Southern restaurant (US) · Greater Heights

"Ford Fry’s low-lit, romantic restaurant is a delicious ode to Texas cuisine. The creative — sometimes cheeky — menu boasts dishes like deviled eggs topped with popcorn shrimp and wood-roasted Gulf oysters, plus,  half or whole-fried chicken that is among Houston’s best. Mezcal enthusiasts will appreciate the diverse selection of the smoky spirit, while frozen margaritas, beer, wine, and a thoughtfully curated cocktail menu round out the drink menu." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley
