Great food!

by JamesNethery

Houston's in Winter Park Florida has always been a favorite of mine. The food is great and the service is good most of the time. I usually order one of their tasty burgers and fries and on special occasions I'll order some of their mouth-watering barbecued baby-back "fall of the bone" ribs. Some great appetizers to look for are the spinach artichoke dip and chips and the smoked salmon which comes with crackers and tartar sauce.

The entrees and appetizers are pricey but it's worth it. My only complaints is that it's often very crowded and you have to wait a while to be seated. The service is usually good but once in a while your food takes longer then usual to get to you.

In conclusion, Houston's is a wonderful restaurant and is perfect for dates and other special occasions (such as birthdays).

• Pros: Great entrees and appetizers
• Cons: Long waits on busy days, service is sometimes slow, often crowded and as a result it's hard to find a place to park.

Hang out with doctors and lawyers while experiencing high-end but casual dining in Winter Park.

In Short
Savor a juicy steak or pork chops cooked to perfection on a hickory grill in a lodge atmosphere while sitting back in a red leather booth by candlelight and listening to pianists perform jazz. Watch chefs prepare meals in the open kitchen or catch the game on one of the high-definition TVs in the bar. Besides steaks and pork chops, the restaurant has minimized its menu offerings, which also include seafood, burgers, salads and desserts.

Best ambience in Orlando!

by ds100

Great service in a very casual atmosphere. The food is always tastey and never is cooked and or prepared differently. Consistent taste! Prompt service on weekends tend to be slow for seating and food! Price is worth the taste and quality of food.

• Pros: Food is always good
• Cons: Crowded on weekends

Counter Houston Review - Dont Appreciate HubDubs bashing a local mecca.

by alhrocks

The guy that did not know how to write in anything but capital also knows nothing about taste. Houstons will be around alot longer than Flemings. Everyone I know that has eaten at Flemings says its "OK" but nothing special. Your probably some little yuppie s-c-u- m who thinks they know something about flavor when you don't even have a pallet. By the way, its Flemings not Roy Flemings. Your probably the same Loser who thinks Del Frisco is better than Ruth's because Jonathan Morgan hangs out there. Flippin HubDub. Heres the official Roy Flemings website just in case your interested you dunce.

P.S. I don't even like Key Lime pie but Houstons Key Lime pie is bar none the best of the best

TOTALLY NOT IMPRESSED!!!!

by jsracer

ATMOSPHERE WAS GOOD, BUT (AND THIS IS A STRONG BUT!!!!)

THE MAIN COURSE TOOK TOO LONG TO GET TO OUR TABLE (45 MIN; I CANCELLED MY ORDER)

PRESENTATION WAS ON THE AVERAGE OF AN OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE.

THE TASTE (ACCORDING TO MY DATE) WAS "NOTHING SPECIAL".

MY ADVICE IS SAVE SOME MONEY AND GO UP THE ROAD TO ROY FLEMINGS.

THIS WAS MY FIRST AND LAST VISIT.

nice

by theresax

Went here for dinner last night after reading some yelp reviews and had a great meal. We started off w/ the smoked salmon appetizer which a huge portion and really tasty. I ordered the thai steak salad (w/ avocados, mango, noodles, peanuts) which was really good but very spicy so be careful. My bf order the ny strip w/ mash potatoes and a side of cole slaw ? everything was awesome, we definitely overate but I don?t care, it was all really good. Service was fast and friendly.

• Pros: food, service
• Cons: no reservations

Great food-best chili on Saturdays

by bbq_critic

Have tried the eggless caesar salad, chili, burgers and fries. All were excellent. Ambience was terrific, service is friendly and efficent. Crowded much of the time however due to its popularity.

What a joke.

by feanorfm

Not worth the time, and that is if you can find parking. Typical chain fare, extremely overpriced, and poor service. Server both aloof and rude, food (ribs) were cold upon delivery, as were drink glasses empty for a majority of the meal. Many vacant tables on the floor, with a 30 minute wait; this place screams of poor management. View was good - but there are plenty of places you can watch a sunset and not pay $30+ per person. Orlando has many great restaurants for a romantic meal, this is not one of them.

• Pros: View, Wine List
• Cons: Slow, Rude Service, $13 Hamburgers?, Parking

It has it all

by insomniac31

My wife and I love this place. The food is always great and you just can't beat that view of the lake. Try the knife and fork ribs, they just fall off the bone, the artichoke dip is a favourite too. They have managed to get the price at just the right level for this kind of restaurant unlike some of the other steak places that are around Winter Park which are WAY over priced.

• Pros: great food, good service, the lake view
• Cons: limited parking, usually busy
