Danny moved to Bissonnet after his Richmond shop. Before the Richmond store he had the Ten Fathoms downtown. My folks were friends but decided that when he moved to Bissonnet he tried to "healthy" it up too much and it lost a flavor or two.
May 11, 20187 yr Author Great Charcoal Chicken - Counter service at lunch but damn that stuff was good. Mine? "Jalapeno Quarter White, Beans, Fries and Tea" I'd give up a year of my life for one last plate. (Don't worry, it's not likely to be a very "good" year.)
May 11, 20187 yr I miss Rotisserie for Beef and Bird. Loved their quail, duck and other wild game. Great wine selections.

Lived a few blocks from there in the mid 90's right after getting out of school. I never went there because I was a serious poor at the time.
May 12, 20187 yr Angelo's Fishermans Wharf. As a kid I liked the little finger dipping bowls. Pretty sure the place was a mob front, didn't it burn down, maybe more than once?
May 21, 20187 yr los dos amigos. i may have gotten the last plate of enchiladas they ever served. 10 minutes ago, ERhine said: Christian’s Totem. I ate there four or five times the last week it was open. i must take lunch at a different time than you because i was there 3 or 4 times.

May 22, 20187 yr Much more current but damn I miss les baget on Montrose. I love les noodle too, and I know les baget is re-opening in the heights, but that’s just way too big a pain in the ass for me.
June 4, 20187 yr Felix Mama's Cafe Texadelphia (Westheimer) La Strada Los Tios (yeah, still around but under the new owners the place sucks) Cafe Adobe (Westheimer) Ruggles (the original one on Westheimer) San Jacinto Inn

I haven't thought about that place in years, even though I drive through that intersection all the damned time. And how does your list not include Pappa C's???
June 11, 20187 yr Another vote for Felix's. Really miss their queso. Magnolia Bar & Grill - pretty good place for crawfish
June 12, 20187 yr Fun fact: you can get the Felix greasy cheese at El Patio, neh, Club No Minor. The entire Felix menu actually

June 12, 20187 yr I'll echo a lot of other's choices, Catalon Christian's Totem Texadelphia Ruggles Los Tios with their $.25 margarita nights
June 12, 20187 yr As far as I know there are still a few Double Dave’s open and didn’t Texadelphia reopen?Going take it back a little and for the 1960 area fools...the original Mongolian bbq place near Champions. Christian’s on Washington.
June 12, 20187 yr i don't recall double dave's being in the houston market growing up. for all i know they could have been all over cypress/tomball, though.
June 12, 20187 yr i don't recall double dave's being in the houston market growing up. for all i know they could have been all over cypress/tomball, though. there's a double dave's open in katy. at least there was 2 years ago.I don’t think they came to Houston until the early 2000s. Maybe I am wrong. But the first time I ate there was in Austin in the early 90s. Yeah, I know they are from the butthole of Texas. But there is one on weathermen bear dairy ashford and a couple in the burbs such as copperfield and Klein.

June 12, 20187 yr i'd really like to see this weatherman bearI’m not going to edit that spectacular Apple autocorrect. But just in case you can’t find it, westheimer and dairy ashford.
June 13, 20187 yr I have mixed emotions about Mama's Cafe on Westheimer. I really liked the place, but I went there a lot with my ex. I miss Vargo's. Spent many dinners before high school formals there trying to make my date feel fancy so I could get laid. It was a beautiful restaurant, but the food was probably so so, not that my uneducated high school palate knew the difference. Edited June 13, 20187 yr by NeverMarryAStripper
June 13, 20187 yr Mama’s Cafe served the best meatloaf in town. And the broccoli rice casserole and fried okra were the tits. Add the margarita with sangria topper and you have a case of pure win. I lament its passing.

It was damn good. Some good one's on here. Felix was the best. Hunan was great. I'll add the old Schezuan Restaurant on Westheimer and Voss and Lotus on Westheimer and Fountainview. Mama's Cafe on Westheimer (cant figure out why nothing is being done with location). Otto's...it sucked really but I still miss it, La Casa del Caballo was awesome but in a jinxed location. It wasn't opened long but one of the best rib eyes around.

June 13, 20187 yr Mama's Cafe - still can't understand why that placed closed down. The Railhead Dong Ting - high priced Chinese in a fabulous setting right near Brennan's Dirty's La Mora Molina's on Buffalo Speedway Samperi's Import Co. (Almeda Mall) - best sandwich ever made.
June 13, 20187 yr The Mason Jar on the Katy Freeway. Their CFS was one of my all-time favorites. Epic.

Did the Texadelphia on westheimer close and then reopen or did that one never close? The one by me closed and I now there was a bunch of other locations that have gone away.

The one by me closed and I now there was a bunch of other locations that have gone away. No, the big one on Westheimer where Beaver's currently is closed a couple years ago along with all the others. They all were terrible though. Quality went down with cheaper ingredients. New owners brought back all the original recipes. Quality back up. It's pretty good.
