BBQ - Humble, Texas

There's really three decent restaurants in Humble area (North of Houston) where you can get decent BBQ.

Tin Roof BBQ (281) 852-5577 - 18918 Town Center Blvd, Humble, TX (near FM 1960) http://tinroofbbqandsteaks.com/ has a lot of redneck charm (actual tin roof, wooden floors, Texas flags, etc.) and meaty pork ribs. They also serve the most delicious chicken in the area. Unfortunately, somehow they managed to make brisket consistently dry. Given the fat content of this cut of beef, that is a singular feat. Ron (the owner) says he will not give his customers fat. However, given the lack of this delicious incredient to all things smoked he might want to relax that standard a little. Put a little shine on that meat bro'!

Springcreek BBQ 281-812-0645 - 5613 Fm 1960 Rd E, Atascocita, TX. http://springcreekbarbeque.com/index.html This Texas franchise makes pretty good food if you're dining in. On take outs these wonderful folks take the opportunity to dump their ends and bones and call it ribs. Don't get me wrong. Sucking on smokey bones is not a bad thing but after all I am not a dog. I need some meat to go along with sharp teeth. If you still have room after the unlimited sides, hot/buttery rolls and good dine-in ribs; you can show the world the pig that you are and get hot peach cobbler with Blue Bell Ice Cream. Pretend that you just had a salad for dinner and is splurging on dessert.

Pappas BBQ (281) 893-5711- 706 Fm 1960 Rd W, Houston, TX near Deerbrook Mall at intersection of FM1960 and HWY 59. (If you haven't guessed - this is a small town of about 8000 people. Getting from one rib joint to the next is not that hard.) http://www.pappasbbq.com/home/This is only one of three that offers the classic beef ribs. Despite the name that stands for culinary excellence in steaks and seafood in this part of the world, their que is mediocre.
