Houston Restaurant Recommendation
Posted on 5/7/09 at 10:57 am

Celebrating a birthday tomorrow. I'm looking for something in/near the loop.
Usually a big fan of steak. I've been to Fleming's before. Considering another visit to Del Frisco's. But I'm also trying to figure out some other options. Any recommendations?
I'm open to any type but generally prefer American cuisine or steak. Looking for something nice and moderately + priced.

Vic and Anthony's downtown has a good steak.
If I had to limit it to one choice, go with Mark's :

try Benjy's (the new one on Washington) for trendy.
For steak Del Friscos isn't a bad choice. I like Vic & Anthony's downtown...
FYI: Rockets play in town tomorrow night...

Have fun waiting at that place if you go on a Friday or Saturday Night.
You will have 3 Hour wait easy.

Go at like 5 or 6 on Friday or Saturday afternoon and you will walk right in.
Don't forget to get the salad bar. shite is amazing. Fresh bread, cut your own fresh cheese from blocks, plenty of great salad fixings. You also pick out your own steak.
I took the family out to eat there about a month ago....me being fresh out of school, i felt like a baller for doing so, then realized how much it was going to cost me.
