Jay Cafe is awesome! Those little rolls they bring out help coat my stomach for the chicken fried steak onslaught! LOL

Hogie Ranch is good stuff...Kenny, Dave and I ate there onetime...remember Kenny? Good burger, and sammichs, lotta collectible type stuff hanging on walls...that'll take you back. Good people that own it...go there about once a month!

Orleans Seafood restaurant on the Katy Fwy, near Katy (catfish with a bite), Babins Restaurant on the Katy Fwy (variety not usually found in most restaurants), Goode Company Seafood (Campechana & Mesquite Smoked Seafood), and Pappadeauxs (later in the evening, at the bar, with appetizers or a full meal). Cheap seafood lunch? Connies on Airline, across from the Fruit Market, just south of the North Loop.

I've been on a "Hoogie Ranch" trip here lately. Good food, all kinds of crazy stuff to look at and the owner and staff are super nice. Located in Kemah, it is close to me.

2112,

I have been wanting to try the Hoagie Ranch out. I have recently made countless trips to the Home Depot across the street and can't get my family excited about going in there for a sandwich. We should meet up at the Ranch one night or on a Saturday.

Have you tried The Pelican Grille on the other side of the lake?

Sure there are some OK places, but I miss the old Texas cafes, steak roadhouses, BBQ joints, German beer gardens, sausage houses with the hogs out back, Czech bakeries with them kolachis, fiery Mexican places, and dockside crab shacks with real crabs in the cage. Now it's all Yuppified. Perhaps it's nostalgia, remembering those cool old joints. The breakfast and lunch cafes run by those old grandmothers and aunts were really something, could make catfish taste like heaven - but don't cuss or you're out! While certainly not 5-star, real Texas food is a real treat, different from New Mexico, Louisiana, or Southern cooking.

Sure, we can talk about the Oriental stuff and I love that stuff even a lowly bowl of Vietnamese Pho, a big influence in Houston and North Austin. I don't travel as much these days, and I'm sure there are some of the old joints still around. But it seems the younger generation just can't do it like the old folks made food by memory, some recipes handed down from great grandma and great grandpaw. Remember when they'd pencil whip your check and do the math by hand? It's almost laughable to think that today.

Oh yeah, I remember one thing I loved at those old cafes - pie! Don't get met started but some of those pies grammy made were pure heaven, fresh made that morning. Oh man I think I'm gonna cry now ....

Goode Co BBQ off Kirby if you want some good BBQ and a beer

[WestEndAngler]

For Seafood (near Houston), I'll drive down to Battleground Road (Now called Independence Pkwy). Head down 225 until the exit & head North towards the monument. On the right, before the Lynchburg Ferry landing is "The Monument Inn Restaurant" upstairs is by far the best lunch & scenic views of the channel. Never been for dinner but everything I have had for lunch there has been GREAT!

go ode company seafood at Kirby and bissonnett in the old railcar.

[Termo]

Not in Houston but Mark's place (Bumpy's Fish Spot) on Moses Lake in Texas City has some great food. Not a large menu but if you hook it, he'll cook it!
