Why go
Curry Boys came up from San Antonio with Texas barbecue and a real fondness for Thai flavors, and landed in a pink bungalow in Riverside Village, the old Lou space. Out back on the patio, a rotisserie smoker runs on post oak.34
It's a fast-casual counter, so you order, grab a seat and wait for the good stuff. Lines build, and things sell out, so an early lunch or dinner is your friend.31

- Latest mention: the newest dated creator post or press piece on this page. Shown only when it is under 60 days old.
- Creators: distinct accounts behind the creator posts on this page.
- Price: our own cost guide, not a ranking. We take the typical meal range from the spot's current menu and use its midpoint: $ under $12, $$ $12 to $20, $$$ $20 to $35, $$$$ over $35.
