A regular for 15 years Houston's - now Woodmont Grill - had a great steak. The center cut filet was consistently good and worth the $30. The restaurant I am told by one of its chefs has recently changed suppliers and sadly it tastes like it, my old favorite could be any old cut from Giant a few blocks away. Other subtle changes include different chips with dip leaving me in search of something new. Houston's menu was always based on less (good things) is more, but for me Woodmont is less quality for more. End of an era.
According to Woodmont Grill's management, they changed the name to have more of a neighborhood feel, but it is still Houston's. In any case, I love the food, the host remembered my name on my way out (impressive). Can't get enough garlic cheese toast or grilled artichokes.
I fail to see the difference between this place and the original Houston's. Menus are pretty identical and they are still under the same owners as Houston's. Although that is not necessarily a bad thing because I love Houston's. I find myself craving their ribs and spinach/artichoke dip. But don't be fooled by the new name.
Those complaining about not being able to call in carry-out orders should go to places like Booeymonger or Bradley Food and Beverage, or they should pick up food from fast-food places. This is a restaurant, not a carry-out.
After reading the two negative reviews about Houston's take-out service, I felt compelled to add my opinion. I guess Houston is not trying to compete in the take-out market. For anyone who wants to go in and sit down, however, I've found Houston's a fantastic, really FAST lunch option in Bethesda. If I need a quick lunch and I'm alone, I go in and sit at the bar, where I receive lightning-fast service from an extremely friendly, capable bartender. The grilled chicken salad is amazing! I must admit I've never ordered anything else because I love it so much I'm happy to eat it every time.
I called to place an order only to find out you have to go in the restaurant to order. People are trying to save time and order dinner. I won't be spending anymore money there as I find this practice unacceptable.
