The 25 Best Restaurants In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"Houston (and Texas in general) is synonymous with beef, and no place epitomizes the final, heavenly form of a hunk of beef better than Pappas Bros. Steakhouse. Every cut gets dry-aged in-house for a minimum of 28 days, seared to form a crispy, salt-flecked crust, and served solo on a hot plate like a sizzling jewel. This is the best steakhouse in town, so expect perfectly butchered petite filets and prehistoric-looking tomahawks carved tableside on one of those fancy carts. Dinner here makes you feel like a wealthy cattle baron, mostly due to the many paintings of longhorns on the prairie, but also the lingering scent of seared beef, servers buttoned up in tuxedo vests, and luxurious dark-wood walls." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
