STICKY’S CHICKEN
$ Food Trucks, Chicken Wings
713.703.5230 | www.getstickys.com
Man-oh-man, this place is the bomb. If you are in Houston, you have to
give this place a shot. Located in Montrose most of the week, their food
is made from sweet love. I’d recommend the egg on top and rice or
sticks with extra sauce because it’s so awesome. The ppl are the nicest
I’ve ever met and I didn’t even tip. I’ll tip for sure next time just to
make it up. Will go again. Place is one of the best food trucks for sure!

BOWL CAFÉ
$ Sandwiches, Vegetarian, Salads | 607 Richmond Ave.
832.582.7218 | www.eatatbowl.com
I love this place! I have been here quite a few times, and I always
order the same thing: a half pot roast sandwich with a salad. The mixed
greens are always fresh, and it’s nice that you can pick all of your toppings. The salads are customized to be however you want them. All
sandwiches come with tasty homemade chips. Today, I went in to order
my usual. The owner informed me that he was out of pot roast. I was
a little disappointed, but he suggested that I try the pulled pork. I’m
glad I did because it was just as amazing as the pot roast. I will definitely be back, and I highly recommend this restaurant!

CARNICERIA AGUASCALIENTES
$ Mexican | 2809 Broadway St. | 713.641.4300
Gorditas de carne asada are the bomb.com – this is a place to come
eat some fresh, fast and real Mexican food. I’m usually here about
once or twice a week for the gorditas and tacos de trompo. If you
want to add some spiciness, add some of their red salsa, but be careful once you do it ’cause it will make you cry.

CONSERVATORY
$$ Food Court, Gastropub, Beer Garden | 1010 Prairie St.
713.398.7697 | www.conservatoryhtx.com
I’m a huge fan! Think food court/cafeteria meets underground bar
meets garden. There aren’t too many places where you can dine (on
something other than bar food) AND drink (with more than 5 beer
selections). The atmosphere is truly unique. Surrounded by plants, it
feels like you’re outside without actually being outside – a smart decision, being located in Houston. Great beer selection with 50+ beers on
tap, mostly local brews, and food options for all! None of the food
places deserve 5 stars individually, but having so many choices is definitely a plus. It’s open late on weekends, so there’s now something
other than mediocre pizza for your late night munchies.

FADI’S MEDITERRANEAN GRILL
$ Mediterranean | 8383 Westheimer Rd. | 713.532.0666
www.fadiscuisine.com
Has to be one of THE BEST Mediterranean restaurants in Houston. I
usually get their vegetarian sampler – huge array of choices (which is
rare for a Middle Eastern food joint, so this place is delightful) in dips,
sides and salads. Their falafel and baklava are to die for! That aside, I
love their hummus, tabouleh and warm pita bread! One & Only place
to satiate my Mediterranean food cravings!

CRISP HEIGHTS
$$ Italian, Wine Bars | 2220 Bevis St. | 713.360.0222
www.crisphouston.com
This is my second time at Crisp’s and I’m definitely coming back! Last
time I got the waffle chicken sandwich and truffle fries, and both were
delicious. Today I got the Donut Burger and must say, Crisp’s chef had
done a great job with the burger design as well as taste. You gotta love
the combo of Angus beef, egg and bacon inside a doughnut! For
dessert, I got their “Death by Brownie.” Nothing specta, but tasted
pretty good!

EL GRECO GREEK RESTAURANT
$ Greek | 5420 Lawndale St. | 832.582.7918
www.elgrecollc.com
This place puts Niko Niko’s to shame! It’s reasonably priced and
absolutely delicious! The meat is tender and piping hot and the
lemon butter potatoes are great! This is my new go-to Greek restaurant. New owner and better food from what I’ve heard. Check it out!
