The best of the best! Get there early, cause they sell out quick. Best BBQ I've ever tried. We even had it catered at our wedding reception. Gotta try the ribs + mac n cheese.

If you're looking for the best tex-max, Pappasito's is it. It's on the pricier side, but you're paying for quality--try going on a Wednesday for half price fajitas for the best deal in town. Make sure to try the queso, fajitas, and grand gold margs.

Historic saloon and restaurant, ghost history, burnt down and rebuilt--just returned to our community recently. Great food, beautiful space, perfect venue for a large group lookin for southern food (would not recommend for someone with dietary restrictions).

Awesome local micro-brewery. Location has games and good food. You can take local beer to go because they have a canning machine. Stop by for a drink or to pick up a great local beer.

The dine in unlimited sushi/food for 2 hours option for under $30 is the best deal in town. Amazing food, location, and staff. You can literally eat as much Japanese food as you want in 2 hour + the awesome staff will bring it to your table (no need to get up for buffet line). Sushi, sashimi, apps, hibachi.. Local trick, just order the sashimi with no rice.

Sightseeing

Houston, we have a problem. Seriously, NASA is awesome. It's a 2+ hour drive round trip. But, I think it's the best tourist site in Houston. If you book ahead of time, you can pay extra to go on the NASA special tour. Dine with astronauts.. visit sites off limits to the public. Get driven around in a golf cart by a NASA historian. Trust me when I say, the special tour is the best money you'll spend on tourism in Houston.

City/town information

If you're looking for a day trip to Houston's historic (brown water) beach, plan for a 3+ hour round trip drive. Pleasure pier is amazing for the family!! Ocean boardwalk with a single entry fee that gets you access to all the rides. The Strand has all the history and dining covered. Would recommend Rudy & Paco as the best food on the island (albeit expensive). Visit the Moody Mansion + Bishop's Palace to learn all about the Galveston hurricane of 1900.

This is our favorite water park!! Right up the road. Has rides for all ages. Six Flags took it over, so you can use your Six Flags membership for entry. Make sure to get there early if going on a weekend--it can get crowded! Recommend going right when they open on a weekday to do the rides over and over. Check out their special event schedule for family events like dive in movies.
