You need to try the sausage. Just outstanding and the sauce is unlike anything anywhere else. Great atmosphere and fast service, even at lunch.

• Pros: great food, clean, friendly

Superb

You will be surprised at the presentation here. Everything is served on butcher paper but don't let that scare you off. This is just like the central Texas BBQ. The brisket is cooked just right and the cutter will slice you meat just the way you like it. Lean, cripsy, marbled or whatever you want.

Moved here from Kansas City

Just moved here from Kansas City. There is good barbeque in KC too. Went to lunch at HBC with serveral guys from work about two weeks ago. I have been back 4 times since. Their brisket is just unbelievable. It just melts in your mouth. My wife always has the chicken. It is very juicy and tender! I recommend this place to all who do not know about it.

The Scene
The mouthwatering aroma of slow-smoked beef permeates this barbecue joint located south of Memorial in a tiny strip mall. Owners Kurt and Treca Craig ran Luling City Market for more than 15 years before launching this popular West Houston purveyor of Central Texas-style pit barbecue. Inside the massive, oak-door entryway lies a casual, open-kitchen dining room featuring wooden tables, a separate bar area, ceiling fans and TVs galore.

The Food
The savory beef brisket is inexpensive and seasoned to perfection. Other menu highlights include tender pork ribs, mildly seasoned beef sausage and succulent barbecued turkey breast, all served cafeteria-style by the friendly counter staff. Order them a la carte (by weight) or choose from among two-, three- or four-meat combination platters. Barbecue enthusiasts will approve of HBC's flavorful sides, including zesty potato salad and thick-cut coleslaw.

Excellent BBQ Place

by spark1h at Citysearch

The new look outside and the innocuous name scared me off for a while. I believe all the really good bbq joints are old looking places with no decor.(Arthur Bryants of KC). Fortunately, this new place served some of the most tasty bbq I have had in houston. I had the pork ribs and the beef brisket and they were both excellent! If your bbq experience is luthers, papas, and goodes, check it out you will not be disapointed

• Pros: excellent food, good parking

Real oak pit barbecue, homemade side dishes and homemade desserts are excellent at the "Houston Barbecue Company". Owners, Kurt & Treca Craig provide a pleasant atmosphere, service and great food. The brisket and ribs are the best.

• Pros: food, service/delivery, owners
