What are some recommendations for these categories:
- Deli/sandwich
- authentic Mexican
- steakhouse
- pizza
- barbecue
- premium cocktails

If there’s anything in general that I absolutely must try, those are welcome too. TIA

ETA don’t know which part of town quite yet, but preliminary suggestions will suffice.

Can only speak to BBQ. Regardless of what part of town you'll be in there will be great BBQ nearby.

Check out the following and others may want to expand the list:
Truth
Killens
Corkscrew
The Pit Room
Pinkerton's
Roegels
Brett's
Feges

Houston is loaded with so many great places. It’s like you name your genre and there are 10 Michelin type places that will all be equally great.

Don’t come to Houston looking for a NY/Jewish style deli…there are just so many better places. I guess if you’re dead set on it, Kenny and Ziggy’s would be what you want.

What kind of Mexican…like elevated, sit down dining or taco shops?

The BBQ recs are solid…I’ll add Loro for something different.

Cocktails…the Clarkwood

Agree w/ all the mexican and bbq recs.

Steak - Georgia James is awesome. Highly recommend. Papa Bros is fine but nothing that you can't get anywhere else.

Pizza - Nonno's is probably the buzziest place. Haven't been but I've heard great things. The interior is designed to look like a 1980s-90s pizza joint.

Truth is amazing. The brisket is perfect and the sides are just as amazing.

We were in Houston in October for a couple of days testing at Texas Children's. Our case manager's husband was a BBQ aficionado and said he would pick Truth over any other place in town.

Just be warned that they do sell out often so it's better to go there for lunch.
