Nancy’s Hustle is a modern bistro at 2704 Polk Street on Houston’s east side. The food menu moves through savory dishes, larger plates, wood-grilled choices, sides and sweets.
The $20 Nancy Cakes combine cultured butter with smoked trout roe. The $19 beef-and-pork butter dumplings bring sauerkraut, labneh and chive oil. Those rich-and-sharp combinations provide a useful starting point when deciding what to order.
The current fish main is $36 swordfish with sherry brown butter, piparra peppers and winter greens. For a simpler order, the cheeseburger is $18 and hand-cut fries are a separate $6. The grilled ribeye remains market-priced.
