Chef Benchawan Jabthong Painter and her husband have rightfully won over the hearts and appetites of the city with fearless, fiery cooking at this aptly named spot that was so popular they outgrew their space (and opened a second location!). Chef brings many of her grandmother's recipes to life while also spotlighting dishes from across Thailand rather than focusing on just one region. Start with the papaya salad, but be warned: This opening act, even at medium spice level, takes no prisoners. There must also be pad see ew, which is a masterclass in charred noodle excellence.

Nancy's Hustle
Contemporary · Bib
$$
There are no wrong choices at this welcoming EaDo hangout that has dazzled the city since opening in 2017. If anything, there are perhaps too many choices. How could one possibly decide between the spicy beef and butter dumplings with sauerkraut and the fluffy Nancy cakes with smoked trout roe? Should chilled carrots with buttermilk ricotta be your entrée or is it finally time to take down the cheeseburger stacked on a housemade English muffin? But then there’s the grilled wagyu tri-tip with beef fat sticky rice. Whatever you decide, expect lively, bold, heart-warming cooking that keeps a clos

Theodore Rex

In the shadow of downtown Houston right off Highway 10 is Justin Yu’s wedge of a restaurant. There’s little else in the area, but the red stop sign at the intersection is, poignantly enough, also at the front door. Counter seating is practically shoulder to shoulder, but it is a prime perch for taking in all that this welcoming restaurant has to offer. The cuisine is hard to pin down but know that everything looks simpler than it really is and is seasoned far better than you could have imagined. It's also all intended for sharing. Highlights include fried bread with tomato fondant and Gulf red

Papalo Taqueria
Mexican · Bib
$$
Hiding in a food hall in the heart of downtown Houston, this unassuming, counter-service taqueria means business. Chef-owners Stephanie Velasquez and Nicolas Vera work wonders with the little space they have and offer some of the city’s most gratifying tacos. Tortillas are made on-site and griddled all day long. Chicharrón with pumpkin seed vinaigrette is an absolute stunner. Pork shoulder braised in tomatillo salsa is as hearty as the veggie-forward confit carrot dressed in a nutty pepita salsa.

J-Bar-M Barbecue

The old adage that everything is bigger in Texas holds true at J-Bar-M Barbecue. From the four custom-built smokers to the large dining space (indoors and out) to the broad menu, there's a lot happening at this barbecue joint in Houston's East End. The menu is divided by Tex-Mex-inspired specials (think brisket tacos and quesadillas), a classic Texas BBQ lineup (meat plates, sandwiches and meats by the pound), and an all-day menu with creative comfort food like brisket lasagna and loaded baked potatoes, plus impressive grazing boards for groups. In other words, come hungry to feast on brisket

ChòpnBlọk
African · Bib
$$
Growing up in Houston as the child of Nigerian immigrants, Chef/owner Ope Amosu always wanted to showcase Nigerian and West African cuisine. Enter ChòpnBlọk, a small stand inside of The Post. It's casual but stylish, showcasing traditional African decor complemented by books and vinyls.Jollof rice, coconut curry and rice bowls steal the spotlight, and whether it's rice with peanut stew, jollof jambalaya or rice with stewed plantains, West African flavors are at the forefront. The golden bowl is a delicious blend of smoky jollof jambalaya, motherland curry, yaji vegetables and stewed plantains

Josephine's
Seafood, Southern
$$
It's located in Houston's Midtown, but this restaurant run by Chef Lucas is all about the Gulf Coast. Booths and tables welcome everyone from families and couples on dates to solo diners at this laidback spot. The menu leans into Southern comfort with a seafood-forward approach—think raw oysters, po’boys, shrimp and grits, plus some fun nods like fried chicken on a stick and a Mississippi hot catfish sandwich. Biscuits served with seasonal jam and whipped butter are a must. Daily catch rotates but a recent redfish served over a bed of creamy corn hit the spot, as does the blue crab rice bowl w

Bludorn
American, Contemporary
$$$
Chef Aaron Bludorn and his wife Victoria are the minds behind this buzzy dining room fitted with cushy, royal blue booths, handsome wood chairs, and a gleaming open kitchen. There is something for everyone on this broad menu that pulls inspiration from all corners, swinging from seafood towers to cioppino with branzino, blue crab, and shrimp. Order the oysters, including some from Texas, and grab a counter seat to watch them being cooked. Bludorn follows the seasons closely, and his servers follow their guests even closer. Dinner must close with a sizeable baked Alaska, made with a range of so
