One of Houston's most celebrated barbecue destinations is turning up the heat with a brand-new space. The Michelin-rated joint, known for its melt-in-your-mouth brisket and inventive approach to Texas-style barbecue, has officially opened a second location. This new spot blends the comfort of a neighborhood smokehouse with a nostalgic, retro-inspired design that stands out in Houston’s ever-growing food scene.
Located in a lively pocket of town, the new outpost brings the same commitment to craft barbecue that made the original a hit.

The restaurant’s team has doubled down on creating an atmosphere that feels both fresh and familiar, inviting visitors to step inside, slow down, and savor the flavors.
What Makes This Location Special
The newly opened venue is all about character. Think classic diner touches, warm wood tones, and pops of vintage décor that give the restaurant an old-school charm. While the look may lean retro, the food is as modern and refined as ever.
Fans will still find the smoked turkey, ribs, and brisket that helped earn the barbecue joint national acclaim, including nods from Michelin inspectors. To celebrate the opening, the team has added rotating specials and new dessert offerings that reflect the spirit of the neighborhood.
Why It Matters for Houston’s Dining Scene

The second location allows more diners to enjoy one of the region’s most praised smokehouses while adding a fresh destination for locals exploring new flavors.
This growth also highlights the continued momentum of Houston’s homegrown food entrepreneurs, who are reshaping the city’s dining landscape with creativity and dedication.
