Batanga
Where: Downtown
When: 3–7 p.m. weekdays
The Latin-and-Spanish-inflected small plates are bigger than you’d expect for $4, while chicken skewers with mojo and plantains and Castilian-style pork ribs are sure to keep you full.
Caracol
Where: Uptown
When: 3–7 p.m. weekdays
The “Todo por Siete” menu is just what it sounds like—diners can choose from 11 different $7 dishes including fried oyster sandwiches, red snapper ceviche and lamb lollipops.
Dish Society
Where: Tanglewood, Katy
When: 3–6 p.m. weekdays
A mealtime built around low-cost imbibing isn’t generally focused on health. But for diners who want to temper the damage, this restaurant’s quinoa-stuffed avocado and berry bruschetta, each $5, are a welcome departure during the weekday “social hour.”
Étoile Cuisine et Bar
Where: Uptown
When: 4:30–6:30 p.m. Sun–Fri
Absinthe may be the raison d’être of the “Green Hour,” but teetotalers will be handsomely rewarded with $7 short rib sliders, $6 country pâté and $4 truffle frites.
Hong Kong’s Café
Where: Chinatown
When: 3–6 p.m. daily
There’s no alcohol served here, but during the daily “afternoon tea,” you can choose from 12 different dishes and any beverage for $5.99. We like the HK-style French toast with a fried chicken wing. Just remember to bring cash; no cards are accepted here.
At Punk’s, chicken biscuits are $3 and sliders are $2.50 each.

Punk’s Simple Southern Food
Where: Rice Village
When: 4–7 p.m. Tue–Fri; 9–11 p.m. Fri–Sat
None of the fried comfort grub rings up at more than $5 during both regular and reverse happy hour—and that includes $3 chicken biscuits and $2.50 sliders.
Red Dessert Dive
Where: Heights
When: 4–7 p.m. weekdays
Eat dessert first at this Heights bakery, because what goes better with discounted wine and beer than chocolate bread pudding with Texas bourbon caramel sauce?
