Best barbecue in Houston

by brendan27

This restaurant was one of the best barbecue places I've ever been to. I had the sliced beef and it was so tender i could cut it with a spoon. The barbecue sauce was also extremely good and homemade too you could tell. I then had dessert and it was outstanding i had coconut cream pie which was the best that i have ever had. I strongly recommend this restaurant. The only thing i didn't like was they aren't onpen on mondays! The neighbor hood that it's in isn't the best. I would suggest going during daylight or with other people if you go at night.

• Pros: food is delicious, service is great, parking lot has plenty of room most of the time, oldstyle from when it opened in the 1940's
• Cons: It can be hard to find, the neighborhood isn't that good.

Worth the drive from Baytown

by dtmproductions

The best fried shrimp in Houston! They remind me of my grandmothers. My wife introduced me to the place when we were dating and we stop there anytime we're in the area. Even if we're not, it's well worth the drive from Baytown!

In fact, as a research project for this review, I'll have to go there for lunch today...you know...for research.

• Pros: Haven't had a bad meal yet.
• Cons: Sometimes they run out of Coconut Pie (Order it first)

Great food, Great real place.

by samaustin

I will make this short. The salad is a bowl of cold crisp real lettuce, not some weird stuff. The chicken fried steak which is what i normally get is fantastic, the white cream gravy has a hint of sweet to it. The fries are crispy and fresh. I BBQ is good but i have only gotten it a few time and normally we will just get some ribs for an app for the table. The fried chicken is always great but you will have to wait since they bread it and fry it to order, but how else would you really want them to do it. Most of the staff have been there for many years and will be there for long to come. Friday night expect a line to be out the door, but just take a number, it will be worth it.

• Pros: Great food, no crazy twists...
• Cons: none, because i like this place just the way it is...
