"Great ribs and music!" by urnlucknow (2 reviews)
August 25, 2009 - Really likes it - We just went back to Houston's again Saturday. Had the ribs and they have got to be the best in the Orlando area! Falling off the bone, tender and perfectly seasoned and sauced! The classy jazz background completed a great dinner!

"I LOVE Houston's" by urnlucknow (2 reviews)
August 03, 2009 - Really likes it - What a cool place! While waiting to be seated on Saturday night we listened to a terrific jazz trio in the lounge, led by bass player Don Waldrop. We watched the sunset over the lake and then went into the main room for dinner. The service was impeccable, the food superb and the location on the lake is gorgeous! Back again soon.

"Food good, service??" by kelseykokkeler (3 reviews)
July 11, 2009 - Likes it - Houston's is known for it's quality and consistency both in the areas of service and food. I have to say that every time I've eaten there the experience has been flawless, but lacking any personal touch. The servers have no personality.

"Great Food, Great Location, Great Price" by nom nom nom (25 reviews)
July 08, 2009 - Likes it - Houston's is one of my favorite places to eat. The location right on the lake is perfect if you time it around sunset. You can drink out by the lake or inside at the bar. Staff has always been very friendly and the food has always been good. Unless they have changed prices recently the price compared to the quality of food is very reasonable.

"Candidly, it's over-rated." by Bob Jordan (29 reviews)
June 15, 2009 - Doesn't like it - Price considered, this restaurant falls short. Food and service are somewhere between OK and good. I'll go there with friends who like the place, but I always leave asking myself 'why did we go there?'

"Best Atmosphere and Awesome Hawaiin Steak" by thought4food (4 reviews)
July 25, 2008 - I love the view and vibe at the steakhouse. Everyone has a great view of Lake Killarney(?) and the food definitely compliments the atmosphere as well. Try the Hawaiin Steak and request to sub the side with 3 beefsteak tomatoes drizzled with basil and olive oil. Awesome!

"Not Just a Pretty View" by BigDog (4 reviews)
June 04, 2008 - Likes it - This is a restaurant that succeeds on so many levels.  The food is simple, but the ingredients are quality and the preparation is consistently excellent.  The management has obviously worked with the staff, because the service is always superior.  The view is fantastic and the atmosphere is relaxed.  I've never had a bad experience at Houston's, which is why I keep going back.
