"To know Burns is to know the city, and the food at Burns Original is undeniably well-executed and hard to forget. This Acres Homes landmark has been providing Houstonians with East Texas-style barbecue for around 50 years. It feels like a backyard cookout, with strangers sitting together on picnic benches while sucking the meat off of perfectly smoked pork ribs until the bones glisten. And when you’re able to spot the entire menu on almost every tray you see, it becomes clear that the best order here only depends on who you’re asking." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
