If you like Luling, you'll like Houston BBQ Co.

I found this place on a whim early last year. After eating, I was amazed at how similar the food was to Luling Market, one of my favorites. I found out the whole story from my server. The links and the potato salad are the best in Houston. I also love their sauce. A must do.

Check this out!!

by traceanderson at Citysearch

We recently had an office reunion at HBC and it worked out great. The place is perfect for a no-host gathering. Everyone could eat when they wanted and order according to their budget and taste. The food is always exceptionally good. I recommend the ribs and sausage. There is no better in Houston.

• Pros: Great for groups

Best on the West side of town!

by howdy2ya at Citysearch

This is simply the best barbeque on the west side of town. I'm a Memphis gal, longing for something similar to home, but....I can make do on their ribs and smoked chicken. The chicken gets VERY high marks!

The ambience is low-key, low-tech, but...not too...low-brow. An overall, unfussy, place to eat.

Cost is: Medium to Average for Barbeque.

Seat yourself, pour your own soft drink or tea, and listen to the music while you eat.

• Pros: Good Food, Cafeteria Style Serv., Clean and tidy
• Cons: Price, Tables too close, Can get loud

Best BBQ Anywhere!

by dithot at Citysearch

This is the only place I will eat BBQ. It just melts in your mouth. So far, everything I've tried has been good. Fortunately, it's right by work and I take home an order at least once a week. I would make the drive to pick up an order if it weren't, though. Once you taste it, so will you! It's not cheap, but the prices are about average, I think.

• Pros: Quick, Courteous
• Cons: Cigarette Smoke

Disappointed

by cc585 at Citysearch

Brisket was fatty, sauce was too spicy, perhaps to cover up the bland taste of the meat. Meat was served on paper, which makes this place seem even more pretentious-- most BBQ places were butcher shops, and this place obviously never was. The paper tears when you try to cut your meat. The sides and sandwiches are served on dishes, which makes the paper seem all that more ridiculous. The decor is a mixture of western, sports, and placards that laud their BBQ, which is nothing more than average at best. There is a bar in the middle of the restaurant, to appeal to the happy hour crowd as well, which was kind of rowdy when I went, so I won't be bringing the kids.

• Pros: plenty of parking

Parking problem

by bcharles0000 at Citysearch

You may not like th parking problem especially at lunch, but it is worth going early or late to get this wonderful bbq. HBC is popular with the energy crowd and they are usually packed everytime I go there. I highly recommend them for there fresh and well cooked bricket and ribs. Go there and you will see what I mean.

Shipping to Minnesota

by oilmanjoe at Citysearch

We wanted to surprise Mom on Mother's Day so we had the folks at Houston Barbecue Company send a package to her in Minnesota. I was concerned about the whole idea but my wife talked me into it. What a great idea it turned out ot be. Mom reported the food arrived and was absolutely delicious. I recommend this as a good gift for someone who has everything. We will use Houston Barbecue again for speical gifts to be shipped or delivered locally. When you call, ask for Kurt. He really knows what he is doing. Great food!

Sausage

by davidc8845 at Citysearch

This sausage recipe is the best I have ever tasted. I have eaten in many barbeque joints and had several different formulas but Houston Barbecue is my favorite. They have the real deal on all their food.

Great Happy Hour at the Bar

by girlfriend0000 at Citysearch

While you are there eating the best BBQ ever ( and the best potato salad), sit at the bar and talk to Tina. She is the best bartender and makes you feel right at home even if you are eating alone. I eat there all the time ans so do my co-workers.

I don't know what to say except the barbeque at Houston barbecue is just the best. I especially like the ribs. And don't forget the brownie to go with it. The sign says Angelica makes them. She is a fine baker.
