Lots of popular restaurants in and around the neighborhood. For steak - Try B&B Butchers or Ritual. Both are great and you will need a reservation. B&B is a bit higher end. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an authentic buffalo wing, that's the place to go. Wait times are often in excess of an hour and during peak times, quality suffers. On the less conventional side, Hay Merchant smokes their wings (and half the time fries them afterward) which are also great when they're executing (PB&J are my fave there). Its also a great beer bar with excellent food since its owned by a big time chef. Dak n Bop (located in the Museum District) serves battered Korean style wings. Sriracha lime and Buffalo hot are very good. Fuego's on Washington Ave breads their wings but they are consistently well cooked and crunchy (I loathe rubbery skin). Houston is a top notch food city but wings is not something we're known for. I would strongly encourage you to avoid wings on this trip and opt for something we do well. Agree - I'm a Houstonian as well. Stick w/ Tex Mex, Steaks, and Seafood. Wings is for when you are in Buffalo. When in Rome.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one chimed in on seafood so let me suggest for a true Houston flavor try Goode Company Seafood and get some fish smoked over mesquite, delicious, also have pretty good fried oysters (Liberty Kitchen has better fired oysters) or Goode Company Cantina if you want fish/mexican mix of cusine. 2 hours ago, Bills Oil Company said: I live in Houston - specifically the Houston Heights, which is an old historic neighborhood just northwest of downtown (5-10 min from downtown).

CountryCletus Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I was considering making a shitload of wings for the tailgate- but it requires someone in the area with a turkey fryer and propane.... if someone coming to the tailgate can supply that, I will bring wings, sauce and oil.

B&B Butcher on Washington Ave is where you're most likely to run into Beyonce. Killen's Steakhouse in Memorial is less conventional and combines steakhouse with Texas BBQ and my one visit was excellent. I had an underwhelming experience at Georgia James but my girlfren has been back several times since and vouches for it. She also loves Doris Metropolitan. There is no shortage of fine steakhouses in Houston. I recommend Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen and order the salmon alexander. Totally awesome.

Bills Oil Company Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) BBQ is also great here - highly recommend: 1) The Pit Room (near downtown and not far from stadium). The Brisket tacos are unreal. 2) Pinkerton's - Its in the northeast part of the Heights. Excellent brisket as well.

Many out of towners are coordinating (or trying to) grill sharing, food, and beverage. You may find someone able to help you out ahead of time or find someone at the lot mentioned in the OP who will lend you some grill space. I am considering getting a party pack of fajita from El Tiempo for simplicity sake (they're available on Uber Eats too). It comes with plates, napkins, cutlery, everything you need. Also flirting with the idea of getting a $35 charcoal grill and picking up a Killen's ready cooked brisket from HEB, some bread, and sauce, and reheating. These things are decent in a pinch. https://www.amazon.com/slp/disposable-grills/f364vmk2ypr754p I will be driving down from Dallas Friday - I will have a Weber grill + accessories + chairs (8 or as many as I can fit).

eball Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I was wondering whether the roof at the stadium will be open Saturday (forecast is 68 degrees and sunny) and came across an interesting tidbit -- the roof at NRG has not been open for a Texans game in more than FIVE years. A local news station "investigated" and seemed to arrive at a conclusion that the team believes a closed roof contributes to crowd noise and creates more of a home field advantage. The article I read (dated November 2019) lists the various NFL stadiums with retractable roofs and notes they are open a considerable amount of the time. Way to go, Texans. Get the taxpayers to pony up big time for a fancy retractable roof and then keep it closed because you don't think your crowd is loud enough.
