Papa's Pro Steakhouse was a lovely pick for Valentine's Day. Service was genuinely excellent from start to finish and our waiter was attentive. Valet was $10 with two attendants, which felt reasonable given the downtown location. We started with the Spanish octopus carpaccio, and it was absolutely the highlight of the night. It was incredibly fresh, bright, and beautifully citrusy. For mains, we ordered both the ribeye and the filet. The filet clearly stood out: tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, while the ribeye was good but not nearly as memorable. For sides, the mashed potatoes were fantastic and easily one of the best parts of the meal. The creamed spinach had good flavor but leaned a bit too heavy and rich for our taste. The dessert cart was a nice touch and added to the overall experience; we went with the crème brûlée, which was a perfect, classic ending. Overall, a great experience with wonderful service, a few standout dishes, and only minor critiques. Would happily return.

One of the best meals I have ever eaten. Drinks were exceptional. Service was exceptional! Ambiance is wonderful. Had the crab cake for starters. It was delicious! Steaks were cooked to perfection. Can't say enough about the place. We definitely will be back.

Pappas Bros Steakhouse is definitely the perfect choice to have the most extraordinary dining experience in Houston. Valet? Amazing staff Incredibly delicious food Best cocktails We came for a birthday celebration and Marlon was our server, he made sure we got the best diner experience. Perfect restaurant for any type of celebration or business diners. They age all their meat cuts for at least 20 days to guarantee you will get the best flavor. Oh! And did I mention the bar is

Our waiter Greg was nothing short of amazing! This was my first time coming here for restaurant week and not only did Greg really make us want to return but so did the overall food quality. We called last minute to see if they could squeeze us in for a reservation and Angela was able to make it happen! Greg was super knowledgeable about not only the menu but the restaurant and educated us since we did tell him it was our first time! Told him I was pregnant & he recommended pregnancy safe options to eat (no raw seafood). We started off with there turtle gumbo & Cesar salad. However, the Cesar salad was absolutely horrible. It tasted like they picked out the leaves from the garden and put it straight on a plate without washing them. The salad looks fully covered in dressing but it had absolutely ZERO flavor. The dressing did nothing at all to the salad. Definitely do not recommend the Cesar salad at all. This however did not dictate the rest of my meal being disappointed on just the salad. My husband did enjoy his turtle gumbo! I got the 8oz filet and my husband got the 10oz NY strip and they were both amazing. Cooked perfectly to medium rare and seasoned great. We got the French green beans it could have had a little more flavor or butter perhaps but still tasted crunchy and good. For dessert we had the key lime pie & cheesecake. On par with how it should taste like. Now for parking there is valet parking and honestly the only option unless you want to find parking throughout downtown. The restaurant is super dark inside but very intimate for a romantic dinner or family dinner. It was extremely busy on a Saturday night so highly recommend making a reservation. Thank you so much Greg for the amazing service we can't wait to come back!

Incredible experience! I've come here many times and always have incredible service and the lighting and environment is very comforting and beautiful. I had the filet mignon medium rare and it was so buttery and delicious. We had the Brussels sprouts and potatoes as sides and they're incredible. Waiter was so nice and attentive. 10/10 we love it here!

Chocolate cake
Stacey G.

First time and wow. Blown away by how yummy the food was and how amazing the service was as well!! Shared a porterhouse and it was cooked perfectly. Skillet potatoes and broccolini on the side. Desert head chocolate cake for me and creme brûlée for my husband. Both amazing. Was celebrating an early birthday and as a treat they comped the cake. How sweet. The lychee martini was a fabulous way to get the meal started! So good.

This well known spot is a polished classic steakhouse. My first visit here in 2018 made a great impression and the place is still firing on all cylynders. The atmosphere is great... high end but comfortable. Many types of seating options... sit in the bar, in the dining room, at the food bar in front of the kitchen... there's also a private room off the main room. The wine list is one of the best in town... very impressive... full of gems, especially if you have money to burn. There a few affordable choices as well. Excellent wines by the glass. I'm often disappointed at high-end steakhouses... but this place delivers. Not wild about everything here, but overall a great place. Atmosphere, service so great... most of the chow is excellent. My Prime NY Strip... perfectly cooked and amazing quality. Filets were a big hit with my guests. Sides deliver... excellent Mashed Potatoes... Spinach, Brussels, Mac & Cheese too. Crab Cakes ok, not my favorite preparation... I like more simple crab focused, this too fried. Lobster Deviled Eggs not impressive, need to rethink the prep... tiny piece of lobster and a jar of egg yoke to spoon in... kinda dumb idea and not enough lobster. Great Shrimp Cocktail, salads are excellent. Desserts are insanely great. They bring a cart by the table to tempt you. I can't think how anyone could refuse some of these treats... they all look unbelievable. Everything we tried was great, esp. the Cheesecake... It's about 6 inches high, amazing graham cracker crust... flanked with pieces of vanilla chocolate... with a vanilla sauce. Enough for 4 people, esp. after a big meal. The menu is a bit pricey... but worth it. I give a slight edge to this Pappas Brothers over their Westheimer location. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Came here with friends to celebrate a special occasion. 5 stars for great food and excellent service. Will def be back for more.

Where do I even start? I visited for Houston Restaurant Week and, for the most part, thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I was excited because I had heard good things about this steakhouse. The only annoying thing was being seated way at the front, close to other guests waiting to be seated. Anyway, it was a prefix menu, and I got the house salad, steak, and cheesecake. The salad was light, flavorful, and crunchy. I asked for a well-done steak, and it was not cooked to the point of being cremated, which was an A+ in my book. But it was a bit underseasoned. The mashed potatoes were buttery and delicious. The asparagus was, well, an asparagus. Nothing too mouthwatering there. The highlight of my entire meal was actually the cheesecake. The pictures do not capture its size. My only regret is that I was unable to take it to go since I was too full past the point of gluttony and could not safely store it. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would definitely visit again!

Shrimp Cocktail
Kacee T.

The staff was incredibly well trained and so incredibly attentive. I attended a private dinner event here and I was completely blown away by the ambiance and service o was given! In terms of the food it was solid, nothing incredibly memorable. For cocktails I tried the Verte 75 which is good if you like something refreshing and minty/cucumbery. The lychee martini was really just a vodka mixed with lychee syrup and raspberry popping boba so if you're into that go for it but I personally would opt for a more snazzy cocktail. Overall, I'd comeback for the experience mainly. Parking was valet: $10-15 depending on how long you stay and $32 for the general public.

Is there a charge for splitting plates?

No and they even offered to cut our 16oz ribeye steak when we expressed we wanted to split our meal:)

How is the parking?

Use the Valet, cost is similar to parking in the area but much lower hassle

Is the pianist there every night or just weekends?

I know normally weekends I went on a Friday

Sometimes a good dinner at the bar is all you need, and 48 definitely understood the assignment!…read more Stopped in for dinner and treated myself to the fried lobster and a cocktail. The lobster was the star of the evening! There's something about a good seafood dish, a well made drink, and being able to sit at the bar and enjoy your own company that makes for a lovely night out. I also appreciate restaurants where you can have a full dining experience without necessarily needing a table or a special occasion. Sometimes you just want to pull up a barstool, order something delicious, and enjoy your evening. Definitely a nice option for a solo dinner, a casual date, or an evening out when you're in the mood to indulge a little. And yes, I'm always here for a restaurant that makes dining at the bar feel like an experience of its own. Good seafood and a cocktail will get me every time!

It was very underwhelming and quite disappointing. I also ordered the whipped sweet potatoes and the crispy shrimp. Crispy they were not and they weren't good they weren't either..

We…read morestopped in during a crawl and ended up lingering longer than planned, which feels like the best compliment you can give a place. We enjoyed a glass or two of wine, tossed some darts, and soaked in the relaxed, unpretentious vibe. It is casual in the right way. Easy to talk, easy to stay, and not trying too hard to be anything other than a solid local bar. The real highlight, though, is Posty the bar cat. An adorable black and white cat who clearly runs the place. Getting to know Posty outside was an unexpected and genuinely charming moment that made the stop memorable. If you are a cat person, this alone will win you over. Even if you are not, it is hard not to smile. Great drinks, darts, friendly energy, and a bar cat that steals the show. Post Beer & Wine is exactly the kind of place you hope to find when hopping around Houston, and absolutely worth a stop even if you are not on a crawl.

Outstanding dinner. Food was perfectly prepared and service was excellent. Highly recommend !read more

Me and a friend came here on a whim. We were in Houston and was headed to one place when we…read morestumbled across this place. We walked and and you had to have reservations however they had 2 spots at the bar upstairs so we sat there. It was a fine dining place and we were a bit casual but still nice where we didn't stick out so terribly..lol SERVICE: We were probably at the bar I would say at least 10 mins before anyone greeted us. And 2 ladies to our right may have been there I would say about 15 mins before us, only b/c they didn't have anything in front of them just yet. Looked like thwy hadn't been there long, however, evwrytime I turned around this guy kept checking on them making sure they were good. He seemed to be some sort of manager. Anyhoo, finally a server came and greeted us. She had a unique name that now I have forgotten, but anyhoo, she was really nice. It was restaurante month there so we took advantage of there pre-made menu that came with a 3 course meal excluding drinks. We were served our drinks and not to long our apps. And the ladies next to us may have been 5 mins in between us ordering. However their food would come out fast. Once our apps were finished I know it had to have been 20 mins or longer before our food came out whereas the ladies next to use finished there apps not to long before us and had their food in the next 10 mins or so. They were actually just about done eating their main course and our food hadn't even came out yet. Then a server brought us over the desserts and I was like we hadn't had our meal yet. At this point I was a bit upset b/c I felt like since we were 2 women of color we were being over looked. There wasn't many ppl of color in this place. Matter-of-fact I think I only saw one other table that had ppl of color sitting at it. Other than that it was just us. So I th3n ask for a manager. He came, same guy that had been fawning over the ladies next to us, amd he gave some lame excuse for th3 delay and mix up with the desserts and offered us a glass of Champagne, I don't even like Champagne, he could have offered either a drink of our choice of maybe a bit off the bill for the delay. I understood it was busy, but they also know it was restaurant week and they wasn't a delay with the ladies next to us. So I felt like he was a bit dismissive and I did t appreciate it. If it hadn't been for the service or our waiter we might not have stayed. FOOD: Now I will say the food was soo good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the beef salad although it came stacked and looked so great and my friend had the meatballs which she raved about. For dinner we both had the salmon which was superb. So no complaints here. Then the desserts. I had the carrot cake and she had the chocolate genache cake. They were delightful AMBIANCE: It was packed but not uncomfortable it was just a lot of ppl. But it also was quite a big place. They had a downstairs, upstairs and an outside area, so lots of seating, however they were extremely full. The bar was quite roomy and luckily we were able to take the end corner part which was perfect, b/c not a lot of ppl passing by us. Like we had our own little section. All in all is was nice, I would only go back during restaurant month or with a date who was paging b/c outside the prepaid menu which was $55 (not including drinks) most meals went from $40-$200pp and that is no exaggeration. So yea it was quite the fine dining experience.

Dan was absolutely incredible. So personable and so kind. Anytime we asked for a food suggestion or…read morea drink suggestion he gave us the best options and was so honest as well. The food was delicious the pastas were great. I think we literally ordered everything off the menu. We had the oysters on a half shell calabrian chili mignonette and that was a good 7 out of 10. It had a tangy or citrus aftertaste I didn't like too much. We have the Polpette which are classic meatballs with tomato sauce and with ricotta. I'd say these were a good 9 out of 10. A solid meatball with good flavor. Robust. Rich. The rigatoni ala vodka was delicious. It had tomato cream sauce with Parmigiano-Reggiano and it's a good 9 out of 10. We actually had a second order of this! The Caesar salad was delicious and rich. All the flavors and seasonings on top.. just like I like it. Every lettuce was covered in Caesar dressing and it was super yummy. The cacio e pepe was yummy. I had a parmigiano and black pepper. Overall the pastas were just really delicious. I would give this a 10 out of 10. We ordered another round of this one as well. The Tuscan fried Chicken had artichokes and lemon and garlic aioli and we would say this is a solid 9 out of 10 as well. It was well fried and well coated with good ingredients and flavor. The veil Bolognese was okay. Not my favorite but it wasn't bad. But definitely not something I would order again. Maybe a 7 out of 10. We also had the grilled shrimp skewers that were covered in Olive oil, salt, calabrian garlic butter, and lemon. A solid 8 out of 10. I mean, I know you can mess up shrimp but.. not shrimp skewers. So these were quite yummy. I will certainly visit again because we just had these happy hour items since we were there for business meeting. I would love to have dinner and see how that menu is!

We…read morewere seated outside, but it took over 20 minutes for anyone to come by our table just to take our drink order, which was frustrating. The biggest surprise was toward the end of dinner when a cockroach jumped onto our table. Definitely not ideal, especially for a restaurant at this price point. We ended up moving inside to finish our wine at the bar, and I will say the atmosphere inside was MUCH better. There was live music, and it made the space feel lively and fun. The food itself was good, and we enjoyed our dinner, but overall I felt the prices were high for the level of service we received. I think there's potential here, especially with the great indoor atmosphere and live music, but I'd hope the service and cleanliness issues were just an off night.
