best houston restaurants

Great deserts at Grand Lux Cafe. Like Cheesecake Factory.

Great seafood at Goode Company seafood. Try a Campachana, it's like seafood salsa, very good.

Fuzzy's pizza is pretty good also as well as Ruso's New York pizza.

Katz's is good for New York style deli. Open 24 hours. Closest location to you would be the Westheimer one close to Montrose Blvd.

Houston...one of the highest (if not THE highest) restaurants per capita in the nation...have fun...like Vegas don't try to do it all in one trip

Holly, welcome to Houston! I've dined with lovely ladies at all of the venues below, and they are excellent.

In the Galleria area, consider:

Trulucks - great seafood and awesome wine bar

Capital Grille - incredible steaks and ambiance

Post Oak Grill - very fine

Tango and Malbec - Argentina food

Ragin Cajun - simple but authentic Cajun (not too far from Galleria on Richmond; inexpensive and fun)

Enjoy!

Damn.... that's a bad ass list, Rezo.

Now I am dying of the hunger, but it's 8:30, nothing is open.

Trulucks, Post Oak Grille as mentioned before. But with that avatar seems more likely you would be the feast rather than the feaster...!

Kimchi food truck! Come on people!!!

Asking where to eat in Houston is akin to asking which provider has the best pussy.

Will we be limiting our dining experience to a certain budget or particular area of Houston?

My list is primarily unique to Houston or a few locations around the country type of places. Most importantly the food on the menu is almost universally great.

For the record I like dumpster diving at Cavatore's and Spaghetti Warehouse...ijs
