Taste of Texas

Top choice in Houston


Welcome to Houston's favorite steakhouse. While other beef palaces start perusing Las Vegas leases at the first sign of success, this long-running gem stays true to its one location. Go to the butcher shop out back to specify how you want your steak cut. Afterward, get lost in the huge salad bar. Intimate corners contrast with the cavernous central eating space.
