Though Spanky's has something of the annoying Chili's/ Bennigan's decor, it's relaxing and cool with great pizza (probably the best in town since the demise of Uno's on Kirby). It's been there for years before the Gulfgate reinvention, the prices are good (especially for lunch) and very few people outside of SE Houston know of it.
Pros: decent prices, good food/ salads, easy parking
Cons: not nextdoor to home
