Under $20 per person
Some of the most unbeatable deals are also some of the most delicious, like bargain brunches from Toasted Yolk and Postino. The former offers a family-style feast for four for just $40, with a choice of egg style and protein (chicken sausage, bacon and more). Plus, pick between pancakes and French toast, and also get a hashbrown casserole — and donuts for dessert, naturally.
Postino Heightsdishes out its Back Patio Pack for $50; it serves four to six. Snack on spinach and artichoke quiche, a panzanella caprese salad and gigantic cinnamon rolls!
For dinner, order from TheFederal Grill, whose $75 meal serves four. There’s a big green salad with champagne vinaigrette, a family-style entrée (truffle chicken stuffed with herbal cream cheese, anyone?!), and chocolate chip cookies for all!
$20-$40 per person
In this price range, supreme steak and seafood options are abundant. Perry’s has a decadent three-course deal for $39 per person; highlights include a 16-ounce caramelized prime rib with steak butter and whipped potatoes, or vegan spaghetti squash primavera for the non-meat-eater. Kids meals are just $13 each, and all wine and mixed-drinks to-go are 50 percent off.
The Houstonian's Tribute restaurant has a family four-pack for just $89 — or $69 for members! A juicy, bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin with a maple-mustard glaze, herb-crusted three-cheese macaroni, honey-butter yeast rolls, roasted veggies, and — this is our favorite part — a housemade lemon-blueberry mousse pie awaits.
Grotto’s three-course meal-for-two is $45; signature selections include chicken parm and a six-ounce filet — and dark chocolate cake.
The Easter menu at sister resto Willie G’sis full of Creole flavor — chicken and sausage gumbo to start, crawfish etoufee to follow — and is $35 per person. Tack on an order of deviled eggs for $12, and enjoy half-off all beer and wine with a food purchase.
And at Brenner’s on the Bayou, score a savory four-person meal for just $99. A mouthwatering, three-pound portion of roasted prime rib with au-jus and creamy horseradish is the main course here; add more for $25 per pound.
$50 or more per person
You can’t go wrong with a holiday spread from Houston institution Brennan’s. For $100, score two starters, two entrees, three sides and bread and butter. Every order also comes with Bananas foster bread pudding and a special lagniappe. May we recommend a Creole Bloody Mary kit (Tito’s vodka included!) for $21?
Traveler’s Table also serves a $50-per-head deal, with two small plates, two entrees and two desserts. Here, tack on a bottle of wine for just $15, and earn a $10 gift card for every $50 spent.
Underbelly Hospitality — which is also selling individual take-and-bake dishes at Georgia James and H-E-B — has a true family feast in its Easter package. There’s a slab salad, three pounds of smoked 44 Farms prime rib, macaroni and cheese, creamed greens, dinner rolls and peach cobbler with cinnamon whipped cream. For $200, this serves four (very) hungry family members.
Go big at Steak 48, with a five-course meal at $85 per person. Indulgent menu items include Shetland Island salmon, loaded whipped potatoes and a melt-in-your-mouth warm-vanilla-caramel cake.
