"Located in the heart of Old Town Spring, CorkScrew BBQ is creating a lot of buzz in Texas barbecue circles. They've made a seemingly quick evolution from a catering business to an outdoor eatery and are now housed in a stand-alone building with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Spend the day strolling through the antique shops on the surrounding streets and stop into CorkScrew to get your fix. Come EARLY. Lines often form before they open. Tuesday–Saturday, 11 am until SOLD OUT." - A Civil Fox
"Head to this Spring, Texas mainstay — one of the first barbecue joints in the country, and the first in Texas, to earn a Michelin star. Here, diners can indulge in top-notch Texas barbecue: Traditional plates or sandwiches might feature juicy brisket, jalapeño sausage, or ribs, as well as fix-ins like creamy potato salad, sweet pit-smoked beans, and slaw. Barbecue bowls can be comprised of two sides and a meat of choice, or opt for something like the Sailing the Seas of Cheese, a bowl of macaroni smothered in queso and topped with chopped sausage, brisket, cheddar cheese, and a “boop” of jalapeno. End with a heaping portion of the cobbler of the day." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Just a short drive outside of Houston proper, in Old Town Spring, this Michelin-starred smokehouse is as charming as its surroundings. Prime brisket, pulled pork, turkey, and link sausage are all killer choices, as is the Bobert sandwich, piled high with the diner’s choice of meats and green chile ranch dressing. For a huge undertaking, opt for the Whole Hog, a massive sandwich topped with pulled pork, sausage, and a few ribs. Don’t forget the sides — the creamy potato salad and baked beans are prime choices. Pro tip: Plan ahead and arrive early. Corkscrew often sells out by 3 p.m." - Brittany Britto Garley
