North or South side? on the North Side there is a Bennigans, Taco Bell and the Greenspoint Mall not too far away.
Mexico Lindo is the best Mexican food I've ever had. Its on the feeter of 45. There is a kick ass Indian place call Taj Mahal, but that is actually about 7-8 miles farther down on 45N. All this providing you talking about Clear Lake of course.
Brother's Pizza in Greenspoint Mall Rocks! Pappa's seafood is good, not exactly healthy, but good! All they have over there is chains like Joe's Crab Shack, Pappasitos etc.
Just go up I45. Isn't there Huey's, Pappasito's, Joe's Crabshack, & Atchafalaya? South of beltway 8 is Pappa's Seafood. Isn't there a Fuddruckers over there, too?
