Houston's is consistent. The burger always tastes like the burger it was when I was in high school. It is one of my favorites in town. The french fries are the crispiest I have ever had, they are shoestring. Not many people do shoestring anymore, probably b/c they'll clog all your arteries in one serving.
One thing I don't like about Houston's is that they do no accept reservations with 5 or more people-- that is lame.
We had to wait for a table for awhile but we sat out on the patio and enjoyed beverages, so that was nice. It wasn't so hot yet that it didn't feel like torture. But it will be torture next weekend.
Another meal I always enjoy is the rotisserie chicken and the vegetable plate. I wish I could prepare a vegetable plate like that at home b/c then maybe I would eat more veggies.
Service is always good. The dark atmosphere is very relaxing as well.
