Corkscrew BBQ becomes one of only four Michelin Star restaurants in the State of Texas. The other three are all in Austin; Corscrew is the only one even close to Houston (Old Town Spring). In a review in Business Insider after visiting all four of the BBQ restaurants, Katherine Stinson, the review's author, writes at the end of the review, "After visiting all of these Michelin-starred barbecue joints, CorkScrew was my favorite." I've said it before here, if you want great BBQ, Corskscrew is well worth the short ride to Old Town Spring.

I love me some Corkscrew that place is legit!!!!!! I've been a hand full of times and there has always been a crazy line and rightfully so I get it. I gotta say though we got us a home town hero in Firecraft! Firecraft is really dang good!

I think it's one of the only four BARBECUE restaurants in Texas that have a star. There are more (non-barbecue) restaurants in Texas that have a star. I'd really like to try Corkscrew but have never braved the line.

On a side note: I tried Tin Roof for the first time recently. They were the best BBQ I've had around here. (Used to get it in Lockhart all the time. Nothing compares.) I even liked Tin Roof better than Blood Brothers. ...but lord, since when is brisket $30 a pound??

I'd really like to try it but every time I drive by I see the line starting at 10:30 am. I love my BBQ, but I'm not willing to stand in line for an hour just to be told they are out of brisket by the time I get to order. I guess I'll stick with Firecraft!

seem2 : I've only been to Tin Roof once, and the food was below average. Maybe I should try it again. I really love Firecraft BBQ, though, and it's close to the office. Every time I've gone to Corkscrew I've gone home because the lines were too long!
Liked, did not love. Got a tiny peach cobbler for a high price, and there was flour in the center; ie, not stirred in, so did not bake. I pointed it out to the young man at the counter, and he said "that is how cobbler Is". I explained I had been making cobbler Longer than he had been alive, and No, there was Never just flour, sitting under the top crust. They offered to take it back, but Not to take it off our bill. BBQ is okay, but not great, and the 'line up' bothers me, as the POS system tells them Exactly what they sell per each day/hour/week/month. That makes it easy to Provide bbq, and not play the "oooh we Might run out" game. They will run out an Hour after opening, of some items. Hmmm. Not a retail game I choose to play. Rather drive to Liberty Co for Brothers or Big Franks bbq.

May I suggest a trip to Them Pit Room?
Richmond off Montrose. KHS. 2004 graduate owned. Michael Sambrooks. Good dude. BEST tortillas anywhere. Beef tallow from the drippings is the fat. Top quality proteins too.
Joe : Firecraft uses high quality proteins. Most don't. May I suggest a trip to Them Pit Room? Richmond off Montrose. KHS. 2004 graduate owned. Michael Sambrooks. Good dude. BEST tortillas anywhere. Beef tallow from the drippings is the fat. Top quality proteins too.
