    Ms. Betty's was a late-night discovery when we first visited Houston. Although it may not seem like much from the outside or based on the area it's in, trust me when I say it's worth the trip. The biggest things you need to be aware of are (1) it's cash only (2) about half of their items can be ordered a la carte (3) there isn't much of a dining room (this is strictly a grab and go) (4) and if you come late at night, be prepared to order. This is a no-nonsense, direct experience. It's not a place to feel warm and fuzzy. Their food isn't gourmet by any means, but it's certainly better than most fast food options and also less expensive. I really enjoyed their fish sandwich ($6.50) that was 90% fresh white fish fillet with a thin layer of cornmeal for a slight crunch. You absolutely have to try their chili cheese fries too. For $10 you get a huge portion of fries that are slightly soft but retained their crinkle, tons of gooey cheddar cheese, and perfectly seasoned chili. It's more than enough for two people to enjoy as a main dish. If you're looking for a late night spot or just need a snack, you can't go wrong with Ms. Betty's.

    This is a very hole in the wall, no frills restaurant. It is very old school and you order and take your food to go. Seems like one of the few actual late night places (closes at 3am). The owner, I assume ms betty, has a very get shit done attitude, which I enjoyed. She RUNS the restaurant and will tell you what's up. I'm sure her attitude can be off putting but she chatted with me and gave my partner and I free sodas. Turns out she's an immigrant from Macau and had been in Houston for 35 years, so hats off to her! Foodwise, they have burgers, wings, and various dinner platters all at very affordable prices. I got chili cheese fries and a hamburger and both were excellent. The fries were crisp with nacho cheese sauce and chili on top and the burger was very large and tasty. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to when I have cravings in the middle of the night!

French bakeries, in general, make me throw all diet caution into air and go crazy with food-  but, not this particular Paris Baguette- not my favorite Variety is great, no doubt. Staff is super sweet and friendly.No problem there either.  The food itself:   For example- I bought the garlic croissant excited that it would be savory and interesting, but it came with a sugar coating ! No... Then the simple bread and butter, soft and all, but that also has a sweet tinge...I got the NY cheese cake, found it too hard.., a cake, I forgot which one , it was dry....So... I love to go here, because I can avoid going crazy..... ha ha..... I am fond of their soufflé cheesecake and the rainbow cake- haven't had any trouble with those yet.  Today I tried their berry croffle, melt in the mouth, light sweet, just right !Also, would like to try their baguettes, I reallyy hope those don't have sugar tinge in them.  Keep savory as savory and sweet and sweet, separate, why make all savory sweet too !  The color of the chairs sets the French tone. They have a vast selection and there is so much I am yet to try.  Its pretty popular in the area so am sure I will be brought back by others,  like a place to meet for coffee or something....

Clearly the glass had not been properly cleaned. I brought it to the bartender's attention and while she offered to remake the drink, there was no apology beyond that, no refund offer, and honestly no sense of urgency or concern about serving a dirty glass. By that point, I was completely put off and declined the replacement. I understand mistakes happen, but cleanliness at a bar should be the bare minimum, especially when it comes to drinkware. Unfortunately, this experience ruined the visit for me and I won't be returning.

    My child got a coupon from a school function for a free regular sub. He REALLY wanted a meatball…read moresub, unfortunately, they do not offer these here. He picked a buffalo chicken sub instead. Unfortunately agin, we got to the register and the girl notified us that the free sub coupon wasn't for this location. (OMG!) She said that each one is individually owned and they couldn't honor the coupon. I didn't want to spend $11+ for a sub we expected to be free. Luckily she mentioned the app and I fortunately had enough points I could redeem for a free regular sub! So needless to say, the staff were friendly, wish the coupon could have been honored and personally I wouldn't have paid $11 for a regular sub but that's just me so I doubt we'll be back.

    Ok so I've been to this Jersey Mike's several times and each time it's been a solid choice. I…read moreusually go back and forth between the Italian sandwich and the beef cheesesteak. Both are so good. The Italian has so many meats on it and it's such a filling meal. No matter which sandwich I get, I always add mayo, lettuce, pickles, chili peppers, salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar. The people making the sandwiches always ask about the toppings whether it's a hot or cold sub. But this last visit was very different. I think the guy helping us might have been new, but honestly, this might have been my last time going. I'm not sure I can look past what happened. It was hard for him to even take the order. He couldn't hear the people in front of us or anything we were saying. We had to repeat ourselves more than once. That part is fine, not really his fault. I finally get my cheesesteak order in, and while that's cooking, they start making my husband's sandwich. The guy is wearing gloves, which is good, but then he stops and adjusts his hat without changing them. Then he goes right back to making the sandwich. At this point, he has mayo and toppings on his hat from the gloves, and now he's using those same gloves to keep working. While I'm watching all this, I miss them wrapping up my sub. But it turns out they didn't add any of the toppings I asked for. The girl rolls her eyes, tears the sub open, and has the same guy start adding the toppings. Still using the same dirty gloves he touched his hat with. Maybe that doesn't seem like a big deal to some people, but to me, it's just gross.
