Eat steak, eat steak do we have one dear?
Eat beef, eat beef it's a mighty good food

Fogo De Chao Churrascaria
Neighborhood: Galleria/Uptown

8250 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77063

Dolph W. writes: If, after reading all the previous 5-star reviews, you don't feel an urge to feast in this meaty paradise, allow me to take a more graphically persuasive approach:

For those who find sex an apt metaphor for a culinary experience, dining at Fogo de…

Mai's Restaurant
Neighborhood: Midtown, Fourth Ward

3403 Milam St
Houston, TX 77002

Lisa A. writes: The reviews are across the board for Mai's and from all kinds of Yelpers. Nostalgic yelpers, well-traveled Yelpers, vegetarian Yelpers, even Yelpers that like Mai's late night. I'm guessing that the answer to the mixed reviews lies somewhere in the…

Brasil
Neighborhood: Montrose

2604 Dunlavy St
Houston, TX 77006

Andrea R. writes: This spacious yet charming cafe has plenty of tables to occupy...it's the type of place I could sit down for hours and get lots of work done. However, with the lack of electrical outlets (I finally found 1 in the back corner of the caf) it's…

Chuy's
Neighborhood: River Oaks, Upper Kirby

2706 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77098

Allan P. writes: I have lived in Houston my whole life. I have eaten at many, many Tex-Mex restaraunts. Chuy's is hands down the best. I wonder how many of the readers even know about the Creamy Jalapeno sauce. When you take out...as I often do its only 25…

Mission Burritos
Neighborhood: Upper Kirby

2245 W Alabama St
Houston, TX 77098

Emily S. writes: I confess, I am kind of obsessed with Mission Burrito. Honestly, I just don't get why anyone would prefer Chipotle or Freebirds. Mission has superior ingredients (salsa is amazing, fresh corn and cilantro are my fave's) AND they have free…

Ragin Cajun
Neighborhood: Highland Village

4302 Richmond Ave
Houston, TX 77027

Cory O. writes: Okay, so after reading all the reviews for Ragin Cajun, I knew we'd have to check it out this crawfish season. Sure enough, we started seeing all the crawfish signs going up and it wasn't long before the hubby was begging for a night of little…

Hobbit Cafe
Neighborhood: Upper Kirby

2243 Richmond Ave
Houston, TX 77098

Jennifer H. writes: Yea I'm in ... btw what kind of food do Hobbits eat? Word.

Hugo's
Neighborhood: Montrose

1602 Westheimer Road
Houston, TX 77006

Jape D. writes: The Dango can only speak for the weekend brunch here...and I'm addicted. It can get crowded...get there early or late so as to avoid the rush...they will take reservations.

Cocktail menu is lights out (try the Bandelero...addictive) and the…

The Chocolate Bar
Neighborhood: Montrose

1835 W Alabama St
Houston, TX 77098

Allison P. writes: Chocolate Covered Pringles.

That's right you heard me. Chocolate covered Pringles. This place really has everything chocolate. Cake, ice cream, strawberries, marshmallows, dog treats (vet approved) . . .

I know I will be back, and back again . . . the…

Mark's American Cuisine
Neighborhood: Montrose

1658 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77006

Cory O. writes: Um, yeah, best restaurant in town. That I've been to. But I've seen my share of delicious restaurants and I will say that the food here is near perfection.

Some great things that they did right (and are to be expected at a restaurant of this…

Niko Niko's Greek & American Cafe
Neighborhood: Montrose

2520 Montrose Blvd
Houston, TX 77006

meredith l. writes: If Niko Niko's opened a Dallas location, I'd have to buy a whole new wardrobe because I would easily put on an additional 20 pounds.

NN's does all the little things right. It's not hard to make a good Greek salad - theirs is great. It's not hard to…

The Breakfast Klub
Neighborhood: Midtown, Fourth Ward

3711 Travis St
Houston, TX 77002

Matthew M. writes: Holy good gosh! What an amazing experience and great way to spend a Saturday morning. The smells bellowing out of TBK and the people watching are worth the 30-45 minute wait in line outside in the Texas heat. The food was truly amazing and if…

Star Pizza
Neighborhood: Upper Kirby

2111 Norfolk St
Houston, TX 77098

Nicole D. writes: Squeee Star Pizza! I'd been looking forward to trying this place out since I found out I was moving to Texas and first started exploring Yelp Houston. Needless to say, it lived up to all the expectations I'd set for it. My only regret is that I…

Kim Son Restaurant
Neighborhood: Eastwood

2001 Jefferson Street
Houston, TX 77003

Jolyn R. writes: My ex-husband just had a baby with his new girlfriend. So I took my kids to St. Joseph's to see their new baby brother. Is this TMI? Too Jerry Springer-ish?

On the way home, I really really needed a drink and something great to eat. My kiddos idea of…

Frenchy's Chicken
Neighborhood: MacGregor

3919 Scott Street
Houston, TX 77004

Dave L. writes: OK, normally when I'm in the middle of triathlon season (yeah, yeah whatever, I gotta do something with my free time), I try to avoid all processed foods, refined sugars and most of all fried foods. But every once in a while, especially after a…

Ruggles Cafe Bakery
Neighborhood: West University

2365 Rice Blvd
Houston, TX 77005

henry w. writes: WHITE CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING.... you must get this.

All the other desserts are kind of ordinary. In fact they probably get jealous from time to time and try to murder the white chocolate bread pudding. Save our friend by coming here and ordering it…

Taste of Texas
Neighborhood: Memorial

10505 Katy Fwy
Houston, TX 77024

Dolph W. writes: The true Taste of Texas is meat
And beef lovers crave some to eat.
So, serve a filet
With which she can play
Then smile as she downs that thick treat.

Playing with your food might best be done in a private setting, but Taste of Texas certainly…

La Madeleine French Bakery & Cafe
Neighborhood: Galleria/Uptown

5015 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77056

Irene F. writes: No it's not the best of French fare, but this place manages to satisfy for lunch. Themushroom soup was awesome, albeit rather heavy (go for a cup rather than a bowl if you're watching your girlish figure). The prices are decent, the atmosphere is…

Spanish Flower Mexican Restaurant
Neighborhood: The Heights

4701 N Main St
Houston, TX 77009

Teresa T. writes: Based on the previous 5 star reviews...that this "Tex-Mex" restaurant has been awarded. I had to check it out for myself...and INDEED this restaurant deserves 5 stars!!! The one "four" star rating they received...must have come from a tough…

Agora
Neighborhood: Montrose

1712 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77098

Farrah A. writes: Why can't every coffee house be like Agora? Quiet, cozy, homey ... um, there's alcohol... I almost went back home to pack my stuff and move right on in.

My first visit here, I didn't order any Joe, just enjoyed plopping my bum on the couch upstairs…

Yia Yia Mary's Pappas Greek Kitchen
Neighborhood: Galleria/Uptown, Rice Military

4747 San Felipe St
Houston, TX 77056

Laura R. writes: This is my favorite stop when in Houston (which, considering the city, isn't all that often). Yia Yia Mary's is almost worth the trip within itself.

Located right near the Galleria, the location is convenient. The waitstaff is always very courteous…

Thelma's Barbque
Neighborhood: Eastwood

1020 Live Oak St
Houston, TX 77003

Sergio S. writes: This lady's and gentlemen is my new favorite BBQ ever. I've never gasped at the sight of my BBQ sandwich, so imagine my surprise when I opened my container and marveling at the sight. It's a hefty sandwich. So unless you are completely starved--I'd…

Nippon Japanese Restaurant
Neighborhood: Museum District

4464 Montrose Blvd
Houston, TX 77006

La Tapatia Taqueria
Neighborhood: Museum District

1749 Richmond Ave
Houston, TX 77098

Farrah A. writes: You ain't gotta go home, but you got to get the *##% outta here!

We've all heard that one before. And when I do, i grab the gang and make way to La Tapatia. Cause after the party is the hotel party ... or, er, the La Tapatia party. I love dancing with…

Rickshaw
Neighborhood: River Oaks, Upper Kirby

2810 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77098

Cory O. writes: Evidently they're under new management which is (in my opinion) provided some great changes. The quality of sushi is still there, which is great. What really impressed me with the major improvements in service from the staff. The owner even came…

Shiva Indian Restaurant
Neighborhood: West University

2514 Times Blvd
Houston, TX 77005

Lisa A. writes: I HATE Indian food. But, every three or so years when I actually eat at an Indian food restaurant I LOVE Indian food (except the time I went to the lunch buffet and felt sick the rest of the day, I didn't love that). You can see the quandary.

Since…

IKEA

7810 Katy Fwy
Houston, TX 77024

Cory O. writes: After hearing about IKEA for years (my friends used to drive to Houston just to furnish their apartment), I finally made the plunge and checked it out. Wow. When we pulled into the parking lot, I knew it was going to be huge, but I was not prepared…

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen
Neighborhood: Upper Kirby

2410 Richmond Ave
Houston, TX 77098

Ms. Shari Z. writes: You kind of can't go wrong here.

Onion Creek
Neighborhood: The Heights

3106 White Oak Dr
Houston, TX 77007

Lisa A. writes: 10 Interesting Facts About Onion Creek:

1. They make a crappy chili cheese dog. Yes, it's cheap but it's also tastes weird and they use that skinny, shredded processed cheese that doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
2. Their order station is a…

New York Pizzeria
Neighborhood: Braeswood Place, West University

2250 W Holcombe Blvd
Houston, TX 77030

Lisa A. writes: After calling all over town to see who has prosciutto as a pizza ingredient (I was denied by Star Pizza (ahem), Romano Flying Pizza and Late Night Pies, I finally got hold of New York Pizzeria. I'm giving them one extra star because they prosciutto…

Benihana
Neighborhood: Downtown, Fourth Ward

1318 Louisiana St
Houston, TX 77002

Cory O. writes: Yes, it is a chain, but it is a sure fire crowd pleaser so you have to give them credit for that. The whole dinner and a show thing is always fun--especially if the people you're with are boring (it was the staple in Alaska to go there with large…

Brown Bag Deli
Neighborhood: Montrose

2036 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77098

Lisa A. writes: Yummy sandwiches and a perfect place for me to get on-line (free Wifi) and get a bite to eat while I do some work. I like the concept of filling out your brown bag menu and checking off your order...it's a bag, no it's a menu, no it's a bag....

The…

Ocean Palace Restaurant
Neighborhood: Alief

11215 Bellaire Blvd
Houston, TX 77072

Taco Milagro
Neighborhood: River Oaks

2555 Kirby Drive
Houston, TX 77019

Michelle C. writes: I was here for an early lunch on a Sunday, so I can't comment on the scene here - we were pretty much the only people in the place. I tried the grilled fish tacos and they were very bland, even after being salted. I also poached a little of my…

Empire Cafe
Neighborhood: Montrose

1732 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77098

Mornings Kolaches
Neighborhood: Clear Lake

2402 Bay Area Blvd
Houston, TX 77058

Walker S. writes: A kolache? What's that? And don't you think Texas is a strange place to look for a kolache? Actually, Texas is the perfect place to look for a kolache because Galveston is where the kolache first entered the U.S. Texas is not just big, it is…
