Save Room for the ‘Brownie Meltdown’ at Pecos Grilling Company in Tomball

February 25, 2016 by

The owners of Pecos Grilling Company, Dodge City sheriff Fred Sembera and executive chef Chuck Buenger, conceptualized Pecos as a top-quality steak and seafood restaurant with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Take a walk through the dining room, and you’ll likely see parents and children enjoying a family meal, old-timers swapping stories over prime rib, and young singles enjoying themselves at the bar.

As for food, regulars recommend the fried asparagus appetizer followed by the pecan-grilled sirloin with fried shrimp. If you can take the heat, go for the jalapeno-topped Diablo Burger, or opt for something a little more comforting — perhaps an order of pot roast, "Mom's" meatloaf, or Grandma Glady's made-from-scratch chicken and dumplings. Whatever you do, try to leave room for dessert: the restaurant's brownie meltdown is the stuff of legends, and you can't go wrong with the rum-sauce-drizzled grilled banana!

Pecos Grilling Company opens at 11 a.m. daily. Free Wi-Fi is offered!

Yucatan Taco Stand and Tequila Bar: Latin Fusion Fare Comes North of the Border

October 29, 2015 by

Thanks to Yucatan Taco Stand and Tequila Bar, The Woodlands eaters don't have to cross the border for fresh, authentic Latin cuisine. They can just head to this colorful taqueria, inspired by the sights, sounds, and flavors of the traditional taco stand.

It should come as no surprise that Yucatan is best known for its tacos, but many customers also highly recommend the nachos. They come five different ways, with toppings like garlic beef, tequila-lime chicken, and pork. The crunchy chips, medley of gooey cheeses, and blend of veggies on top remain the same no matter which variety you order. Munch on the nachos while you warm up for a plate of tempura fish tacos or a spicy aged chorizo burrito. You can also dig into a signature entree, such as the tilapia with a lemony chardonnay sauce or a Brazilian steak smothered with chimichurri sauce.
