Welcome to ThatBigBasket — home of honest Houston, Texas and USA food reviews and The Basket System.

I’m a Houston-based food reviewer breaking down restaurants across Houston, Texas and beyond. Burgers, tacos, hot chicken, sandwiches, hidden gems — if it’s worth trying, I’m there.

Every restaurant is graded using my Basket System:

B – Backdrop (atmosphere & vibe)
A – Arrival (how fast the food hits the table)
S – Service (staff, hospitality, experience)
K – Koin (value vs price)
E – Eats (the food itself — flavor, quality, execution)
T – Total (final score)

Each category is scored out of 10 for a total of 50 points — what I call the Basket Score.

No hype. No fluff.

You’ll also find travel food from cities like Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and across the U.S.
