The Best Restaurants Near 1701 Barbecue, by the Record

  1. Rank 1. BB's Tex-Orleans

    Cajun & Creole


  2. The crawfish come from the fields you can see from your table, which is either the most logical supply chain imaginable or a mild existential moment for the mudbugs. This BYOB boil house sits about an hour outside Houston, and the lines form by six, so early arrival is less a suggestion than a survival skill. Tours and boat excursions through the rice and crawfish fields are available if you call ahead. Order by the pound or go straight for the full feast.
