  • 2009 | Best Comfort Food

    Barbecue Inn has been a Houston favorite since the 1940s, and most of the waitresses appear to have been there just as long. The food itself is long on comfort — the same hearty and delicious chicken-fried steaks and fried shrimp platters that... More >

  • 2007 | Best Fried Chicken

    For the best fried chicken in town, there's nothing like homemade. But if mama's isn't available, there's always the Barbecue Inn. I know, you're thinking, BBQ Inn? Yep, BBQ Inn. When you order the Southern fried chicken, you will face two... More >

  • 2005 | Best Vintage Fried Chicken

    Barbecue Inn is frozen in time. At this place, it's still 1946. Just take a look at the menu, and sample some of its old-fashioned East Texas diner cuisine. Some people come here just for the chunky french fries. Others adore the old-fashioned... More >

    Fried in the Heights

    By Robb Walsh | Thu, October 28, 2004

    The St. Louis-cut pork ribs are coated with coarse black pepper and swathed in the aroma of smoke. The meat doesn't fall off the bone -- instead, it's a little bit firm and pleasantly chewy. This is the first time in my many recent visits to Barbe... More >

  • Deja Barbecue

    By Dennis Abrams | Thu, June 17, 1999

    I ate at Barbecue Inn on the recommendation of my next-door neighbor. It's not the kind of restaurant that would normally draw me in. First off, the neon sign scares me. Barbecue, steaks and seafood. Call me a purist, but to my way of thinking... More >
