When Russell and Misty Roegels moved to Katy 20 years ago, they considered the fast-growing suburb as a possible second location for their Galleria-area barbecue joint, Baker’s Ribs. But then life got busy. They started a family. Baker’s Ribs became successful, and they eventually transformed the restaurant into Roegels Barbecue Co.
Fast forward to 2021. Their kids had graduated high school. The original Roegels location has become a Houston barbecue staple with a loyal clientele and dedicated staff. The time was right to move west. Though they considered other areas like the Energy Corridor and Cypress, Katy was always their first choice.
