Description

This friendly neighborhood bistro-style cafe in River Oaks has warmth and charm that seem to relax everyone. Daily Review Cafe's food is eclectic, as is the wine and beer list. The menu is large and fascinating, and it's hard to order just one thing. The tortilla-crusted shrimp appetizer is a standout, but then again, a simple dish of baked brie served with grilled apples may be just the thing. Thai fish tacos and famous chicken potpie also give comfort. There's also Southern-fried chicken and jumbo lump crab cakes. Since this is a small place, there's often a wait, but it will be worth it.

  • 2009 | Best Cobb Salad

    It may not be the healthiest salad out there, but it's certainly one of the tastiest and most famous. As legend has it, the Cobb salad was created in 1937 at the Brown Derby in Hollywood when its owner Bob Cobb was hungry one night and tossed a pile of leftovers into a bowl. It was a combo of ingredients that soon swept the nation. And the folks at the Daily Review Cafe do Mr. Cobb proud. A huge platter is stacked high with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, chicken and... More »
