The Best Hidden Gem Restaurants in Houston | Eater Houston

"Sure, it has Michelin recognition, but that doesn’t make this lauded barbecue spot feel any less hidden. Stop into this gas station restaurant for some of the most inventive barbecue in town. White rice is reinforced as an ideal complement to almost any protein at this barbecue joint, which pairs the starchy side with brisket, creating a devoted following. There are other options, too. Diners can spice things up with barbecue fried rice, the Poor Man’s Macaroni, street corn, loaded baked potatoes, or its cranberry almond slaw, all of which pair well with its prime brisket, pork ribs, and beef jalapeno sausage." - Brianna Griff
