As a guy from Memphis where Porky's BBQ set the standard for pulled pork BBQ, Lyndon's has set the standard in Texas. I live in Friendswood and make the trip usually to buy their BBQ sauce by the gallon to make my own pulled pork at home and everyone loves it. Hell, you could put that sauce on cardboard and everyone would love it. At the restaurant, the service and food are consistently excellent. The restaurant crowd in not your typical BBQ joint crowd found in Houston. This place would probably be even more successful if it were in mid-town or the Galleria, the product is that high-end.

Pros: Best Pulled Pork I've eaten since leaving Memphis, great onion rings ans teh stuffed potatoes are deadly for a skinny guy like me

Cons: Not another location on the south side of town.

Excellent food - the ingredients are fresh and the bbq sauce is friggin' magnificent. They serve more than ample portions (remember folks - the US uses double-triple portions, remember??) and they play classic country so bring your nostalgia for Patsy and Hank. As a former resident of the area, I now drive 50 miles each way from Clear Lake just to enjoy their tasty dishes. I highly recommed you give it a try, they have something for everyone, including the fresh baked pies and cookies for after wards. (Also - they do serve beer for you thirsty folks - in addition to sodas and tea).

Pros: Inexpensive, Parking, Service

Cons: Always Busy - but that's great, right?

Expensive. 3 onion rings for 2.00. I have eaten much better barbecue where they don't penny anny you to death. They are very chincy on their meat and weigh everything. I do love their bbq sauce. I go there to buy the sauce and take it to my favorite bbq place and use it. Hey, works for me. They play this really old country music and it does not digest well with the meal. I live near there and eaten there about 6 times. I gave them a chan

Pros: bbq sauce, onion rings, pickle bar

Cons: expensive, horrible music, not enough food

Good BBQ. I just wish I didn't smell like BBQ smoke every time after I visit Lyndons. Pulled pork and Ribs are great. Fried Catfish is also recommended.

Pros: Good BBQ

Cons: Smokey

My company moved out to this area 2 yrs ago and we found this gem. The pulled pork is very tender along with the pork loin. The chicken and sausage are also very tender and have a good smoked flavor to them. The potato salad is the best of any place i have ever had it at, I would go just for it. If you get the onion rings, get a small order...they are gigantic.

Pros: cheap, fast, great food

The best sausage in Houston. I use them for catering as well. Always on time, excellent service. All meats are smoked on site and are out of this world flavor wise. Great beans also.

Pros: Inexpensive, Fast Service

This is by far the best barbeque in town. Try the pulled pork sandwich - you will thank me for it.

Pros: ample parking
