What are you looking for?   There are a ton of good steak houses, or you can just go to Torchy's for some good tacos.  

Just looking for a suggestion list of all kinds, but probably nothing expensive..  Our fans are usually the best sources of such things.

If you have time and are looking for some of the very best Italian food in Houston, go to Frenchy's off of NASA I.  It's out of the way, it's a little pricey to pricey, but well worth the trip and the money.  Home restaurant to many of our Nation's Astronauts (pictures a plenty).  The owner is Italian (my people!).  You will probably need reservations so call now.

If you're talking about Torchy's Tacos, you can enjoy that in Dallas without having to use a Houston trip to eat there (maybe even Fort Worth?) Just FYI. Great place though and I highly recommend it.

also check out Kraut's for good sushi...Aussie Steve's for traditional Ethiopean cuisine...and it's a bit pricy, but if you're looking for experimental French cooking, I recommend the Guinea Pig

*cracks knuckles*

Oishii for Sushi/Japanese

BB’s for cheap Cajun

Bubba’s Burger Shack for Hamburgers

Teotihuican for Tex-Mex

Barnaby’s or Hobbit Cafe for American

Les Givral for Vietnamese.

Tacos depends on how adventurous you want to get as far as neighborhood. If you’re feeling adventurous stop at Taconazo. If not, stop at Tacos A Go-Go. Don’t go to Torchy’s. There are hundreds of amazing authentic taco joints.

If you want bars I can name even more.

All of these spots are within 10-15 minutes of Rice. I used to live in Montrose and worked in the industry.

Try Ibiza. My uncle is the owner/chef there and they have some excellent food. The octopus is outstanding.

EDIT: I just read where you said "probably nothing expensive." He has a less expensive restaurant with some great southern food too (also, it's only a 9-minute, 0.5 mile walk from Rice Stadium):

This is a tough question because if Houston is anything, its an incredible food city.  I will hold off on making a list without knowing any prerequisites.  With that said the game is a short walk away from Rice Village which has every kind of restaurant and bar you could want.  So if you want to keep it simple spend your post game there and you will take driving out of the equation. (we are also famous for traffic)

love Ibiza but don't go nearly enough.

 

I live fairly close to Punks so we go there quite often.  I have a love-hate relationship with the place.  Outside of the fried chicken I think the food is pretty poor.  But, the fried chicken is terrific and they have a great outdoor area to let the kids run around while you relax and have a beer or glass of wine.

Ginger man sounds fun.  We usually hit Buffalo Wild Wings for more beer cheese curds and football.  There will be a lot of games left!  (I think that buffalo is in rice village)

Goode Company BBQ is just up Kirby, if you're in the mood for it.

House of Pies - good idea

Gingerman - yes, for a post-game beer

Not so unique anymore, but Freebirds is also nearby

Ragin Cajun, on Richmond, is on the way back to the Galleria area.  They actually have some ULL memorabilia there, but more LSU (go figure).

H-Towners, Sonny Looks Sirloin still open?  

Make the short drive  to Galveston & eat at Guidos off the sea wall near Stewart Beach--I know it's still in business.

Is Bill Bennetts still open  or am I really showing some extra crow's feet by asking?🤔🙄(We'd go there after some UH Coog games in the Astrodome but that's been awhile back, of course). Used to be a BB's in Rosenberg where our HS football team ate many post/game meals for out of town games. 

GMG!

To each his own. I love everything I've eaten at both Punk's and Ibiza, but I'm biased so I'll admit my opinion isn't 100% objective.

We went to Punks Saturday after the game.

      Back to the Frisco Bowl Again🤮🤮

      We just fired a coach, really big improvement...

      Is Chandler Morris healthy?

      Have we thought that maybe he is just not that good against average to above average teams? Threw a pick to end our chances against Memphis. Threw two picks that cost us the Army game. And threw two picks that cost us the UTSA game. There is a reason it didn't work out for him at okla and TCU. Hopefully we can beat the two inferior teams we have left on our schedule.

      I know the second half of this year has been really disappointing but dang- we shouldn’t hope for losing to avoid a bowel game. Before the start of the season everyone would’ve been happy with more W’s. It shows improvement. It shows we’re building something and gives the coaches evidence for when they talk to recruits. Win out and win whatever bowl game, 8-5 might convince some transfers/recruits that could really help turn this team into something next year.

      Dude isn’t going to have an arm after this season. I swear I’ve seen him come off the field like 3 separate times holding it like it’s broken.

      Pretty much what the two comments above are saying: It’s a strong possibility that he’s got a case of hero ball. “I need to play amazing for us to win” mentality. Mistakes avalanche and instead of relaxing, you tighten up and are harder on yourself. Obviously that’s total conjecture based on my personal experience in sports. We all know he’s great and wants to win. Could totally be a nagging injury too, who knows. Hope he sticks around for another season with an experienced OL and a more consistent D. That’d be a treat to watch.
