Good places to go/eat in the heights?

katz's deli, but don't think that would work.

Farragos on bagby is pretty nice i heard.

 

There is a Colina's on 19th.

Also a new place called Vientnam (or something like that)

For Mexican there is Spanish Flowers on Main or Tony's Mexican on Ella (just outside of the Heights)

Also King Biscuit has food and drinks.

Go to

and do a search for 77008 for a list of all the places in the area.

 

We hit Collina's last night. Good joint.

 

Also a new place called Vientnam (or something like that)

I ate there on Saturday. Really very good.

 

Java Java is great breakfast food and I love it for lunch as well.

Colina's is very good Italian.

Crickets Creamery & Cafe on 19th is supposedly excellent coffee, ice cream and sandwiches.

Onion Creek on White Oak is a good all-around breakfast/lunch/dinner place.

Shade on 19th is supposedly excellent. It has received very good reviews. It appears to be upscale cuisine with an emphasis on seafood.

11th Street Cafe used to have unreal pizzas, but they changed themselves around a bit. Supposedly still decent food overall.

DaCapos on 11th has tremendous pastries and breakfast sandwiches.

Spanish Flower is supposedly one of the best Mexican food places around for authentic stuff. I have lots of friends who go there all the time.

Never been to King Biscuit but heard good things about it. There is also a Mexican place on 11th just east of Studewood that I cannot remember the name, but it has been there a long time and is supposed to be very good.

If you want quick and cheap, there is Luby's on Shepherd in the center with Kroger. There is also a big Chinese buffet place in there called Golden Island or somethiing like that. I've been told it is really good by several people.

Lastly, there are several places just across I10 from the Heights - Hicory Hollow barbeque on Heights, Cadillac Bar on Shepherd, Mission Burritos on Durham, that steakhouse (Hofbrau?) on Shepherd and Jax Grille (seafood and burgers) on Shepherd. I also like Spaghetti Western on Shepherd quite a bit. Those are close enough to mention.

 

Thank you thank you thank you.

Believe it or not, I really haven't explored the wonderful restaurants Houston has to offer in the year since I've lived here. However, we're changing that now. You just gave us suggestions for a while!

 

CHATTERS! The old owner of Hungry's in the Village. I think the address is 412 Heights. The old Star Pizza and very close to The Social.

 

... and nobody mentioned Hickory Hollow?

This Colina's is less than a half a mile from my house. Let me know next time you are in the hood and I'll buy you a drink.

 

Haven't been there in a while. Not really much of a date place but the food is good.

 

it aint advertising, its directions.

Is there a billboard for hickory hollow for the heights location like that?

 

Actually, I did in my post.

 

Shade rocks. Great date place, but higher than the price range you mentioned Fatty. In that price range, I would go with Onion Creek. Like Jeff said, all around burger/salad place with a big beer selection.

Oh, one other thing....take it from a soul brother who knows the truth.....Katz's Deli Suuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkksssss!!!!

 

What's a good alternative for deli style sammiches? Kenny & Ziggy's?

 

Kenny & Ziggy's, followed by Kahns in the Village. K&Z's is the best deli in the city of Houston, hands down. It just isn't open 24 hours, that's all.

Katz's is a joke. The food sux, and the service, especially after the bars close, is horrific.
