Good eats in Houston

I know you've already rolled through town
​​​​​​But Stanton's is one of my top 3 lifetime burger joints

Thanks, seems like ages ago. I ended up going to Blood Brothers. They did not disappoint.

Pinkertons is a few blocks from my house. I think it's pretty good. But I don't think it lives up to the hype.

I like Gatlins pretty well.

My son's wife is from Houston and he spent a lot of time there while he was in Galveston. His recommendations:

Tex/Mex - Guadalajara - Escalante's (2nd is his preference, 1st is his wife's)
Gulf Seafood - Tony Mendola's
BBQ - The Pit Room

Thems fighting words...

I assume you want Q? In order my top 3 are Tejas in Tomball, Corkscrew in Old town spring, and Pinkertons in the Heights. A lot of people put Truth in there but not me. I was underwhelmed. Friday noon try a pork chop at Perry’s. Pricey at night but a very good deal then. Lupe Tortilla is my favorite "chain" Tex mex. Rudy’s is the only good chain bbq place and it is fine. Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese all awesome.

I don't care much for Dickies and don't see the point with Rudy's everywhere

texastweeter Nothing personal, in fact, I feel for the fans of Houston. If the 2017/18 roster ever gets around to offering an apology, first and foremost should be the Houston fans.

I'll be staying off of Sam Houston blvd. BBQ or Texmex sounds good to me. Thanks for the suggestions.

ComfortablyNumb , That’s it! I couldn’t recall exactly but it definitely seems we are talking of the same thing.

[texastweeter]

Not BBQ but Crawfish and Noodles is good.

[texastweeter]

Easy now...

[texastweeter]

Yeah only 2 chain BBQ joints I'll eat at. Rudy's, and Dickies

[ComfortablyNumb]

Actually it's called 'Asterisks', and the custom to get your server's attention is to beat on a trash can.

I’ll second fracmeister ‘s recommendation for good Tex Mex at Lupe Tortilla.

Don’t some of the Astros’ have a BBQ joint there... I believe it is called Cheaters-Q!

I heard they rigged or stole their "championship winning bbq" title sign or something like that. I think they are known for their beer can chicken and boiled ribs.
