Mmmm! I am officially a huge fan of Houston's now. I've been to sister restaurant, The Rutherford Grill in Napa, and Houston's was just as good.
The place was popping tonight, and it is a Wednesday. It was dark and upbeat, but not stuffy by any means. The menu had many delicious options - it was difficult to make a decision.
I started with a side salad with bleu cheese. It was crazy good. It had a housemade bleu and croutons, and even had corn in it. Different and scrumptious.
For my main course, I had their baby back ribs. These ribs were easily the best I've ever had (sorry Trail Dust). They were beyond fall off the bone they were so tender. The shoe string fries it came with were so perfectly done, they didn't even require ketchup. My wife had the Thai Noodle Chicken Salad, which she dubbed as the greatest salad she has ever had. My mother had the Rotisserie Chicken and Couscous. She was also very happy with her meal.
For dessert we shared the Belgian Hot Fudge Sundae with Candied Pecans. Damn it was sinfully delicious.
All in all, a perfect meal. 5 stars, with ease.
