Well growing up and not having too much money we never got to go to those places. Our only outing was once a month (maybe)to Felix Mexican restaraunt on Westheimer. Waiter Lupe (I think) never wrote anything down just remembered the orders. That amazed me

Years ago i remember one that was on Old Spanish Trail. But i can not think of the name. It is a mans name. And there was a small steak house over on Telephone Rd / close to Wayside. in front of the old Josephines trailer park. Any other southeast siders that may remember! I will be thinking all night now.

I LOVED Felix's beef enchiladas smothered in cheese and the tamales in chile gravy. We went mostly to the one on Kirby...closed in the 80's. they are such simple dishes but nobody can duplicate now.

Not sure if it is the same but there was a place a little further down Telephone called the Hickory Stick that had some pretty good grub. The owner bought a new 33' Trojan in late 60s. Me and my buds (and budesses) helped him break it in startin out from Jimmie Walkers pier.

Remember the Ritz but never ate there. Went to Sonny Look's Sir Loin House a few times after going on a couple of trail rides with Mr. Look. I always felt sorry for his horse.

A good friend of mine had to ride the horse. I kinda felt sorry for him. Now he is part of Houston's History and he braggs about it.

My Mom waited tables there, and my Aunt was the manager back in the mid 60's. I can remember Mom having a good night of tips there and it would be off to the grocery store the next day. I still tip well to this day because I know what a good tip meant to us back then.

I had a few chopped steaks there back then. Didnt have the means to be a real big tipper, but did what I could. i hope that I contributed a little to you being the big bruiser that you became. I still tip OK for the same reasons.

I liked the Rail Head.

The best stake house that I ever ate at was the Victorian Station on south main. Was several railroad cars.

In the early '60's the "original" Goodson's was our regular Sunday dinner after morning church services, esp if we had the Preacher as guest! The Church of Christ's always let out 30 min early so we could beat the Baptists to the Picadilly and Furr's cafaterias! ...those were the days! LOL

Back in the 80 somethings my favorite was the Continental Steak House on S Shaver in Pasadena just north of Spencer Hwy...it was my grandpas place, I loved going there. Now its the Lone Star Club. My dad was a cook and now I cook the steaks at my place; 3rd generation and prob just as good.....well close!

The Night Hawk Steakhouse in Austin. Anyone remember it?

The Night Hawk was my Mom's favorite place to eat in Austin and we ate there a lot lol.

I liked Bill Williams in Richmond and I think that there was one in Houston but I can't remember for sure.

The Bull & Anchor in Westbury Square had great choice cuts of steak...Steak Janice was my favorite there.

My family was more of the Texas Tumbleweed/Bonanza/Western Stockade/Sizzler level of dining. My brother played on a baseball team sponsored by Ducho's Steakhouse. That's about as close as we got to fancy eats.

I've got meat pics somewhere, but here's what we were greeted with when trying to continue our 15yr old spring tradition of blue bonnets and steaks.

Sommerville Steak House...Ain't der no more.

We've wrassled with lots of their 3lb steaks over the nearly 20years we went there.

I am saddened by this. Ate some great steaks there through the years.

Remember the Knight in Armor riding that white Horse at Sonny Look's Sirloin Inn. The Chateau Briand for two was great and their flavored butter was out of this world. In those days Sonny Look would come around to talk to you at your table.

 

[scwine]

For a little tidbit of info....I never heard of Sonny Look's, but the chandeliers from there now hang at the Mockingbird Bistro and Cafe Bar.

The Stables on Main. They also had a location on Westheimer. Also the Strawberry Patch on Westheimer had awesome steaks which is now Pappas Steakhouse. Also the prime rib at Houston's is unbeatable.

Hebert's Ritz

Enjoying the thread about best steak houses in Houston..but there are so many now it would be hard to pick just one...

'Back in the Day' there was only one that was acknowledged as the BEST in Houston.. Anyone remember Hebert's Ritz...on McGowen and San Jacinto?... Absolutely the BEST I've ever had then or now... It shut down back in the 80s when the bottom dropped out of Houston one more time. LOL

Stumbled across this old menu from there. Might interest some on here...

Read it and weep !!

The Ritz served the best steaks known to man and the butter sauce was sublime. Best of memories- it was late and we were full one night when our waitress appoached us stating "The bear is out !" Tranlated for us it meant the big lit bear sign on the corner had just been turned off.
