Top Best American Restaurants in Cypress

"So popular with romantics that it’s booked-up for Valentine’s a full year in advance, the ambience of this 100 year-old log cabin is beautifully relaxed and classy, and the food is utterly fantastic. The staff at The Rainbow Lodge also know when to give you time to yourselves, which is probably why hundreds of couples have fallen in love here and many have then married at the same location."

"Rainbow Lodge is cozy and wooded on the inside, with three beautiful fireplaces to add to its already romantic ambiance. It also offers dreamy views of the nearby creek and citrus grove. They offer exquisite exotic game dishes alongside favorites such as pan seared red snapper on lobster and yellow tomato risotto."

"Massive glass paneled walls and tasteful twinkle lights make The Grove a fantastic restaurant for any time of the day. Directly next to Discovery Green Park, diners have a great view of the park while munching on golden steak frites, honey butter biscuits, and delicious shrimp and grits."

"Does that lingering over artisanal cheese and sangria while nestled among Live Oaks in Downtown’s magnum opus, the nearly 12-acre urban park Discovery Green, sound like a nice Saturday?"

"The path from farm to table is a short one at this attractive Heights eatery, which accepts walk-ins only and produces bountiful ingredients from its own onsite garden for dishes like smoked pork with smoked gouda and delicate pillows of ricotta gnocchi dusted with Parmesan and garnished with backyard greens. There’s an inevitable wait any night of the week, but the no-reservation policy isn’t so bad when the herb garden doubles as a lush and serene waiting area. Grab a glass of vino or a Fancy G&T crafted with herbs and lemon oil, and stroll the grounds for a look at bounty of the season."

"Morgan Weber and chef Ryan Pera’s handsome Heights eatery is perfect for both dates and groups. Outdoor tables sit practically in picking distance from the raised-bed gardens, where the restaurant grows most of its herbs and some of its salad ingredients. Appetizers include cauliflower, with pine nuts and raisins, and crackers, with smoked trout dip and pickled mustard seeds."

"Colitvare chefs handpick the ingredients for customers’ meals straight from the 3,000 square foot garden located on the property. At Colitvare, not only can you enjoy great food, but you can sit and enjoy the views of where they pick the ingredients for your meal."

"This laidback landmark—part grandma’s kitchen, part kooky country store—is known for its juicy burgers, but the breakfast here is a heavy hitter, too. We like to get three perfectly cooked sunny-side-up eggs with a buttery biscuit to soak up all that yolk, plus a side of creamy, salty grits and lots of crispy bacon, then let the country breeze take us away.When to get it: Morning (except Sunday)"

"Lankford Grocery & Market opened as a grocery store in Houston’s historic fourth ward by Nona and Aubrey Lankford.

"Phoenicia is an ethnic grocery that specializes in (but is not limited to) Mediterranean foods. Their bakery serves up pastries like almond croissants and chocolate tortes comparable to that of a French patisserie; but the true star of their bakery is their giant array of baklava. You can get specialty baklava that are chocolate or cream-filled, but nothing compares to the pistachio-filled, sticky-sweet original."

"2517 Airline Drive; 2421 South Wayside Drive; 917 Southmore Avenue. The joys of this cozy tres leches haven are known from Houston to Pasadena. This bakeshop may indeed be a chain, but it’s still one of the most down-home, authentic Mexican bakeries you’ll find out there."

"Each weekend from March through October, the Miller Outdoor Theatre hosts delightful, free performances, including live music reflecting cultures around the globe, children's plays, famous musicals, Shakespearean dramas and presentations by the Houston Symphony.

"A Houston legend, the Beer Can House is exactly what you think it is – a house made of empty, flattened beer cans. A classic Texan explanation, its creator, John Milkovisch, stated, “Some people say this is sculpture but I didn’t go to no expensive school to get these crazy notions.” A true monument to recycling, this house is made up of an estimated 50,000 cans. What’s his favorite beer, you may ask?"

"It's a house that's been covered with beer cans, beer bottles, and bottle caps and turned into one of the city’s best-known pieces of art.

The house is owned and operated by The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art, a non-profit aimed at preserving works of extraordinary imagination."

If you are into murals and street art, then Downtown Houston area has an amazing spot where you can take multiple photos with murals all in one spot!. The Houston Graffiti Building has been a hot spot for photoshoots for many years, and I personally discover new and upcoming artists when I visit."

"A post shared by Visit Houston (@visit_houston) on Nov 13, 2018 at 5:50pm PST. If you've never shot in front of a graffiti wall, then this is your chance to add a touch of spunk onto your feed. The word ‘graffiti’ is practically synonymous with ‘Insta-worthy’ at this point."

"On the opposite end of the sophistication spectrum are the graffiti walls in Eado. The walls are colorful and vibrant and offer so much variety for a fun and carefree engagement session. This is one of the locations of the famousHouston mural seen below."
