Roadhouse-style cooking is a Texas trademark, and if you haven’t experienced it you’re really missing out. Roadhouses are open restaurants with big tables, wood floors and delicious steak, barbecue, and other favorites. Walk in the door and you’ll be greeted by a complimentary bowl of peanuts to shell while you’re waiting for your order to come out of the kitchen.

The menu offers standards and everything on it is executed well. Start off with the delicious fried pickles, which win raves from regulars. For entrees, you can’t go wrong with their hand-cut steaks, especially the well-marbled Fort Worth ribeye. Their tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs also win raves, as do the sirloin tips in mushroom gravy. They also have a VIP club that you can sign up for to get a free appetizer.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2014!

Since opening in 2010, Fusion 36 Degrees has become one of the most popular spots for health-conscious Katy residents to pick up a beverage. Their incredible customer service is illustrated by their guarantee – if you don’t like what you ordered for any reason, they’ll make you a new drink for free! Not many people take advantage of that offer, though, as the quality of their juices is incredibly high.

Fusion has an incredible array of flavors available in their smoothies, including common fruits like strawberry and banana and more exotic preparations like taro and jasmine tea. Fusion 36 Degrees also serves a variety of milk teas, bubble teas and other beverages. It’s become a popular spot for students to work because there’s plenty of very comfortable seating and many wall outlets to power laptops and other electronics. There’s also a restaurant next door if you’re looking for a bite to eat!
