The 25 Best Restaurants In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"Lifelong Houstonians who grew up going to rodeo cookouts or big country picnics will instantly recognize Triple J’s style of barbecue. It’s part country cookout and part East Texas potluck, all slow-smoked together into something uniquely Houston. This mostly to-go Trinity Gardens spot’s smoky, sauced-up pork ribs, fire-breathing boudin, and fatty sausage will expand your definition of what constitutes incredible barbecue. The sides here hit just right, including pot likker-stewed green beans that have the same soulful flavor as any of the meat. This old-school joint holds it down—and if the extra sauce is needed, pour out as much as desired from the five-gallon spigot bucket Triple J’s keeps on hand." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
