What People Are Saying About Last Concert Cafe

Last Concert Cafe
Owner
LAST CONCERT CAFE is one of Houston's oldest (and definitely friendliest) live-music venues. We've been serving up great music and delicious Tex-Mex since 1949! LCC is known as the best place to catch jam bands in Houston, but we also feature funk, bluegrass, rock, blues, world beat, rockabilly and more EVERY night! Our dishes are prepared with the highest quality lean fresh meats and burgers with black angus beef. We use only olive oil to saute or season as well as the freshest local farmers market vegetables. We make everything from scratch because we believe food is better for you when…

In Short – Buried in the warehouse district, this Tex-Mex cafe was born in 1949 (a picture of Franklin Roosevelt hangs over the bar, hung there by the original proprietor, Elena Lopez) and continues on in its tradition of supplying yummy food and good music. Out back, surrounded by trees, lies a partially covered patio with a medium-sized stage and plenty of room for dancing. It's comfortable and gives the feel of being in someone's backyard.

I went with a group of friends to this place after hearing about it. Initially walking in I was intrigued by the decor but trying to get table for a group of 8 wasn't easy. The wait staff wasn't very friendly and seemed as if they were doing us a favor putting the tables together. Finally we got a room in the back area to accommodate our party. The place is does have a nice historic charm but unfortunately the table we got was near the restrooms and had a foul odor in the entire room. Never the less I'm always game to try some authentic food regardless of the set-up and the food was very disappointing. You could get better guacamole from the grocery store and the enchiladas were mediocre for the price. I probably won’t come here again for the food but would for the music and a beer.
- Pros: Interesting venue in the band area and decor
- Cons: not so great food, dirty bathrooms

I've been going to Last Concert since the 70s and loved it then but it got even better when Dawn took over! The food is consistently wonderful the service is consistently friendly and efficient and WHOA, where else can you go to see such a cross-section of people!!!! Then there's the music...and the Watermelon Festival...and the margaritas!!
Congratulations to Dawn for making the place what it is!!!!
- Pros: fantastic soup, service and scenery (people watching)
- Cons: none

Okay for music, but the food leaves alot to be desired

I ate here with my girlfriend as she needed a Tex Mex fix. We detoured here on our way to Ninfa's on Navigation. We should have stayed the course. The food seemed as though it was right out of a bag from the grocery store. The tortillas were clearly out of a package, and the chicken in the fajitas was dry, and lacked any flavor. I would go here to see the bands but steer clear of the food.
- Pros: Good Music
- Cons: Food lacks in every way
