    what are some restaurants that you thoroughly enjoy? hometown or not...

    houston:
    cyclone anayas on woodway and augusta - the juanita superior plate is fantastic
    erawan - damn good thai place on san felipe and sage
    buffalo grille - i go just for the jalapeno cheeseburger and batter-dipped fries
    houstons - great ribs and whoever recommended the off the menu chicken strips is a damn genius... oh yeah, best damn honey mustard i've ever had
    kirans - really good indian place on westheimer... more like indian fusion. owner/chef is a wonderful lady to boot.

    austin:
    ranch 616 - love this place on 7th and neuces... great texas food, cool atmosphere, awesome margaritas
    la traviata on congress between 2nd and 3rd - italian place with the best spaghetti bolognese i've ever had, made with a beef, pork, and veal ragu
    south congress cafe - trendy place with exceptional food, a little pricey though.

    louisianna:
    the boiling point in sulphur, la - crawfish pistolettes and shrimp balls.... sweet jesus
    mothers in new orleans - po boys and the best bread pudding i've ever had in my life.
    igors - for the best 4am bloody mary in the world.

    Nothing beats Americas and Marks. My two favorite restaurants in Houston.

    Fogo, Brenners and Perrys are awesome.

    I loved Red Square and Prime when I went to Vegas.

    I went to a place called Noe, inside Omni Hotel tonight, and the food was amazing.

    Great ambience, excellent food.

    Don't expect to get full, but be prepared for a flavor explosion.

    I agree with Marks and Americas.

    I will also add Perry's Grill (pork chops).

    YES...This is an excellent Thai place...I strongly recommend it. I just walked in one day with a friend after shopping next door, and it's actually my favorite Thai place now.

    I feel like I have to take a date when I go to Americas.last time I went i was still a young 23,I was so focused on how much the bill was going to come out to,that i didn't get to enjoy the ambiance :(

    My favorite restaurants are the cheesecake factory and Sabor,it's central american cuisine for a good price

    speaking of Thai, anyone ever go to Kanomwan on Telephone Rd by Austin High School. the restaurant is so out of place, but it gets rave reviews, and it's packed during lunch hours.
