Houston - Restaurants

Most restaurants in Houston, especially the chain ones, are child friendly. Many have take-out facilities, so please call and ask. Most use the walk-in system, but for some more popular restaurants it may be a good idea to phone to book a table for that special occasion.

Houston has thousands of restaurants, after shopping is the official past time and some families eat more often out than at home, therefore the selection for variety and price is vast. The list of restaurants below have been chosen by the expatriate for different reasons, but the common one is that the quality is good. We hope you agree!
