The Brisket House

11 Best BBQ Places in Houston

"Set in a strip mall, The Brisket House doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside, the restaurant is similarly modest, with a brick counter and wooden tables and chairs. It's light on frills but big on barbecue flavors, including pull-apart brisket that’s been smoked for more than 16 hours. But while it is the best, it's not the only thing on the menu. It also features standout beef short ribs, spicy jalapeño sausage, and peppery pork rib, alongside traditional mustard potato salad, pinto beans, mac ‘n’ cheese, and more. Go big with the Brisket House Special: your choice of meats with a slab of cheddar, a Kosher pickle, onions, and bread, all served on butcher paper." - Charu Suri
