Barbecue Inn (Texas Country Reporter)

[@dean828]

Respect for the traditions and passion this family has put into their business... love how they honor the memory of Elnora the waitress... 1948-1976... 28 years of her life she gave to her job... and this family... God bless Texas! I enjoy watching the Texas Country Reporter... howdy from the land of fried chicken... Louisville, Kentucky, USA!

Yale and Crosstimbers, born in 58 and grew up less than 1/2 mile away. One of the few great places left in Houston. Still go there today.

[@dr.lorianne]

[@Roques-rage1706]

[@kendrapaige9]

Love this place. Not a native Houstonian, but got lucky enough to find this special spot when I saw an article about it several years ago.

[@wizardsouthJP]

Some of the best grub you’ll ever have - always a treat to eat at BBQ Inn - love it.

[@joeayala4812]

Father & sons look alike just like twins they are definitely blessed.

[@NSP70]

As a chef, it it stories like these that matter. Reaching people (customers and workers) at the dinner table level. It means something. This father and son care about what they do. They are professionals and know how to bring people together. God bless them.

[@misscharlotte5075]

I told my daughter wanted to go to Texas so we can eat at all these wonderful restaurants. Looks great. We live in Missouri!!😊

[@michaelengland6534]

[@dalemiller6103]

We ate there last Friday to Celebrate Father's Day. I've been eating there since the 1970's.

[@elizabethguynn6873]

Great food! The waitstaff is wonderful and most have been there for more than a decade, 2 decades in some cases. I have to agree that the fried shrimp is really good, so are the fried oysters. Really like their ribs too! Try the loaded baked potato...yum.

[@Roadrunner78626]

God Bless us all❤Keep the Faith ✝️🕊🙏🏼❤️

[@bosse641]

Best fried shrimp in Houston.

[@user-momof7]

Better than Christies? I've gotta try this place!

[@zabadazidit]

I went to high school with David's sister Cindy, and I never knew that her family owned this place! Now I need to get my CFS fix...

[@debsguitar2]

[@danatcanyonlake583]

They forgot to mention the PIES!!

[@GTA6VIGameguy]

[@Michael85338]

[@MrDoneboy]

[@bigron725]

Looks really good . Y'all should try Babe's Chicken in DFW . Roanoke was the original spot .

[@Diana-yx8dh]

The shrimp is real good. Lemon pie is good too

[@cedricanderson2609]

I love the chicken there!

[@ceebee8042]

Ok I must go when in TX

[@juanmunoz8715]

Ranch dressing is real good. Everything is good

[@Diana-yx8dh]

The fried chicken is the best!!!!

[@keithweyel6615]

THE BEST THE BEST Lucky enough to say first time was 1975 !

[@artgalvanjr994]

Great food all of it Hands dwn best fried chicken like it was fried 1946

[@artfisher1235]

Chicken fried steak. That tells me that you have a great number of exceptionally hard working physical laborers toiling in sub freezing temperatures who desperately need the 2,500 calorie meals these dishes make for.

[@delvinjohnson4379]

The owner looks and sounds exactly like Nick Saban 😳

[@somapersona]

Only native Houstonians know about this place, and it's not in the best neighborhood. Fake Californians that think all of Oak Forest is called the Heights don't know about it at all.

[@dr.lorianne]

😂😂Right! And Third Ward, now “Midtown”. Nothing like being a native Houstonian…we’re rare!

[@jessegarcia2060]

I'm 49 dude an from Houston an not once did I ever consider thos place...wtf is wrong with me..😂

[@stanschmitz5566]

I'm gonna call and see if they will deliver, to St Louis. 😋

[@dr.lorianne]

😂…y’all have good BBQ there too! We’re blessed to have so many good places in Houston.

[@kennkenn6126]

Pay for a new ceiling..

[@mikefatah]

H-Town!!

[@prankster671]

Wonder if the fried chicken is better than KFCs original recipe fried chicken?

[@Diana-yx8dh]

Way better!

[@ronaldgavlick732]

A sign that says No Blacks Allowed , You know your lyin

[@dr.lorianne]

Those days are long gone. Can’t try that anywhere in Houston these days!

[@z-z-z-z]

ronaldlicky732 - quit being tarded'...

[@janicetrivette6262]

😊

[@rickray9102]

What they didn't talk about is when black people couldn't eat there. If you noticed in the video, the only black people there were working.

[@vanityminger8547]

I worked there and it’s the most racist establishment I ever seen. They have kept the tradition of not allowing black people to work in the front as a host or waitress. U can only work in the kitchen and mr Wayne doesn’t allow the waitress to speak to the all black kitchen workers. Traditionally blacks couldn’t dine in they had to receive there food out the back door. I’m seen Wayne pick food out the garbage heat it up on the grill and reserve it. The only reason the chicken ever runs out is because mr David can remember to order properly due to the amount of illegal narcotics he uses daily. The hygiene of the men seasoning the bbq and cooking the chicken is appalling at best. I have seen him lick his hands from the mustard and continue to season the public meat and food. While jerry the head cook scratches so bad he tears his skin apart in the flour bowl because he can’t get ride of the bed bugs at his residence. Which he had for over a year. That picture of the lady is Wayne’s ex mistress that he had relations with while he was married. The place is full of roaches. So happy when I was able to find another job because the treatment of people by them is horrible. There very sexist. Just wanted people to know the truth about this establishment because in Houston there are hidden gems and great places to eat. But this ain’t one of them. There over priced as well for 3 pieces of chicken and u could get robbed in the location as well. If u wanna get there don’t let me stop you but I would have my coins for a different bbq place.

[@chrisdaigle3588]

Ya know, people can say anything, especially hiding behind a keyboard. If things were really that bad, somebody would've gone to the city or the TV station by now, and it would be out there. It sounds like sour grapes to me........

[@dannycook9433]

I stopped watching it she took over the show! 🙄🙄🙄

[@jeffw4007]

Overeating Americans. The human body is not designed consume so much food. Obesity is a serious problem in this country

[@jeffw4007]

You’re killing your selfs slowly eating that greasy food
