50 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Houston

“Great experience and got to meet Zakk Wylde“

“Craving some smoky goodness? Pinkerton's delivers on the brisket, offering decent cuts that tantalize the taste buds. However, the sausage fell flat, lacking that burst of savory spice we all crave. While the mac and cheese provided some cheesy comfort, the overall experience left us wanting a bit more flavor punch. It's a solid 6 out of 10, good for a casual BBQ fix but not quite the pitmaster's paradise we were hoping for.“

“First stop off the plane, was on the fence on either @fegesbbq or another spot. I saw carrot cake on the menu and that was the ultimate decider. This is my first time here and was surprised to walk into a food court. I’m a sucker for sliced pork belly. The immediate hit of the sweetness that comes off the pork and the taste of smoke. Between bites of the spicy jack cheese sausage that balanced the spiced with the simple is best fight in my mouth. Such a nice and smokey brisket melted into my mouth and into my soul. Btw a wonderful dark crunchy bark. Makes me miss being in TX. Between these fatty smoked meats, the elote corn salad was a nice acidic and refreshing bite. And in the end the thing that made me want to come here. The carrot cake! So moist!!! best carrot cake I’ve had? Idk, but I cant think of anything else right now. All this in the last place I expected . . . a food court of all locations. After my meal, definitely I agree with their shirt of being the best food court barbecue in TX . . . heck the US. Even without falling in that niche category, it was a delicious meal.“

“We were in town for the Metallica & Pantera concert and finally had a chance to try out Truth BBQ. Everything was excellent including the service.“

“Absolutely phenomenal. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly, and the food is outstanding. Easily some of the best brisket you'll ever find, and the brisket/rice combo is crazy good. Couldn't possibly recommend this place enough. They're moving to a new location soon at Hwy 6 and W Little York. I'll be a regular.“

“Niaa needs to be a waiter she very sweet and pretty and honest I love her to death“

“I got invited to try out a new BBQ place for lunch and Flossies BBQ did not disappoint. The flavors were good and meat was tender. Don't know how I made it home without pulling over to eat my new BBQ places best stuffed potato. Just look at it! You won't be disappointed!“

“A group of 16 of us went for dinner. The staff was amazing in handling our group. Friendly smiles and healthy servings. The prices for the serving size is an unbeatable deal. The flavors are remarkable. As a native Texan and brisket fanatic I can honestly say some of the best in the state. Js is a true hidden gem.“

“Good spot for great BBQ dining!“

“For gluten-free peeps: Service was quick and food was good. I am gluten-free and I felt safe eating BBQ and coleslaw. It was my fault I should have asked if the coleslaw was gluten-free but I never in my life would expect ramen noodles in my coleslaw. So if you are gluten-free make sure to ask or let them know.“

“Excellent barbecue and good sides a must try if your in Houston. Brisket, pork ribs, jalapeño cheese sausage were very good and pork belly was so good. We’ll be back for sure.“

“Hands down my favorite Korean bbq place! The staff is friendly and the food was awesome.“

“Great experience and got to meet Zakk Wylde“

“OUTSTANDING ALWAYS. BEST TEXAS BBQ IN HOUSTON“

“We were here as a family from the UK tonight, and it was the best Korean food and almost best family restaurant experience I've ever had, thanks to the great food, intimate decor, and friendly banter with their awesome owner. Thanks for making our first meal in Houston one too remember, we'll be back!“

“My late wife and I have been to both locations of brisket House barbecue. They are located on Woodway in Houston and on Cypress Creek Parkway near FM 1960. I have not been to this location in years since my wife passed away. My brother and I decided to go out to eat Monday, August 11 at the Woodway location. They did not disappoint. The food was great and the young lady that assisted us was very sweet. I hope to return soon.“

“Hickory Hollow is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always excellent and the staff is always friendly, accommodating and very courteous.“

“LOVE LuLoo’s and Blood Bros. The menu is creative without being pretentious. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad meal at either. Get the pretzel and okra for sure. Sandwiches and wraps are HUGE and so flavorful. I’m sure the rest of the menu is stellar as well, just haven’t quite made my way through it yet. 😜“

“Was a great experience staff was very courteous and helpful. Was our first time ever eating there and we enjoyed it. Plenty of items to choose from.“

“The food here was fantastic! We had family in town from out of the country that wanted barbecue and decided to try here. I’m so glad we did and can’t wait to come back to try brunch. The ribs were the best we’ve had in a long time!“

“Great stop for a BBQ while we are in Texas! Thanks for a wonderful meal and good experience!“

“Someone brought me a brisket sandwich for lunch and it was pretty good. I decided to go on a Saturday afternoon. Was 1 person in front of me, ordered the sausage and brisket plate. It took about 15 minutes. The brisket was as thin as receipt paper, the sausage was cheap. Lemonade was awful!! BBQ sauce was bland! I don’t know what happened between the sandwich I had and the food I walked in to order. I’ll stick to Burns BBQ in Acres Homes…especially when it comes to flavor!“

“buena comida y buen servicio“

“They catered a celebration of life we had today. All the food was fantastic. The ribs were perhaps the best I have had in a long time. 9 out of 10. The only issue was we asked for half white bread and half rolls and only got bread. But that was the only misstep. Everything else was excellent. Everyone was more than pleased. We passed out some business cards. You will get some more business from this. Thanks you for a great experience.“

“great food and amazing prices. plates were loaded up with meats and sides. you must try their boudin. the best I've ever had! great flavor on everything.“

“Carter’s is always on point. Great food and great guy! The brisket and ribs are cooked to perfection.“

“Great food and great service. Thanks Dorian for your help with navigating the menu. The ribs and brisket were good but the hom“

“I’ve become a bit of a BBQ snob (at least as much as a Chicagoan can be) since I started smoking meat at home. This place is seriously legit! Delicious, tender, cut just right and great atmosphere! Friends if you find yourself in Houston make your way here! You won’t regret it.“

“I was crossing across Texas and obviously wanted BBQ, and I was lucky to be near this place, I truly recommend this place, excellent service and the food is out of this world yummy!! 😋“

“best roast duck anywhere. I have been eating their wonderful food since I was 10 years old, I'm 60 now!“

“Love this place great people“

“was just in for some take out. got back to the hotel with everything. you guys got my overly picky 2 year old to eat like a rabid wolverine. he demolished the burnt end beans and is working on a rib like his life depended on it.“

“This is a great barbecue experience, fresh meats, well flavored clean restaurant, friendly service, very clean internal and external this one’s shares the parking lot with the gas station so you might need to park a little bit further away from the entrance, but not a big deal when you’re eating a lot of meat“

“I had a lovely time. Marl and his band were awesome. The staff were very nice and professional. A cozy and clean venue with a genuine vibe. Check it out y’all!“

“You need to be prepared to be in line at least 15 min. This is a very popular and nice place. I ate here on my trip to Houston wanting to have a very local and unique Barbecue experience and this place did not disappoint. You would probably find the place very interesting since they have a lot of classic/old items interesting to see, this resembles like a museum inside the restaurant. Very unique, original and tasty. Well recommended.“

“I’m 70 and have been going to Barbecue Inn since I was a baby. My favorite place!! A variety of food that is great and service is so friendly! Always try to go when I’m back in Houston.“

“Been coming here for nearly 10 years. The owner and manager are extremely friendly. The food is stunningly authentic. No use of tomatoes or new world/cross trade ingredients in the curries all stunningly simple authentic Indian and Pakistani curry’s and barbecued meats with stunning spices and dry rubs. The naan is not fancy, it’s delicious authentic stone naan which can be wrapped and stored for weeks at a time in the right conditions. Everything is cooked fresh to order, if you want a real authentic Indian Experience that has no cross trade or American Influence at incredible prices compared to all other local curry houses, then as a 10 year foodie. Veteran of this stunningly simple restaurant I recommend it with 10 stars

Vegetarian options: Stunning okra masala and incredibly well cooked green peas pullao. Naan bread is FANTASTIC and handmade fresh to order. If you listen carefully you can hear them pounding and shaping each naan in the back kitchen. The chef is WONDERFUL AND FANTASTIC

Parking: Small individual parking lot and one entrance/exit but somehow we always manage to find a space:). Usually over 50 take out orders done a day so there’s usually room and there’s almost always a table or two eating in

Kid-friendliness: We hosted a wonderful party there recently and my dear friends grandchildren were delighted with the fresh real French fries and stunning mango yogurt smoothies. I think the whole pitcher was downed by them in 20 minutes total:):)“
