What to see and where to dine recommendations please, for two to three days. Thank You!!

Landry's Steakhouse, Houston

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen.

Check out space center

Lots of Mediterranean type restaurants if you like that kind of food.

Change your plans if it’s not too late. I hate Houston, and I was born there!

I do. A lot.

But, I've watched too many episodes of The First 48 and Houston is one place I'll try to avoid for the rest of my remaining years!

1 or 2 ?

Lupe Tortilla if you like Mexican food.
Papa’s steakhouse if you want to drop big $$$$ on a good steak. Taste of Texas as an alternative.

NASA with a trip to the Kemah boardwalk.

If you’re gay, head to Montrose.

No reason to go downtown, unless you want to catch a baseball game.

If staying in a hotel, don’t leave anything valuable in your car.

Make sure you hit a Buc-ees on you way in and out of town.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

^^^^This, too^^^^

Goody’s BBQ used to be really good, too.
Haven’t ate their in YEARS, though.

McCormick and Schmick's is always good.

El Tiempo Cantina fajita’s are off the hook.

Whataburger is the best fast-food burger in the lower 48.

Isn't there a big gun store you guys used to talk about?

Carter Country ???
There’s another one called “collector’s firearms” or something like that.
If you’re a fan of super high prices, you’ll love it. 🤪

Collector's Firearms

I have bought a few bargains from Collector's that they did not realize were bargains.

I think most Americans have heard of the Alamo but how many know about the Battle of San Jacinto and the San Jacinto Monument? The Battle of San Jacinto is where Texas won the war for independence from Mexico.

San Jacinto Museum and Battlefield.

https://www.sanjacinto-museum.org/


"The San Jacinto Monument is a 567.31-foot-high column located on the Houston Ship Channel in unincorporated Harris County, Texas, about 16 miles due east of downtown Houston. The Art Deco monument is topped with a 220-ton star that commemorates the site of the Battle of San Jacinto, the decisive battle of the Texas Revolution. The monument, constructed between 1936 and 1939 and dedicated on April 21, 1939, is the world's tallest masonry column and is part of the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site. By comparison, the Washington Monument is 554.612 feet tall, which is the tallest stone monument in the world. The column is an octagonal shaft topped with a 34-foot Lone Star – the symbol of Texas. Visitors can take an elevator to the monument's observation deck for a view of Houston and the San Jacinto battlefield."

Might go surfing in the ship channel with the dolphins (the mammal type)

I've lived in Houston since 1986 and I like it just fine.
Sure, Houston's not perfect but it's not bad for a large city IMO.

One of my favorite places to eat.

There is Carter's Country gun store. If you want the best experience go to the Treaschwig store. They have a shooting range there, so you can hear the boom & smell the powder burning...........

It has been a long time since I was there but I liked Willie G's for seafood.

^^^^^

2 of my favorites.

On your way in stop by T-Juanita’s in Winnie and try the fried ribs . It’s right off I-10.

Couple years ago, spent 2 weeks in houston for a training class.

Had to find something to do for a Sat / Sun.

Killed time at…

Pinto Ranch boot store..
Galleria ( ive from a small town, 3 story mall is cool)
RTIC cooler storefront.
Caught a Circue soliel ( spelling) show at the horse race track. ( stayed across the highway from it)

Been back since, NW houston to Waller / Hempstead. Waller reminded me of my hometown….

Houston's a big place. What area will you be in? If more central...

Firstly, avoid any Landry's owned restaurant ...Landry's Seafood, Landry's Steaks, McCormick and Schmick’s, Rainforest Cafe, etc..


For steak...Papa's Brothers Steakhouse. Consistently one of the best steaks in Houston. Better than most other high end steakhouses, imo.

For Tex Mex...Lupe Tortillia's. They're famous for Beef Fajitas.

For Cajun Food...Ragin Cajun on Richmond.

For Seafood..Good Company Seafood on Westpark

Nailed it.

Top Water Grill, 40 miles south of Houston, is worth the drive for seafood.

Be very careful in Houston in regards to vehicle smash and grabs, even in broad daylight. If you go into a store or restaurant, take any belonging/bags/backpacks etc. with you.

It's become so bad, it's almost beyond belief.
