Houston’s Classic Restaurants

"We Houstonians have come to rely on Pappas Bros. as the classic steakhouse to live out a fantasy of choosing expensive dry-aged meat straight from the display case. For nearly 30 years, the Galleria-area restaurant has served the best steak in town, bar none. (There’s also a Downtown location if you’re craving an after-work ribeye.) Pappas Bros.' dining room is pleasantly dim, the wine list is as long as a Homeric epic, and the staff is diligent. Don't say we didn't warn you when you agree to everything on the dessert cart just to keep the experience alive a little longer." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
