Excellent food, huge portions and very nice people.
Havana Bistro 555
This place makes some killer burgers. Give them a try if you are in the area.
welcome to our houston,tx location!
This location has a new manager, and she is getting it done right. Sometimes you just need a thin crust pepperoni or some pepperoni puffs. Give them a shot. It will be worth the calories.
Little Caesars Pizza
This is our favorite Chinese buffet. The food is consistent and hot. I enjoy their sesame chicken and egg drop soup. If you like hibachi, build your own bowl. Give them a try.
China Sea Hibachi Buffet
This place is a nice addition in the fast food/casual arena. The fries are crinkle cut and crisp and hot. If you liked Fuddruckers, get their cheese sauce to dip the fries. The hotdogs remind me of a Hebrew National, or other premium brand. They have...
Portillo's Willowbrook
This place is a sleeper in the Chinese food arena. Portions are huge, as my wife and I usually split one. Some of the best Sesame Chicken I have had in Houston. They have blended fruit drinks, and canned drinks. Most items less than $10 with drink a...
CHINA WOK - Updated August 2025 - 44 Photos & 51 Reviews
This place is great for Italian food, and the staff are so nice. My wife likes their spaghetti and meat sauce and I'm more a fan of the chicken Alfredo. Give them a try.
Adriatic Cafe Italian Grill
Do you like Chuy's creamy jalapeño salsa? If yes, try this place. They have a creamy salsa that is incredible. Their Barbacoa is wonderful. I usually get the Barbacoa quesadilla, but I enjoy their enchiladas suiza too. Prices are low compared to othe...
La Malagueña Mexican Grill - Restaurant Reviews
Local bbq joint that does not get the traffic it deserves. They have great bbq and sides. Our daughter has always loved their Mac and cheese. Give them a try.
It's Ribs
Fun place with varied menu options. The staff is so friendly. Lots of themed decor, and the food is delicious. Give them a try.
Neko bento
Excellent local Mexican restaurant, with excellent food and friendly staff. You can't go wrong with any of their dishes.
Las Mañanitas Mexican Restaurant
Not exactly NW Houston but a good spot on the north side. People are nice and food is solid. Give them a try if you are in the area.
Rico's Mexican Grill - Spring
There are multiple locations for this place, but this one seems to have a good selection from opening to close. Our favorites are the cream cheese and sausage and cheese.
Karma Kolache
This is a great little place with nice atmosphere. The food is fantastic, and they have the best togo bags to keep your order safe and secure at pickup. Give them a try.
Bo Bo Garden
I know, I know, MacDonalds is not a list worthy place, right. But, this is a 24 hour location, even for dine in. If you are out late working or just having fun, remember that you can drop in this location for a drink, coffee, whatever you want at 3 a...
McDonald's
Home and garden
This is one of the best Ace Hardware locations in all of Houston. They have everything from pet supplies, clothing, yard equipment, hardware stuff, and did I forget to mention Fudge. It's worth a trip to visit and take a look around.
Cypress Ace Hardware
If you need building materials, plumbing, electrical, insulation, try these guys. I bought all insulation from them at a great price. I like that they sell screws and nails by the pound, if you just need a few.
Martin's Hardware and Lumber
Are you a do-it-yourselfer? If yes, give this place a shot. They have refurbished materials from remodels, as well as new items, especially tile and assorted fasteners. They restock regularly, so you never know what you will find. There are others sc...
Habitat for Humanity ReStore
For those of you that like the occasional project around the house, I can't recommend this place enough. I buy a lot of fasteners, pvc fittings, and even lumber when needed, from here. They are small and a lot quicker to get in and out if you only ne...
McCoy's Building Supply
For those of you with Kawasaki 180v engines on yard equipment, they tend to get clogged with old, stale fuel, and it's impossible to fully clean them. This kit has filters, new lines, and is an easy install. My mower starts first or second pull after...
Carburetor for Kawasaki FJ180V Mower 15004-0962
For Exmark users, this mulching blade is a top performer. It mulches and cuts tough grasses easily. One thin to keep in mind, it appears to be a milder steel than some of the Oregon and Gator blades, but for the price, it is a much better performer t...
MaxPower 331387XB Mulching Blade 21 in Toro
Clothing
Clothing and related personal items.
Dickies were always my Dad's choice, but I broken down and tried them out. T-shirts are the highest quality and I love their jeans. They are a great value, and always a good price. Don't forget to check the sales racks in the back of the store. When ...
Dickies Retail Store
I'm always looking for a bargain. This place never disappoints. I've bought shower curtains and rods, deodorant, socks, you name it, and all a great prices. This is one place I can find loose fitting cotton night gowns for my wife. They always have a...
Shoppers World
Over 20 years ago, Katy Mills was the place to go. Today, this outdoor outlet mall in Cypress is the place. They have everything from the high end stores to children's shops. If you don't like their food choices, Cypress has lots of options close to ...
