Wonderful world-class steakhouse. Vic & Anthony's is part of the Laundry family of steakhouses and it originated here in Houston, Texas. It can be found around the country now, but there's nothing like the original. Make a reservation if you're in town for a special occasion.

Sightseeing
If you are looking to go by the coast, but do not want to go to the beach, this is the perfect place. It's a little bit of a drive and there's usually traffic getting there, but it is so enjoyable when you arrive. There are carnival rides, shops, and so many restaurants and bars. If it is too hot to go during the day, get there in the evening, it's beautiful! It is worth it if you have no other plans here in Texas yet.
