    Going to be in that area tomorrow, just wanted to know if there were any good places to grab some lunch and drinks around there?

    Last time I was in that area Astroworld was still around, so yeah it’s been a while….

    Pappasito's is probably your best bet. It's on the 610 feeder, right across from Reliant.

    I would head to the Rice Village. Tons of fantastic restaurants in there. Pretty much any cuisine that you could want.

    a few of my favorites

    Mi Luna (tapas)
    Istanbul grill (turkish / mediterranean)
    Bombay Brasserie (Indian)
    Cafe Rabalais (French...might only be open for dinner though)

    If you can get to Rice Village, check out Ruggles. I ate there the other night and it was pretty damn good. I live in the area and there are tons of restaurants around there. Mi Luna is really good too if you are into Tapas style restaurants.

    nice list. I agree.

    You can add Black Walnut isn't bad

    Antica Osteria is good for Italian, as is Prego.

    Vietopia is pretty good for a bun bowl

    GREAT suggestions, everyone. Keep those suggestions coming, please. :eek: I am interested, as well.

    Business or pleasure, GRENDEL? ;)

    macalu, I know you don't use caps... so... I'll still ask: you capitalize Kirby but why not Mexican?!?!? What did we do to you?!?!? :p

    The Pot Roast and Garlic Potatoes at the Black Walnut Cafe is outstanding.
