Houston's and I have been friends for about 15 years and our friendship was very strong for about the first ten. In the last 5 years or so Houston's has really put our friendship to the test. Obviously through the years the prices have increased but in the last few they have really been increasing. Recently they halved the size over the caesar salad and almost doubled the price to 8 dollars. I know to a lot of the customer base this may not be a problem, but it still doesn't make it ok. Another recent issue is the change in potato type for their fries, they're just not as crispy as they used to be. But worst of all is the Houston's/Hillstone split. When Houston's moved from the Esplanade to a bigger space across the street they rebranded with the company's Hillstone name. At first it was all still the same (except they moved the sushi over from Scottsdale) but now corn on the caesar salad? I guess I'll have to stick to Scottsdale. I understand menu changes happen but it was so good and so the same for so many years why do they have to switch it all up now? Pretty sure the business model was working just fine. I will continue to eat at Houston's, that veggie burger can't be beat, but over the years we have started slipping further apart.
