Recommended BBQ joints in the Houston area?

[jcrntx]

Have to pick up a couple of the kids coming back from a cruise in Galveston next Saturday (15th) and thinking about heading over to Houston Friday afternoon. There is a gun for sale I am thinking about picking up and looking for some delicious BBQ for dinner Friday. Don't have a room yet so any area will work. Thanks

Killen's in Pearland is pretty good.
They always have a loooooong line so be prepared for that.

Joe's BBQ in Alvin is great.
Central Texas BBQ in Pearland, is pretty good as well.
Just my $.02

Goode Company is very good.

Galleria area I like Luling City Market ~ Real Texas Bar-B-Que

Downtown area try "TexasBarBQueHouse.com - Texas Pit BBQ in Downtown Houston"

Forgot to add, there are a few Rudy's locations in the Houston area also.

A second on both Goode Company and Rudys. There is also several Ottos locations.

Killen's in Pearland
Corkscrew in the Woodlands
Rudy's all over town
Goode Company is alright

EDIT: I am remiss in not including Pappas barbeque. Careful, their portions are huge.

Triple J's smokehouse on homestead. About 1 mile north of loop 610. Burns BBQ on Depriest.

Seriously? Goode Co makes Rudy's look like a gas station heat lamp affair.

Dunno your plans or route, but Leon's in Galveston is great. Goode co is great but seemed pricey to me. Carl's bbq way up hwy 290 passed hwy 6 is awesome.

Can't go wrong with Goode Co or Pappas.

You could also check out one of my favorites, Armadillo Palace - Goode Company, Houston Texas - Restaurants, Catering, Pecan Pies & More!

If you don't like the menu, too crowded, too noisy, etc. get up and walk across the street to their barbeque place. Don't even have to move your truck. Or drive a block down Kirby to their Taqueria.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! Think I will give Goode Co a try in Katy as I should be hitting there around 630 or 7 on my way into town.

I haven't been there but several people have told me they are really good.

I have to agree with glockster on that.

Goode Co isn't bad but it definitely has that chain restaurant feel. It's also not in Katy but on the Katy Frwy between the loop and beltwy 8. For something a bit more original try Nonmacher’s Bar-B-Que on Mason. Been open for 30 years and is great. Midway is also very good and well worth a visit if your in Katy. Leon's in Galveston is also as good or better than anyplace yet mentioned.

Dickinson BBQ is excellent and on your way to Houston from Galveston turn right on 517 it's about 1.5 miles on the right

I have to agree with glockster on that.

Sig line updated.
