The best of the best! Get there early, cause they sell out quick.
Best BBQ I've ever tried. We even had it catered at our wedding reception. Gotta try the ribs + mac n cheese.

If you're looking for the best tex-max, Pappasito's is it.
It's on the pricier side, but you're paying for quality--try going on a Wednesday for half price fajitas for the best deal in town.
Make sure to try the queso, fajitas, and grand gold margs.

The dine in unlimited sushi/food for 2 hours option for under $30 is the best deal in town.
Amazing food, location, and staff. You can literally eat as much Japanese food as you want in 2 hour + the awesome staff will bring it to your table (no need to get up for buffet line).
Sushi, sashimi, apps, hibachi..
Local trick, just order the sashimi with no rice.

Sightseeing
Houston, we have a problem. Seriously, NASA is awesome. It's a 2+ hour drive round trip. But, I think it's the best tourist site in Houston.
If you book ahead of time, you can pay extra to go on the NASA special tour. Dine with astronauts.. visit sites off limits to the public. Get driven around in a golf cart by a NASA historian.
Trust me when I say, the special tour is the best money you'll spend on tourism in Houston.

City/town information
If you're looking for a day trip to Houston's historic (brown water) beach, plan for a 3+ hour round trip drive.
Pleasure pier is amazing for the family!! Ocean boardwalk with a single entry fee that gets you access to all the rides.
The Strand has all the history and dining covered.
Would recommend Rudy & Paco as the best food on the island (albeit expensive).
Visit the Moody Mansion + Bishop's Palace to learn all about the Galveston hurricane of 1900.
