Just tried Pierson & Company...you should correct your pick to say that Pierson & Company may be "Texas' Best Barbeque"!Left smelling of mesquite and I'll drive back anytime for more next time I have a party! Moist, unlike the rest, with real smoke and flavor that can't be beat. Pierson & Company does meat miracles and charges way less than the well-known, coasting places that have most people's attention.

Friendly, accommodating and spotlessly clean, this top-notch barbecue joint has recently opened in Acres Homes not far from the ashes of the late great William's Smokehouse. Owner Clarence Pierson is a bear of a man who knows his smoked meats. He cooks on an honest-to-God, wood-fueled, Houston-made Klose barbecue pit — not one of those gas-fired stainless steel virtual barbecue pits that burn a little wood every now and then. Pierson's deeply smoked brisket is remarkable, and his pork ribs are tender yet chewy. The Louisiana-style beans are mixed with meat and lots of seasonings so they resemble a cross between baked beans and chili. Desserts include homemade peach cobbler and bread pudding. There's one big family-style table in the middle of the dining room — pull up a chair and make some new friends.
