2021 Favorite Houston Black Owned Restaurants (and Other Cities)

Last updated on January 31st, 2023 at 03:33 am

Was 2021 a better year than 2020? Not really. But one of the highlights of 2021 was all the great food I had from Black owned restaurants and food spots. It was so much fun putting together the Favorite Houston Black Owned Restaurants (2020 Edition) post, that I decided to do another one for 2021. 

In no particular order, here are my favorite 2021 eats from Black owned restaurants & food spots based in the U.S.
