3106 Old Spanish Trail, (713) 747-6800; www.guysseasoning.com
A full-service meat market, Guy’s not only offers some of the freshest cuts in town, but also smokes one of the best burgers. (We’re not lying!) With barbecue and burgers that line patrons up out the door, this unassuming spot just around the corner from Reliant Stadium has been making regulars out of visitors for more than 80 years. (Just know, there aren’t any tables here. So, take your coveted meal outside for a picnic in the lawn.)
