In Short – Burnished brass and stained wood complement roughly mortared brick and the occasional plant. Amid ubiquitous earth tones, corporate types and small parties (celebrating or simply living large) occupy deep booths done up in fine upholstery and lit from above by pin spotlights. Burgers, prime rib and steaks are the specialties of the house, but the menu also includes salmon, salads, pork chops and roasted chicken.

Long Wait, cold food
by JimN696
We've been regulars at this spot for years because the food was great and the prices were reasonable enough.
A 40 minute wait for great food is tolerable, but this time it was 2 HOURS! They said, "The wait is two hours, but check back in a half hour." We checked back twice, then decided to sit at the "Community Table" which was first come, first served. The fish of the day (why we came in the first place) was $30, so we skipped that and had the Fire House Chili as an appetizer. It was cool when it arrived. The chicken sandwich that I ordered was likewise cool. The service was top notch, but that's not enough to make up for the ho-hum meal and over an hour wait. I guess all good things must come to an end.
Great food but long wait

Have been to Houstons several times and would go more often if not for the outrageously long wait time.90 miniutes is entirely too long a wait at 630so we went elsewhere
Best Ribs In the Metro
by sharmagirl
I frequent this spot regularaly because the food is really good. Although its part of a chain, and it sits in the middle of some other large chain restaurants in Hackensack, NJ Riverside Sq. Mall, this particular one is great. You can not call and make reservations, and if you go anyday during the week, expect at least a 30-40 minute wait, and on the weekends, even longer. The appetizers and salads are excellent. The peel and eat shrimp is amazing. It's fun to eat and they don't just give you 2 pieces of shrimp, it's good, fresh jumbo shrimp. Also, apparently the ribs are amazing. My bf gets them everytime, they're just so juicy and fall right off hte bone. I wouldn't know, I have never eaten the things! I am a big fan of their Ahi Tuna which is absolutely amazing. The salad and entree are spectacular. They cook it just right.
- Pros: Great Ribs
- Cons: In the Mall
Do not bring your kids here!
by Tefany
My husband and I were asked to leave this restaurant because our 2 year old got upset when the waiter removed her dinner plate, without asking, when she was not done. She did scream but was by no means out of control. The manager was rude and especially unkind to our child. I called the corporate headquarters to share my experience and was told that children are welcome in the restaurant as long as they are "seen and noy heard." Yes, they really said that!
- Pros: Mall location
- Cons: Long wait, they will hate having your child there.
Great Food
by msdecember
I visited Houston's recently with my fiance and another couple who had come there before.. Even though it was a bit on the pricey side, it proved to be worth it when the food came... The spinach dip and bbq ribs are beyond good... YUM. I will definitely be back there...
- Pros: Great tasting food
- Cons: A bit pricey
