Head to Katy Trail Ice House in Uptown to post up outside on their patio with friends, beers, and inevitably a burger or some tacos.

Yutaka is in a strip mall uptown, serves some of the best sushi in the city, and has great lunch specials.

Bubba’s in Park Cities looks like a 50s diner, has a drive-thru, and serves great fried chicken and biscuit sandwiches.

Head uptown to S&D for an old-school space and plenty of fried seafood, as well as fresh oysters.
