Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in The Infatuation. Updated August 2026.
CasaEma · The Heights
The Infatuation's a Houston breakfast institution, a Mexican bakery with blue-corn conchas and horchata-filled donuts.
The Breakfast Klub · Midtown
The Midtown institution for crispy catfish and grits and chicken and waffles, weekend waits and all.
Laredo Taqueria · Rice Military
plenty of the standout flour tortillas in town, wrapped around bacon, chorizo, or spicy potato breakfast tacos.
Avalon Diner · River Oaks
A Westheimer institution running since 1938, started as a drugstore soda fountain before growing into a full diner. Chicken fried steak, fluffy pancakes, and French toast are served morning through night, much as they have been for decades on Westheimer.
House of Pies · Upper Kirby
A 24 hour Kirby Drive diner running more than 50 years, known as much for chicken fried steak and eggs as for the pie case up front. A round the clock Houston tradition that has outlasted most of its diner era peers.
