My wife and I recently dined at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse in Houston, and it was hands-down the best steak dinner we’ve ever had at a restaurant. From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere was elegant and welcoming; perfect for our date night. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made us feel right at home without being overbearing. We both went for New York strips (Wife: boneless, Myself: Bone-In) cooked to absolute perfection: juicy, flavorful, and with that ideal char on the outside. The steaks were phenomenal but the sides elevated the meal. The au gratin potatoes topped with jalapeños added a subtle kick that balanced the richness beautifully. We also tried the broccolini with almonds and Parmesan (an off-menu gem, ask for it!), which was fresh, crunchy, and bursting with nutty, cheesy goodness. And the crab macaroni and cheese BAM! It was creamy, indulgent, and loaded with fresh crab, making it a standout side that could almost be a meal on its own. To pair with dinner, my wife enjoyed a light and sweet Moscato, while I opted for a Malbec. Everything that came out of the kitchen was executed flawlessly; Pappas Bros. truly nails the basics and then some, knocking it out of the park with quality ingredients and precise preparation. We capped off the evening with the turtle mousse tart for dessert—a decadent, chocolatey delight with caramel and pecans that was the perfect sweet ending without being overly heavy. Overall, this was an amazing experience and about as solid a 5-star meal as you can get. Wow. If you’re craving an excellent steakhouse dinner in Houston, Pappas Bros. will become your go-to spot. Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back.

Quite disappointing. It was a busy evening, but the venue was huge and looked properly staffed - however, service was of the quality of an Applebees or so. No one was welcoming, except the managers. From the hostess, to the seater, to the server - no one greeted us, smiled, or showed any other gesture that made us feel we were in an upscale restaurant. We ordered bottled water and a bottle of wine. That took about 15 minutes to come. After that initial pour, we were on our own. It was set up in a cooling stand, so we couldn't reach it ourselves without getting up. But our glasses stood empty for 15-20 min segments multiple times and I literally had to flag over any staff member I could to replenish our glasses. We ordered the lobster bisque, caesar salad, iceberg slab, A5 wagyu and bone-in ribeye along with mashed potatoes and onion rings. Food was ok but a bit bland. They definitely go classic "salt and pepper" on the steaks. They skipped all of the frills for us. No one offered us fresh cracked pepper for our salads or soup, and didn't get the dessert cart presentation. After we were done eating, we literally waited unattended for 30 minutes, no exaggeration. Again, I had to flag a random staff member over to ask for the check. At this point, we were beyond ready to go. The staff member alerted the manager who came over to apologize for the experience and comped our desserts. $500+ for an awful experience.

Excellent food and excellent service. Our server, Greg, took great care of us and talked us through our menu options. My steak was cooked perfectly with a terrific crust. Definitely a great spot for dinner.

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. I do not give many 5 stars but this place is deserving of one. 46 oz tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. The serving plate was hot and salted which helped with the temperature and taste. Appetizers and desert were both well worth having to start and end the meal. Sides were good but not great and they were the lows of the meal.
