About My Best Houston
My Best Houston points you to the Houston businesses worth the drive, with rankings written for longtime Houstonians, newcomers and visitors to the city.
A city too big for guesswork
Houston covers an enormous area and keeps growing. There is no single center where everything happens: the Heights, Montrose, the Galleria, Midtown, the East End, Alief and Clear Lake each have their own rhythm, their own shopping centers and their own favorite spots. With no traditional zoning, a taquería can share a strip mall with a tax preparer and a nail salon. Finding the right business is part local knowledge, part luck, and we try to take the luck out of it.
A practical guide to the whole city
My Best Houston publishes focused rankings of the businesses that do their job well, across nearly thirty categories: restaurants and bars, health and beauty, home services, auto repair, shopping, education, legal and financial help, and more. Each listing gives you the address, phone number, hours and a short description, so you can decide and get on the road.
Behind the lists
Our editors study each category across the city, look at how businesses have been regarded by their customers over the years and check the practical details before publishing. Lists are not written once and forgotten; they are reviewed on a schedule and corrected when something changes.
Heat, storms and everyday needs
Life here has its own priorities. When the air conditioning quits in August or a storm damages a roof, people need someone dependable, fast. That is why we take home services, repair shops and medical care as seriously as restaurants and nightlife.
Who turns to My Best Houston
Longtime Houstonians looking for a better option nearby, families who have just moved to the area, and visitors in town for a conference, a game or an appointment at the Texas Medical Center. If you have ever asked a coworker where to get your car fixed or who makes the best kolaches near the office, this guide is for you.
