544 Waugh Drive, Houston

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“That mushroom and cauliflower pizza was a total win after the Rockets game tonight. The food is great, but let’s be honest, I am definitely the best thing you will see in Houston this evening. A confident guy should say hello and find out what you are missing.”

4 Bad Astronaut Brewing Co.

4.5 Superb 326 Reviews

1519 Fulton Street, Houston

“I’ve been here a few times, hang out with friends and for events. They have a nice selection of beer, good music, can play games. It can get crowded, but the inside is big enough that it usually doesn’t feel packed. One thing to keep in mind: it can get really hot during the summer when they open up the large front windows—Houston humidity with no breeze is no joke. But the back section for live music has A/C. They don’t serve food, but there’s always a good food truck parked out front. Nice spot to meet up with friends or catch an event.”

5 Barbacana

4.6 Superb 181 Reviews

907 Franklin Street, Houston

• Delivery

“I recently hosted a client dinner at Barbacana with a party of 10 and they knocked it out of the park. Chef Christian Hernandez put together a great experience. Every course was well done and the wine pairings were spot on and reasonably priced. It felt like a true culinary experience, not just a client dinner. The service was equally impressive. The staff walked us through each course, explained the ingredients and pairings, and handled our larger group without missing a beat. Chef Hernandez has clearly spent time in Michelin starred kitchens, and that experience shows. It was a great evening for our team and our clients. We will definitely be back.”

18 7 Seas Oyster Bar

4.9 Superb 87 Reviews

9889 Bellaire Blvd D256, Houston

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“I will admit it, we were nitially skeptical about visiting an oyster bar in Chinatown. It isn't the first place that comes to mind for raw seafood, but I am glad we gave it a chance because we were thoroughly impressed and it has become our favorite place to visit in Chinatown. The food was exceptionally fresh, everything was cooked perfectly, and the staff provided a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including a large platter of raw oysters on ice, garlicky baked oysters, giant crab fingers, and a serving of uni. The presentation was excellent, served on elegant gold trays with delicate edible orchids. Additionally, we asked our server if they had any off menu seafood options, and they delivered a beautiful platter that wasn't listed on the regular menu. I won't spoil exactly what was on it since availability may change, but I highly recommend asking your server about any specials they might have available. Do not let the location deter you. It is a bit of a splurge, but completely worth it for the quality of the seafood. We will definitely be returning.”

“Love this spot. So. Much. Good vibes on quiet days; Fern, Sarah, Jenny, Ben, and the rest of the crew are so cool. Bumping right on the weekends. Fun lights everywhere, Dollar pool, darts available, and two patios. Can't ask for more. Drinks are good and all lq & beer at a fair price, esp for the area - can get a few rounds for under $30, and they have good boilermaker deals. Food prices are steep, will say that. Either way, so happy this is my neighborhood bar!!!!!!”
