Back HomeLooking for Mouth-Watering BBQ in College Station? Here’s Where To Go

If you’re looking to satisfy your BBQ craving in and around College Station, these are the best restaurants to go to:
1775 Texas Pit BBQ
8203 Raymond Stotzer Parkway Suite C, College Station, TX 77845
1775 Texas Pit BBQ stays true to its homegrown authenticity and charm as a family-owned and operated business despite having been named as one of 2019’s Top 25 New Barbecue Joints in Texas by Texas Monthly magazine. Open only from Thursday through Saturday, this barbecue joint boasts of a unique elusiveness that just adds to its growing legend. Also because of this limited schedule, this place sells out quickly, so make sure to come early.

C&J Barbeque
4304 Harvey Road and 105 Southwest Parkway, College Station, TX 77840
From its humble beginnings as a gas station-slash-barbecue corner way back in 1981, C&J Barbeque has certainly come a long way. It took a decade and a half for owners Chip and Jo Manning to move out of their convenience store location and dedicate their time and attention to a deli-style barbecue restaurant. It’s a change that has paid off, as C&J Barbeque would eventually be recognized as the Reader’s Choice Award for best BBQ in the Brazos Valley in 2000. This BBQ joint hasn’t looked back since.

In addition to the top-notch food, the place itself is worth experiencing, with large porches and a green area designed for all-ages fun and games.
