About

Restaurant
For 40 years, Backstreet Cafe has been a Houston dining tradition. It has grown from a "watering hole" with soups, salads, and sandwiches to a critically acclaimed, chef-driven Seasonal American Bistro that is a top table in the city. The kitchen is under the direction of award-winning Executive Chef Hugo Ortega, whose American Dream started at this neighborhood cafe. Always innovating, always updating, Backstreet Cafe has served generations of families and is a communal place to celebrate special occasions and every day with food, friends, and family.

    Backstreet Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat because of the menu, the excellent service from all staff, and the restaurant is very comfortable. My favorite item is the vegetarian plate, with asparagus risotto, roasted cauliflower, corn souffle, and other vegetables cooked to perfection! And the Gumbo is amazing. Every restaurant in the HTown Restaurant is excellent. I've eaten at Hugo's and Caracol as well.

    My first time here wasn’t that great. Well first I wish I would have gotten a table outside. We were sat upstairs next to a very loud table and I couldn’t even hear my husband half the time. The restaurant was extremely busy and my waiter was great but was slow since it was so busy. I almost tripped 3 times going up the small stairs. I wouldn’t recommend sitting up stairs if stairs are hard for you to climb. No elevator for handicapped guest. The food and drinks were great but again the upstairs seating was awful and constant walkway area from staff. We were brought the wrong salad and it was meant for the table behind us. Our meal with tip was $100+. Definitely over priced for the experience we had. Not in a rush to come back. I did want this place to be amazing since I heard such good reviews but I unfortunately was not sat in a desired location and it was so busy little details were missed for this type of pricy foods.
