Heading to Texas, need some food recommendations...
Mods feel free to move this if this is not the proper sub-forum. In any case, I'm heading to Texas in a couple weeks and am a foodie at heart. Can you guys recommend some "when you're in Houston, you gotta try this place" food spots for me? I'm from Hawaii and as you can imagine, we don't have a lot of good BBQ or Mexican food out here.....both of which I love, and both of which Texas has a lot of. I'll be flying into IAH and will be driving to the Katy area, so anywhere in between. I have a car and am a total maniac and am willing to drive an hour to get there if need be. Post away!

Take a short side trip north of Houston to Conroe for chicken-fried steak, peach cobbler, and the namesake swimmin' critter at Vernon's Kountry Katfish, then pick up some ribs and a brisket-stuffed tater at McKenzie's Barbecue. Lip-smackin' good Southern cookin'.

Depends on what you're in the mood for:
Mexican Food:
Chuy's
Pappasitos
Ninfa's on Navigation
Lupe Tortilla
BBQ: (unfortunately you have to go a little further into Texas to get really good BBQ, BUT since you're not from here your standards may not be quite as high as a native ![Smile](https://cdn-w.eccie.net/images/smilies/smile.gif) )
Rudy's
Luling City Market
Killens (haven't tried this one personally, but everyone seems to rave about it)
Misc. Food:
Niko Niko's (very good greek cafe)
Taste of Texas (good steak house)
The Hay Merchant (good beer house with a really good burger)
Star Pizza (really good pizza)
House of Pies (good late night breakfast place)
Whataburger (Texas based fast food joint, definitely try it!)

If you're going for Mexican (Tex Mex) try to hit up some local, non franchised, fare. My personal favorite is Puebla's Bakery. It's also a restaurant. Great home cooked Mexican food. Mom and the son are in the back cooking. It's not over priced and you get good portions. Wednesdays they have outstanding tortilla soup. They are on North Main, just south of 610.

Lol, exactly! The choices out here in Hawaii are few and far between, so I may be pretty easy to please.

Ain't that the truth. I've been to New Orleans for work a few years back and it was one of the best food trips I've been on. Hahaha tough to get any work done when you're so damn full of beignets, muffaletas, and BBQ shrimp. Not to mention our meeting being the same week as Mardi Gras

I'm not a Texan and likely wouldn't fully understand, but WTF would it matter if there were BBQ joints in the city limits?
In any case, I was just in Austin (in March) and I was one of those crazy fools standing in line at Franklin BBQ. I know some people tout it as the best, and some say it's just ok. For me, it was life changing! Best damn brisket I've had in my entire life.....absolutely no doubt in my mind. So much so that I waited in line 4 hours to make sure I got some (apparently they sell out almost every day). Lol, and then I did it again the very next day.
