The Best Restaurants and Bars in The Woodlands

Just 30 miles north of Houston lies The Woodlands, an affluent, fast-growing suburb. While the neighborhood was once a hotbed of national chain restaurants, The Woodlands has become a dining destination with celebrated chefs and new restaurants setting up shop.  A meal in The Woodlands is no longer simply a prelude to going to a concert at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion — the suburb’s eateries are now a major draw.

Whether you’re a local seeking a new dining experience or an out-of-towner planning a weekend getaway, these are some of the top places to dine and drink in The Woodlands. Eater has updated this list to rotate out Bosscat Kitchen and Libations, Mexican Mom, Truluck’s, and State Fare.
