Best Barbecue Restaurant in Houston

Thurein P.

A local restaurant with incredible customer service. Felt so welcomed. Had BRISKET and Spicy Smoked Cheddar SAUSAGE with GREEN BEANS and SWEET POTATO SALAD (never had the salad prepared this way - one of a kind). Extremely delicious BBQ! Finished up with an Americano and house-made GINGER ORANGE COOKIES while ... sitting in one of the chairs outside where I could feel the sunlight on my face. Had an amazing afternoon. Thank you guys. Unrivaled southern hospitality. I love Houston. Read More

Was very impressed with the food and service here. The Brisket was very moist and was cooked to perfection. The ribs were great as well. We got chips and queso, it was a large serving and had a good Smokey flavor. The restaurant is in an old corner market and sells a lot of local made foods and goods. Will be going ... back next time I’m in the Houston area. Read More

Delicious BBQ and the staff is great. Wish we lived near by! The jalapeño sausage is spicy and I love spice, it definitely had a kick to it. Sauces supplied were great and about 3 options at the table. Very much a neighborhood spot, seemed like staff knew many regulars.

Absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff made us feel genuinely appreciated, not just like another table. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care and pride. Every dish exceeded ... expectations, and the attention to detail really showed. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and you could tell this is a business that truly cares about what they do and the people they serve. If you’re in Houston, this place is an absolute must—worth every minute and every bite. Read More

Meat is so juicy! Literally best meats we’ve had in Texas. The sweet potato’s are so so unique. Also the atmosphere is really cute and unique. Got to meet the owners and they were kind which is always nice because you know you are supporting a good business!

I came in about an hour before closing and STILL had one of the best BBQ experiences I’ve ever had. The staff was so welcoming even that late in the day, and the food tasted like it had just come off the smoker. The brisket was tender with the perfect smoky bark, the ribs fell right off the bone, and the sausage had ... amazing flavor. The sides were just as good — the mac and cheese was creamy, the beans were seasoned perfectly, and the potato salad tasted homemade. Even close to closing time, everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The service was friendly, fast, and never rushed. You can tell they really care about the quality of their food and the people they serve. If you’re in Houston and want true Texas BBQ, Henderson & Kane needs to be on your list. I’ll absolutely be back! Read More

This is a great family owned barbecue place that offers great portions and delicious food. It has a old town country store vibe in Houston’s bustling downtown area. The brisket was very tender and melted in my mouth. It paired with the barbecue sauce very nicely. This place offers a variety of special throughout the ... week. I enjoyed $20 steak night on a Monday and was thoroughly impressed. Seating is limited, so come early, but this place is definitely worth a try. Read More

My partner and I went on a double date here just yesterday. The customer service was through the roof. We had so many questions and they were all answered with patience and kindness. The food was exceptional. We specifically loved the brisket, the spicy boudin, Mac and cheese and the chicken. All tens in my book. I’m ... so excited to come back. Read More
