A Traveling Foodie’s Review
Come along on my adventures from where I eat to where I travel to. Don’t be afraid to try new places it’s a big world out there! Send me your suggestions on where I should visit.
Double Horn Brewing Company
While up at Lake Travis we ventured over to the near by town of Marble Falls, Texas to have lunch at Double Horn Brewing Company. Everyone started out with a sampler of their beer $6.95. I recommend getting one of these to try out everything they have on tap before...
Smashburger
We recently had a new Smashburger open up near our house and I’ve always heard good things about this place so I had to give them a try. Be sure to search online for coupons because I keep seeing ones for buy one get one free or % off. If you sign up for their email...
Cheesecake Factory
One of my favorite places is the Cheesecake Factory. I enjoy their large menu of options and for the price you get a good amount of food, and of course there’s the cheesecake! While we looked over the menu they bring you 2 mini loaves of bread. Of course the pet peeve...
Texican Cafe
We recently bought one of those half priced groupons for Texican Café which is on the way up to our lake house. D is on the green chili kick since we had our trip to Taos so he was excited to see their menu around green chili month! We started out with the Hatch Queso...
Truluck’s
Surprisingly we have never been to Truluck’s, but they have been around forever. I had made reservations for 6:15pm, but we arrived early to try out their Cocktail Hour from 4:30pm-6:30pm. They have a really great bar menu that’s half off along with 25% off all...
Post Oak Grill
Post Oak Grill is another place we haven’t been in ages. It has that old charm to it that makes you feel like you’re going back in time. We where greeted with an assortment of bread while we looked over the Restaurant Week menu. For the first course I didn’t really...
Masraff’s
We haven’t been to Masraff’s in at least 8 years. It’s one of those places where you have such a great meal you ask yourself why has it been so long since we have been back? I love the feel of their new location, it’s elegant, modern and warm inside. While we looked...
III Forks
iii Forks is located downtown which isn’t a place we get to too often. Since we where headed to a friend’s birthday party down there later that night we decided to take advantage of one of the restaurants on Houston Restaurant Weeks list. The inside was a little dark,...
024 Grille
Trying to take advantage of Houston Restaurant Weeks we like to try as many new restaurants as we can. We met up with some friends at the 024 Grille which is located in the Westin Hotel. They also have a lounge area which is really cool with a huge water wall....
Christies Seafood & Steaks
Christie’s Seafood & Steaks has been around since 1917 and we had never been so what’s a better time to go then Houston Restaurant Week? Walking in I was a little shocked thinking it would have a little fancier then what it was. We weren't dressed up, but we where...
Bistro Alex
(Photo from www.citycentrehouston.com) Bistro Alex has a reputation to live up to before you even walk through the door. As part of the Brennan’s Family Restaurants I had high hopes for this place knowing that the food should be good. The atmosphere when you walk in...
Bacon
While driving through Austin we stopped for lunch at Bacon. We first learned about this place on Destination America where they showcased different places that offered the best bacon dishes. We started out with Hush Piggies $5.95 (Seasoned pulled pork fritters served...
