Jonathan Montgomery: The Garlic Okra is the best and yes people who cannot handle spice too well should go mild however I always go medium spicy. Really almost everything there is good u really can't go wrong!
Gus Sham: Try garlic okra on days when u like veggies
Jenn: Garlic Okra, grilled eggplant, thai curry and shrimp Pad Thai are totally legit. Thai hot 7 is really really hit even by my standards.
Houston Press: Sip on a French 75 while you feast on stellar $4 to $8 bar snacks, including fully dressed short rib sliders, blue cheese waffle chips, and crispy okra with buttermilk dip.
Local Houston Magazine: Now Frank's Americana Revival, the menu is more than nostalgic; classic American dishes with a touch of gourmet, the kind of food you grew up loving! Read more.
Houston Press: Starch, meat, and cream. Do you really need anything else? Whether you want it smothered in bacon gravy alongside Texas toast or served with fried eggs and buttermilk biscuits Read more.
Rhi M: Good, but i wouldn't call it great BBQ. Not really any gluten free alternatives, but good salads, and many in group loved their pancakes and brisket, and fried okra.
gautam reddy: Sides and baked potato and bbq sauce . one of the best bbq sauces
Elizabeth Baker: This restaurant is why Houston is one of America's most obese cities!
chris valdez: Have a rudz burger with okra or tator tots. The fries are dead to me.
Houston Press: Try the Rudz burger! It comes with the basics: lettuce, pickle, onion, tomato. But you can always jazz it up by ordering a basket of Nuts & Bolts on the side. (Go for the fried okra.)
The Most Interesting Man in the World: Aside from the 1997 Bullseye on the High Seas Championship, in which an errant throw lodged a dart into Captain Eagleton’s wooden leg, it’s rare to find a spot that showcases both darts and comedy.

Houston Press: After almost a year in the making, OKRA Charity Saloon made it's debut in earnest late last year. Read more.
Eater: The vibe in this historic space is so good that it merits a visit. With Anvil veteran Mike Criss leading the way, the cocktail program will be solid.
César Giralt: Somethings cause you to drink. Here, you drink for a cause.
