Astros/Minute Maid Park Parking/Restaurant Recommendations

Making my first trip to Minute Maid Park Saturday. Just looking for advice on best places to park (don't mind walking to save $$) and good places to grab a bite before the game.

Park as far away as you feel is fair for parking. Close to the stadium max 25.
Eat at Irmas

Vic and Anthony's steakhouse is across the street from the stadium.

I would NOT eat at Irma's if I'm planning to be away from home for the three hours or so.
There are plenty of surface lots in the $5-10 range if you're willing to walk about five blocks. Be careful about street parking; no matter how legal that metered spot looks, there might be a sign posted that will somehow get you a parking ticket.

I park at my office right down the street so I can't help you with parking.

Just a heads up, not sure what time the game is but lots going on downtown this weekend including Garth Brooks at the Toyota Center, so lots of places will be packed.

Restaurants:
ninfa's on navigation if you want good tex mex. you can do a $5 uber to and from the restaurant. But I also think they have a trolley setup on game days. Call them.
Flying saucer on Main Street for good beer and game day crowd. Few blocks walk to stadium pretty straightforward street Parking.
Bovine and barley for more low key crowd.
Luckys has lot parking for sale across the street from them. Decent food but the crowd can be kinda funny.

I actually live two blocks from Minute Maid. There isn't a ton there as far as restaurants, etc. lots of parking so that shouldn't be an issue for you.
Vic and Anthony's is a great steakhouse
If you're looking for more laid back stuff, walk down St. Emanual (southeast of the stadium) a few blocks. There's a Lucky's Sports Bar, Woodrow's bar, and a couple other spots. More into downtown there are nice restaurants. Towards the Toyota Center there is a Pappasito's as well as a House of Blues and a couple of bars on that block as well.
Overall the restaurant/night life scene isn't really built up around the stadiums here like a lot of other cities.
There is a bar that opens up right across from the stadium as well on Gamedays. It's just more of an outdoor beer garden type deal with ballpark type prices tho.
I'll be at the game as well and prob chilling at Woodrow's before and after.

Thanks you. I saw that Homeplate spot that looked like it had horrible reviews. Reading good things about Lucky's. We will only be there for pre-game drinks/lunch. Probably going to start there and park near there.
Flying Saucer is a good spot for sure, they had one in Nashville where I just moved from last month.

If you have kids, Discovery Green is a cool little park to walk around close by too. They usually have kid type stuff going on. There is a restaurant there as well.
