One of the oldest African-American restaurants in Houston, Texas, This Is It, dishes out delicious soul food from the steam table from a diverse mix of customers, working-class and professionals to politicians, entertainers, tourists, conference attendees, as well as its regular customers and neighborhood residents. The Jones’ turned the business over to Craig Joseph in 1994, after which, he purchased property for This Is It at 207 Gray. In 2008, a new restaurant was built at 207 Gray, Suite B. When This Is It started out in 1959, it was open for three days a week for lunch. Now it is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner and with breakfast served Monday through Saturday.
