Never stop at a gas station that sells BBQ, but always stop at a BBQ restaurant that sells gas. If you're really into the sides then this gets expensive quick, but for a turkey or brisket sandwhich..

I honestly don't get the deal, but this place is stupid popular so if you're a Pizza Snob you probably need to visit while you're in town.

Goode Company is a family of restaurants (including seafood, bbq, hamburgers) that is just all good. If you're up in this area, just follow the locals for some great food.

This is the best Tex-Mex I've found in the state (so far). I'll keep looking but in the meantime, if you're in the area pick me up some Tacos de Fajita.

Bowling, Games, all kinds of fun. If you were planning on the beach but the weather didn't cooperate, this is a great place to salvage a day. Fully air-conditioned fun.

Sightseeing
I'm not one to recommend going to a mall, but this one is sort of neat. One of the few underground structures in Houston, it's also one of the few places to ice skate in the state.
