This place has a special place in my foodie heart! The interior being a historic convenience store makes it feel homey and very local. I got here often with my roommate and always have a great time mix and matching any 6 beers into a 6-pack deal. The fatty brisket and sausage is amazing. I love that they offer a variety of menu items now as well. Steak nights, wine nights, and brunch options show how much effort they put in. I wouldn't say the bbq is the best I've ever had in Houston .... BUT still deserves a 5 star review in my book. read more

Update: Veronica reached out to me willing to make this experience right. Issues will come up from time to time but how you handle them says a lot about you as a business owner. I'm adjusting my review to reflect Veronica's willingness to turn this experience into an opportunity. We were looking forward to trying this restaurant while staying at a hotel in Houston for medical treatments. We had it delivered to our hotel and sadly it wasn't the best experience. When we got our order to the room we were missing one side that we ordered. We got Mac n cheese, green beans and potato salad with a brisket/smoked chicken combo and a brisket/ribs. I was shocked to see two pieces of brisket and a chicken breast for $28. Maybe it was an off night but the quality just wasn't there. All the food was cold (our fault bc we ordered it for delivery) and was lacking flavor. Overall, we'd rate it like this: Brisket 3/5 Chicken 2/5 Mac n cheese 1.5/5 Green beans 3/5 Ribs 3/5 Potato salad 2/5 Maybe they were having a bad night but I wish our experience was better. read more

Henderson & Kane - Brisket and Smoked Chicken combo plate $28 - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is great and it has a small neighborhood vibe! Raw Steaks for sale along with a bunch of goodies, but I came here for the barbecue. Atmosphere was perfect for Texas BBQ. I ordered the ribs in the jalapeño cheddar sausage, but got the brisket with sausage.. very happy they mixed that one up because the brisket was extremely juicy tender and had a great flavor on that bark. They did it perfect! The jalapeño sausage was a little dryer that I like it to be especially for having cheese in there. Still ate it and it was great.! So good I forgot to take a picture We'll definitely be going back to this place! read more

Came here on our last day here in Houston and I must say it was one of the best BBQ spot I have ever tried here. We ordered sliced brisket with mac n cheese, coleslaw, chopped brisket sandwich, and a pecan pie. The sliced brisket was so juicy and tender with so much charred flavor. The meat was cooked to perfection and got me wanting more! The mac and cheese wasn't too overwhelming and actually complemented the meat. As for the brisket sandwich, I thought it was good in terms of the meat, however, I must say it reminded me of sloppy joes too much. If I had to choose, I prefer getting the brisket sliced over chopped. As for the coleslaw, it was fresh and not too overwhelming with the mayo, which I love. The ratio of cabbages and carrots were evenly distributed. Lastly, the pecan pie was not too sweet and really soft yet crunchy. Overall, I would love to come here again, it was honestly one of the best! read more

Wish we had BBQ like this in Columbus; everything on the sampler plater was delicious and the staff was super helpful and welcoming. It's not just a restaurant they also have a store where you can buy all kinds of goodies, sauces pickeled veggies, specialty chips, etc. And it seems like they have a ton of regulars. Please come to Columbus Ohio!! read more

We ordered BBQ at the counter and then walked around the store with my glass of wine. The cashier was welcoming, patient, friendly, & answered our questions. We ordered the combo plate to share: 2 meats & 2 sides. We selected smoked turkey (AMAZING!) and brisket (yummy!) with the creamy mac n cheese and sweet potato with kale sides. The creamy mac n cheese was delicious and served hot & very creamy. The sweet potato and kale was tasted fine, but served warm so I think I didn't get the full flavor. Walking around the store is a nice way to wait for your name to be called and see what you need to purchase. They had a lot of items they made & package up, like butter mix, cream cheese mix, tamales in the freezer, and juices. They cary a lot of Texas-made brands & more. Even saw a wine from Alta Marfa. And their wine bottles are 10% off when you buy three! read more

A local restaurant with incredible customer service. Felt so welcomed. Had BRISKET and Spicy Smoked Cheddar SAUSAGE with GREEN BEANS and SWEET POTATO SALAD (never had the salad prepared this way - one of a kind). Extremely delicious BBQ! Finished up with an Americano and house-made GINGER ORANGE COOKIES while sitting in one of the chairs outside where I could feel the sunlight on my face. Had an amazing afternoon. Thank you guys. Unrivaled southern hospitality. I love Houston. read more

Recently visited Houston and of course, wanted to try alllllll the Bbq. I also prefer to try smaller, local restaurants versus big chains. Nothing wrong with the big chain restaurants but the small local places are hidden gems and something you can't get anywhere else. Thanks to yelp, I discovered Henderson & Kane. It is a small corner market in what seems like a neighborhood. There's a cute little free library out front and it doubles as not only the barbecue Café, but also a little corner market. I ordered a brisket sandwich and mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was flavorful and creamy. The sliced brisket was tender and had an amazing wood smoke flavor. I'm a pickle girl and the pickles were a little disappointing because they seemed like food service pickles but trust me I would still eat here again. The sandwich didn't even need any pickles because the flavor of the brisket was perfection. We sat at the tables in the middle of the store and I got to look around and really enjoyed the store. I tried a local homemade seltzer, which was delicious as well. I definitely think Henderson & Kane what's the exactly what I was hoping it would be. The small, local hidden gem that makes amazing food and makes you feel like your family when you're there. read more

Just had steak night at H&K, and 5 years ago, I felt like the steak night was pretty solid, and tonight I still feel it is super solid. I appreciated how everything looks almost the same. the only thing I thought that was different was that the bread was thinner than it was before. I would also order medium, because if you order medium well, it's probably going to turn out well done. I actually need to come back for the BBQ! Service is good, ambiance is the best that it can be, intimate, and lively. on the weekends yeast co, is there, and the sourdough is top tier, H&K have a really good thing going, and I always adore them and what they have been doing for the community. if you haven't been, come by and check them out sometime. read more

This is a cute neighborhood spot. It's a corner store/coffee shop/bbq joint all rolled into one. The atmosphere is a quaint little general store. We came here on a whim and the bbq was actually really good. The brisket was so damn tender and flavorful. I actually enjoyed this place and would certainly come back. I want to come check out their steak night also. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The guy at the counter even brought me a rib to try because he saw me eyeing my wife's plate. Overall this was a good pick. 8/10 read more

Still fantastic and my favorite BBQ spot in Houston and the place we take our friends and out of towners. All of their meats are great but idk what they do to their turkey. It's always juicy and has an amazing flavor. I also make sure to buy their BBQ sauce to take home. Truly one of my Houston gems. read more

I was in town for a convention and we had worked all day and built up wuite the appetite. I had on my list to get some BBQ while in Houston. I wanted a place that had the meat combo and sides and Killens had many options. I hot the jalapemo link Pork BBQ, and brisket. I also got some potato salad and baked beans. The sausage was the star of my meats. I am somewhat spoiled for pork bbq as my family is from North Carolina so I have eaten at lot of that style over the years. The brisket was my least favorite and I wished I didn't get that. It was really wet and fatty. The sauce was good and the sides both very good. This is a dive BBQ place like eating at a roadside shack and pretty small. We were fortunate to get a table. It is counter service. They do have an extensive market here as well. It's worth a try if you're in the area and the prices were very reasonable. read more

Brisket was good not great. Mac n cheese was good but not enough noddle for the amount of cheese. Chicken was good but price was steep. And the server at the counter was disrespectful and had headphones in green beens raw and out of lots of stuff will not be coming back read more

Okay so I am a huge fan of BBQ. Today was another great day and I was able to eat some brisket that I must say was cooked to perfection. I was introduced to this place by a co-worker and boy am I glad I was. I ordered the ribs and brisket and he ordered the brisket and chicken. I forgot to take pics of my plate because I had dessert first and was in a daze from their Banana Pudding. Let me just say if you are in downtown Houston this is a must try place. The food is phenomenal and the little country store part of the restaurant has something for everyone. The staff was very helpful in suggesting the perfect size order for my other co-worker who wanted a smaller portion. The ole timey vibe of the place is awesome and takes you back in time. There are both inside and outside seating if you wanna dine in. read more

I stopped by Henderson & Kane in Houston and tried the brisket, mac & cheese, and some ribs. Hands down, the brisket was my favorite--tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sides were decent, but the barbecue itself really stood out. I was with a group for work so we got plenty of photos. Customer service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Just note that this is more of a store/pick-up spot than a sit-down restaurant, so don't expect a full dining atmosphere. Still, if you're looking for solid Texas BBQ--especially brisket--it's definitely worth a visit. read more

We came here on our last day of Houston and we truly saved the best for last. Even though we got the food to go, it was one of the best BBQ that we had during the trip, and we hit quite a few places during our stay. The sliced brisket was one of the best, goes so well with the mac n cheese, the middle of so soft it melts in your mouth, combined with the slight crunch of the charred ends, all seasoned with the right amount of peppercorn and salt. I'm getting hungry looking at the pictures again. We also had the coleslaw, and the chopped brisket sandwich. Chopped isn't as good as sliced, it wasn't as soft or juicy or flavorful, but it was still very very good. Also got the pecan pie to go, and it wasn't overly sweet like a lot of other pies were, with a nice contrast on soft and crunchy. Very nicely done read more

I honestly can't recommend this spot highly enough. As someone with a gluten allergy, I appreciated that their sauces are gluten free and they were knowledgeable about what I could eat on the menu. The service is phenomenal, and we were even offered samples. The restaurant also has a store inside of local goods. I will be dreaming about those bbq nachos - just divine. And enough to share...or not read more

Don't judge a book by its cover.... We've heard that a million times. When I put in the address I thought I was lost in the middle of a neighborhood. I couldn't tell if it was open or not but I opened the door and MAN am I glad I did. This is some of the BEST bbq that I have ever had. The owners are super nice, and most of all unlike that fact that you are eating in the middle of a convenience store! Brisket, turkey, chicken and pulled pork... as much as you want. Pull a drink straight out of the cooler and add it to your meal. About 20 craft beers on hand to drink with your meal or to take home. You better be hungry though, the portions are HUGE!!! read more

Came in on a Sunday afternoon feeling peckish. Place is a mixture of general store and bbq joint. Food 5/5: ordered their combo and got the smoked turkey and fatty brisket as they were out of the pork ribs. Also got Mac and cheese and their sweet potato and kale for sides and a boudin link. Brisket was amazing, as good as anything I've had in houston. Turkey was good, wasn't as moist as I would hope for top tier but wasn't dry either. Sides were all excellent Ambiance 5/5: part bbq joint, part general store, very folksy charm and experience. Had a great time perusing the store afterwards Service 4/5: very friendly and helpful with recommendations. Forgot my link but food comes out fast anyways so I just reordered it Value 4/5: pretty good price for the amount and quality of food given about on par with other bbq joints. Overall 4.5/5: good bbq and general store at a decent value plan to be back to try their pork ribs read more

Food was great. Brisket very tender and smoked chicken very tasty. We were sad they were out of potato salad however. We will have to go back for breakfast tacos and coffee. They also have a store with local curated goods from wine to jam, to sauces and honeys. Build a six pack or order drafts they certainly have plenty to choose from. Service staff were great. Very friendly and helpful. Great vibe with the music playing. Surprised at such a great place a couple of customers felt the need to be aggressive. read more

Location: by Washington and Houston's ave Parking: street parking/limited Staff: super nice and friendly. Sarah was phenomenal, had a little hip cup and she did not made it awkward at all. Wait time: @10minutes for food to be ready Seating: both indoor and outdoor Price: higher than average $7.50 for brisket taco with egg and beans. Drink: went for latte and it was good Food: they had bread sample with butter and jalapeño bread was delicious with the garlic butter. I had a brisket taco and I believe it's per brisket taste. I like my brisket more towards the burn end and I think me letting them would have helped my experience. Overall great place to try with lots of great items and phenomenal service. read more

Such a cute place! They have so many neat things in here! Everything from grab and go groceries/cold drinks, to a butcher shop, to full BBQ restaurant and little novelty items. I was craving some good Mac and cheese so I stopped in after my hair appointment (down the street) and bought some to-go. It was soooo good! Creamy and delicious-exactly what I wanted! And the other food from the restaurant side smelled amazing, so I definitely want to go back and try more! If you're in the neighborhood (literally, IYKYK), stop by and check it out! read more

Comfort food is needed after a cold snowy trek. We ordered the green chili stew, meaty Mac and a frito pie. The frito pie with chopped brisket was the best of my life. Man do I want to go back already for another one. The meaty Mac was great with pulled pork. I wish I would have thought of adding jalapeños. I feel a bit of a crunch would have made this perfect. The drink selection is definitely wide whether alcoholic or non. You will always find something to please you. Today I did a latte along with a real sugar Fanta. The service was extremely friendly even on this snow day. Quick and polite with all the attention to detail. When they learned we had walked there from our neighborhood near Studemont, we were even offered hot chocolate for the trek. Overall I'd definitely recommend going in considering how friendly they were even when they had to work instead of play today. Also the overall is so inviting there is no way you won't feel welcome with all the local goodies to eat there or take home. It's so cozy. read more

A perfect way to end a night. I dropped by Henderson & Kane tonight for an order I forgot to pick up. I was greeted and my order was bagged and ready for me. My order: *Loaded baked potato with shredded cheese, butter, and chicken *Mac n Cheese (elbow pasta in a creamy house made bechamel) *Sweet Potatoes with Kale (in an orange pepper rub) Once home, I felt absolute comfort when eating the mac and cheese. A sense of calm and an exhale after the first bite. Henderson & Kane makes brings you back to childhood in the days of mom and pop eateries. The building exterior, layout, flooring, and decor all tie together to transcend you to an eatery and grocer in a small town. read more

How have I never heard of Henderson and Kane. What an amazing place. The food is great, and the customer service is top-notch. I'm really shocked that I'm finally finding out about this place. Kudos to move into downtown and shout out to the app too good to go because that's how I found them on that app. Food: the brisket is simply amazing. Blown away. Every bite was top-notch. The spicy Boudin was just as good. I really enjoyed it. The macaroni and cheese is amazing. Every bite was simply the best. How could I leave out the banana pudding. Wow simply amazing. I also got some frozen brisket tamales to go. I cannot wait to keep trying more things off the menu because as of right now I'm blown away. This is some of the best barbecue in Houston. Come to find out the owner used to work with Franklin's back in the day. How cool is that. I was shocked to find out they've been here seven years and here I am barely showing up. Oh well, I'll definitely get to see a lot of me because I'm blown away by the menu and will keep coming back. I like the decor on the inside. It's pretty cool to have a general store right here in downtown. Once again, I would've never heard about this place until I saw them on the app too good to go . I'm super glad that I got their surprise bag because now I will keep coming back and trying more things off their menu. Easy five star review great job Henderson and Kane. read more

I originally left a lower rating after a disappointing experience, but I want to update it after hearing from the co-owner, Veronica. She reached out with such sincerity and transparency about what went wrong that day. It's rare to see that level of accountability and integrity in the restaurant world, and it really changed how I felt about the experience. I'm updating my rating to reflect the care and service I received after the meal--because good service doesn't stop at the table. Thank you again, Veronica, for following up and owning the moment. That kind of response goes a long way. Also want to say the space itself is such a gem. It's tucked into a specialty store which gives it this unexpected charm. There's something really warm and distinct about the ambience. It feels local, intentional, and full of character. read more

First visited through the TooGoodToGo program that they participate in, then went back on my own. I wanted to love this place more. Perhaps it was because I visited around few hours before closing. Ordered the brisket plate (fatty). Was a little disappointed with it. It wasn't as "melt in your mouth" as the top tier bbq places in Houston have it, and a tad dry. The sides were amazing though, as well as the service. I'll try again one day read more

You can do your order online and pick it up or sit inside and eat. I love how they have local products from other vendors to buy in the store read more

Found this place in yelp and glad I visited. It is located in what it looks like a residential area in a corner which made the parking a little difficult but was worth it. The inside looks like a grocery store with station in the back for food. Guy at the register was super friendly and gave me some suggestions on food. I landed on the chicken sandwich with a side of mac cheese. I must say the sandwich was just perfect, the chicken was on point, not dry or with too much seasoning. The side of mac and cheese didn't look as much but again, just on point! I ended with a 3 leches cake which was delicious. If I could give more than 5 stars, this place will be it. read more

H&K is my go-to spot for barbecue, breakfast tacos, brunch, and steak night. It is a hidden gem that deserves so much more recognition. Tucked in 6th Ward, the neighborhood shop that makes it a point to highlight local flavors, offers maybe the best mac and cheese in the city. The decor is old-school counter service, mixed with resale/repurposed/industrial tables and chairs. It is one of the few places that offers desserts, craft beers, wine, barbecue, breakfast, and brunch under one roof. My favorite is their 6th Ward Monday Steak Night, where they offer a choice between sirloin, strip, or ribeye. Order a side of beef tallow, trust me. read more
