Benjy Levit has been serving some of the most creative modern American cuisine in the city since 1985.

Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar

2525 Rice Blvd. : Houston, TX 77005 : 713-521-1100

Despite a tendency toward cuteness -- not every dish needs to have "buffalo" in its name -- what's served here is quite a bit better than the average sports-bar food.
