    Black Friday offers a wealth of deals; Houston's restaurants and food-related retailers are eager to get in on the action. Shoppers will find gift card bonuses, discounts on wine, and food specials at establishments across the city.

    Best of all, dining out means not eating leftovers.

    Bowl & Barrel/The General Public/The Rustic
    All three of FreeRange Concepts’ Houston establishments are offering a gift card special that starts on Black Friday and lasts until December 31. For every $50 gift card purchased, the buyer will receive a bonus, $15 gift card.

    Houston Wine Merchant
    To celebrate Small Business Saturday, the ultra-popular wine and spirits purveyor offers big discounts on wine. Get 10-percent off when purchasing between one and 11 bottles, 15 percent off when purchasing 12 or more bottles, and 20-percent off when purchasing 48 or more bottles. Spirits are not included. See store for details.

    Ike’s Love and Sandwiches
    Recently opened in The Heights, this California-based restaurant is running a BOGO sandwich deal from November 29 through December 1. Simply show the staff this graphic to redeem the offer.

    Montrose Cheese & Wine
    Goodnight Hospitality’s retail shop and wine bar is running a special from November 29 - December 2. Get 20-percent off all retail items from open until 2 pm (excludes cheese) and get 20 percent off all 12-pack wine cases all day — even the fancy bottles. In addition, those who purchase a $100 gift card will receive a bonus $20 card (offer valid until Christmas Eve).

    The Palm
    Receive a $25 bonus gift card with the purchase of a $250 gift card at the venerable steakhouse and Italian restaurant.

    Pappas Restaurants

    Peli Peli
    The South African restaurant with four Houston-area locations has an appealing gift card offer. Purchase a $50 gift card and receive a bonus $10 gift card that’s activated on Christmas Day; those who step up to a $100 gift card will get a bonus $20 gift card.

    Perry’s Steakhouse
    In addition to its regular Friday lunch special — get a smaller cut of the restaurant’s signature pork chop for just $16 from 10:30 am to 4 pm — the restaurant will give a bonus $25 gift card to anyone who purchases a gift card worth $125.

    Pluckers Wing Bar
    The Austin-based restaurant and sports bar with four (soon to be five) Houston area locations is taking half-off the cost of joining the Pluckers Club. For only $10 (on Black Friday), members receives discounts on food and perks like a free meal on their birthdays.

    Postino Wine Cafe
    The wine bar with locations in The Heights and Montrose offers a $30 bonus gift card to anyone who purchases a $100 gift card. Offer valid in-store on online on both Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

    Saint Arnold
    Houston’s oldest craft brewery will celebrate Black Friday with a Big Beer Blowout. Get bottles of various brews from the Divine Reserve and Bishop’s Barrel series to complete a flight. For the first time, changes to Texas law means customers may take their purchases to-go. In addition, the beer garden and restaurant will have a number of special beers available on draft.

    Shake Shack
    The global burger juggernaut will be running a Black FryDay promotion from November 27- December 1. Diners receive a scratch off ticket good for prizes such as:

    • Free burger with any $20 order or free fries with any $15 order via the Shack App

    • Free Shack for a year (a $2,500 gift card)

    Vocelli Pizza will open its first Houston-area location in March.

    A Pittsburgh pizzeria has set its sights on Houston. Vocelli Pizza will makes it Bayou City debut next year with a location in Katy.

    Scheduled to open in March 2026, the restaurant will be located at 2941 W. Grand Parkway. Although pizza is part of the restaurant’s name, the menu also includes wings, pizza rolls, salads, sandwiches, pasta, and more. Specialty items include mac and cheese pizza, spinach mushroom rolls, and a chicken parmesan sub.

    "We are thrilled to continue our growth into new communities that share our passion for quality, service, and authentic Italian-inspired food," Vocelli Pizza CEO Toni Bianco said in a statement. "Our expansion into Dalton and Houston reflects the strong demand for our brand, and we look forward to delivering an exceptional experience to guests in both markets."

    For its expansion into Houston, Vocelli’s will debut an all-halal menu that’s designed to appeal to Houston’s diverse community.

    "The team is excited to introduce Vocelli Pizza to Houston with a full halal menu," Bianco added. "There is a clear demand for high-quality Halal pizza and delivery options, and we are proud to meet that need while bringing our brand to a new and dynamic market."

    Founded by Turkish immigrant Varol Ablak in 1988, Vocelli began franchising in 1993. The restaurant currently has more than 80 locations.
