CorkScrew BBQ was rated with one Michelin star in 2024, becoming one of the first BBQ spots in the nation to receive one.<\/p>\n

The Michelin Guide honored three more Texas restaurants with its one-star rating Tuesday night at a ceremony in Houston, which did not receive any new star ratings but garnered some other culinary designations.<\/p>\n

Last November, the Michelin Guide announced its first-ever Texas restaurant list, awarding 15 Lone Star State restaurants with a one-star rating \u2014 six of which were located in Houston<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since starting in 1900 as a means to promote the France-based Michelin tire brand, the Michelin Guide has grown to become known around the world for its restaurant and hotel ratings based on a three-star system for restaurants and a three-key system for hotels. As of 2025, there are more than 150 three-star restaurants in the world, with 13 in the United States. <\/p>\n

While no Houston-area restaurants received new star ratings this year, several received recognition in other Michelin awards. <\/p>\n
