Updated, 4/29/2016: We've had a great deal of feedback that this list is helpful, so we are continuing to update it with flood-related restaurant open and closed statuses as these are received. There are a few restaurants still closed today. However, the vast majority that were closed yesterday have reopened today, so even if they're listed under "closed," they're probably open now. Diners' best course of action is to call ahead unless a new report for today is noted.

The overnight deluge that dropped as much as 13 inches on parts of Houston has caused many restaurants to delay opening today. Some are skipping lunch service, although with more heavy rain expected this evening, some may not be able to serve dinner, either.
