There was a kick ass Malaysian place across Westheimer, and West of Carillon that was super high quality and not too expensive.   

Banana Leaf.  They moved to Chinatown. Bellaire between the beltway and corporate.

Those are good ones.

Danny moved to Bissonnet after his Richmond shop. Before the Richmond store he had the Ten Fathoms downtown. My folks were friends but decided that when he moved to Bissonnet he tried to "healthy" it up too much and it lost a flavor or two.

Great Charcoal Chicken - Counter service at lunch but damn that stuff was good.

Mine? "Jalapeno Quarter White, Beans, Fries and Tea"

I'd give up a year of my life for one last plate.

 

 

(Don't worry, it's not likely to be a very "good" year.)

I miss Rotisserie for Beef and Bird.  Loved their quail, duck and other wild game.  Great wine selections.

Lived a few blocks from there in the mid 90's right after getting out of school. I never went there because I was a serious poor at the time.

Cafe Adobe, great call.  I haven't thought about that place in years, even though I drive through that intersection all the damned time.

And how does your list not include Pappa C's???

As far as I know there are still a few Double Dave’s open and didn’t Texadelphia reopen?

Going take it back a little and for the 1960 area fools...the original Mongolian bbq place near Champions.

i don't recall double dave's being in the houston market growing up.  for all i know they could have been all over cypress/tomball, though. 

there's a double dave's open in katy. at least there was 2 years ago.


I don’t think they came to Houston until the early 2000s. Maybe I am wrong. But the first time I ate there was in Austin in the early 90s. Yeah, I know they are from the butthole of Texas.

But there is one on weathermen bear dairy ashford and a couple in the burbs such as copperfield and Klein.

I have mixed emotions about Mama's Cafe on Westheimer.  I really liked the place, but I went there a lot with my ex.

I miss Vargo's.  Spent many dinners before high school formals there trying to make my date feel fancy so I could get laid.  It was a beautiful restaurant, but the food was probably so so, not that my uneducated high school palate knew the difference.

Mama’s Cafe served the best meatloaf in town. And the broccoli rice casserole and fried okra were the tits. Add the margarita with sangria topper and you have a case of pure win. I lament its passing.

Some good one's on here.  Felix was the best.  Hunan was great.  I'll add the old Schezuan Restaurant on Westheimer and Voss and Lotus on Westheimer and Fountainview.  Mama's Cafe on Westheimer (cant figure out why nothing is being done with location).  Otto's...it sucked really but I still miss it, La Casa del Caballo was awesome but in a jinxed location.  It wasn't opened long but one of the best rib eyes around.

yeah it closed a few years ago. 

 

Did the Texadelphia on westheimer close and then reopen or did that one never close? The one by me closed and I now there was a bunch of other locations that have gone away.

No, the big one on Westheimer where Beaver's currently is closed a couple years ago along with all the others.  They all were terrible though.  Quality went down with cheaper ingredients.  New owners brought back all the original recipes.  Quality back up.  It's pretty good.
