Super Bowl LVIII is just around the corner and although no teams from the Lone Star State are competing, you can bet Texans will be watching.

Plus, we’d argue the best part of the Super Bowl is the food. Whether you’re cheering for the San Francisco 49ers or the Kansas City Chiefs (hey, KCtoday), we rounded up 11 Super Bowl specials for you to consider come game day.

Where to watch

Cover 3, multiple locations
Watch the game from either one of Cover 3’s locations or take the “Fan-Tastic Feast” to go. Specialty game day offerings include chipotle ranch wings + fried pickles, chicken quesadillas, green chili beef nachos, the restaurant’s signature mac and cheese, and frozen margaritas. To go orders must be placed 48 hours in advance.

The Driskill Bar, 604 Brazos St.
Join in on the celebration at this historic bar, where the game will be on the TVs and the kitchen will serve specialty lamb sliders courtesy of Sous Chef Cliff Benavides.

Fresa’s, multiple locations
Come for the jalapeno poppers, wood-grilled wings, flautas, Siete layer dip, and cookie trays, but stay for the big game on big-screen TVs. Still want to watch the game at home? You can order any of those snacks to go.

TLC, 1100 S. Lamar Blvd.
This local beer hall will have the game playing on all of its screens, so don’t miss out on its Halftime Happy Hour, featuring $1 oysters, $7 bites and sips, and $15 Bud Light buckets. Make a reservation to secure your table.

From the editor
As a new fan of football, I’m a little disappointed that neither one of our Texas teams made the cut for the Super Bowl. I’m going to watch the game, but I’m definitely most excited to see Post Malone perform “America the Beautiful.”
