George C Posted April 15, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Not that much Texas but Rainforest Café is fun and only a couple of blocks from hotel and I heard Gaido's Famous Seafood Restaurant was excellent been there 90 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tillie Posted April 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Gaido's for sure. It's a local institution. Rainforest is part of the Landry's group and has restaurants all over the country. All Landry's are rip-offs. The new Pleasure Pier is a Landry's deal, so be advised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whaletaillover Posted April 16, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The Original Mexican Café is very good , also you might try Millers restaurant on Seawall and Shrimp and Stuff which now has 2 locations ( 1 at 39th and Ave O and 1 downtown. Two others that are on the Strand are Brews Brothers and I hope I spell it right Yaga's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
