Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille: Clear Lake Steaks

January 30, 2014 by

There's no shortage of steakhouses in Texas, so it takes a lot of effort to stand out from the crowd. Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille manages it with a focus on high-quality ingredients and excellent service. Since opening in 1993, they’ve won raves from diners and press alike, and one meal here might make you a fan.

Start your dining experience with one of their famous appetizers – the prime beef carpaccio is a tremendous take on the rich flavors of beef, and the iced seafood tower is a lavish take on a steakhouse classic. Of course, the real draw here is the expertly-seared steak, and it won’t disappoint. Some cuts that come highly recommended include the bone-in New York strip and the filet mignon. But, surprisingly, their most famous dish isn’t beef at all, but pork. Perry’s signature pork chop is cured, roasted, slow-smoked and caramelized before being carved tableside. It earns big praise from regular diners.

Sudie’s Seafood House: World’s Greatest Catfish

August 27, 2013 by

Sudie's Seafood House is a great choice for the budget-conscious family who wants a break from the assembly-line seafood chains. With only two locations, Sudie’s keeps a tight grip on quality control, consistently serving up a huge selection of mid-price, high-quality Gulf favorites like Crawfish Gumbo. But the real draw here is the farm-raised Mississippi catfish. Sudie’s claims it’s the best in the world, and whether you like it classic—fried in a light, sweet batter, with hushpuppies and fries—expertly blackened, or in a tangy lemon pepper sauce, it’s remarkable stuff, pure and flaky, a feast for all five senses. The catfish entrees run about 12 bucks, or have it all all-you-can-eat for $15.99. Don’t enjoy too many of the blended (and very strong) tropical cocktails—you’ll want to save room for the fish!

Red River BBQ: Simply the Best

June 26, 2013 by

We all know that Texans take their barbecue seriously—it’s a big deal when folks crown a favorite. Listeners of MIX 96.5 agree; Red River BBQ is the best in Houston. And if it’s the best in Houston, it has a claim to being the best in the world. This is an authentically down-home, cheap, and delicious experience that will shame those pretenders from Memphis and Kansas City. Grab a handful of peanuts when you walk in the door, and head straight for the ribs. The wet, slow-cooked meat falls off the bone, dissolving in your mouth with a smoky, caramelized tang. The spicy sausage po’boy is delicately crisp and juicy, with just the right amount of heat. And the green beans have that sweet, off-the-grill snap. Naturally there’s beer, and ribs are all you can eat every Saturday and Sunday for $7.95! Red River BBQ is open until 10 p.m. Monday – Thursday, and 11 p.m. on weekends.

The Italian Cafe: A Bella Trattoria

June 19, 2013 by

This is a genuine trattoria, more family living room than restaurant. You’re greeted warmly as you enter the cozy dining area, where you choose your entree from the display, grab a plate, and sit down to watch your meal being prepared in the lively, open kitchen. Servers bring your food and bus your table, but that’s all. The result is a loud, loose, unhurried vibe that feels close to Italy itself. The menu mixes old world favorites like three-cheese Lasagna with Creole-inflected fare like white ribbon Pappardelle Pasta, with sauteed breaded chicken strips and spicy piccata sauce. The ingredients are fresh, the cheese is rich, and the gravy (as your Italian grandma would say) is to die for. Like the best family reunions, it’s strictly BYOB; the Cafe provides wine glasses, ice buckets, and corkscrews for a $2.50 corkage fee. And they don’t accept tips, so why not splurge on a round of Espresso?  Buon appetito.
