I literally only eat here for breakfast because it's within waddling distance of my place. I rarely eat for lunch. Their breakfast is dirt cheap and delicious. For whatever reason, I always forget this place is cash only when eating lunch because…More »

I've been eating here a lot over my holiday break, so I thought I'd update my review for logistics for those visiting the BK  & are unfamiliar with heinous Midtown/4th ward parking. In my original review, I chastised this place for the long lines and…More »

Based on reviews, I went for the great migas plate for $6.49. The breakfast tacos looked delicious, too. But I sort of took the uncomplicated road of "Migas Plate" versus "ummmmm.........tacos.....with .....uhhh.....bacon....and...l et's…More »

Loud, sizzling fajitas immediately make you the celebrity of any restaurant.

Entranced by the billowing smoke and deafening sizzling, your audience of jealous onlookers knows exactly who you are and where you are sitting. I love surveying the tableau…More »

The crepe phenomenon suggests that we're willing to pay an upwards of $5 in general for someone else to dump Nutella and an assortment of fruit into cooked batter, fold it, and serve it to us. In fact, I found myself lining up at 9:45 AM on a weekend…More »

Y'all cray cray. This place is five stars. Great ambiance, a full bar, great food, and good coffee--for Houston, especially. This and Agora are great. Granted, Agora has the added food truck plus and the comfort of an actual parking lot.

Diner food with cheap happy hours. Has bison burgers. Chicken tortilla soup pretty good. They also make a mean meatloaf.

I liked the peach bellini as far as happy hours.

Service usually quick, hence its appeal as a downtown lunch spot except once they…More »

A Montrose institution. Has a "health food" spin. Love the bison burger with BBQ sauce and sweet potato fries. The burger comes out nice and juicy. It's easy to dry out a bison burger but this is consistently good.

Ziggyritas pack quite the punch.

Upscale Mexican with exceptional cocktails, desserts, and lovely brunch setting even for a $30-ish buffet.

Good for a fancy-ish but casual dinner or brunch.

Recently updated lists from Cee B.

Pizza Slut (20)

What an appropriate pun on Pizza Hut. These are some of my faves...

STELLA WAS A DIVER: DIVE BARS (30)

Interpol throwback aims to tie together my comprehensive list of largely inside-the-loop Houston dive bars. From one irony-appreciating, people-watching, thrill-seeking-yet-no-fri lls-seeking bar-goer to another, please enjoy the dirt-cheap drinks.

BURGER ME TIMBERS (21)

Best burgers. Do the dayum thang.

Country Cookin' (15)

Some country cooking or even some upscale Southern style. Cue Big Krit feat. Luda.

Memorial Heights, C'mon N Raise Up! (13)

Good food in the not-quite-Heights-but-not -quite-Midtown awkward enclave, my hood, Memorial Heights.

This Is How EaDo It (11)

This is How EaDo It, baby

Upscale Drive-Thrus (5)

Put on your finest jammy jams, because these non-fast-food eateries offer drive-thrus.

I'm sorry, but I've reached a point in my life, or rather, a nadir, where I don't consider Chick-Fil-A to be fast food.

Texicans Unite (12)

Tex-Mex or Just Mexican food.

Keep on Truckin' - Food Trucks (18)

I dig mobile munchies, they're like rogues on wheels because most cities try to pass all these ridiculous ordinances to limit them & they keep coming strong. Moreover, they're usually the product of some local broke 20-something's dreams or some former distinguished chef's solo career. They usually lead to a brick & mortar restaurant if they achieve popularity. They're also all around the bars at 2AM just when you need them. Sure, some are annoyingly cash only.

Aus10, TX (24)

By no means an exhaustive review of Texas' prettiest city (with rivalry from Lajitas, TX & Big Bend National Park near Alpine, TX).
