There is nothing that says Texas like barbecue and Houston has its share of barbecue joints you have to taste to believe. Whether you are from Houston or merely passing through, it’s an experience you don’t want to miss. Below are our top three favorites.

  1. Gatlin’s BBQ

Gatlin’s BBQ is a BBQ joint owned and operated by a local family. In fact, their food is so good they have won the Houston Press Best Barbecue award twice. With an expansive menu, they offer many different types of meat cooked with the best ingredients and homemade sauce.

  1. Pinkerton’s BBQ

Pinkerton’s BBQ was started by a local man, Grant Pinkerton. They offer a full menu with several different kinds of meat including prime brisket, beef ribs, pulled pork, and pork ribs. They also have a nice selection of side dishes and desserts. Delicious food at affordable pricing makes Pinkerton’s BBQ a must visit.

  1. CorkScrew BBQ

CorkScrew BBQ is a local, family-owned restaurant that is famous for its brisket and makes all of their food, including sauces, from scratch daily. They offer outdoor seating, are dog-friendly, and have outdoor games for the entire family to play. However, they are open shorter hours and sell out quickly during the weekend, so stay tuned to their social media or website.

Whether you have a favorite or enjoy the experience of trying something new, there is no better way to experience Texas than by experiencing it’s barbecue.
