New restaurants pop-up all over Houston daily. Some close within a year, while others close after several years of being the hottest and trendiest restaurant in town. It takes years of dedication and loyal customers to stand the test of time, which is why we're paying tribute to Houston's longstanding restaurants where generations of families have insured their existence today. Ranging from eateries of the early 1900's to late 60's, here's where every Houstonian should dine and take in the city's culinary roots.





A third part of our classic restaurant series featuring landmark institutions established in 1970 to the early 90's is coming. In the meantime, did we miss a restaurant that should have been acknowledged? Sound off in the comments below or in the forum.
