Go For the Sliced Brisket at Spring Creek Barbeque

October 23, 2014 by

Texas has a great reputation for barbecue, so it’s not surprising that League City has more than its share of excellent places to get slow-cooked meat. One of the most popular is Spring Creek Barbecue, a chain with multiple outposts all over the state.

The food here is solid. You order your choice of meat from the counter, and then you choose your side dishes from a cafeteria-style setup. For meat, you can’t go wrong with the Texas-style sliced brisket. It’s cooked to perfection, with a crisp outer layer and a tender consistency that practically melts in your mouth. Other popular choices include the ribs and the sausage. For sides, opt for the fried okra and the cornbread.

Prices are fair, but service can be a tad slow when the place gets busy.

Stomp’s Burger Joint: Hearty Burgers Served With Western Flair

September 4, 2014 by

Housed within an unpretentious, Western-style shack, Stomp’s Burger Joint has been a neighborhood favorite for juicy burgers for years.

Here, meals are best preceded with an order of fried jalapenos or fried pickles, both served with classic ranch dressing. At Stomp's, the batter for these fried finger foods is made in-house. The burgers run the gamut from traditional styles to more interesting combinations. Try the Stomper with two beef patties, refried beans, guacamole, and sour cream for a Tex-Mex twist. The Panhandler is another popular choice; this burger soaks a beef patty in hot wing sauce and adds crumbled blue cheese on a toasted bun. The sides are also very tasty, with regulars recommending the “split order” of half fries and half onion rings.

Try the Stuffed Avocado at Jimmy Changas

August 28, 2014 by

There's no shortage of Tex-Mex eateries in League City, but locals know that one of the very best is Jimmy Changas. This eatery lands solidly on the "Tex" side of the border, with dishes that are suited for the American palate, but the food is quite good.

When you walk in the front door, you’ll notice a soft serve ice machine in the entrance, which is known to captivate the kiddos. Get to the counter and you’ll have quite a menu to peruse. Jimmy Changas’ signature dish is stuffed avocado, a huge, creamy fruit breaded and fried with your choice of fajita and cheese. Other items well worth ordering include the chimichangas, especially the Bad Daddy, a huge flour tortilla stuffed with fajita beef and cheese and fried, then drowned in cheese and sauce. It’s a serious mouthful.

It's worth noting that Jimmy Changas gives back to the community by supporting a number of local nonprofits with food donations.

Fusion Burgers at League City’s Burger House

August 7, 2014 by

The simple hamburger doesn’t seem to have much that can be improved on, but there’s actually a lot of wiggle room that distinguishes a truly classic burger from the competition. League City locals rave about Burger House, which they claim makes the absolute best in town.

You wouldn’t guess it from looking at the building — a converted Captain D’s Seafood — but this place does good old-fashioned American burgers and fries to perfection. The hamburgers start with a perfectly-charred 1/3 pound patty on a fresh, soft bun accessorized with all the favorites: onions, pickles, lettuce and tomato. The roots of the owners shine through in the presence of some Korean cuisine twists on American classics. For example, the fan favorite bulgogi burger is made with shredded beef marinated in a sweet, sticky sauce. Sides are equally accomplished, with the thick, hot crinkle-cut fries earning rave reviews.
