Expect long waits at these dimly lit, sleek-lined dining rooms. The leather booths at Houston's are usually packed. Customers come again and again for consistently good takes on American dishes, some with novel-esque little twists. The Caesar salad, for example, is tossed with an eggless dressing; rice noodles tangle with rare steak and sweet Thai dressing in the ''evil jungle'' salad, and so forth.

A few things are must-haves, like the bubbling bowl of spinach and artichoke dip that's served with salsa and sour cream as an appetizer. Or the huge, gooey cheeseburgers and veggie burgers that come slathered with mustard and mayo, and topped with shredded lettuce and tomato.
