Restaurants the Evans' Frequent
08/31/2009

 

I don't do. . . Other than this, if a restaurant in the Clear Lake area isn't listed, there's probably a reason.  (Except for Mexican restaurants -- there are so many, we don't frequent them all.)

Excellent .. Good... (no ball) OK ... We eat at all these places so none are poor.

General Menu - Cafe - Variety

  • Seabrook Classic Cafe - NASA, Seabrook - general menu, seafood -- fried oysters for me and recently their prime rib has been excellent
  • Black-Eyed Pea - Near Texas 3 & Bay Area Blvd. -- I get their grilled meatloaf
  • Kelley's - League City Main St. across from Popeye's & the Sonic -- country cooking,  large portions
  • Chili's - NASA 1 at Gulf Freeway (I45) Office Depot center.

Italian

  • Frenchie's - El Camino Real @ NASA 1 - Italian
  • Angelo's -Webster, Bay Area Blvd, between Texas 3 and I45, across from the Out Back Steakhouse -- best tortellini in the area, and good pizza.
  • Zio's - Webster, Bay Area Blvd, between Texas 3 and I45, across from Taco Cabana

Steak - most have seafood

  • Perry's Grille - Bay Area Blvd @ Texas 3 behind Kinko's -- declined somewhat in recent years.  Their Wednesday and Friday noon pork chop is usually great and a good deal.  Evenings got too pricy for us.  (haven't eaten here at night in a long time, so . . .)
  • T-Bone Tom's - in Kemah on Texas 146 near high bridge -- steaks & barbecue We get their tenderloin or chicken fried steak.
  • Bay Area Meat Market - 537 Kirby, Seabrook -- Absolutely no atmosphere, purely functional.  Super steaks, super cheeeap.  Good burgers.  Good pulled pork sandwich.  Barbeque.  We normally get the filet.
  • Hobby Hilton - Tuesday Night Prime Rib Buffet -- yum-yum (haven't been in about a year)
  • Samurai Japanese Steak & Sushi House - 133 W Bay Area Blvd, Webster.  We get a steak at the hibachi, but people rave about their sushi. 

Barbecue

  • Red River Barbeque -- League City on Main near Egret Bay Blvd.
  • Joe's - Alvin
  • Tony's Barbecue -- Saturn @ Gemini in Clear Lake City.  Best BBQ in the Clear Lake area

Hamburgers

  • Miller's Cafe - on Space Center Blvd., off Bay Area Blvd (old time greasy spoon burgers -- I like 'um)
  • Perry's Market and Grill -- 614 S. Friendswood Dr.  They have great dishes other than burgers but that's what I eat there most regularly.
  • Tookies - downtown Seabrook -- Sadly Tookies is gone with Ike

Mexican

  • Pappasito's - I45 northbound feeder between NASA 1 & Bay Area Blvd. The "Superior" is enough for the two of us.
  • San Lorenzo's - South Shore Harbor - I get the chimichangas or tamales. Best tamales in the area before Alamo came.
  • Mom Alone -- NASA One, across from the three tall (Power's) office buildings. We do Sunday breakfast.
  • Los Ramirez -- On El Camino Real, beside the Coliseum Restaurant across from Hancock's fabric.  
  • Alamo Tamales -- Texas 3, near Clear Lake City Blvd.  Best tamales in the area -- be sure to get the large ones, the small ones are just standard machine made tamales.  

Breakfast

  • Mom Alone -- Mexican Breakfast on NASA One, across from the three tall (Power's) office buildings.
  • Joe's Cafe and Grill - 16580 El Camino Real - A good, and reasonably priced breakfast buffet on Saturday & Sunday.  Has had many names Skeeters, Rocket City and it has just changed again, to the Cactus Grill.
  • Skipper's - Kemah FM 2094 (you may think it's 518 but it's not) about a mile from Hwy146
  • Taco Cabana -Webster, Bay Area Blvd between Texas 3 and I45.  Cheeeep and OK.
  • Denny's - Bay Area Blvd.
  • McDonald's - Breakfast Biscuit only
  • Jack-in-the-Box - I get their Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich & Egg Rolls only -- their egg rolls are the best around

Sandwiches

  • Jason's Deli - in Webster, Bay Area Blvd, between Texas 3 and I45, beside Bradleys
  • Potbelly -- in Webster, NE corner of Bay Area Blvd. and I-45, near Friday's
  • Subway Sandwiches - Bay Area Blvd @ Space Park drive across from Millers Cafe
  • Starfire Grill - in Armond Bayou shopping center behind beside PetSmart.  I like their chicken fried steak sandwich and their Philly Cheesesteak

Indian

  • Mogul - Bay Area Blvd. @ Space Center Blvd. in Armond Bayou shopping center behind Jack-in-the-Box-- this is my favorite restaurant in the bay area.  Their every day noon buffet is excellent.  Menu dishes are also excellent, but full service can be verrry slow

Chinese

  • Szechuan Garden Chinese Restaurant -- 707 W Main St, League City - between Texas 3 & I-45
  • Hunan Star - Across the street from Armand Bayou shopping center & Mogal Indian restaurant
  • China Star - Nassau Bay behind Wendy's across from CVS Drugstore (service has improved recently)
  • Oriental Gourmet Buffet -- El Camino Real, beside Coliseum - where movie theater was

Fried Chicken

  • Popeye's - Bay Area Blvd. in Armand Bayou shopping center beside Valero gas station.  We do take-out about every 6 weeks.  (hard place to figure out how to order)

Pizza

  • Double Dave's -- Bay Area Blvd, across from Armand Bayou shopping center/Popeye's
  • Pizza Hut -- Take out or delivery.   Bay Area Blvd, in Armand Bayou shopping center. Behind Popeye's.  I like their thin crust meatlovers, with extra sauce.
  • Pomodoras -- 1303 NASA Pkwy.  Everything is good, but service is often terrible.

Other 

  • Mediterranean Cafe & Market - In Nassau Bay shopping center on Upper Bay Road (we don't eat here often anymore -- just sorta burned out on this kind of food)
