About Houston Picks
Houston Picks is an independent guide to Houston’s best local businesses, in short lists for locals and newcomers alike.
Houston has everything, and too much of it: thousands of restaurants, clinics, contractors and shops spread over six hundred square miles. Finding a business is easy. Knowing which one is worth the drive is the hard part, and that is what Houston Picks is for.
What you’ll find here
Short lists of the best local businesses in Houston, by category: taquerias and pho spots, pediatric dentists, auto shops, roofers, immigration lawyers, dance schools and many more. New lists are added every week.
Why short lists
Because you don’t need two hundred options, you need a few good ones near you. A short list leaves room to choose by neighborhood or budget without reading every review on the internet.
Who it’s for
For Houstonians who just moved across town, for people new to the city who don’t have their places yet, and for anyone in town for the Rodeo, a game or a hospital visit at the Medical Center who wants to get it right.
Independent
Businesses don’t pay to be on our lists. If one buys a featured spot, it is labeled as such and does not change how the rest are ranked.
