A Texas favorite, Frito pie made its national debut in 1946. This tasty dish features Fritos, chili, and cheese and is served at restaurants and concession stands across the state. The eateries serving Frito pie near our Houston apartments include:
Jus' Mac
When Jus' Mac opened, it became the first macaroni and cheese restaurant in Houston. But don't let the name fool you. The restaurant also serves an array of other delicious dishes. You'll find the chefs add a twist to their Frito pie. It's served on a burger patty and features Fritos, pickles, onions, and cheese sauce. Jus' Mac opens daily at 11:00 a.m.
The Pit Room
Don't miss dining at The Pit Room. Texas Monthly named it one of the "top 50 barbecue joints in Texas." Pitmaster and Executive Chef Bram Tripp prepares homemade recipes. He only uses the finest meat and cooks it to perfection using custom-made barrel-style offset smokers. The restaurant also offers a warm, vibrant setting. You can dine inside or out, and the service is always fast and friendly. For dinner, enjoy the loaded Frito pie. It comes topped with your choice of chopped beef or pulled pork.
State Fare Kitchen & Bar
Featuring a casual dining experience, State Fare is a fun place to share a meal with friends. It offers fabulous happy hour specials, and televisions carry the night's best sporting action.
