The 8 Best Barbecue Restaurants in Houston | Bon Appétit

"A family-run operation that arrived in 2010 and relocated in 2015, this place offers decadent barbecue with craveably sweet, balanced sauces and pronounced hickory smoke. The menu ranges from baby back ribs and homemade spicy sausage to chopped-meat sandwiches on buttery Texas toast; chicken wings are smoked for hours, fried, then sauced (options like Thai chili or raspberry-habanero). Southern influences show up in vinegar-based offerings and St. Louis–style ’cue, while a boldly aromatic Cajun-style dirty rice (a family recipe) and well-balanced collard greens complement mammoth sandwiches piled with brisket and sausage." - ByKayla Stewart
