Pappadeaux has great seafood, and a location inside Terminal E. Venturing out a little bit, Pappasitos and Mama Ninfa's are great stops for Mexican food. Goode Co has a few locations around town and is generally recognized as a barbecue institution around here. Marble Slab Creamery is a national chain, but started in Houston and is a great ice cream stop. If you stop by the grocery, get a pint of Blue Bell ice cream ... the best on the planet. Despite the name, New York Pizzeria is a local place with good thin-crust pizzas with a wide variety of toppings. On a budget, Chacho's is great for Mexican food ... more than you can possibly eat for less than $10. My fast food faves are Chick-Fil-A, Jack in the Box, and Taco Cabana. Also try Taqueria Arandas for affordable Mexican. There are zillions of hole-in-the-wall Mexican places around ... if you're feeling adventurous, try your luck.
