Rank 70. Signature Restaurant
American
Within La Cantera Resort & Spa, Signature Restaurant pivots between seafood and game with equal dexterity—Spanish octopus arrives grilled crisp over avocado puree and chorizo, while venison emerges precise beneath cherry jus and potato pavé. The wine list is broad and the staff navigates it with genuine care, making this a place where ambitious cooking meets genuine hospitality.

Rank 73. The Barbecue Station
Barbecue
A converted gas station near the Loop holds thirty years of smoke and ritual. Brisket arrives in thick-cut slices on cottony bread; the turkey carries the gentler char of post oak and mesquite. The sides—particularly the house potato salad—deserve their own visit.

Rank 83. Garcia's Mexican Food
Tex-Mex Mexican
Since 1962, Garcia's has anchored this corner with the kind of Tex-Mex cooking that draws lines around the block at breakfast and dinner alike. The deluxe plate—enchiladas, tamale, chili con carne, hard taco—arrives in a squat dining room where the staff moves through the crowd with genuine warmth.

Rank 90. Cullum's Attaboy
French
A cottage near St. Mary's where counter seating overlooks an open kitchen dispensing French-leaning breakfasts on a modest budget: proper omelets glossed with butter and hollandaise, house-made rolls cradling smoked brisket and egg, powdered sugar doughnuts that eclipse most beignets. The breakfast potatoes alone justify a visit—they possess a clarity other versions lack.

Rank 94. Isidore
Texas New American
Isidore honors Texas ingredients and indigenous foodways through an ambitious, shareable menu anchored by a live-fire hearth in the Pearl District's midcentury modern setting. The popcorn chicken and dry-aged pork chop showcase the kitchen's confident hand with local sourcing and bold spicing.

Rank 96. Nicōsi
Creative Dessert
A velvet-curtained counter in a darkened corner of Pullman Market hosts an entirely dessert-focused tasting menu, each course built around acidic, umami, bitter, or sweet. The theatrical plating—tomme cheese mille-feuille with caviar and gold leaf, short rib crowned in house-spun cotton candy—rewards the surrender of phones and photographs alike.
