Houston BBQ

[Paul McCourt]

I am going to be down there the end of April and I promised to show some Aussies how Texans do BBQ. Any reccos for the best BBQ in town? (Prefer a proper "joint")

As always, thanks in advance!

[RyanC]

Killen's is the best IMO

Then some mix of: Pinkerton's, Gatlin's, Pit Room, Roegels

If you're willing to venture a bit farther out: Corkscrew, Tejas Chocolate Craftory

[Dan Hammer]

I'm very happy going to Rudy's. It's a chain, but the food is delicious.

[Mark Maddox]

Killens hands down. Then Pinkertons. Then Luling. Then go to a small town around Houston and find a pit BBQ place.

Beef rib at Killen’s was very good.

[Paul McCourt]

For the life of me, I have never understood the white bread thing.

[Scott Jameson]

Where in Houston will you be ? If you're north, I'll second Ryan's suggestions of Corkscrew and Tejas.

[Paul McCourt]

If I remember correctly, it is south of downtown

As a native Texan who has eaten at many of the top places in state (and several out of state), I can confirm that this opinion is wrong on so many levels.

LOL. I didn't want to say anything. I was treating it like my crazy Uncle everybody loves dearly and we say to him all the time "that's nice dear".

If you'll be south of downtown, Killen's is a no-brainer. It's probably farther south than you'll be, but you're in the right direction.

It is the healthful part of the meal.

For comparison, my former favorite place in Houston was Goode BBQ.

I have been to the 'good' places in and around Austin. By the way, the original Salt Lick was a major disappointment.

Next time I'm in town, you and Joe can take me to a proper BBQ place. Next time you're in NYC, I'll return the favor by taking you to the best pizza place. Deal?

[Joe Dulworth]

That's a deal. Always up for a good slice in the city.

FWIW -- neither Goode Co nor Salt Lick are Top 50 in Texas (based on both Texas Monthly rankings and the general consensus).
Happy to eat the NY pizza though

We ate at Kreuz for lunch today. Was a solid step above anything we had in Houston.

I haven't been to Blood Bros BBQ but I'm dying to go: https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/blood- ... =bloodbros

It sounds like a quintessentially Houston spot that mixes cultures and cuisines in a way that's greater than the sum of its parts. The best example of that is Crawfish & Noodles, a *killer* Vietnamese-Cajun restaurant where you can eat spicy Vietnamese crawfish and salt-and-pepper crab with ice cold beer.

You have sold me on Crawfish & Noodles. TY! Next trip to Kingwood, we are stopping there.
