I was severely underwhelmed when I went here the other day. We waited an hour for the food, which, while better than most of Houston's "bbq" options, was decent at best. I guess I've just been spoiled by real pit bbq out in the Hill Country.

Gatlin's

Goode Company Barbeque
At Gatlin's, low and slow are the keywords in this family's burgeoning barbecue empire. There's barely any seating inside, and only a small attached patio, but that doesn't stop the lines from forming outside the front door every single day, demanding Greg Gatlin's brisket and ribs. Unusual for a barbecue joint, the sides are just as craveable as the meat: Try the dirty rice and you'll leave an avowed liver lover, and get some creamy coleslaw for a little crunch alongside your meat. And when they say, "Love is the secret ingredient" here, they mean it: You'll always get service with a smile and a gentle reminder not to leave without dessert.
