Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Pearland

"This bustling New Orleans restaurant is a scene-setter for sinister nights with its old-school elegance and big time. Start with a selection from their award-winning wine list and then move on to some Creole classics. We recommend sizzling soup to begin with; count on us."

"Situated in a wooded retreat, the lush natural surroundings are almost as good as the surf and turf here. The Blue Bar and mood-lit patio’s perfect for a crisp evening, too, especially with their winter concert series on Sundays and live music every Tuesday. @brennersonthebayouembedded via"

"The lush, natural surroundings of Brenner’s On The Bayou makes it feel incredibly scenic and serene. Perfect for a picturesque date night. On a fine evening, book a table on the patio."

"For a killer steak with a view, look no further than this wooded retreat set on the lush grounds along the Buffalo Bayou. And did we mention it has a happy hour?"

"In the afternoon, head to one of Houston’s local breweries – 8th Wonder and Saint Arnold’s are two of the best around. Hang out in the beer hall or patio and catch up with some friends. If you’re looking for a larger variety of beverages, check out Axelrad, a beer garden in Midtown with hammocks, dog friends, and a local food truck or two. No weekend in Houston is complete without a visit to Rice University, so after having your fill, (responsibly) make your way there for a sunset light show spectacle at the Turrell Skyspace."

"One of the finest points of interest for any beer devotee in Houston is Saint Arnold Brewing Company. They’ve been making craft beer longer than any other brewery in Houston. Tasting their beers is lots of fun, but seeing how they’re made is even better."

"Reasonable people can disagree on where the best Tex-Mex is in Houston, but few would argue who was the first to offer it. Back in the 1970s, the Original Ninfa’s on Navigation changed the course of culinary history by introducing the city to the cornerstone of Tex-Mex: the fajita, perfectly seasoned meat wrapped in a warm tortilla. Mama Ninfa isn’t in the kitchen anymore — the restaurant changed owners years ago — but many locals will still tell you if you want to find legit Tex-Mex, you can’t go wrong with the tacos al carbon (or beef fajitas) at the Original Ninfa’s."

"Ninfa’s may have a location in Uptown today, but the original concept (as its name suggests) began on Navigation by Ninfa Laurenzo, a.k.a. “Mama” Ninfa, and it was here that tacos al carbon — fajita meat in warm flour tortillas with pico de gallo, guacamole and queso — were put on the map. Pair them with a heaping plate of nachos and a Ninfarita for Tex-Mex gold."

"Location: 2704 Navigation Blvd, Houston, TX 77003, United States. Our favorite dish: Oaxacan-style Braised Pork Handmade Tamales. Give them a call: +1 713-228-1175"

"Literally any baked good that you pick up at Common Bond will have you feeling #blessed. Kouign Amann is sort of like a densely packed croissant, made up of flaky, buttery layers and finished off with a crunchy, caramelized sugar glaze. If you want this little taste of heaven, get there early — these babies don’t stay in the case for long."

"Both a café and a bakery, Common Bond makes it easy to want to sit and stay for awhile. But even if you stayed all day, you couldn’t possibly indulge in the plethora of treats, both savory and sweet, that they offer. Common Bond sources as many local ingredients as possible, which means a fresh, delicious, and constantly changing menu."

"Montrose is such a hot area in town, and Common Bond Cafe & Bakery certainly fits in well there. Not only is the coffee incredible, but the pastries are out of this world. Their almond croissant is perhaps the best in town."

"State of Grace answers the age old question of what would happen if a hunting lodge and a Restoration Hardware came together to form a restaurant."

"This restaurant burst on to the Houston scene a couple years ago. And we are big fans. First, the decor is very chic."

"If Texas is known for one dish, it’s barbecue, and Houston is home to some of the best smoked meat joints in the country. Among these, Gatlin’s is consistently ranked as one of the best for its perfectly seasoned brisket, and melt off the bone ribs. As true Houstonians with strong links to both Texas and Louisiana, these regionally inspired flavours shine through in their most celebrated dishes."

"No list of the best barbecue restaurants in Houston would be complete without Gatlin’s BBQ. Period. The family owned and operated BBQ joint has been dishing out seriously mouthwatering meats, slow-cooked to perfection, for a decade. As you consider which delicious plate and sandwich to order, be sure not to overlook Gatlin’s new breakfast menu."

"Also known as Happy Valley, this super-casual Dun Huang Plaza spot boasts a deep roster of Chinese and Taiwanese dishes, perfect for a family meal. We love the green-onion-pancake-wrapped beef and the house noodle soup packed with scallops and shrimp in a fragrant, light broth. There’s also free hot-and-sour and egg drop soup by the counter."

"Last but not least, Luigi's Pizzeria is always a great way to end the day with their pizza slices starting as low as $3.25."

"Well good thing there is a place called Sushi 9, where you can get all you can eat sushi for a cheap and affordable price. They have a huge menu of selections you can choose from, all of which are equally tasty. Plus, they don’t just serve sushi here at the buffet, but other staple Japanese items as well."

"With about 50 places in Houston offering Bubble Tea delivery, including Jenni’s Noodle House in Upper Kirby, you’re sure to find a great takeout spot."

"In a city where Taco Tuesday is widely celebrated, knowing where to score is a must — and Tacos A Go Go should be part of your regular routine. Open early each morning and into the wee hours of the night, it offers breakfast tacos with toppings like grilled potato and chorizo scrambled into eggs for $2.59. Pure Mexican street tacos like the Pastor, with tender slices of guajillo-marinated pork fajita meat topped with juicy bits of pineapple, are under $4."

"Tacos start at around $2.99 each and they have all of your favorites to choose from. If you’re extra hungry, their Muy Yum plates won’t break the bank, either."
