North Houston residents crowd into this storefront every day, looking for tasty, genuine pit barbecue. And for more than 20 years, they've been getting it. Burn's is a no-frills operation, a tiny waiting room with a cashier sitting behind the counter, a few plastic lawn chairs and a soda machine in the corner. The menu is pretty slim, too: Brisket, sausage, ribs and chicken, two side dishes, potato salad and beans. You'll find a few slices of homemade cake next to the cash register. That's it. You have to ask for pickles, onions and extra sauce when you order or you won't get any. All the orders are takeout, although a couple of picnic tables sit out front for on-the-spot eating. So why is this place always so crowded? Because the food here is delicious. A long-kept secret of the African-American community, Burns is almost legendary. It's the standard by which people in the know measure all other Houston bar-b-que. There's a lunch plate available, but after 3PM you have to order everything a la carte, thankfully each serving of meat is enough for two. -- Olivia Flores Alvarez

Add CommentTry Four Seasons Smokes Instead
bbamaster724 - 07/02/2008Very disappointed. Beans are out of a can. Food is not that great. BBQ sauce is fair. If you want the best BBQ go to Four Seasons Smokes on Antoine. FOur season's ribs and home made sauage are to die for. Very nice people. Everything is smoked.
Really Good
Givenfavor - 06/30/2008I tasted their bar-b-que for the first time back in May, and it was GREAT!
I was a little deterred by the building but the food quickly eased that obstacle. I have eaten their again since then and the food was just as good as the first time. the thing I like about it is that even if you refrigerate and reheat the meal it is still GREAT! Beats Spring Creek Bar-b-que.- Taylorchi5 - 06/29/2008
The Best Event
Ghpcfanclub - 06/06/2008It is worth the drive. Do not care where you live in Houston. Do not care where you have ate bar-b-q. You really never have eaten it until you have tried Burn's. I live a good 45-50 minutes from Burn's and will pass 20 bar-b-q places in between. Why settle for less than the best. The place has the best ribs and potatoe salad you will ever try. Bar-b-q is at the top of my list of favorites, and I have tried it from coast to coast. I would rate Burn's a 10 Gold Star. Don't expect a fancy place just the best bar-b-q you will ever put in your mouth!

THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL REAL TEXAS BAR BQ YA'LL
HESAIW - 05/31/2008I am very picky and I have tried all the barbeque places in Houston (baked and rough meat from the others) but BURN"S BAR BQ is the prized winner in my book. I am from Houston and I am a TEXAN! You will find the pit smoking in the back and your stomach will start to rumble from the smell of the barbeque. They are friendly and if you need to have some meat smoked they will do it at an awesome price and you will be happy! Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping it real- TEXAS STYLE BABY!
