Osso & Kristalla
Osso & Kristalla is located directly across the street from Minute Maid Park, so there's no closer walk! Keep your eyes peeled - the owner of the Astros also owns Osso, so you will see him in there having lunch from time to time; players also pop in for the occasional meal. Osso & Kristalla has happy hour from 3-7pm everyday, including game days with $2.50 well cocktails, bottled beer and house wine. They also have a signature drink called the Astros Screwball which is an orange frozen drink with vodka, orange, pineapple and peach juice and a blueberry swirl for $5.
Jackson Street BBQ
Dubbed some of the best BBQ in Houston, Jackson Street BBQ is just steps away from Minute Maid Park. The owners were raised in Houston and always had a dream of opening a restaurant together! You can’t go wrong with “The Trinity” which is two St. Louis style ribs, 2 oz of top choice brisket, 1/4 link of German style sausage and your choice of sides. Sides include cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, cream corn, collard greens, deviled eggs or fried mac and cheese. Don’t forget to order and extra side of Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuits!
