Some of the best food in the world can be found less than a mile away from your hotel room at Conference. So go ahead, venture out and try something new this year. And your restaurant bill does not have to break the bank. Can you say one meal, two plates?
We asked five local Houstonian foodies and regular attendees to share their favorite restaurant recommendations. You're welcome!
Rev. Katie Montgomery Mears highly recommends Vinny’s Pizza and Indianola where yummy and unexpected flavors abound. If you are going to Indianola for lunch, no can do, they are only open for dinner.
For a special treat, Rev. Deborah Hawboldt says to walk on over to Xochi’s, celebrating the flavors of Oaxaca, Mexico. The restaurant is located at the Marriott Marquis Hotel.
John Esquivel regularly dines at Huyns, a family run Vietnamese restaurant where the owners still greet you. Huyns is over a decade old -- once you eat there, you will understand why they have been a favorite for so long.
Rev. Michael Jarboe (and many others) love Tiny Champions, a small but mighty space known for great pizza and other soul satisfying food. This restaurant regularly gets a 5 out of 5 on their reviews
For the "best burger in Texas," Shannon W. Martin says to Uber on over to Rodeo Goat. This dog friendly, outdoor space is a fun place to gather with friends. Don't miss their punch out french fries.
If you are feeling really adventurous, go down under to underground hall and try one of the food vendors in the tunnels.
For all of these tasty places, be sure to call ahead to see when restaurants are open, see if you need a reservation, and be sure to tip your servers generously!
