  • Buffalo Grille

    1301 S. Voss Galleria

    713-784-3663

    This Western-themed counter service Galleria cafe is a breakfast bonanza on weekends, when the line snakes out the door with singles in need of morning-after migas, and soccer moms and dads feeding the clan giant apple-wheat pancakes and peppered bacon. Patio seating adds to the charm of this casual cafe, which has added a dinner menu. Breakfast has a strong Mexican accent - try the bulging burrito stuffed with egg, sausage and green chiles - but still speaks in more traditional Southern tones, too, with wake-up plates like hotcakes, creamy cheese grits and pecan-smoked sausage. For lunch and dinner, the grill serves decent burgers as well as chicken and dumplings, catfish, chicken-fried steak and King Ranch chicken.

  • Chili's

    1110 Lake Woodlands Dr., Spring Outside Houston

    281-362-9191

    Originating in Dallas in 1975 as a casual sit-down restaurant stuffed to the brim with Southwestern tchotchkes, Chili's has since grown into a behemoth chain owned by culinary conglomerate Brinker, with more than 1,400 locations in more than thirty countries. Sadly, the Awesome Blossom is no more, but menu staples like Chicken Crispers, Southwestern Egg Rolls and those infamous baby back ribs — which may or may not cause you to spontaneously burst into song — are still going strong. Every location including Houston features a fully stocked bar, and, as would seem fitting for a Southwestern-themed chain, Chili's specializes in margaritas, from top-shelf to sparkly fruit-flavored incarnations. In recent years the chain has continued its worldwide domination with more minimalist, modern decor and promos like the "$20 Dinner for Two." Voice Places is the place to find a Chili's near you.

  • Rio Ranch

    9999 Westheimer Memorial

    713-952-5000

    Just because it’s attached to a hotel — in this case, the Westchase Hilton — is no reason to think less of Rio Ranch. This restaurant can hold its own with the Goode Companys of Houston, and has done so for nearly two decades. A Robert del Grande concept from its beginnings, Rio Ranch has been expertly shepherded since 1993 by its longtime chef, San Hemwattikit, who puts together a gorgeous (and well-attended) brunch buffet on the weekends and serves classics like buttermilk-fried chicken and cowboy-cut rib eyes at dinner.

  • TQLA

    4601 Washington Ave. Heights

    281-501-3237

    The 170 different tequilas, plus eight varieties on tap chilled to five degrees and an owner who is a tequilier (yes, you heard right), might make you think this is only a bar. But TQLA on Washington Avenue is also a place to get some great Southwestern cuisine. The decor is chic and ultramodern, as are the patrons. The menu is extensive and ranges from simple fish tacos and wild mushroom tamales (a favorite) to crawfish corncakes and orange pork tenderloin.
