Houston Barbecue Co. has opened at 1127 Eldridge Parkway. The restaurant is the first for Kurt Craig, who ran Luling City Market on Richmond Avenue for more than 16 years. The barbecue is authentic Central Texas-style oak pit barbecue, and all menu items are cooked fresh from scatch daily. The restaurant opened with a large number of corporate accounts for deliveries and catering. Craig says the west Houston area and Energy Corridor have been as supportive of his new venture as the Galleria-area workers were of Luling City Market. -September 20-26, 2002
Goode Company Barbecue still reigns as the best barbecue in town according to readers. In fact, of the 18 establishments in this category, Goode Company Barbecue had more votes than all the rest of them combined. The restaurant has been in business for more than 25 years and is still packed on a Sunday afternoon. Otto's Bar-B-Q smokes Pappas Bar-B-Q this year as it moves to the second spot, leaving the third for Pappas. Luling City Market Bar-B-Q Restaurant & Bar and Luthur's Bar-B-Q also receive a fair amount of readers' praise for their ribs and variety of condiments. A newcomer to the category, Houston Barbecue Co., also receives enough votes to compete with the big boys of barbecue.

Looking for another restaurant recently, two friends and I stumbled upon Houston Barbecue Company and we're glad we did! HBC is a very clean, respectable , not to mention comfortable, place to eat lunch or dinner with a lot of just good ol' regular folks serving you. The dining room is surrounded by unfinished wood planks and topped by wagon wheel chandeliers and ceiling fans, and the whole place smells fabulous with a rich barbecue smoke aroma. The service is buffet style. You get a tray and slide it along the front of the food service area, then pay at the end of the line. They slap your meat on a stretch of freezer paper and hand it to you sans plate. I've eaten at a few places like this and it's a real good, down-home way to eat barbecue. Kurt and Treca Craig, owners of Houston Barbecue Company, explain to customers that theirs is real Hill Country barbecue, smoked for nine hours in their two large covered barbecue pits filled with nothing but oak. All of the menu items are made from scratch daily and almost all of them are pretty good. One of my friends had the two meat platter with the ribs and a small bowl of chopped beef. She really liked the chopped beef, which she said left her "mouth on fire, but it was a good fire." The barbecue sauce is a little sweet, a little tangy and not at all like most sauces you find at barbecue places around here. It has a mustard-vinegar base and is quite good. You can buy bottles to go for $3.50. The ribs were meaty and came easily off the bone. The brisket also was tender and not too dry the way you find it at some places. The sausage links were very unusual. They're made fresh daily and are a German recipe handed down in the Craig family. The outer skin is crunchy, smoky and delightful while the insides are a surprising texture of ground meats and seasonings that fall apart as you cut into it. They're delicious. The prices are very reasonable. All in all, this was an excellent find for a trio who set out to find an Italian place and ended up with some really nice Texas Hill Country cuisine. - Houston Barbecue Company received 4 stars for service, 3 stars for ambience, 5 stars for cleanliness and 4 stars for food from the Mystery Diner of the Katy Sun and The Memorial/Spring Branch Sun. The highest rating for each category is 5 stars.

This location may be a little west of where you live, but if you love barbecue, this place is going to knock your socks off. Houston Barbecue Company serves real Post Oak Pit BBQ. That means the only fire in the pit comes from burning post-oak logs. Owners Kurt and Treca Craig know their Q. They formerly owned the Luling City Market on Richmond Avenue for more than 16 years. I went to the pit, and the smell and look of the slow cooking meat (nine hours for the beef) made my mouth water, and I couldn't wait to bite into it. I love the look of the dining room. Rustic would describe it, but it is so much more. Treca wanted wood from an old farmhouse. She went on the Internet, saw a number of old houses that were available, reviewed samples, and the end result is this gorgeous graying wood from an 1850 Nebraska barn. All the tables were handmade by Kurt, and the chairs were purchased separately, each one different. Wagon wheel chandeliers finish off the look. For the more conventional folks, there are four TV's and a full bar.There are a few unusual twists regarding the way Houston BBQ dishes out the meat. You order at the counter, and you can get a slice or a pound or whatever you want. You pay by the weight. A little of this and a little of that works just fine. Then, they put the slices or ribs or links on butcher paper and place it right on your tray. In effect, the tray becomes the plate. If you want sides, you pay for whatever you choose. It really doesn't cost any more than conventional BBQ places; you just get to choose more of what you want. Another thing: no BBQ sauce at the counter. It's in a bottle on every table. Made fresh every day, their special sauce is a little sweet, a little tart and like nothing I've had before. If you like it, you can buy it by the bottle.The BBQ Brisket has a rich beefy taste without that sweet overly smoked flavor you find in many restaurants. It was moist and tender. I had Chopped Beef on a bun and even the chopped beef was lean and not the least bit greasy. They also serve Chopped Smoked Turkey on a bun, and, you'll be pleased to know, these are onion buns. Smoked Chicken is terrific, filled with flavor, still moist on the inside and crisp on the outside. Ribs are lean and cooked to perfection. Thick slices of Smoked Turkey Breast are perfect for dieters. In fact, Treca told me many diners on the Atkins Diet eat there, and one told her that in 2003, she had already lost 50 pounds. (Jared at Subway-better watch out!)As for side dishes, this is my kind of thick-cut cole slaw. It's a little sweet, a little tart with lots of shredded carrots. Potato salad has a nice flavor, and pinto beans are delicious without added BBQ sauce, or, if you like, simply add some at the table. Not many desserts, only two-individual Pecan Pies and Chocolate Chip Brownies. They are baked in house, and both are delicious. If you are having a party or a meeting, Houston BBQ caters, delivers and ships and will also provide service staff at your location, set up and serve the BBQ. Houston BBQ is located at 1127 Eldridge Parkway, north of Westheimer - 281/531-6800.November 13, 2003 - Eating Out with Ted Powers

Cathie Lee Mann of Houston says the recently opened Houston Barbecue Co., 1127 Eldridge Parkway, deserves her time and effort to write this letter. She loves barbecue but not the "oversmoked", overseasoned, overrubbed, overcooked kind you get at most places." She prefers quality meats that are tender and lightly smoked. Houston Barbecue Co. offers just that. She's eaten there at least 20 times. The smoked chicken is delicious and there is outdoor dining by the pond. "Most barbecue leaves me with indigestion and lingers far too long. Houston Barbecue's meats settle in gently and don't leave any of the unpleasant after effects."- January 3, 2003
Excerpts taken from the May 23, 2003 Dining Guide. Come on baby, light a fireHouston Barbecue Company serves good if not memborable food!"With its good-quality meats and excellent side dishes, Houston Barbecue Company makes a nice addition to the neighborhood.""I do admire the house-made beef links here. They're very smoky and well-seasoned, with a texture that hovers interestingly between rough and smooth. And the big, meaty ribs can be awfully satisfying, particularly if you arrive when they've just been pulled from the pit and still have their crustiness intact.""Once you've got a layer of rib meat on a slice of Mrs. Baird's (the sine qua non for this delicacy), all you need is a few rings of crisp, mild onion and a couple of hot bread-and-butter pickles, plus a few jolts of thin, red-peppery sauce. Yum.""And I give HBC owners Kurt and Treca Craig much credit for declining to sugar their side dishes to death, the way too many Texas barbecue joints seem to do. Both their church-supper-caliber potato salad (the genuine, freshly made article, not some mummified industrial substance) and bouncy, thick-cut cole slaw are only marginally sweet. They're way better than the usual run of barbecue side dishes.""I've had no problems at HBC, where the counter staff seems perfectly willing to slice it our way, even if it means an ungainly slab from the fatty side of the brisket, the way one of my barbecue cohorts likes it. That turned out to be a pretty wild, slippery-slidey hunk of meat."Alison Cook-Houston Chronicle Restaurant Critic
