Best restaurants near me in Hempstead, TX

We went for a birthday celebration and it was the perfect place to go! Our server was great and the food was amazing! We had 5 apps, 4 different entrees, 2 desserts, 4 lattes, 2 cocktails, 1 bottle of wine and each one was absolute perfection! We forgot to take pics of our food because we were having a great time and didn’t stop for pics…so we recreated them! Enjoy the pics and I hope everyone’s experience was as good as ours!

We had an excellent experience on Christmas Eve. The Deviled Crab was the table’s favorite appetizer followed by the Monkey Bread dredged in the crab’s tomato compote. The Flounder special was cooked perfectly and the portion size was enough to prevent Santa from coming down most chimneys. Don’t sleep on the cabbage side, even if you “don’t like cabbage”. It’s definitely a game changer. The dirty martinis are consistently top notch. Credence should be toward the top of every Must Eat Here list.

Fogo is our Christmas Eve family tradition since 1994. The food quality and service improved greatly from last year's visit. We had a great time. Shout out to Hailey, Bailey, Luis and TJ who took great care of us! Happy Holidays to all.

Steak 48 exceeded all my expectations, providing a dining experience that was nothing short of phenomenal. The highlight of the evening was the impeccable service from Ryjane. She was the epitome of professionalism—attentive, knowledgeable, and flawless in her execution. Her genuine warmth and efficiency elevated the entire experience, making us feel truly valued as guests. The food was equally outstanding! From the perfectly cooked, tender steak to the delectable sides and appetizers, every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s expertise and attention to detail. The flavors were rich and beautifully balanced, and the presentation was just as impressive. Steak 48 is the perfect spot for a special occasion or simply indulging in an unforgettable meal. I can’t recommend it enough, and I’ll definitely be back. Kudos to Ryjane for making the evening truly exceptional!

The ribeye was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The staff were kind and attentive. Enjoyed our experience and will be back again.
