Humble City Café is Humble's historic downtown restaurant. Housed in the Pangburn Building, built in 1914, the café opened its doors in 1995. With wooden accents, old tin signs, and a small candy store within the interior. It all combines to create the perfect country café that takes you back to a bygone time.
Enjoy southern comfort foods such as peach tea, cornbread, peach cobbler, meatloaf, mac and cheese and delicious sandwiches and burgers. The cafe's generous portions will not leave you hungry. Come in for breakfast until 1 p.m. and indulge in the buttermilk pancakes or egg dishes. For lunch or dinner, explore their south of the border options or a spud or stick with their home cooked style chicken fried steak.
Expect the friendliest service and a comfortable setting as you dine. Be sure to browse through the candy store/gift shop when you're done with your meal and find some unique items.

A strong selection of small, shareable plates await at Squable, ranging from gougeres served with green garlic gravy to marinated mussels served with calico beans and bonito aioli. As far as the larger plates are concerned, consider the bolognese lasagna with pickled collards, or the restaurant's famed French cheeseburger, which is showered in raclette cheese.
Malaysian street food is the star at this Katy dining destination, but its menu is wide-ranging. Right now, the curry-sauced crawfish is big and juicy, and dishes like sizzling black pepper beef, Hainanese chicken with a trio of sauces for dipping, and grilled whole snapper in sambal sauce shine every single time.
Chefs Christine Ha and Tony Nguyen have teamed up for this modern Vietnamese restaurant that pays homage to both chefs' heritage alongside Texas and Gulf Coast cuisine. Find dishes like smoked beef rib flat rice noodles made with 44 Farms ribs, or lemongrass-buttermilk fried chicken with pandan rice, pickled cucumber, beef tallow aioli, and hot saté honey.
After opening in the midst of the pandemic, chef Aaron Bludorn's namesake restaurant is already a local favorite. The dishes here are thoughtful and balanced, including gnocchi with morel mushrooms and english peas and decadent sea urchin spaghetti. The starters menu is equally compelling, with options like foie gras served with pineapple and a macadamia brioche doughnut, on offer.
This iconic Tex-Mex spot has its takeout system dialed in, which makes it easy to order up a truly epic feast of fajitas, queso, and margaritas. Order queso flameado, the always-classic Mixta Ninfa fajitas, and mango-habanero margaritas, all available for dine-in, takeout, or delivery.
Melding classic Italian with Tex-Mex, Gulf Coast and Cajun cuisine, Mandola's menu includes dishes like drunken shrimp in tequila-lime butter over linguini, snapper Martha, topped with crawfish and jumbo lump crab, and good old-fashioned spaghetti and meatballs. The lovely patio, which feels like a European terrace, is perfect for social distancing and al fresco dining.
The dining experience at Xochi is pretty much back to normal, and chef Hugo Ortega's destination for Oaxacan cuisine is as strong as ever. Consider the memelas, served with roasted pork rib and tomatillo-avocado sauce, or a crispy tlayuda topped with grilled skirt steak and mole negro.
Pizaro's is serious about Neapolitan pizza — so serious that it earned certification from the prestigious Vera Pizza Napoletana organization, which governs “authentic” pies from the region. Keep it classic with a margherita pie, or order the Calabrese, topped with pepperoni, sopressata, fresh mozzarella, and Parmesan. Order takeout or delivery via Pizaro's website .
Formerly known as Danton's, Eugene's really shines in its new(ish) home. Its focus is on Gulf Coast cuisine, evidenced by plates like crab-stuffed redfish, blackened catfish enchiladas, and steaks slathered in shrimp etouffee or poblano sauce.
One of Houston's most compelling new neighborhood eateries, Ostia brings creative-yet-unfussy cuisine to the Montrose. Share tuna crudo with shallot, capers, and sour orange and lamb shoulder gnocchi, or feast on heartier offerings like roasted chicken with lemon and salsa verde or New York strip served with hazelnut romesco.
This luxe restaurant is perfect for date night or a weekday splurge, thanks to dishes like creamy lobster bisque, beef carpaccio with king crab, and solid raw bar options. Caviar service is on offer for those who are really looking to ball out, while rigatoni in vegetarian bolognese and roasted branzino with white beans and preserved lemons serve as excellent entree choices.
Still one of Houston's best restaurants more than two years in, Nancy's Hustle recently reopened its doors in EaDo and the menu is better than ever. Start with a “pickle party” served with Spanish chorizo and cheese and (of course) the famous Nancy cakes, then move onto grilled golden tilefish served with roasted beets and confit fennel, or squid ink linguine and Gulf shrimp in fermented chili butter.
Technically, Eater Young Gun Ryan LaChaine is operating two restaurants out of his Montrose space right now. The first, a pickup and delivery only spot called Louie's, is a super fun sandwich shop serving up pizza subs, a riff on the classic Filet-o-Fish, and of course, LaChaine's famed butter burger sliders. There's also an excellent menu from Riel, boasting a Korean “crunch wrap” stuffed with blackened rice and skirt steak, mushroom empanadas, and crawfish rolls perfect for spring.
Banh mi is an essential Houston dish, and Cali Sandwich is one of the city's best destinations for a quick and killer sandwich. Whether you prefer your banh mi stuffed with beef, grilled chicken, barbecue pork, or meatballs, the options here are all excellent and under $5.
Now in its final months, James Beard Award winner Chris Shepherd's five-restaurants-in-five-years experiment is staying creative until the very end. Now focusing on a “Southern Comfort” theme, One Fifth is serving up Gulf-coast influenced dishes like smoked chicken and andouille gumbo, blackened redfish, and “scattered shrooms” over cheesy grits. Order takeout and delivery via One Fifth's website .
There's nothing more comforting than a bowl of baked ziti or pizza with a perfectly blistered crust, and Rosie Cannonball is a worthy destination for both. Consider the cacio e pepe pie or classic pepperoni, and finish with a pint of white sesame gelato. Order online via Rosie's website .
Classic Italian dishes are prepared with care at this Montrose staple, ranging from freshly made bucatini puttanesca to hearty rigatoni bolognese and chicken piccata. The baked goods, including Paulie's famed shortbread cookies and cream cheese brownes, are also not to be missed.
An evolution of Chris Shepherd's groundbreaking restaurant Underbelly, UB Preserv remains one of the city's most interesting dining destinations. Led by chef Nick Wong, the restaurant serves up a uniquely Houston slate of dishes, ranging from salt and pepper squid to Vietnamese short rib fajitas and whole-roasted snapper with calamansi brown butter. Desserts from pastry chef Victoria Dearmond, including ca phe sua da carrot cake and an “old-school” fried apple pie, are definitely worth saving room for.
Home to one of Houston's best oyster bars, look beyond the bivalves on the menu at State of Grace for stunning, splurge-worthy plates like hearth-roasted octopus, cacio e pepe spaghettini showered in grana padano cheese, and bearnaise-slathered steaks.
This beloved neighborhood cafe keeps it homey without sacrificing on quality. Currently, Giacomo's is serving a limited menu of its greatest hits, including rustic, egg-topped ratatouille, gnocchi alla romana, and shrimp diavolo.
An “unapologetically Thai” restaurant, Street to Kitchen doesn't mince words about its commitment to staying true to its culinary roots. Look forward to rice bowls topped with crispy pork belly and pork Panang curry, super-fresh green papaya salad with dried shrimp and crushed peanuts, and stir-fried Thai basil beef.
Don't let the line out the door be too intimidating — the chicken and waffles at this legendary Houston breakfast joint are not to be missed. Thanks in part to a stamp of approval from Beyonce, this Midtown staple is the perfect spot for wings and grits, cheesy breakfast sandwiches, and an excellent eggs Benedict served on a biscuit.
This beloved taco truck, parked next door to the West Alabama Ice House, is home to some of Houston's finest tortilla-wrapped delights. Score tender fajita, crispy pastor, lengua and more street-style tacos, or go for a torta or quesadilla. Either way, lunch will likely cost less than $10.
