Our history

A Family Tradition

The Barbecue Inn was founded in 1946 by Louis and Nell Skrehot. After finding the perfect location on Crosstimbers, Louis began converting the little house, building a new storefront façade, and the original barbecue pit. Starting with a simple menu of Barbecue, Louis added other items over time.

We have high hopes that this Skrehot family tradition will continue with a Fourth Generation serving you in the not-so-distant future. If you have not had a chance to visit, we invite you and your family to come by and enjoy an experience reminiscent of times past and a real taste of Houston nostalgia.

We invite you to come and see what 67 years of delicious food, excellent service, and great value have kept The Barbecue Inn a constant landmark of hope in the Greater Oaks and The Heights area for just about 7 decades… they must be doing something right. Come taste the difference.
