"I describe Houston’s as a Texas-based chain often cited for reliably good service and food quality — praised by Dickens as a model he admires — but its reputation is mixed after a 2017 boycott over alleged mistreatment of a Black actress and the subsequent closure of its Lenox Road location less than six months later, a history that has led some Black diners to refuse to return despite the chain's consistency." - Mike Jordan
