5% Cash Back at The Brisket House

"Brisket Done Right" is the headline Katharine Shilcutt gave to her review of Houston's much-ballyhooed Brisket House. Her review went on to say, "Only last week, I was lamenting the lack of truly good barbecue within the Houston city limits...As if in answer to my plaintive question, whichever part of the universe that is responsible for 'cue karma sent me to The Brisket House (5775 Woodway) this afternoon. I emerged 30 minutes later absolutely redolent with the scent of oak, pecan and meat, glorious meat." And here final assessment of the brisket? "It was juicy, tender, smoky, hazily unctuous stuff -- the kind of brisket you'd truly make if you had a Saturday to yourself in the backyard." How do these guys achieve such perfection? First, the meats are smoked over an oak and pecan fire to give them a unique flavor. And, of course, these folks make their own BBQ sauces and sides from scratch, so count on being barraged with fresh, bold flavors. Better yet, you can have your choice of meats (Brisket, House Sausage, Hot Links, Pork Ribs, Chicken, Smoked Turkey) in a sandwich, atop a salad, or piled high on a BBQ plate. And to go with, we recommend the Baked Potato Salad, Cole Slaw and Pinto Beans. P.S. There are flat-screen TVs for sports enthusiasts, plus this is a BYOB, so bring your friends and have a party! NOTE: Takeout & Catering Available. LOCATION: AT THE CORNER OF WOODWAY AND AUGUSTA, JUST A FEW BLOCKS FROM THE GALLERIA IN HOUSTON'S TANGLEWOOD/MEMORIAL AREA.
