Order Online Smoke, Fire & Family At Houston Barbecue Company, we cook the honest Texas way — low, slow, and over post oak wood smoke until the bark sets and the brisket turns tender. Each morning, well before dawn, our pit master starts the smokers the old-fashioned way, coaxing out the tender, smoky flavor Texans love. Alongside our hand-carved meats, we offer a variety of home-style sides and desserts made in-house every morning, plus hearty family packs built for sharing with the whole table.With over 20 years in the restaurant business and family-owned and operated since taking over in 2014, we're dedicated to producing the finest Central-Texas barbecue and providing an exemplary catering service across the greater Houston area. We've weathered plenty along the way, including Hurricane Harvey, which flooded our Energy Corridor location with three feet of water and forced months of renovation — but we've come back each time more focused on delivering a welcoming experience and superior service. Whether you swing by our Houston pit or order online, you're getting real, made-from-scratch barbecue served with genuine Texas hospitality.
