Houston’s barbecue story starts long before the lines and the hype.

In 1935, John and Leila Davis opened Shepherd Drive Barbecue and cooked on open brick pits — the same pits that still smoke Houston’s Best Ribs today.

Recognized as a Texas Treasure by the Texas Historical Commission. Still cooking on the original 90-Year-Old Brick Pits.
