Food was incredible, everything was amazing. Crispy Shrimp deviled eggs were soooo good. Steaks were perfect - tender, flavorful, cooked to perfection. Only thing that wasnt 5 star - service was good - but no exceptional. Waiter spoke so fast it was difficult to understand him. Lacked that personal touch...

This review is for January 6th, 2025. As stated in the rating, Pappa's Steakhouse is a 5-Star restaurant...I believe it's because they earn it! Attention to every detail is apparent from the generous (and scrumptious) appetizer (Crab bisque this evening), to the chocolate-coated spoon & fresh-baked almond cookie that came with our Cappuccino. And if you've ever had the urge for a Veal Chop, this is the place to go! Finally, a five-star review wouldn't be complete without a shout-out to the pastry/dessert chef at Pappa's. Their desserts are original & creative, and even the Key Lime pie is stamped with a unique Pappa's presentation, and it is possibly the best in Houston! Celebrate a birthday, and maybe get treated to some of the best chocolate-covered strawberries you've ever had as well! Thanks to all the servers and staff for making this birthday celebration a memorable one!
