Feges BBQ in Spring Branch, run by the husband-and-wife duo Erin and Patrick, serves creative smoked meats alongside standout sides in a fun, family-friendly spot.
"Don’t be scared off by the giant, semi-menacing metal pig head mounted on the patio—we promise Feges BBQ is a friendly Spring Branch neighborhood spot even if it has all the appeal of a typical strip center restaurant. The new-school-meets-old-school style of barbecue has sides you won't find at other Houston places, like Korean braised greens and pimento mac and cheese. Feges has a simple order counter—no showy meat slicing —and trots out trays of barbecue, sides, and mini cast irons of hog fat cornbread to your table." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"Barbecue is a Houston family favorite, so a visit to Feges in Spring Branch is bound to make everyone happy. Its kids’ menu, which features a cheeseburger, chicken tenders, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and grilled cheese, comes with a choice of side, plus a complimentary cookie. On Wednesday between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., kids eat on the house with the purchase of an adult entree." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley
"The menu at Feges BBQ goes beyond barbecue staples like brisket, boudin, and pulled pork. Here, diners can indulge in fancier sides like Moroccan-spiced carrots, spiced cracklins, and pimento mac and cheese; sumptuous sandwiches and wings; and a wide selection of adult beverages, including wine and $10 frozen margaritas. The restaurant is praised for its whole hog, but head there early when it’s available — it sells out fast and often." - Brittany Britto Garley
"There isn’t a bad time to dine at Feges BBQ, but visit from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and enjoy some of the most unbeatable happy hour deals, including $4 beers, $5 frozen margaritas, and half-off wines by the glass. The food menu is especially economical and gives a great glimpse into Feges offerings, with plates of 10 smoked chicken wings, chopped brisket and pulled pork sandwiches, and half-sized whole hog platters served with charred coleslaw and hog fat cornbread for just $10 each." - Brittany Britto Garley
"One of Houston’s top barbecue joints is making the holiday easy by shipping its heat-and-serve dinner packages and a robust a la cart menu nationwide. Find a menu that includes whole brined and smoked turkeys, and innovative takes on sides, including pimento mac and cheese, loaded potato mash, Moroccan spiced carrots, and Korean braised greens. Don’t miss out on the hog-fat cornbread batter that you can bake at home." - Brittany Britto Garley
