Pulled Pork in Houston, TX

If you're craving authentic, slow-smoked pulled pork in Houston, TX, you've come to the right place. Our pit masters use traditional techniques and local woods to deliver tender, flavorful pork that melts in your mouth. Whether you need catering for a party or a quick lunch, we've got you covered.

Our pulled pork is crafted from locally sourced, bone-in pork shoulders, seasoned with a signature dry rub and smoked low and slow for 12-14 hours over post oak and pecan wood—a nod to Texas barbecue traditions. The result is a rich, smoky bark with juicy, pull-apart meat that pairs perfectly with our house-made sauces, from tangy vinegar-based to sweet and spicy. We offer it by the pound, on sandwiches, or as part of family-style platters. In Houston, where barbecue is a way of life, our pulled pork stands out because we focus on quality over quantity. We source from Texas farms, use no artificial additives, and smoke in small batches to ensure consistency. Whether you're hosting a backyard gathering in The Heights or a corporate event in Uptown, our catering options include delivery and setup, with portions starting at 5 pounds. We also offer a loyalty program for regulars. Local specifics matter: we understand Houston's diverse palate, so we offer both classic Texas-style (no sauce, just meat) and regional variations like Carolina-style with coleslaw. Our location in the East End makes us accessible for pickup, and we partner with local breweries for pairing suggestions. Don't miss our weekly special: every Wednesday, get a pound of pulled pork for $12.99. Ready to taste the best pulled pork in Houston? Call us at (281) 905-2414 to place an order or book catering.

Do you offer gluten-free or keto-friendly options?

Yes, our pulled pork is naturally gluten-free and low-carb. We serve it without sauce upon request, and our dry rub contains no gluten. Pair it with our sugar-free coleslaw or smoked vegetables for a keto-friendly meal.

Can I order pulled pork for a large event like a wedding or corporate party?

How far in advance do I need to place a catering order?

We recommend at least 48 hours for small orders (under 20 lbs) and 5–7 days for large events. However, we can sometimes accommodate rush orders—just call us to check availability.

Do you ship pulled pork outside of Houston?

Currently, we only offer local pickup and delivery within a 20-mile radius of Houston. For shipping, we recommend checking with national barbecue purveyors, but for the freshest experience, visit us in person.
