Lonestar Sausage & BBQ

Lonestar Sausage & BBQ
Former U. of Houston football star Kevin Mason perfected the art of sausage-making in his kitchen while working as a sheriff deputy; after retiring, he went full time in the barbecue business in 2019.

In a nondescript strip center south of the 1960 area, between a daycare center and a tire shop, this tiny space pushes out big flavors, including some of the best Polish/Czech kielbasa-style pork-and-beef sausage you will find, along with SETX-style boudin, and a throwback Beaumont-style beef juicy link.

The rest of the trinity – brisket and ribs – are also worthy, and on Fridays he serves some of the best fried catfish and shrimp at any Houston barbecue joint. Rib tips are a special on Thursdays. There’s a small dining room inside and a big picnic table outside, but there’s plenty of take-away orders flowing through so feel free to get it to-go at Lonestar Sausage & BBQ.
