Eat dinner at Hugo's, the best high-end Mexican food I've ever had.
Drink great beers and play darts at the original Ginger Man, and get more great beers at the Flying Saucer.
Get Vietnamese food.
Good to Goode's BBQ.

Certainly anywhere we've won a National Championship.Can't day I'm surprised. You have specific, and likely on point recommendations for just about anywhere it seems.
You are correct that Flying Saucer is a chain (as is Ginger Man, actually; although the Houston Ginger Man is the original). I loved the setting of the Houston Ginger Man--it was an easy place to spend a few hours on a couple of occasions. And Flying Saucer was pretty impressive, especially how many good Texas beers they had.From someone who has lived in Houston, rent a car and leave the city. Drive to Austin. It's a short drive. I hate Houston and all things Houston. The only thing that I refuse to leave Houston without doing is stopping at a Shipley's Donut and getting hot glazed donuts. If they aren't hot, don't even waste your time. Ginger Man would be fun and Flying Saucer would be as well, though I do not believe that is a Texas specific chain as I know there was one in Raleigh when I lived there. If you want barbecue and are willing to take my suggestion and leave the city, I would drive to Lockhart. There are three excellent barbecue places there. When I go home, we always go to Blacks. If you go to any barbecue place in Texas, order the brisket.

CongratsMy daughter, UConn class of 2013, is having her wedding reception at Hugo's in 10 days. Great place. Works for Shell Oil. One month in Houston and she got to the Final Four. Not bad. She also flew to TX in 2011 for FF.
The Zoo is very good if you are into that and it is open 12 months a year. There is a Brennan's (of New Orleans fame) for expense account dining.
The OP has a two night layover in Houston, why on earth would he drive to Sugar Land to work out with your boy? This board is so weird.Visit Alphalete and my boy Christian Guzman in Sugarland.
You will get a great workout.
Cool cats down there.
