| Comments: | Being from Ohio, I expected Kansas City to have good steak
restaurants. I have found very few, but Houston's is definitely my
favorite.
The atmosphere is not flashy, yet is comfortable, dark, romantic and
classy. The servers all blend into the background with dark clothing.
Every server I have had so far has been kind, helpful, hardworking, but
not bothersome.
The steak is top quality. The filet is large, and the prime rib is very
lean, very tender, and very tasty. The horseradish is excellent as well.
My wife loves the flying chicken platter, which, I have to admit, is some
of the best breaded chicken I have ever had. I enjoy getting anchovies on
my Caesar Salad (just try it!) and they have a vanilla-walnut sundae (I
forget the name) is excellent.
The only con I can find about this restaurant is that you only get one
refill on lemonade (which is also good).

| Comments: | This is one of the best restaurant chains. It may seem pricey to some, but it is totally worth it. It's not a Plaza thing, it's just that all Houston's are like this.
My absolute favorite are the fork and knife ribs. The meat just slides off the bone with the fork. I also love their Caesar, hamburgers, fish sandwich, and fresh veggies.
The servers here are stuck up. They think they are all that because they work at Houston's. Get over it, it's only a restaurant! Most of the time service is pretty good though. |
