What people say, in short
Squable is a Houston restaurant that many people name as a go-to, with one diner saying any dish there is a safe bet and another praising the burger as spectacular. The beef tartare also gets a nod, and one commenter finds the menu changes more often and feels a bit more fun than comparable spots. Caveats: it does not serve lunch, and one nearby resident considers it at best an ordinary neighborhood place.
