Wil JeudySeptember 27, 2016Whatever they use to smoke the brisket - wonderful. The fatty parts are heavenly, the lean parts are ok. I'm not a fan of pork ribs, but here they are terrific. Also great: come slaw, patio, service!
Leslie GarzaApril 11, 2015The brisket was amazing. I would go back and get brisket, potato salad and cobbler. Done. We got there at 10am on a Saturday. The line and wait gets long so I would get there early!
Bradley BullMarch 11, 2020Best brisket on the planet! Chopped w/sauce mixed in is killer!! Pulled pork , turkey, and pork ribs are also great...never a bad day here because it’s smoked all day, ever day. Great people!
- Todd KunaJuly 27, 2018Outstanding BBQ with meat that melts in your mouth. And make sure to grab a cobbler of the day or five!
- Jeremy HallSeptember 4, 2014Allow extra time to stand in line. The food is in demand for a reason. Everything on the menu is amazing. Food truck becomes destination. Entrepreneurial success.
Matt SharpDecember 8, 2017I had the brisket, pork ribs and sausage. All tasty. Really wanted a beef rib but they only have those on saturdays. For me brisket>pork ribs>sausage
LisaNovember 11, 2015(they had the wrong address!)...i was hoping to get a baked potato but it was sold out. But the brisket sandwich was like heaven in my mouth and loaded with brisket, enough to make 2 sandwiches! 😍

Houston PressAugust 12, 2014The red oak smoke on the barbecue at CorkScrew BBQ is what sets its pit apart from so many others in town. Read more
Jojo PerezNovember 13, 2013I missed out on the ribs so i sttled for a two meat sandwich it is a bit pricey but the portion is decent the pork is a bit on the sweet side and not totally seasoned but still tasty- Scott S.January 16, 2017Brisket is king here, followed closely by pork spareribs. Big beef plate ribs are available on Saturdays, and are excellent!
Sookie StackhouseFebruary 4, 2016It opens at 11:00, but the line starts around 10:00 and it's open until the BBQ runs out, which is usually pretty early afternoon.- Best BBQ in this part of Texas. Expertly smoked brisket, ribs, chicken. Pulled pork tacos are a surprise, and a must try. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
One of the best bbq in Houston. That moist brisket is just so good! Peach cobbler amazing!
Kornel RostJuly 22, 2016Get there early and pick a middle number to get the freshest cuts. Everything there was great!
Ryan HandrahanAugust 4, 2017Been to 16 of the Top 50 so far and this is one of my favorites! The brisket is incredible.
Gabriel GrimesOctober 11, 2015The beef rib was all that was left but I wasn't disappointed. The crust was a delightful pepper rub a day the beef was slow cooked to perfection.
Like us on Facebook...We'll keep you updated on Holiday orders, Holiday hours and we post every day when we are sold out
Jeff ColwellApril 8, 2019Probably the best bbq in the Houston area. Super friendly staff....I had a blast.- The brisket is top notch but the pulled pork holds its own. I'd put this pork up against anything the south has to offer.
Nick HanemannMarch 14, 2019Best brisket I’ve had at a non-Jewish restaurant. Mac n cheese is righteous
Jackie GilchristApril 3, 2014Most flavorful pulled pork I've ever had. Mac n cheese was yummy. Peach cobbler was awesome.
- Sookie StackhouseFebruary 4, 2016All of this plus a sweet tea and a beer for $45. And the BBQ results are in, yes it's fantastic and priced well, I say too well. OuR Personal Fave Pulled Pork. Everything was delish and tender!!
Best BBQ around. And dont even think about adding sauce to the brisket, its already perfect

"Some of the best BBQ - get the brisket and pork belly and be sure to try the Carrot Soufflé. It does not disappoint and is more dessert than vegetable."
