Houston started as an oil town and has blossomed into one of the most diverse cities in America. Inside the Interstate 610 beltway, known as The Loop, you’ll find unique neighborhoods showcasing the vibrant culinary culture that has developed. The only difficulty is deciding where to eat in Houston—but we’ve got you covered!
Late Night at BB’s Cafe ($6) Nothing beats a late-night craving in the Bayou City better than a cup of Maw Maw’s Grillades and Grits from BB’s Cafe in Montrose. You may think you’ve stepped inside a New Orleans po’boy shop, but BB’s serves its Cajun cuisine with a Tex-Mex twist. Montrose is the most eccentric of all Houston neighborhoods, flush with art galleries (including the famous Rothko Chapel), offbeat bars and music dives, so find a table near the window and catch the show.
How to Eat in Houston for Less Than $50 a Day You can treat yourself to the city’s culinary staples and still fill your belly on a budget of $50 a day. Here’s how.
Breakfast at the Kolache Shoppe ($2.95) Since 1970, the Kolache Shoppe has been serving authentic Czech kolaches—soft, doughy filled pastries packed with sweet fruit and cheese. Enjoy a Texas touch by getting a kolache filled with savory meat. Start your day with a sausage, egg, jalapeno and cheese kolache—just like the locals do.
