Food in and around Greater Houston

If you like BBQ and ever travel through Luling, be sure to hit the Luling City Market.

Agreed... Go to Luling and Lockhart. I'd slap my mama for some Kreuz's right now.

Yes there are food trucks, kinda a trendy thing right now. They come to my office every wed. Imo, pricey and only ok

There's a few parking lot that a bunch congregate at.

Not a food truck. I mean some guy or husband/wife in a truck that unloads a couplea folding tables and cooking equipment and sets up shop on a wide sidewalk somewhere. You pick a meat and ingredients and they cook it for you. And you do not see them until it's fully night time.

You can see this all over L.A. and along the Embarcadero in San Francisco; also a bit around Oakland and Berkeley.

Authentic Mexican Restaurant, Tex Mex & Best Mexican Food Houston TX

Best BBQ I've had in this area goes Corkscrew. Get there early to even have a chance at getting their pulled pork or ribs...

CorkScrew BBQ

CorkScrew rocks! But if the line is too long or CorkScrew is soldout Godfather's on the other side of I45 on Rayford ain't bad either.

Central Texas Style BBQ on 518 by the tracks in Pearland was good when I used to go there too. Been a few years. BBQ baked potato was huge.

Now that I'm starting to get settled here, I'm really wanting to find some good eats. ...most of the time, at night I lay my head in North Houston.

The greater Houston metro area is packed with more great places to eat than anyone could possibly visit in a lifetime. You really need to decide what type of places you want to visit instead of simply "no Thai" if you want a chance at coming up with a short list of must-try places.

For example, if you do a search on the Houston Press website for places outside the loop, generally on the NW side, and limit the result to just Critic's Top Picks/Best ofs/Recommended spots, you get a list of 61 restaurants!

Forgot about this one if you want some southern cooking and are downtown.

This place has great food, in The Galleria area and not overly priced.

These places are actual brick and mortar type businesses, but sell great tacos like the mobile stands do. While they do have tables and chairs they are mainly walk up.

Taqueria Los Reyes: 4901 N McCarty St, Houston, TX 77013

Hell yeah! Love love love me some Los Reyes. Best damn Machacada in Houston.

Triple J's BBQ on Homestead, a little north of 610 has some seriously killer BBQ chicken. And you have to try the dirty rice.

In North Houston I would go for Potato Patch in Spring, TX. If you are in the Humble/Atascocita area I would go for El Jalapeno Restaurant, Humble City Café, Triggs Cafe and Tin Roof BBQ.

Forgot about Tiggs cafe cbp210, good onion rings. Garry Lee has been managing that since he sold/left his gun store and range after the 'troubles'. He is a good guy.

If your out late try house of pies. It's like IHOP but better.

.
I always stop by Jason's Deli whenever in the Woodlands (google Jason's for other Houston locations)

soups, sandwiches, salads (and free smoothie ice cream)

I get this :

The New York Yankee $8.59 - $7.09
3/4 Pound combo of hot corned beef and pastrami, Swiss and your choice of mustard or mayo, on rye.

with a side of sauerkraut and I usually take 1/2 of it home for the next day's lunch

 

[Glockster69]

Katz's Deli Montrose location - for the freak show AND the food

Goode Company BBQ / Seafood (separate locations). Get the freakin pecan pie, it's AWESOME!
