Texas style Cafe with barbecue and chicken fried steak and shrimp. Actually the shrimp is pretty damn good! Everything on the... menu is good but nothing outstanding other than the shrimp. Really good service worth stopping in for lunch or dinner service isabove average, you will go away with a smile Read more
Garden Oaks/Heights staple for generations! They have an excellent Chicken Fried Steak! I get it with the baked potato! I... also love their fried shrimp! Fresh, bright, and always butterflied! Fried chicken is a WIN - just be prepared to a littlelonger wait - because it’s fried to order! Don’t forget the pie! Prompt service from friendly folks! Read more
This place is awesome. Stuck in time. Waiting for Alice, Flo, of Helen to show up as our waitress. The atmosphere is old school.... They show up with a basket of crackers and butter. Remember those days? Service is excellent, sweet heart or darlin. Weordered the fried chicken dark only 4/5, fried shrimp 4.5/5. Sides mashed potatoes and gravy 4.5/5 and fries 3/5. The salad isold school iceberg and tomato 4/5. Dressing choices equally old school 4/5. I forgot how good captain wafer crackers are. Leaveroom for pie. Chocolate meringue 5/5 and pecan pie 5/5. My college age daughter loved “the vibe” of this place. Read more
Nice quiet restaurant. Definitely a favorite among long time customers. Food was cooked to order and was fresh. Lovely long time... waitresses. Teresa was so nice and attentive. Very family oriented. A little disappointed with the Chicken Fried Steak. Manyreviews rated the Chicken Fried Steak as excellent. It was good, but maybe I was expecting more because of the neighborhoodreviews? Not sure. However, I will say the Southern Fried Chicken was very tasty. Read more

Service was nice and prompt and the food was pretty good. Ribs were a little more lean than I like, but still flavorful. Fried... chicken was nice and crispy! Even after sitting there for several minutes, I bit into the chicken and it was still hot andsteaming on the inside! I read that BBQ Inn has been around for decades so they definitely know their fried chicken. Steppinginto this place was literally like stepping back in time. Read more
We ate here twice within 24 hours and bought a T-shirt: that pretty much says it all. Barbecue Inn has the best shrimp with... homemade dill tartar sauce in Houston, and the lemon meringue pie is magical. The service is Southern charm at its finest. OwnerDavid is a true Southern gentleman, and service was exceptional with Theresa. The chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes andgravy, barbecue sauce, baked beans, brisket, fried chicken, and St. Louis style ribs were all infused with traditional, homemadecharm. Barbecue Inn should be on any Best of Houston list. Read more
My meal was outstanding. The homemade thousand dressing was top notch. The chicken was outstanding. The kitchen messed up my... order. Took long time to come out. My waitress stayed on top of this. The owner covered my meal. Outstanding service and tookthe extra mile to please this customer. Bravo Read more
