Notable Openings and Closings
What you need to know about dining in Texas this week.
Buck Kronnick says: There is a new and exciting restaurant located in Richmond, TX. "Stevan’s Pho & Seafood" deserves your review....best restaurant I have had the opportunity to eat at in years. The ribeye steak has to be, without a doubt, the best steak served in Texas. Stevan’s is plain and simple on the outside...very very clean, and the owner/cook sure knows his stuff!!! Please give this great little restaurant a visit....you will be happy you did. Stevan’s Pho & Seafood 1517 Jackson Street Richmond, TX 77469 (281) 232-4242 (February 16th, 2012 at 4:26pm)
