Perry's Restaurant Group - grown from a single butcher shop on Scarsdale in South East Houston to now over 8 dining locations throughout Houston.

Known for their excellent steaks, Chris' Perry has taken his father's concept and expanded it to become one of Houston's premier places to dine for either the perfect power lunch or a romantic evening with your significant other.

Having had almost everything on the menu over the course of the last 17 years, I can recommend ...... well, everything. Wednesday's lunch, the Pork Chop is a tradition for many. Five fingers in height, this monster chop is marinated and then slow roasted to perfection.

The pecan crusted snapper, Chicken Perry, Seared Ahi Tuna (one of my favorites), Filet Perry's, they are all great.

Perry's has a very unique appetizer you must try. Fried Asparagus. It is served with lump crab meat and lemon. My wife eats one order by herself (her favorite).

Salads (try the warm spinach or the "Pear Salad"), soups, all are very good. Their breads are also excellent.

Leave room for a classic dessert like their signature Mont Blanc, Nutty DiAngelo or Banana's Foster created table side.
