CorkScrew BBQ

"Head to this Spring, Texas mainstay, which is not only the first barbecue restaurant awarded a star at the inaugural Texas Michelin Guide Ceremony but also one of the very first barbecue joints given a Michelin star in the country. 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

"Corkscrew BBQ is one of the six restaurants in Houston awarded one Michelin star during Texas's inaugural Michelin Guide Ceremony." - Brittany Britto Garley

"You have a choice: Arrive before doors open at 11 or go eat somewhere else. In the tiny town of Spring just north of Houston, this barbecue sensation has drawn long lines ever since it opened in 2015. The kitchen is known to sell out fast, and it’s easy to see why: Will and Nichole Buckman smoke some of the finest brisket and beef ribs in the state. Their use of red oak colors prime cuts from Creekstone Farms and Compart Family Farms in a distinct hue, and everything from beef to pork to turkey comes with a pure smoke flavor that lingers long after the meal’s end. Loaded baked potatoes; tacos with green-chile ranch; and fruit cobblers tempt, but should be saved for the second visit. Regulars know to order days in advance to skip the line." - The MICHELIN Guide
