4.0 of 5 stars. Good, solid food at reasonable prices. There's usually a long wait, and they don't take reservations or do take-out, but if you can wait or come at off-peak hours, it's worth it! The interior is...

Diabetics Beware

I'm really on the fence with this place, the food is good, but there's not a lot of variety, there are Ribs, Burgers, Chicken and Fish, all well prepared and tasty, but none of it is all that exciting. Once...

Great Ambiance, Below Average Service

When you happen to get the right server, with the right cooks at the right time, Houstons can be a truly memorable experience. The one constant at Houstons is their wonderful environment and ambiance. It is...

I can tell you I have had just about everything on the menu and it is all good. The ribs are succulent, the burgers are just awesome! And the steak just doesn't get any better.

Great food, Good Service, but by Danh N. at InsiderPages

It seems a bit too dark/gloomy in there, but I guess its just me. The food excellent! Filet Minon, medium rare with a loaded potato. Can't go wrong with that, coupled along with a nice glass of wine, and some...

This is one of my very favorite restaurants, but not that baby friendly. It's a little dark inside. We've taken our 1 year old a few times, but we've gotten a few looks from other diners.
