Hm, finger-liking? C'mon KHOU... "finger licking" is more like it. Anyway, Rudy's BBQ is pretty awesome (their sauce is great, and you can purchase in jars). Also good is Goode Company BBQ!

Red River BBQ in League City, TX

bohicas78 said on November 6, 2009 at 2:07 PM

McKenzies BBQ in Conroe, hands down has the best ribs I ever had in my life, does not compare to the Luling's or Louie Mullers.

raizen615 said on November 6, 2009 at 2:09 PM

Vernon's in Conroe - Hwy 105W heading to the lake. Awesome Ribs!

urbansissy said on November 6, 2009 at 2:44 PM

McKenzie's BBQ has locations in Huntsville and Conroe and most definitely has great BBQ! Locally, I would have to say Hickory Hollow on Heights or Rudy's on 290 has the best BBQ.

nrcypress said on November 6, 2009 at 2:44 PM

DEFINITELY IT IS THELMA's BBQ on DELMAR ST. Near Downtown

Without a doubt it is THELMA'S Shes' been highiighted on PBS accross the U.S. as one of America's BEST BBQ / restaurant.. You should take advantage of living in the same city and stop by!!

aroebuck said on November 6, 2009 at 3:12 PM

Best BBQ...there are certainly some tough choices. * Kings BBQ in La Porte * Joe's BBQ in Alvin * Central Texas in Pearland All make the cut in my book.

prestonv said on November 6, 2009 at 3:15 PM

I agree with #1. Definately Joe's Barbeque in Alvin, TX

prestonv said on November 6, 2009 at 3:16 PM

No one has mentioned the Swinging Door near Richmond.

socrates1911 said on November 6, 2009 at 3:23 PM

Thelma's BBQ locate at Southmore and Scott Street, formerly at 1020 Live Oak Street...By Far the best BBQ for the $$$...the Brisket is the best in Houston. HOWEVER if I lived in Houston (Pearland, TX) and had a restaurant then I would say my brisket is BEST but I digress...MY personal favorites at Thelma's are the Brisket and Ribs, and the Sweet TEA is straight up addicting... I also have to show some love for Burn's BBQ off Depriest. Although Burn's may not be what it was, that BBQ shack still has a loyal lunch crowd following...the sauce mixed with sausage juice aka "Gravy" is the best. Small ends ribs and sausage trays are a couple of my personal favorites.

khoudude said on November 6, 2009 at 3:37 PM

"Hey Vicente!, Look me up when Thelma's win this survey (She will win). and I'll be MORE than glad to help you out sampling the ribs!

bridgelover said on November 6, 2009 at 4:06 PM

Luling City Market on Richmond @ 610. Sauce can not be beat.

fooeygirl said on November 6, 2009 at 4:58 PM

Rudy's - hands down best sauce too.

Demeris B-B-Q

caringprsn said on November 6, 2009 at 5:01 PM

Oh wow-when I heard this morning that ya'll were doing the best BBQ this morning--the very first one that came to mind is Central Texas Bar-B-Q in Pearland ON 518 off 35 ( just over the railroad tracks. Oh they are fabulous . The 2nd one that is almost as good ( but not in my #1 spot) is Joe's BBQ on Hwy 6 in Alvin. My neighbor does not have a computer & she asked me to put Gabby's on 45 down for her, as her vote for the best.

kduke004 said on November 6, 2009 at 6:07 PM

Joe's BBQ in Alvin is one of the best!....My wife could not stand BBQ, but after she tried Joes then her mind changed. If you have not eaten there, you are missing out!

srfrgrl said on November 6, 2009 at 6:18 PM

Goode's BBQ on Kirby. I've been eating there since I was a kid. Love the brisket (get the juicy top side, not the lean) and the jalapeno Czech sausage. The potato salad, jambalaya rice and pecan pie are the bomb!!!

davidinhouston said on November 6, 2009 at 6:44 PM

I think I've eaten at every BBQ place in Houston (at least all of those listed here). The best I've found (according to my taste buds) is Burns' Bar-B-Que located at 8307 1/2 DePriest. Their website states that they've been voted No.1 by Citysearch, AOL, Recognized on The Food Network Channel, Fox 26 and received several commendations from the Houston Chronicle, Houston Press and major magazines and publications. Their beans are positively the best anywhere.

troyg85 said on November 6, 2009 at 6:48 PM

Pappa's-Both Downtown Locations-On San Jacinto & Louisiana-Where serve everything Texas-Sized.

jim375 said on November 6, 2009 at 6:55 PM

brother inlaws on freeport has the best ribs in this part of texas hands down. their other bbq is pretty good too

classy66 said on November 6, 2009 at 8:11 PM

Cattle Drive BBQ on Center Street in Deer Park. Can't choose one favorite item - everything is great, reasonable prices, large portions.

lmoore9273 said on November 6, 2009 at 9:38 PM

Triple J's @ 6715 Homestead Rd.

hardluckwife said on November 6, 2009 at 9:39 PM

The BBQ Hut in Magnolia by far has the best! The baked potatoes alone can feed 2 & the banana pudding is to die for!

vaquero said on November 6, 2009 at 9:52 PM

Goode's on Kirby is very good, but the new one just off 249 north of 1960 is the best in town. Try the spicy pork. It doesn't get any better than this!

raymon said on November 6, 2009 at 10:07 PM

The Swinging Door near Fulshear has them all beat! Goode's has some pretty good bbq though! Since Pappa's took over the Luthers bbq stores, it has been down hill since!

roobylicious said on November 7, 2009 at 12:02 AM

Central Texas BBQ in Pearland on FM 518...without a doubt the BEST BBQ

caringprsn said on November 7, 2009 at 12:59 AM

Another reader mentioned The Swinging Door ( in fact -read 2 postings) . I forgot to list them......When my husband & I lived in Sugar Land, before he passed.......we loved going there. Had them cater our Rehearsal Dinner many many yrs. ago!!! So, yes, they get my vote But now that I had to move to Alvin, after my husband passed, I still vote for Central Texas BBQ in Pearland on 518 off 35 and then Joe's BBQ on Hwy 6 in Alvin. Sounds like alot of wonderful ones have been mentioned. KHOU will enjoy going to sample on this one.

genedonahue said on November 7, 2009 at 5:36 AM

Burns BBQ is the best in town. Better that Themla and any others BBQ that are list above. That schack Burns BBQ is the joint to go to if you want some real Texas Style BBQ.

fracturenurse said on November 7, 2009 at 7:20 AM

Red River BBQ in League City!!!

thehatchetman said on November 7, 2009 at 7:55 AM

i think that the best BAR-B-Q has to between Papas and McKenzies BBQ in Conroe

happygetlucky said on November 7, 2009 at 1:46 PM

If they were still around I would say the Cellar Door, but they have been gone many years now. Thelma's rocks. Brisket BBQ in Bellaire has the best BBQ baked potatoes, weighing in at a hefty 4 pounds. YUMMY.

bugmenot12345 said on November 7, 2009 at 2:02 PM

Midway Meat Market in Katy has the Best brisket in Houston.

Joe's BBQ in Alvin...ALWAYS great food!!

sweetfatory said on November 7, 2009 at 8:46 PM

No Name BBQ in Pasadena, Its on the corner of Pasadena Blvd and Hwy 225 They treat you like family when you get there. Amazingly enough if you go in enough they will even call you by your name and know what you want to eat. They are a great place to get ribs. UMMMMMM!!!!!

lonakay2000 said on November 7, 2009 at 9:25 PM

Spring Creek Bar BQ on 1960 W. They have the best Ribs.

markfive said on November 8, 2009 at 5:43 AM

Hey mabusincarnate can citysearch tell you how alot of these places food really taste, no! Youre missing the whole point. You know what, you stick to citysearch, I'm going to try some of the places that people have already ate at.

rustx65 said on November 8, 2009 at 8:44 AM

My vote goes to Joe's BBQ in Texas. Their chicken platter is so good, my mouth is watering just think about it. Everything is great including the prices! Trust me, at Joe's you'll always leave happy :)

newtune3 said on November 8, 2009 at 9:32 AM

Grand Prise BBQ in Texas City has the best tasting tenderest rids going and the suce is to die for.

starbucksslave said on November 8, 2009 at 9:43 AM

just moved to Montgomery and so far we LOVE Kirby's Lone Star Smokehouse! If you can drive by and SMELL it smokin', that is a tell-tale sign that it is good BBQ! You can ALWAYS smell it smokin when you drive by on hwy 105 West! worth the drive! thanks for the heads up on McKenzie'sand Vernon's. will have to try those, too!

Thelma's BBQ on Southmore has the best fall-off-the-bone pork ribs in town and the best brisket. Second best brisket is Pappas BBQ on either 59 South at Bellaire or on Bissonet. Pappas has the best beef ribs I have ever tasted. Third and Fourth Place BBQ places are Triple J's on Homestead and Burn's on DePriest. Now I'm hungry for BBQ! Guess what's for lunch?

foxfroggy said on November 8, 2009 at 6:59 PM

Inside Houston it is hard to beat Goode Company on Kirby for consistancy and variety. The duck is awesome but you will keep gravitating to the succulent brisket. The very best area barbecue is the pecan smoked heaven that is Dozier's in Fulshear. Well worth the drive.

ladyshe said on November 8, 2009 at 8:44 PM

Burns bbq on DePriest hands down it's awesome!

Hands down. Joe's BBQ in Alvin is absolutely, positively the best BBQ anywhere. The BBQ baked potato is to die for. If you like seafood the buffet on Friday and Saturday is something you should definitely try.

elsiebee said on November 9, 2009 at 12:45 PM

Central Texas BBQ in Pearland, Texas is the very best. Family owned, Great taste, great service, great portions. Catered my daughters wedding and a family reunion. Everyone raved about food.

bokot said on November 9, 2009 at 12:46 PM

When near Conroe I never fail to stop on FM 830 for BBQ at Texan BBQ. Good food and priced fairly.

pops2004 said on November 9, 2009 at 12:48 PM

Joe's in Alvin is by far the best. I have eaten there at least once a week since 1984. They have great food and people too. Diane is the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must try it and the BBQ sauce is UM UM gooooood. Thanks Pierson a satisfied customer for life.

Smokey Moes BBQ in Willis is to die for there ribs are so great and the BBQ is the greatest

When one feasts on barbeque, Scott Leopold's in West Columbia should be tasted. Wow! Sausage, brisket, steaks, chicken, turkey....delicious!!!! Texas hospitality at its best! Can't beat the meat, sides, site and service. Enjoy!

My vote is for Thelma's Barbeque on Scott street in HoustonTexas. Her ribs are awesome they just fall off the bone and her tea is the bomb so sweet and tasty you have to go back for more. I also like Burns Barbeque his sauce is great and last but least I have to vote for my hometown place which is Scott's Barbeque in West Columbia, Texas his beef is so good.

Joe's barbeque in Alvin is the best. I have had some of the others that are listed and I really like Joe's the best.

Best BBQ in the Houston area is Red River BBQ on FM 518 in League City just west of Clear Creek High. THE BEST Sauce around!!! We actually buy bottles of it and give it as Christmas presents!

Hickory Hollow in the Heights!

Living in the Houston area for over 38 years, Joe's BBQ in Alvin beats them all, hands down.

Rudy's on IH45 North near FM2920 - Without a doubt - best quality meat and flavor - meat & sauce - great environment - good gas prices too. We recent converts and really enjoy.

Old Hickory Inn Barbecue~~ FM 1092 in Missouri City, Hwy 6 So - Mission Bend, and the original location Chimney Rock @ S. Braeswood. Voted Best Ribs in Ft. Bend County by Fort Bend Lifestyles & Homes. The best Chopped Baker around.

I've had A LOT of BBQ and THE MOST DELICIOUS is: GATOR JUNCTION in Wallisville (on I-10 about 25 miles west of Winnie) IT IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!! WE TELL EVERYONE WE KNOW TO STOP BY AND THEY ARE SOOOOOOOO GLAD WE DID!

Vicente i am JEALOUS! You should invite a KHOU viewer along during the 'taste/testing' phase of your weekly surveys. Would be a perfect way to get more viewers / readers over to channel 11 I VOLUNTEER! (BBQ at Thelmas!!!!!)

elisa said on November 12, 2009 at 7:49 AM

Nowhere else but Alvin, Texas for the BEST BBQ, Joes BBQ on Hwy 6, you will wonder why you waited so long to try it. Everything is great on their menu and they have wonderful cobblers to eat for dessert!!

lmedward said on November 12, 2009 at 8:18 AM

Thelma's BBQ is best. Nowhere else but THELMA'S!!!!!!

maryid said on November 12, 2009 at 9:00 AM

CENTRAL TEXAS BBQ, Pearland, Texas!!!

rustx65 said on November 12, 2009 at 9:49 AM

Wow, either some Big 6 employees bombarded KHOU or that place has some great BBQ. I'll definitely try it out since it has gotten such praise here. In the meantime though, my #1 vote is for JOE'S BBQ IN ALVIN - Fantastic BBQ and their cobbler, oh my goodness their cobbler... it is sinful, it is soooo good! You can never go wrong with JOE'S!

chunydogg said on November 12, 2009 at 10:56 AM

BIG 6 BBQ is the best thang since slice bread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ribs fall of the bone!! Great prices!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DOMINO!!!!!!!!!!! If you want real BBQ and NOT boil meat with sauce!!!!! go 2 BIG 6

gaya121 said on November 12, 2009 at 11:50 AM

If it has to be an establishement located in Houston, I'd say Hickory Hallow. However, if it can be anywhere in the general area then it's Central Texas B-B-Q in Pearland!!!! They have the best brisket and their sauce is awesome!!!!

bbq4us said on November 12, 2009 at 12:40 PM

Lyndon's Pit BBQ on Hollister off of 290 has them all beat. Don't use the sauce until you have tried the meat.

tricia0914 said on November 12, 2009 at 1:02 PM

John Henrys is the best! They are not a restaurant, but he teaches you how to cook BBQ and then you get to eat it at his class. WONDERFUL.... He has been featured on the Food Network as well as cooked for George Bush Sr. Located at I45 & Little York! When you walk in it feels like home!

mslady said on November 12, 2009 at 2:34 PM

You can't beat Kozy Kitchen on Lockwood Dr. in Houston. Best old fashion homemade links ever.

idebose said on November 12, 2009 at 3:39 PM

Pearson & Company Best BBQ In H-Town.

msomg said on November 12, 2009 at 3:41 PM

Pearson & Company Best BBQ around town that I have found.

swukoson said on November 12, 2009 at 7:15 PM

Hey, David Paul! GATOR JUNCTION BBQ MEATS ARE THE BEST! (HOMEMADE SAUCE IS OPTIONAL!!!!!!!) Just thought you'd like to know........go east on I-10 , look for gator junction sign..... (don't be put off because it appears to be a gas station) . It is located in Wallisville and well worth the trip! They will cater gatherings in Houston!!!!
