Pappas Bros. Steakhouse

"Pappas Bros. Steakhouse was surprisingly included among the recognized restaurants during the Michelin Guide Ceremony in Texas." - Brittany Britto Garley

"We read all your Facebook comments and we know y’all love this place. So it’s on the list. That many people cannot be wrong." - Courtney E. Smith

"The downtown location of Pappas Bros. Steakhouse functions and feels almost exactly like the original Galleria restaurant—one of the beautiful things about most Pappas-owned restaurants is they replicate their own concepts pretty flawlessly. The basic draws here are unwavering: in-house 28-day dry-aged steaks, a wine list miles long, top tier service (bonus points if the staff pulls out one of those little stainless steel table crumbers), and a pleasantly dark restaurant. Visit Pappas for a truly excellent steak, and to escape the office or whatever convention-scale group dinner you’re hoping to avoid." - Chelsea Thomas

"This cheesy, decadent dish wasn’t always on the menu, but the Jumbo Lump Crab mac and cheese at Pappas Bros. was such a cult favorite, they went ahead and added it. Giant chunks of crab mingle with multiple varieties of cheese for a completely indulgent side dish." - Rachel Pinn

"The turtle gumbo with aged sherry at Pappas has strong New Orleans roots. This classic soup gets its flavor from green onions, celery, bell peppers, aged sherry, and of course, turtle meat." - Rachel Pinn, Amy McCarthy
