The OpenTable Team

Houston's food scene has been hitting the mark these days. From gourmet places serving decadent meals to cozy homes dishing out Southern comfort food, diners can find it all in this Lone Star city. But where are the smartest, savviest diners eating out? We’ve pulled data from thousands of restaurants to find the top spots among OpenTable's most expert, seasoned diners. In a city known for sausage gravy, gigantic steaks, and fried chicken, it gets hard to know where to start, but when looking for the best brunch spots—this list has it covered.
