rather disappointing

by wontgetfooledtwice

The staff organization and service at the St. Charles Avenue location were exceedingly poor. Though I had conventional expectations for seating and serving, the managment uttlerly failed in the most fundamental respects. Menu is what one would expect from a chain restaurant. There are far too many supurb dining alternatives in the City of New Orleans to waste an evening here. As a New Orleanian, I'm embarrased to admit to having dined at Houston's.

Live Jazz and Great Food

by jmdrake

Wife took me to Houston's for my birthday and treated me to a great Prime Rib. The food was good, and the service attentive. We enjoyed the music and the occasion.

• Pros: Good attentive service and nice music
• Cons: Not a fast food place

Roomy banquettes and hefty portions typify this polished American grill that's popular for business deals and special occasions.

In Short
Burnished brass and stained wood complement roughly mortared brick and the occasional plant. Amid ubiquitous earth tones, corporate types and small parties (celebrating or simply living large) occupy deep booths done up in fine upholstery and lit from above by pin spotlights. Burgers, prime rib and steaks are the specialties of the house, but the menu also includes salmon, salads, pork chops and roasted chicken.

I like this place!

by ueatmmm

Family and friends and food. Me... Tuna (oh by the way don't order the tuna) not enough for the hungry man. Yea, I'll go back next time with my wife's family from Montreal.

More to come in the next review.

• Pros: great parking, great food, great staff
• Cons: price$$??, small portions, ?????

YOU'VE GO TO BE KIDDING!

by TARANTINO

Look, HOUSTON'S is good, but top ten? Not a chance.

I find the steak menu dated, and frankly, boring.

I will give them an A+++ for their service though, in that category I would agree that they are definately top ten.

• Pros: SERVICE, SALADS, DESERTS
• Cons: LACK OF IMAGINATION, LACK OF INNOVATION, STEAKS

Consistancly Good - Anyplace

by sirjames

I always look for a Houston's in whatever city I'm in, from Coral Gables, Atlanta, Houston or Austin.

Their quality, service and setting is always first class and the food is always exellent. I can take business guests there without a worry about the food or service, regardless of the city.

• Pros: Consistance Quality, Excelent Food, Excellent Service
• Cons: Can be noisy, Parking can be limite

Busy, but safe

by vajsha

Houston's is a chain restaurant. Food is good, but exactly what you expect from any chain steak house. When the staff is in the zone, your glass never runs dry. Ask for the champagne vinegrette on the field greens salad (not on the menu). Be prepared to wait, especially on Sunday.

• Pros: on St. Charles, has vegetarian burger, casual to chic
• Cons: crowded, service uneven

Houston's is not a romantic restaurant. It's a chain for christ's sake
