    Captain Tom's. $6.00 for dz. oysters. This place reminded me of Acme Oysters in New Orleans. If you love oysters this is the place to go in Houston.

    Hmm. I did email you.

    As to where you were asking, I suggested Sam's Boat or Ragin Cajun. I would've said Magnolia, but they closed. I haven't eaten around the Galleria for a while, though.

    I have heard that from multiple people. My wife and I were in Bosnia last summer, and fell in love with the food. There is a good place in NYC we found, in the theater district, and since we may be moving back to Houston some day not too far in the future, I was hoping Cafe Pita would be all that....

    Beef Burek with yogurt on top is one of the world's greatest comfort foods.

    Hobo's Sandwich shop on I-10 and Uvalde is by far the best sandwich shop in Houston!

    Really? What did you have? I've yet to have a bad dish over there. I love the food, but its definitely not something you can eat more then once in a while and I've never been to another Bosnian place to compare it to.

    Just had 2 tacos and a "kayser-diller" (quesadilla) at "El Taconazo." :eek:

    AWESOME SAUCE (and the tacos were good, too). :p

    This is false. I'll give bad reviews when needed, but the fried chicken at BBQ Inn is legit. A little pricey, but damn good.

    Don't get the CFS, though.

    We got a "sampler" platter so we could try a little of everything. There was just nothing really interesting about the food.
