Little Daddy’s Gumbo Bar: Bayou Cuisine in League City

June 25, 2015 by

If you’re looking for solid Southern-style food in League City, regulars will likely point you in the direction of Little Daddy’s Gumbo Bar. This is a local favorite for generous portions of authentic Bayou cuisine.

Start your meal off with a plate of char-grilled oysters, given just enough fire to bring out their flavor, or opt for a side of fried pickles. The Big Easy barbecued shrimp are packed with flavor. As you might expect from the name, the gumbos are Little Daddy's specialty. The gumbo is prepared in steam kettles, special pots that are pressurized to keep the flavors strong and clear. This dense, powerful soup comes with prime rib, seafood, or chicken and sausage and is served over dirty rice. Also popular are the po’ boy sandwiches, available in two sizes. Try the crawfish tail meat or the fried soft-shell crab.

El Centinela Proves that Mexican Food Can Be a Balanced Breakfast

June 4, 2015 by

You might not immediately think of a Mexican restaurant for breakfast, but El Centinela wants to change that. The casual Mexican eatery on Highway 3 may look rather nondescript from the outside, a beige building with a few windows installed in the storefront, but inside awaits a colorful, spicy smorgasbord of breakfast fare.

In fact, most customers who've left Yelp reviews are so impressed by the morning grub that they specifically mention the caliber of the breakfast fare. The affordably priced fare ranges from a breakfast burrito filled with eggs, meat, beans, and cheese to the more extravagant supreme omelet. Its ingredient list starts out normally enough, with bacon, ham, cheese, onions, and potatoes, but the addition of beans and chunks of tender cactus make it a true treat in the morning. Huevos rancheros and migs con huevo (eggs with tomatoes) round out the breakfast menu.

You can also come to El Centinela for lunch or dinner, however. The Mexican food is just authentic later in the day. Dig into a set of the popular barbacoa tacos if you decide to dine after noon.

Texas Brisket Steals the Show at Spring Creek Barbeque

April 23, 2015 by

Texas is barbecue country, with beef brisket being the trademark dish of the state. The ideal brisket should be crisp and savory on the outside, with a pink, tender core that melts in your mouth. If you’re in League City and looking to sample some of this amazing tradition, stop in at Spring Creek Barbeque. If you’re in a hurry, you might want to eat somewhere else, as great meat takes time.

Brisket here is executed ably, with just the right amount of fat. The ribs are also highly recommended, and don’t forget to get a side of fried okra. You'll even receive a free scoop of ice cream for dessert, if by some miracle you’re still hungry. The house-made barbecue sauce is a local favorite, with a thin consistency but notable flavor, and it's sold by the bottle if you want to take some home.

Tuscany Bistro: Uncover a Hidden Jewel in League City

April 2, 2015 by

Tucked into a strip center alongside a grocery store, Tuscany Bistro is an unassuming, family-owned restaurant that serves high quality Italian dishes in League City. Sandra Howren and Pili Arnao took over Tuscany Bistro in the summer of 2008, and since then they have been making everything on the menu in-house and from scratch. Yelp reviewers recommend any of the freshly baked breads, as well as the avocado chicken salad and signature sandwiches for lunch, and diners can’t stop raving about the lasagna and dry-rub salmon for dinner. Be sure to save room for a slice of tres leches cake for dessert.

The dining room is cozy, tastefully decorated, and refreshingly quiet (no loud music drowning out conversation at the table). The atmosphere is casual enough to take the kids for lunch but refined enough for a date night, especially if the weather is nice enough to enjoy your meal at one of the outdoor patio tables. Mangia, mangia!

Taste Why Sudie’s Seafood House Is Considered a League City Institution

March 26, 2015 by

Sudie's Seafood House is a family-owned Texas institution that melds the delightful cultures of the Gulf region to create delicious, affordable food. For more than 25 years, Sudie's has been satisfying hungers and tantalizing taste buds.

The menu here is extensive; however, regulars note that the roast corn and shrimp chowder is Sudie's stand-out dish. This spectacular soup is such a popular choice that the kitchen often has to hustle to make a new pot in the middle of the day. It’s sweet, savory, and absolutely delicious. Pair your soup with an order of fried catfish, another specialty here. This delicately flavored menu offering is accompanied by hush puppies, pinto beans, cole slaw, and fries, all of which are top-notch. Save room for dessert, as Sudie’s bread pudding is not to be missed!

La India Bonita: Visit the Little Taqueria That Could

December 22, 2014 by

La India Bonita is a little hole in the wall eatery that doesn’t take credit cards, doesn’t deliver, doesn’t have Wi-Fi or TV, doesn’t have hipster decor, and doesn't have a wait staff in cute uniforms. What this League City restaurant does have is some of the most delicious, authentic tacos and tortas this side of the Rio Grande. You'll be happy to chow down on smoky barbacoa tortas or chorizo tacos, and regulars say you should definitely remember to help yourself to some of the free charro beans at the salsa bar.

Place your order at the window, grab a soda or a lemonade from a cooler of Mexican drinks, and take your red plastic basket of food into a little yellow booth in the tiny dining room to enjoy. You'll be glad you've taken a cue from the crowds that pack La India Bonita every lunch hour.
