Buffalo Wild Wings was founded in 1982 when a guy from Buffalo, New York traveled to Ohio to judge an amateur figure skating competition and failed to find any wings that measured up to the ones at home. Now B-Dubs, as it likes to call itself, has spread to nearly every state in the U.S. with more than 600 locations, including Houston, where it's easy to find on Voice Places. The yellow-and-black logo features a buffalo that has sprouted majestic wings, but make no mistake--it's strictly chicken here, available in regular or boneless varieties in 21 flavors from Garlic Parmesan and Caribbean Jerk to Asian Zing and the simply named but much feared Blazin'. Every location features a plethora of televisions for your sports-watching needs and a plentiful selection of beer on tap.

Alamo Drafthouse - Vintage Park

Alamo Drafthouse has long been known as a great spot to catch a movie with a glass of cold craft beer delivered right to your seat during the film. Both area locations -- the other one is near Katy -- recently upped their games by adding cocktails and creating a menu that's much more restaurant than movie theater in terms of selection and quality. Though some appetizers miss the mark, the pizzas and burgers are the stars of the show, making use of fresh ingredients and simple preparation to delight diners from the previews through the credits. With the simple system of writing down your order and flagging it for the servers to see, food is prepared and delivered throughout the course of the movie by nearly invisible waiters trying their best to stay quiet and out of site. And let's face it, few things pair with movies like booze, so the craft margaritas and spiked shakes are a welcome addition to any moviegoing experience.

Another Time Soda Fountain

Diner, American, Recommended, Best Of, Menu

The drinks are the biggest draw at Another Time Soda Fountain, the highly authentic and old-fashioned restaurant located in a 1910 building in historic downtown Rosenberg. Here you'll find lime coolers, Coke shakes, phosphates and homespun shakes and malts -- not the kind of dessert drinks you're likely to encounter at many other places. The one-pound banana splits are a thing of beauty and are best when split, of course, as are the huge burgers and chili cheese dogs.

Ashland House Tea Room Restaurant

This onetime Heights institution lost its lease and ended up in a former hair salon in Spring Branch. But the change in locale has done nothing to alter the tearoom charm of the food; that charm can be variable, true, but the cheese soup, the chicken berry salad and the homemade desserts are all worthy of the ladies who lunch.

Baba Yega

American, Deli, Health, Vegetarian, Recommended, Best Of, Menu

This cozy cafe, named after a Slavic witch, has been a favorite ever since Montrose was the capital of Bohemian culture. The converted bungalow, with patio seating and a lush herb garden, serves artist types, workers and families. Like its clientele, the food is a mixed bag of deli, home cooking and vegetarian cuisine. Winners include the Caesar, topped with grilled chicken and charred red peppers, and the grilled vegetables over herbed brown rice. The best bet, however, is the huge char-grilled burger, served with a side of Baba Yega's famous dill potato salad.

Balls Out Burger

1603 N. Durham Dr. Heights

Burgers, Fries, American, Slideshow

Balls Out Burger looks the part its name evokes, with burgers that positively ooze beef and cheese. Unfortunately, they eat far tamer than they look. While the default burger here comes devoid of anything but beef and bun swaddled in melting American cheese, you’re better off adding some salad stuff for balance. You’ll also want to opt for the single instead of the jaw-unhinging double. The beef is flavorful and well seasoned, but comes a bit too compressed and bearing an unfortunately weak sear. Overall, Balls Out burgers look, feel and taste an awful lot like the burgers you might make at home, with decent-quality mass-market beef seared in carbon steel and blanketed with American cheese. That said, the expansive patio is a delight during nice weather, the all-Saint Arnold beer selection is a nice touch, and the shakes are homespun delights.

American, Fine Dining, Steakhouse, Recommended, Menu

This fine-dining American restaurant, inspired by the Texas Gulf Coast, is located in old downtown Alvin. The restaurant is small, with only 12 tables and three booths, and the low wood ceiling makes it dark inside. The place uses local ingredients, including Texas-grown Akaushi and Wagyu beef. Try the house-made bacon and sausages and the wild game, including wild boar, antelope and venison.

The Barking Pig

2307 Ella Heights

The Barking Pig is a casual neighborhood bar and grill that leans more heavily on the bar end of the enterprise. Expect counter service, but feel free to grab a seat on the patio and have a runner bring your meal. With both the drinks and the food, it’s a good bet to keep things simple. The straightforward backyard cookout-style burgers are pleasant enough, as are the thin-crust pizzas. Stay away from anything that strays from the expectable model, like the truly disappointing ceviche. Don’t expect to be dazzled, but do expect to have a good time.

Barnaby's on Woodway is small and has a more upscale feel to it when compared to other locations. The food, however, is good ol' Barnaby's, with interesting twists on traditional sandwiches and salads like their pesto chicken sandwich with artichoke hearts or the turkey breast with cranberry mayo. Hamburgers are a specialty of the house, and you'll find ten different versions, each one better than the next.
