The 24 Best Restaurants in Houston

"With now two locations in Pearland and The Woodlands, this hallowed name in the world of barbeque dining is not to be missed—provided you brave waiting outside in the Texas heat for 20 minutes. Once you finally make your way into Killen's dining room, which resembles a summer-camp cafeteria, refresh your spirit with cold beers on ice and the smell of the signature blackened brisket. Once your food arrives, you'll realize that Ronnie Killen has darn near perfected the art of smoked meats with his delicious blackened brisket, which delivers on both the juice and the crunch. The pulled pork sandwich, topped with coleslaw, is a standout." - Charu Suri, Diana Oates
