We ended up in this restaurant in a very unlikely way but things do happen for a reason, right?
It all started two nights ago. I was at a store buying a Christmas present for my 2-year old daughter. After going back to my car, I spotted a really nice pickup truck parked next to me, and a couple of guys standing there just outside. One of them asked me if I could help him to jumpstart his truck. That was a little unexpected, but hey! If I was the one needing help I would like the other guy to say yes. So I did.
After some minutes, finally the truck started and we were ready to go.
Suddenly this other guy comes and gives me a handwritten note: “Dinner for 2 @ Grazia. Adrian”. I didn’t get. So he explained he has this Italian place and he was inviting us for helping out his pal. That was really nice but also unexpected.
Next day I was really hesitant. I don’t do this to get something in return. But I love trying new places so I decided to go ♂️
I DO NOT REGRET MY DECISION AT ALL :) Place was really nice. Food was fantastic. Staff is super friendly. Even Adrian was there and came to say hi. They actually took care of everything including the bill. So I left a thank you note and a nice tip in return.
I’d definitely recommend this place and for sure I’ll go back.

A local recommended this place to us and we were glad we tried it. The food was reasonably priced with good-sized portions. The atmosphere was low-key and casual. It was such a great meal that we came back the next day. I would highly recommend you try Rudy’s!

First time in this restaurant. I lived in Louisiana maybe 20 yrs ago...so we decided to try this restaurant. Atmosphere is good, our waitress was nice, not too aggressive, soft spoken. I ordered just a salad with their in house ranch dressing, it's good...my hubby ordered steak and surf he said it's good too, quiet restaurant and i love it but little pricey. But I definitely will recommend or we will be going back.
7. Nobi Public House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 144 reviews
Reviewed By M Q - Houston, Texas
Well over 50 beers on tap, always changing. Nobi has a website which includes a live tap list, but its usually outdated. The chalkboard lists everything, so you'll see a lot of folks wandering over and studying it. The bar on the side where you enter is too high for the stools, so its better to sit on the other (newer) side of the horseshoe-shaped bar area. They replaced all the brewery tap handles with generic plain ones, so now its harder to find my faves at a quick glance. It was probably too hard to keep up wont all the keg changes. Pork fries and the Nobi dog are great, although not diet-friendly. Never slow service--often more employees than customers. Tuesday after 4pm they have a pork chop/rice/pint of beer special for $7 or so; Sundays they have pho starting in late morning.

We spent 5 days in Friendswood visiting family. During that time period we visited this establishment 4 times, all of which we had great services and amazing food and drinks. Our last trip was our favorite. Haley was an awesome bartender. My boyfriend and I are from the OBX, NC so we were not familiar with any of the beers in Texas. Haley was very helpful in finding us beers to match our taste buds! The vampire taco and fried Mac-n-cheese were amazing too! Thanks Haley for such an awesome experience and helping me find my new favorite beer!
10. Lupe Tortilla's
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 212 reviews
Reviewed By Nancy H - Dillon, Colorado
Not only were the shrimp tacos made of fresh puffy crispy corn tortillas with plump smoky gulf shrimp, but the beans were whole and creamy in a smoky sauce with pork, and the rice was seasoned and not clumpy. I tried my husband's Tex Mex plate. Fresh corn tortillas and tamales with complex ancho sauce were wonderful. Start with fresh hot thin chips, pico salsa and churro beans...I wish they had one in my town! Didn't get drinks for lunch but the menu had a lot of margaritas. Pricing seems fine to me. Josh was a super waiter - attentive, not intrusive, fun. Managing partner even stopped by to check on us. Obviously cares about the quality.
