"Burns Original BBQ in Acres Homes has been providing Houstonians with some straightforward Texas-style barbecue for over 40 years. Whether you go traditional and have a few slices of brisket and some sides on your tray, or get a baked potato covered in chopped beef that requires two hands to lift, the barbecue at Burns Original is smoky, well-executed, and hard to forget. And whether you’re with pals eating on the porch picnic tables, or having a solo feast in your car, snappy sausage links and dirty rice still hit all the same." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
