The 13 Best BBQ Spots In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"Southern-style sides make the best companions for great barbecue, and no other place gets that like Gatlin’s BBQ in the GOOF neighborhood. Gatlin’s gets busy, especially on the weekends, but the wait is best used to make the tough calls like what meats and sides you can’t live without. Your combination should at least include the brisket that all but shimmers on your tray and the smokey traditional pork sausage. As for the sides, a tray isn’t complete without the spice of dirty rice, the fried okra that’s tender but never mushy, and the candied yams that are sweet enough to count as dessert." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
