Good Eats, Good Times in Houston

From inside the Tré to the suburbs, we share a few of our favorite restaurants in Houston. It is not just the food that we love, it is the legacy, sense of community, and welcoming spirit of the owners.

One who eats alone cannot discuss the taste of the food with others is a great African proverb. So, gather your tribe and celebrate these wonderful homegrown favorites. They are not fast-food chains; so go in, be patient, learn something new, support the community and enjoy the moments.
