Pappa’s Grill Steakhouse - Great Ribeye
We made trip #2 out to Pappa’s less famous Houston steakhouse. The Sbragia Cabernet was wonderful with my bone-in ribeye. Amy had the asparagus side, and I had some lovely mushroom caps. She went for the filet oscar, a nice petite filet mignon with a lemon-butter sauce and crab meat. She said it was wonderful, but a bit on the lemony side.
I thought my rib eye steak was excellent, although the texture wasn’t quite as tender as I prefer, and it was a bit under seasoned. Again, they have crappy table salt and pepper, but I got them to fetch some fresh crushed black pepper which made a huge difference. We skipped the horseradish mashed potatoes, which again sounded good, and also skipped all the wonderful appetizers, hoping to save room after my 32 oz steak for some dessert.
We ended up sharing a plate for dessert. The new york cheese cake, with fresh strawberries and a grand manier sauce was very yummy. Amy didn’t like the cinnamon on the crust, but she managed to eat her way around that. All in all, another delightful meal. The back’s up my opinion of them as being one of the top 10 best steakhouses in Houston.
