How I review
Every review on this site follows the same rules.
I pay for every visit
I pay with my own money, and the business doesn't know I'm coming. There are no sponsored reviews here, and no business can pay for a review or a better score.
The scale
Scores are whole numbers from 1 to 10.
| Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 9–10 | Worth driving across Houston for |
| 7–8 | Great — go if you're nearby |
| 5–6 | Fine, but I wouldn't plan around it |
| 3–4 | Wouldn't go back |
| 1–2 | Avoid |
Price
Price level is per person. Exact prices for what I ordered are in each review.
- $
- Under $15

What's in a review
- A verdict box: the score, a one-line verdict, who it's best for, the address, and the price level.
- My take: what I ordered, did, or bought, with prices, and a practical tip.
- The date I visited and the date the review was last updated. If I go back, I add the revisit date.
- A short video when I have one.
I don't list opening hours because they change. Check with the business before you go.
