Soon I will be visiting the united states (more specific Houston, TX) and I want you to suggest the best joints and minor franchises that I must try at least once.
I already got told that I need to try the pic related places, the same person also told me to avoid at all costs five guys because it's too expensive and is just worthy.
I'd love to see your responses, best regards my dudes.
Please do not waste your limited time and money on chains while visiting our country. I'm sure some local TX-fag will chime on the places near to your location that worth your patronage. (If you have to visit any of them, go to Wafflehouse and order waffles and hashbrowns)
Jordan Hughes
I mean, yeah some of the chains aren't half bad. But the only truly unique thing that the States have that you can't really get anywhere else is southern barbeque. Don't visit a country to eat at fuckin chains, man. You can get/make a waffle anywhere.
Parker Perry
Steer clear of Mexican restruaunts you'll be okay OP
Gavin Miller
Just stay in your own stupid country.
Anthony Robinson
Mexican restaurants are actually really good if you go to a decent one. And it's pretty easy to figure out just by looking which ones are decent.
Luke Roberts
if you're staying at a hotel worth a damn, ask the concierge at the hotel for local spots
Dominic Jones
>Long John Silver's Kind of a meme >Whataburger Actual meme >Waffle House Whoever told you to go here is actually trying to get you killed. These places have a reputation of being at best places where drunk college kids go at 2 am, and at worst gangbangers and ex-cons eat and work there.
Also, why Houston?
Michael Parker
>Waffle House is bad As a man in the state with the most waffle houses, my view point may be skewed, but everyone goes to Waffle House, at any time of the day
Jackson Diaz
>long john silvers >not Captain D's Inferior Fish restaurant for miles. I'm not sure if Houston has all of these, but if they do, they are must tries: Cook Out Chic-fil-a Golden Corral to people watch Cracker Barrel for old timey American things What sort of food do you like OP?
Brody Baker
Whattaburger, just to say you got to try it. Maybe Denny's for a mediocre diner experience.
Eli Brown
waffle house has a really bad rap
yes I live in atlanta and I've seen all the world star videos of hoodrats bitchslapping each other, but I personally have not had any bad experiences with WH in the many years I've been there.
Nicholas Baker
At Waffle House, get a patty melt plate. It should come with onions but ask just to make sure. Get the hash browns smothered and a coke to drink. Do not use the mayo packets they provide. Just put ketchup on the hashbrowns and dip your patty melt in the ketchup as well.
My other recommendation would be to find a shithole bbq joint, preferably run by blacks and only open a few days a week
Zachary Williams
Sure, but we want less money going to the brownies, not more.
Chase Jenkins
Just make sure to avoid ihop
Andrew Turner
If he's in New Mexico he's fine If he's literally anywhere else you're right
Cooper Rogers
Skip Houston and drive down further south for some BBQ. Texas BBQ dives are world famous. Someone somewhere is smoking something right now with love and care that not even our children will ever know.
Luke Anderson
I live in Houston my dude. Try out 'Kelley's', large portions of quality southern grub, great tendies. Whataburger if you haven't tried that too I suppose...
Leo Taylor
Anthony Bordain did a piece on The Waffle House when he tried it for the first time. I guess if even he liked it then it must be good.
Texas pales in comparison to NC in anything not Tex-Mex or Briskets
Alexander Phillips
Dear OP, If you have a chance to try Rudy's BBQ, then do try it. Get the brisket and the creamed corn. In fact, get as much food as you can buy and take it back to your hotel. You can't possibly regret it, because their food is really, really good.
Jason Smith
>NC sauce >not SC sauce You are so sadly mistaken that I have indigestion on your behalf. SC BBQ is the best sauce money can buy, and is also considerably better than most sauces money can't buy.
Kayden Murphy
Sometimes I forget SC is a state because the only thing I think about when someone mentions SC to me is bad tattoo jobs on beach trips and junkies. One day I'll taste your sauce.
Logan Fisher
LJS and Waffle House are pretty good. You might want to hit up some American-Chinese food restaurants as well.
Noah Torres
avoid Applebee's, Chile's, Denny's, and iHop
Thomas Anderson
>TX bbq sauce We use spice rubs, we cook our meats well so we don't have to drown them in sugar syrup.
Luke Thomas
Bayou and bottle (4 seasons)- whiskey joint that serves great food Better luck tomorrow- bar with awesome food Bosscat kitchen- red velvet churos are awesome, another whisky joint with super food Field and tide- rustic chic, plenty of meat options Helen in the heights- Greek, gulf calamari is good Kitchen 713 - southern food, very popular Krisp bird + batter- chicken joint, the Korean fried chicken with kimchi, cane syrup and chili paste is tasty af One fifth steak- Texas raised meats of all sorts, great raw bar with stuff from the gulf Osso + kristal- modern Italian, yummy Ramen tatsu- ya is from Austin, tasty and creative Riel- weird Ukrainian chef that has borscht and pierogi along with BBQ Rim tanon- good Thai Star fish- fresh gulf seafood, the fresh seafood tower is something to see Tacodeli- tacos of all sorts Xochi- if you want real Mexican, this is it. Very good. Yauatcha- dim sum joint that is Michelin ranked
Cooper Lopez
Imagine how fucking dumb you have to be to visit a foreign country and you only want to try out all their fast food.
Joshua Harris
The South has some of the best homemade good ever so like make sure you visit mom and pop shops for all your meals.
Ayden Sanders
Nooooooooooooooooooo get a pecan waffle OP. Waffle House is awesome.
Nowadays, I'd suggest Captain D's. Popeye's Chicken is pretty decent (get the red beans and rice), and Bojangles Chicken has good biscuits.
But OP, you should try some of the high end places. I'd also recommend lunch at Fogo de Chao (and get the salad bar, that's the best part of the place).
Nathan Diaz
Been too long since I've lived in Texas, but I recall that there should be region-specific chains (such as Tex-Mex) you could visit instead of the national chains. The man, the myth, the legend, the meme Guy Fieri has visited several restaurants in Houston if you're up for visiting any of them. >flavortownusa.com/cities/texas/houston
Justin Lewis
Five guys is worth trying once. It's a bit pricey but still pretty solid imo. Get a little burger instead of a regular - it'll be a single patty instead of two, which is always plenty of food for me. The cajun fries are excellent.
Logan Diaz
>Houston Unless you want to see ghetto niggers everywhere avoid downtown. Go south a little bit and hit up the bay area/galveston. If you see a TexMex place with lots of cars during the dinner rush chances are it's good. And we have tons of them, get some Fajitas.
Brandon Moore
Seconded, if you like big portions of Greasy comfort food go to Kelley's. Imagine cracker barrel but actually good
Thomas Bailey
Don't bother with Long John Silver's.
The other two are good.
I live in Houston. It's a huge city. You'd need to tell us what area you're going to be in.
Julian Powell
I'd rather go to Smashburger for the price of Five Guys.
