"Bluewater Seafood is a trusted restaurant that serves the freshest and mouthwatering seafood dishes. They prepareth dishes in a way that the favors are well highlighted. The staff ensures that their diners have the best dining experience with them FUrthemroe, they cater to events at the restaurant or at any convenient location."

"Characterized as a crab shack, Blue Water is pleasantly relaxed and as casual as they come. Folks often stop in to linger over fresh seafood, and they drive in especially for spicy (seasonal) crawfish. You'll also discover garlicky Dungeness crabs, blueshell crabs, and delicious oysters, both raw and mesquite-roasted."

"Roadhouse-style local fish joint serving American & Cajun classics with beer & hurricanes. This appetizer combines the flavors of crawfish etouffee and the fun of a hand-held cup made out of crusty French bread. Once fried, the French bread takes on the consistency of a delectable donut."

"The gist: LA born-and-bred chef Thomas Bille (who had a brief stint at Xochi) treats his casa as su casa at his first restaurant, an unassuming ace up tucked away in Old Town Spring.The food: Tacos are a thing of beauty—and they are legit beautiful at this New World taqueria and Mexican restaurant, which fills its scratch-made tortillas with showstoppers like overnight lamb barbacoa, fall apart cochinita pibil, smoked king trumpet mushrooms, and charred habanero plus birria broth for dipping. There are more than just tacos, of course—bright ceviches, traditional huarache, soul warming pozole, and a masterful Sunday brunch also make an appearance.The cost: Starters and sides $2 - $14, tacos $3 - $12, dinner mains $21 - $24, brunch mains $11 - $19.How to book: Stop by for first come, first served seating or order take-out via Cake."

"To say we were impressed by Belly of the Beast is an understatement. Chef Thomas Bille has brought his Los Angeles and Downtown Houston sensibilities (Ritz Carlton, Otium, Xochi) to a small family restaurant in Old Town Spring, and the results are exceptional. From the first bite of the sharp, blindingly fresh housemade ceviche to the rich, nuanced, layered flavors of the Mexican Hummus and the Yellowfin Tuna Tostada, BotB surprises and delights."

"It's refried chick peas, queso fresco, and almond salsa macha, and it was inspired by chef Thomas Bille's daughter, who identifies as both Armenian-American and Mexican-American. "I never heard of anyone else doing that before," says Bille, who years ago tried refried lentils. The Mexican hummus comes with homemade tostadas, but you may want to order extra to scoop up every last bit."

"This casual cafe recently opened in Vintage Park in far Northwest Houston, a welcome addition to an area that has few French dining options. While the crisp-skinned chicken is always on offer, there’s also a rotisserie meat special that changes daily, not to mention classics such as steak frites, Basque mussels and fries, and the croque monsieur, a toasted, open-faced sandwich with ham, Dijon mustard, and gruyere on brioche. Add a fried egg and turn it into a croque madame."

"When Will Buckman quit his job with the phone company to focus on barbecue, some thought he was crazy. Our first taste of Will’s brisket, served from a trailer on Budde road, convinced us he was crazy like a fox. Along with wife Nichole, Buckman has built Corkscrew BBQ into one of the best BBQ joints in the world – Texas Monthly named them to their prestigious Top 10 list in 2017."

"Stop by CorkScrew Barbecue, a roadside trailer offering wood-smoked BBQ’ed goodness in the form of brisket, pork, and sausages, along with all the fixings, like potato salad, coleslaw, and much more. Pull on up to one of their picnic tables, and enjoy!"

"Romantic, elegant evenings are a given at this north Houston establishment, and diners regularly make their way to The Woodlands for incredible northern Italian cuisine. Whet your appetite with calamari or beef carpaccio before sampling capellini with crawfish, lobster risotto, or a main course centered on seafood, steak, chicken, or veal. Among the options are seared sea bass with sweet parsnips, veal piccata, a NY strip, and seared rainbow trout with sea scallops and grappa lime citrus jus."
