Henderson & Kane

We were in town from North Dakota, so it was a must to find good bbq. After about 30 minutes of research, I came across Henderson & Kane and am so happy that I did. Reviews make a difference, especially to small businesses! We arrived around 5:30 pm on a Saturday and was greeted with a warm welcome. There were maybe 6 customers sitting down, but after ordering, a steady flow of customers came through to get food or to shop in the store. Between the 2 of us, we had the fall off the bone pork ribs, juicy brisket, very flavorful boudin sausage. The sides are to die for! The super creamy Mac n cheese is some of the best I've ever had. The charro beans had the perfect amount of spice without being too much. The potato salad was better than my gramma's and the cream corn has whole corn in a sauce that in out of this world. Don't forget to check out the desserts. Banana pudding, cheesecakes, tarts, carrot cake . . . Take some home!

Came for dinner. The food is really good. Briskets were tender and juicy. The pulled pork delicious. The baked potatoes incredibly loaded. My only disappointment were the ribs. They were pretty dry. Even bbq sauce did not help. It was more chewy than tender for my taste. The side dishes were amazing. Really delicious. Green beens perfectly seasoned with just the right crunch. Mac N Cheese is a must try. Staff were all friendly and helpful. And to top it all off, it's also a convenience store you can buy knick knacks and canned/bottled drinks, etc.

I came in about an hour before closing and STILL had one of the best BBQ experiences I’ve ever had. The staff was so welcoming even that late in the day, and the food tasted like it had just come off the smoker. The brisket was tender with the perfect smoky bark, the ribs fell right off the bone, and the sausage had amazing flavor. The sides were just as good — the mac and cheese was creamy, the beans were seasoned perfectly, and the potato salad tasted homemade. Even close to closing time, everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The service was friendly, fast, and never rushed. You can tell they really care about the quality of their food and the people they serve. If you’re in Houston and want true Texas BBQ, Henderson & Kane needs to be on your list. I’ll absolutely be back!

This place is super cute, casual, and has many different snacks and treats for you to buy. We ordered the brisket and the chicken platter with sides of green beans, mac & cheese, and corn as well as a sweet potato and they were all on point. The service was great, very friendly and polite despite having a very busy day, we were the last couple customers there and they were still super nice.

Absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff made us feel genuinely appreciated, not just like another table. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care and pride. Every dish exceeded expectations, and the attention to detail really showed. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and you could tell this is a business that truly cares about what they do and the people they serve. If you’re in Houston, this place is an absolute must—worth every minute and every bite.

I visited for the first time and the experience exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere, the service, and every detail were amazing. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor. This is definitely a place I would come back to again and again. Hands down, the best BBQ in Texas is right here.

This is a great family owned barbecue place that offers great portions and delicious food. It has a old town country store vibe in Houston’s bustling downtown area. The brisket was very tender and melted in my mouth. It paired with the barbecue sauce very nicely. This place offers a variety of special throughout the week. I enjoyed $20 steak night on a Monday and was thoroughly impressed. Seating is limited, so come early, but this place is definitely worth a try.

My partner and I went on a double date here just yesterday. The customer service was through the roof. We had so many questions and they were all answered with patience and kindness. The food was exceptional. We specifically loved the brisket, the spicy boudin, Mac and cheese and the chicken. All tens in my book. I’m so excited to come back.
