3 Best Barbecue Places Near Pasadena, TX

Nothing says Texas quite like a juicy, meaty portion of your favorite barbecue, and there’s no place in the state that does BBQ better than Pasadena, TX. We’ve searched high and low for the top choices in town, and we can confidently say that these three restaurants offer only the best barbecue. Keep reading to discover what made the cut.

1. Andy’s Hawg Wild Bar-B-Que

Andy’s Hawg Wild Bar-B-Que serves some of the best meat in town available for dine-in, carry-out, delivery, and catering services to your next big event. Plan your visit around the daily specials which feature fried chicken on Monday and Wednesday, meatloaf on Tuesday, pot roast on Thursday, and catfish and shrimp on Friday. Add a Fully Loaded Potato with bacon bits, cheese, sour cream, chives, and butter to your main course for a traditional savory addition.

When it comes to the BBQ itself, we like both the BBQ plates such as the 3 Meat and the Chicken Fried Steak along with the BBQ Sandwiches including the Pulled Pork Tennessee-style and the Chopped Beef on a toasted bun. Try one of the extras like Andy’s Porka-bobs made from deep-fried pork shank, the Cowboy Bites with cheesy corn, and the Armadillo Eggs made from stuffed jalapenos. Don’t forget a specialty fruit cobbler baked fresh daily for dessert!

2. Grand Prize BBQ

Grand Prize BBQ earned a feature in the Texas Monthly Restaurant Guide for its hand-selected meats smoked in a wood-burning pit, sides made from scratch, and affordable prices. Start your meal off with the Waffle Fries and Onion Rings Combo, the Boudin Balls, the Cheese Sticks with BBQ sauce, or the Deluxe Combo Appetizer Plate to try a bite of everything. The Pit-Smoked Jambalaya and the Jalapeno Cheese Bread are also perfect for an appetizer or side dish.

If you’re a sandwich fan, we suggest the Texas Grilled Chicken Sandwich with guacamole and pico de gallo, the Rib Sandwich with 1/2 pound of meat, or the Atomic Burger with grilled jalapenos and cheese. The BBQ dinners all include two choices of sides with only the freshest cuts of meat, and smaller portions for children and seniors are available. Treat yourself to a signature Texas-Sized Tea and a slice of homemade pecan pie for a sweet touch!

3. No Name Bar-B-Q

No Name Bar-B-Q is located in the Ship Canal area and well-known for the “Best Ribs in Houston” served sizzling, saucy, and smoky. We especially enjoy the PoBoys with sliced beef, chopped beef, link, ham, turkey, or pulled pork. Any of the side choices will take your meal to another delicious level, and our favorites include the pinto beans, the Cajun rice, the mac & cheese, the green beans, the potato salad, and the chili ranch-style potatoes.
All dinners are served two sides and your choice of one meat or a mixture to sample your favorites; alternatively, ask for your favorite BBQ priced by the pound to customize the size. We couldn’t forget the special Rack of Ribs that No Name Bar-B-Q patrons and first-timers alike swear by, and we highly recommend it for a meal fit for a king. End your meal with the banana pudding for a traditional Texas dessert!
For BBQ that exceeds every expectation, these three restaurants are sure to hit the spot. Once you’ve finished your chicken, pork, steak, or rib dinner, stop by Monument Chevrolet for a first-class Chevrolet experience from the best customer service in the state!
