on Yahoo Oct 01, 2008Food is good...but they have slowly taken the best things off the menu. WORST THING - SELL SELL SELL. Waiters must be told to push appetizers, drinks & deserts. I HATE being asked if I need another beer - when the one I... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 26, 2008We used to like Houston's for the Hawaiian Ribeye, and that alone, the baked potato, and drinks rounded off a good meal. A few years ago, we went back and no Hawaiian Ribeye on the menu, to me, taking away a signature dish... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 23, 2008I try many restaurants in Pasadena and avoid Houstons like the plague (but had to go that night with another couple who "rave"). Had the $27 pork ribs- very sweet sauce, not smoked, just smothered. Lets face it - pork... (more)

on Yahoo Feb 23, 2008The restaurant is far too dark. Each table could use more light by which to even see the menu. The service was poor by any standard as the servers were slow to respond, and, seemed put out by customer's requests. The... (more)
