What we look for in restaurants & food

  1. Texas-owned

    Locally operated, not a regional franchise.

  2. Consistent kitchen

    We eat there twice before listing — same standard both visits.

  3. Honest menu

    If they call it brisket, it's brisket. No mystery meats.

  4. Welcomes everyone

    Family-friendly, accommodating dietary requests without attitude.

Common questions

Do you list food trucks?

Yes — if they have a fixed address or a real schedule. We track them down.

Why isn't [famous restaurant] on the list?

Probably because we didn't like it. Or because they pay-to-play with everyone else and we don't take that money.
