Houston’s has been an Austin favorite since its opening in the summer of 1986 at the corner of Burnet Road and Anderson Lane. The menu is varied. A comfortable mix of excellence and informality defines the dining atmosphere.
Though associated with Hillstone Restaurant Group, the distinction of Houston’s Austin is its local and individual ownership. From the beginning, with the assistance of an exceptional team of employees, Tim Bartlett has piloted every aspect of its operation with care and enthusiasm. Chances are, if you ask when you dine at Houston’s, “Mr. Bartlett” is on hand and would enjoy greeting you and answering any question you have. Or write him care of this site: blogmeister2408 “at” yahoo.com , or at Austin “at” Hillstone.com .
You may also contact the manager, Alan Thomas, directly at the latter e-mail address.
