Over the past few years, the Houston area has firmly established its own unique barbecue identity. Alongside the state’s vaunted establishments like Snow’s and Kreuz Market, Space City’s smokehouses are better than ever, with one area barbecue joint even
earning a Michelin star, meaning barbecue enthusiasts don’t have to look far for a solid plate of brisket or perfectly tender ribs. In some cases, though, barbecue is worth the trek. Whether the occasion calls for juicy homemade sausage or the most succulent, fatty brisket, these are the Houston barbecue joints that provide smoked delights sure to satisfy.
Eater has updated this map to include Eastbound Barbecue, Khoi Barbecue, and Rosemeyer Bar-B-Q in Spring. Brett’s BBQ Shop, Fainmous BBQ, and Flossie’s Barbecue have been rotated out.
