HOUSTON \u2013 If you\u2019ve ever made the drive to Austin just to try Terry Black\u2019s BBQ, or found yourself watching influencers rave about its massive beef ribs and melt-in-your-mouth brisket, good news: the famous barbecue joint is finally headed to Houston.<\/p>\n
Terry Black\u2019s BBQ announced it will open its first Houston restaurant on Aug. 18 at 1329 N. Shepherd Drive in the Heights. The long-awaited opening means Houstonians will no longer have to make the trip up Interstate 10 to get a taste of one of Texas\u2019 most talked-about barbecue destinations.<\/p>\n
Since opening in Austin in 2014, Terry Black\u2019s has built a national following, thanks in part to social media, celebrity visits and viral food videos featuring towering \u201cdino\u201d beef ribs, brisket sliced to order and classic Central Texas barbecue. The restaurant has become a must-stop for tourists and content creators alike.<\/p>\n
The Houston location will feature the same menu fans know from Austin, including brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, smoked turkey, house-made sausage and classic sides like mac and cheese, green beans and cornbread. Guests can also enjoy desserts like banana pudding and mini pecan pies, plus Texas craft beer, wine and frozen margaritas.<\/p>\n
The new restaurant is designed to be a destination of its own. It includes indoor and outdoor seating, six 1,000-gallon offset smokers fueled by post oak, an elevated loft for private events and even behind-the-scenes pit tours for barbecue fans.<\/p>\n
Houston already boasts one of the country\u2019s best barbecue scenes, with favorites like Truth BBQ, Blood Bros. BBQ and Pinkerton\u2019s Barbecue earning national acclaim. Now, one of Austin\u2019s biggest names is entering the mix, giving locals another reason to debate who serves the best brisket in Texas.<\/p>\n
If the lines at the Austin location are any indication, expect plenty of barbecue lovers to show up hungry when Terry Black\u2019s opens its doors next month.<\/p>\n
