Trying new food is one of the best parts of traveling, especially when you’re trying out restaurants that you don’t have back home. It’s exciting to have new experiences, especially with food. It’s so much more than just nourishment from your body. When you have good food, full of flavor, it’s like experiencing a new place for the first time. Here’s our list of the 5 best places to eat in the Woodlands.

 

 

Corkscrew BBQ

This is one of the best little barbecue joints in Texas, and you know Texas does BBQ right. This brisket at the Corkscrew is tender and typically lean, and the barbecue sauce is full of Texas flavor. Their turkey often sells out, so make sure and get there early!

 

 

The Olive Oil

Taste a little slice of Greece at the Olive Oil. This family owned Greek restaurant is a hidden gem in the Woodlands, and was awarded TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, and lively on weekends with live music and even belly dancing! Experience another culture for an evening and get some great food while you’re at it!

 

 

Schilleci’s New Orleans Kitchen

Another cultural experience with your meal, this Cajun and Creole restaurant is straight out of New Orleans. The food is full of Louisiana flavor and the service is lively, and the patio (and restaurant its self) is quaint and charming. You’ll definitely want to give this place a try!

 

 

Via Emilia Italian Restaurant

Everybody loves a good bowl of spaghetti. Italian food is good comfort food, even when it’s a little warm outside. The food is fresh and doesn’t taste frozen because the owners take pride in what they’re serving. Italian food is their passion and you can taste it in their delicious meals.

 

 

Crust Pizza Co.

You can’t go wrong with pizza. Do you even know anybody who doesn’t like pizza? Us either. When you just want to have a low-key afternoon with your family and friends, this is the way to go. The price is reasonable, but the food is way above average.
