JuanCarlosVejar Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Folks, Some of you know I was planning a visit to Fuller's last year sadly my girfriend's father fell ill and passed away during the time frame of the trip. So as a result I canceled ... Now I am starting to plan it again .Do any of you guys live in the houston area ? Thanks JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanCarlosVejar Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I was hoping someone could recommend a hotel and a good place to eat ? Or is it really that none of you live in houston ? JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServantOfGod Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I live in Houston, and work near Fuller's. There are a lot of good hotels on the 290 area. Check on priceline or expedia. What type of food are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanCarlosVejar Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Well for the most part nice healthy food but I would like to have some pizza if I can get some . JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Lived there for 11 years. Second vote for Pappasitos. Also - if you want a good $$ steak - Churrasco's on Westheimer. Argentinian. And, if you have the time and are feeling brave - find an ice house on Telephone Road. Al Fresco long necks. (from another LI/NY emigre.)

vw1300 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 If you have a particular kind/ethnic food in mind, let us know. This is a city full of restaurants good and great - The Pappas' establishments already mentioned are reliable and popular, as is Goode's. Houstonian is a very good hotel, maybe a little pricey. Generally you're OK with a major chain out in the suburbs, there is also nice stuff downtown, like the Four Seasons, Doubletree, Hilton etc. The Hilton downtown at Discovery Green is adjacent to a very nice park and restaurant.

ServantOfGod Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 You can find a good deal on priceline or expedia. Look for the hotels on the gelleria area, they are close to Fuller's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETEXAS Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm from Houston, but I've never actually been to Fullers. Personally I'd recommend Taste of Texas on I-10 for a great steak, and I prefer Lupe Tortillas over Pappasitos for TexMex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanp33 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm from Houston, but I've never actually been to Fullers. Personally I'd recommend Taste of Texas on I-10 for a great steak, and I prefer Lupe Tortillas over Pappasitos for TexMex. I recently moved from Houston (I lived there for almost 3 years). I also prefer Lupe Tortillas over Pappasitos. Their beef fajitas sometimes make me wish I never left Texas. I also really like New York Pizzeria as was mentioned above. As far as where to stay, I'd try to find somewhere around the Memorial Park area or Galleria area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServantOfGod Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 How about Gringo's for TexMex food? or even Cinclone Anaya's. I am not a big fan of TexMex since I am more Mex than Tex but those restaurants are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 JC…if you were coming to our area…I'd try to get some local forum guys together for a little guitar music!!! At a minimum, I'd meet you at our version of "Fullers" and we could bang around on some guitars!!!! Why are you Houstonians so anti social….lol…in JC, you get to meet a forum member who has an AMAZING collection of guitars, even though when he posts photos of them in the forum, they always seem to be upside down or backwards or something???????!!!
