Several from long ago in my childhood when we used to come to Houston to see my grandparents:
-Kapan's on South Main at Kirby (where the Eckerd's is now), our usual Sunday after church lunch place - good steaks and seafood, and those excellent crab ball appetizers that the guy in the white suit used to bring around to all the tables
-Angelo's, another long gone seafood restuarant
-The Strawberry Patch on Westheimer, the Pappas family's country/home cooking concept (Pappas Bros. Steakhouse is there now)
-Tokyo Gardens, the first place I ever had Japanese
I used to live in Houston and we ate out about every Friday or Saturday nite. I remember Kapan's, Angelo's (We would watch the fireworks at Astroworld from there!) I also remember going to Pipe Organ Pizza. I hope it is still there....I have not been back to Houston in many years. They had great pizza and nice atmosphere. I also remember a Chinese food place called Western Steak Ranch. They still had the best egg rolls I have ever eaten.....even to this day....wish I could find them now! We also visited a place called Don The Beach Comber.....Hawaiian food.....really neat restaurant. The Old Hickory Stick had good BBQ.
Bonnie's Beef and Barrell (Beef and Brew) I think is still operating.....I liked that place alot.
Hope you remember these......if so tell me what you know about it.
Rollergirl gone.....
If you like seafood AND are old enough, you might remember:
1. Jimmy Walkers (now Landry's in Kemah)
2. The San Jacinto Inn (near Battleship Texas)
3. Tomek's (we'll make the location a trivia question).
Yep......remember the first two well. I did not like seafood....but loved the homeade biscuits, jam and atmosphere of San Jacinto Inn. Jimmy Walkers was good....liked watching the ship channel.
Do you remember Pipe Organ Pizza? Is it still in Houston. I live in Dallas and have not visited Houston area in a long time.
