Slow-smoked over post oak for 14+ hours. Deep smoke ring. Crackling bark. Juicy, tender slices. This is Texas brisket the way it was meant to be -- at Harper's BBQ in Houston Heights.
Order OnlineGreat brisket isn't rushed. At Harper's BBQ, we start our briskets at 2 AM for afternoon service. Each USDA Prime brisket is seasoned simply -- coarse salt, black pepper, a touch of garlic -- then smoked low and slow over split post oak in our offset smoker for a minimum of 14 hours.
The result: a jet-black bark, a smoke ring that goes deep into the meat, and slices that hold together but fall apart the moment you take a bite. No gas shortcuts. No shortcuts at all.
Houston Heights has become one of the city's premier food destinations -- and we're proud to be part of that story.
