Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Cypress

"Lest we forget it’s crawfish season, this Creole classic is simmering its Breaux Bridge mudbugs low and slow with the Holy Trinity in a rich, velvety shellfish stock, then pouring enough for two over toasted and fluffed Jazzman rice. Finish it off with some Creole bread pudding drizzled in whiskey sauce for dessert.Cost: $48 (plus $8 for the bread pudding, if you’re going there), call 713-522-9711 for curbside pickup or order via Uber Eats"

"Texas shrimp and grits are a fan favorite at Brennan's of Houston. Brennan’s is a Houston classic for good reason. And this H-Town staple’s  brunch menu is full of high-quality Southern-inspired food."

"The lush foliage, well-manicured gardens, and cascading waterfall at this rustic standby make for quite the breathtaking scene, a popular choice for weddings, events, and, of course, date night. Hit the patio for a martini at Blue Bar before moving inside for your meal. Favorite starters include chile butter–roasted oysters and cognac-kissed lobster bisque, while mains range from bone-in ribeyes and double-cut chops to duck-leg confit and shrimp and grits."

"Under bright blue shaded canopies of the Blue Bar at Brenner’s on the Bayou, enjoy a truly original view — a hodgepodge of cobbled stones, water, super lush foliage and wooden bridges. At night, the outdoor patio is lit by sweeping, diagonally strung lights and fire pits, essentially the perfect locale for downing martinis, mules and margaritas. To beat the heat and still enjoy the view, snag a table inside for prime cut steaks and fresh seafood."

"Herman and Lorene Brenners opened Brenner’s Cafe in 1936 after working for years as a waiter at the historic Rice Hotel. An immigrant from Germany, Herman Brenner worked hard to save up the $30 it would cost to buy the land and begin construction on his dream restaurant just outside of downtown. Brenner’s continued operating as a cafe until the 1950s when prime beef filets were added to the menu for $3.50 each."

"You can’t talk about Houston breweries without mentioning the Texas OG, the patron saint of craft suds, Saint Arnold. Even if it wasn’t the oldest in the biz, the 25-year-old homegrown brewing company is easily Houston’s baddest, earning its spot in any discussion of “bests” in the Lone Star state today. Saint A’s sturdy selection of year-rounds and seasonals keep everyone coming back for more (and attending pub crawls around the city), while beer geeks are kept on their toes thanks to highly coveted specialty releases, including the barrel-aged Bishop’s Barrel and single-batch Divine Reserve series."

"Located right in the midst of Houston’s downtown, Saint Arnold Brewing Company was the first of the Houston breweries and also Texas’s first craft brewery. Back in 1994, the owners saw a void — at the time, Houston was the biggest city in the country without a microbrewery — and filled it. Today, they serve their beer in either their cathedral-looking tasting room or a huge outdoor beer garden with picnic tables galore, perfect for grabbing a beer with your friends and family (feels like an epic Oktoberfest waiting to happen)."

"Right outside of Downtown Houston, Saint Arnold is a beer garden and restaurant. As one of the breweries open at later hours, there’s no excuse to stop and try their year-round or seasonal batches!. Where: 2000 Lyons Ave, Houston, TX 77020"

"The OG Ninfa’s is often credited with spurring a nationwide fajita craze, so it’d be a shame if you didn’t bring your crew to crush some. Mixed parrillas for two come stacked with outside-skirt or chicken fajitas, succulent carnitas, plump shrimp, baby back ribs, chiles rellenos and scratch-made tortillas. Or get the flash-fried whole Gulf snapper—a thing of beauty."

"Address: 2704 Navigation Blvd, Houston, TX 77003Phone: (713) 228-1175Website. This is where the legendary Ninfa's Tex-Mex chain got its start. Ninfa's opened in 1973 when a newly widowed Ninfa Rodríguez Laurenzo started grilling up skirt steak to serve with tortillas from the family's struggling tortilla factory."

"This iconic Tex-Mex spot has its takeout system dialed in, which makes it easy to order up a truly epic feast of fajitas, queso, and margaritas. Order queso flameado, the always-classic Mixta Ninfa fajitas, and mango-habanero margaritas, all available for dine-in, takeout, or delivery."

"Literally any baked good that you pick up at Common Bond will have you feeling #blessed. Kouign Amann is sort of like a densely packed croissant, made up of flaky, buttery layers and finished off with a crunchy, caramelized sugar glaze. If you want this little taste of heaven, get there early — these babies don’t stay in the case for long."

"Definitely a more social spot, if you want to work before you meet with someone for lunch. But they’re known for their pastries and how great they are, so it’s a yummy spot to hang out at!. Location & ParkingParking lot, but it fills up fast"

"Common Bond is a trendy cafe and bakery located in Houston's hip Montrose area. Upon arrival, you are greeted by rows and rows of beautiful artisan pastries. Among these is their near perfect chocolate chip walnut cookie."

"Devotees of this Uptown Park venue don’t seem to care if it’s mid-August or late January, the patio is regularly packed with those seeking a taste from the cellar boasting more than 150 wines and bites from the commendable kitchen. But when the weather turns nice like it has this week, there are few livelier spots for celebrating Mother Nature’s blessings."

"This must-try spot doesn’t technically serve scoops, but they serve the perfect frozen treats for Houston’s hot days: popsicles. At Steel City Pops, you can try a myriad of pops, ranging from creamy to fruity to cookie pops. And if that’s not enough, you can dip your pop in chocolate!"

"Despite the rather French-sounding name of this seafood restaurant, it is actually a Mexican seafood venue. One of the best items on the menu is the Vuelve a la Vida soup, which contains lots of spice and an abundance of mussels, shrimp, octopus, and oysters. Other options you might see on the menu include seafood tacos, charred octopus served with garlic and yucca, lobster with black beans and rice, and traditional Mexican ceviche."

"This Downtown seafood favorite had to close after Hurricane Harvey but fortunately it has made a triumphant comeback!. This restaurant offers fresh seafood and Mexican soul cuisine ..."

"La Fisheria is downtown Houston’s favorite spot for authentic Mexican cuisine, fresh seafood and the best happy hour in town!"

"The first fully air-conditioned mall to be built in Houston, PlazAmericas, previously known as Sharpstown Mall, occupies a space of 83,000 sq ft (7,711 sq m). The mall has a Latin American vibe and caters to Hispanics, which composed the 52% of the population of the three-mile area, where it is located. It features over 150 stores, including Foot Locker, Journeys, Champs Sports, TX America Cinemas, Deli Maxx, Crazy Chicken, and more."

"Mercer Botanic Gardens has an arboretum and gardens where couples can be photographed beautifully with the all of the surrounding foliage in the scenery. The gardens are named after Thelma and Charles Mercer, and there are over 250 acres of land along Cypress Creek. The east side contains the botanic gardens, and the west side has the arboretum."

"The Mercer Botanical Gardens are over 60 acres of manicured and maintained gardens in Humble, TX. If you’re looking for something natural, but not quite wild, then this is the place for you. The colors are beautiful year round as Mercer updates the plant life for the seasons."

"Located at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Rienzi is a separate building that holds the museum’s collection of European decorative arts and paintings. Designed by prominent Houston architect John Staub and nestled on four acres of wooded gardens in the historic River Oaks neighborhood, the former home of philanthropists Carroll Sterling Masterson and Harris Masterson III now houses an impressive collection of European works of art, including paintings, ceramics, decorative arts, and miniatures. Rienzi also offers a variety of educational programs and workshops for adults, as well as lectures, musical performances, and special events throughout the year."

If you or your lover are a fan of the fine arts, then this would be the best place to take your loved one or someone you are dating after a romantic meal. Explore the captivating words of arts and prepare to see and learn the most creative art collection that will make you feel like smiling and tearing up at the same time."

"You don’t even have to walk inside to get the benefits of this part of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston that houses its collection of European decorative arts and paintings. The outside gardens are pretty artistically (and romantically) inspired, too. @btswithkaelaembedded via"
