Restaurants in Spring

CorkScrew BBQ earned a Michelin Star in 2024 and has been drawing lines to a Spring, Texas side street since 2015. Open Wednesday to Saturday, 11 AM to 4 PM only, it sells out fast. Advance ordering is essential. At a $$ price point with prime brisket and beef ribs smoked over red oak, it is the strongest case in the north Houston area for a dedicated barbecue trip.

A $$ Mexican restaurant in a Spring, TX strip mall with a 2025 James Beard Award for Best Chef: Texas, back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, and a 4.8 Google rating across 420 reviews. The price-to-credential gap here is rare nationally. Book early — this is a hard reservation to land, and it earns every bit of the difficulty.

Rosemeyer Bar-B-Q holds back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025) and a 5-star Google rating, making it the most credentialed barbecue stop north of Houston. At a $$ price point, the quality-to-cost ratio is hard to argue with. Go early in the day — serious Texas pits sell out, and the best cuts go first.
