Let’s all remember and honor Memorial Day on May 27 this year. It’s a Federal Holiday that occurs on the final Monday of May each year and is the unofficial start of the Summer. Most important, it’s the day we remember the men and women who perished while serving us in the Armed Forces. This day originally commemorated the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War but now is considered the highest tribute to all Americans who have fought and died in all wars. Take time to pay tribute to friends, acquaintances, relatives, and those unknown to you by posting your American flag or making a trip to the Veterans Memorial Cemetary on that day. If neither of those is possible simply remember them in your thoughts and prayers.
Since Memorial day is considered the start of summer you know what that means…barbecue and more barbecue! As one of the city’s best barbecue joints Triple J’s Smokehouse should be part of your regular dietary routine! This summer we will be featuring all of the most loved meats and side dishes that have made our restaurant one of the most talked about around town and in social media. But you already knew that didn’t you?
Come early and come often for our Raven Bowls, our tasty ribs, brisket, chicken, and homemade sausage. Don’t forget to pile on a couple of links of Louisiana Boudain, either! Our juicy chicken is just as popular as it ever was!
So, with the summer season upon us make sure you get as much Triple J’s barbecue, sweet tea, and frozen lemonade as you can handle; because we’re makin’ it all fresh for you each day!
We appreciate ya!
Our Ribs and Brisket are the BEST…but what about our Boudain?
It may not be much of a surprise to you to learn that ribs and brisket are two of the BIG sellers at Triple J’s. Both meats are slooooowwwww smoked over Texas post oak wood for many hours, after being rubbed with our special blend of spices and herbs. The smoke-infused meat takes on a special flavor that has made our barbecue famous all over Houston!
What surprised and impressed some of our followers was a recent article that appeared in Houstonia magazine. That article showcased “The 10 Best Barbecue Joints in Houstonia”. Although our customers know Triple J’s for outstanding smoked meats and sides someof you may not have tried the one item the magazine article had praise for. Here’s a portion of that article:
The brisket, ribs, and links are alone worth the trip, but the smoked boudin at Triple J’s Smokehouse is not to be missed. It’s a great example of the amalgamation of the pork-focused Southern barbecue tradition of East Texas with the Cajun/Creole flavors of Louisiana. The smoking process turns the natural sausage casing crispy and golden brown, and the pork and rice interior absorbs a wonderfully smoky essence. Squeeze some of the filling onto a cracker, top it with a dash of Tabasco, and enjoy one of the quintessential flavors of Houston barbecue.

Are you chained to the office???
If your work schedule keeps you tied to your desk at the office, it’s no wonder. Even in today’s computer world (where things are supposed to be easier and quicker) we still have a lot of data entry, email correspondence, and LinkedIn contacts to keep up with. Also, your supervisor may be staring over your shoulder to make sure the assigned task is finished on time. The pressures of the work week are not really any better than they used to be…in fact, they may be worse.
You need to make time for yourself! Once work is complete, and you’ve satisfied your obligation at the office, you deserve to pamper yourself. You say…well, that never happens; what I do is an ongoing process. Well, one thing is for sure: each work day comes with a lunch break. It’s a time where you like to “get away” and enjoy the views outdoors, grab a good meal at a nearby restaurant, and spend quiet time with your own thoughts and the reward of good food.
This is where Triple J’s comes in! You can be assured that if you head out of the office to get a quick bite to eat, we’ll be there and ready to serve you the kind of meal you want to enjoy in that brief time where you don’t worry about anyone but yourself. If your lunch break doesn’t allow you the time to sit and dine at our place you know you can get a sandwich and fries, a loaded baked potato, or a complete meal with your favorite barbecue meat, to go. Take it back to your work desk or your company kitchen and dig in. It’s a nice break from the boring old work routine you might be stuck with everyday. The only thing that co-workers may wonder about…is that big smile on your face once you return from lunch hour!
Come see us!
Barbecue: Where did it come from?

Growing up in the South most of us ate our share of barbecue so it’s a regular part of our diet. Did you ever wonder where this method of cooking meat came from? Well, I did so I researched it. One theory suggests that when the first Spanish explorers arrived in the new world they noticed that the natives often preserved their meat in the sun; only problem was that the meat easily spoiled and became infested with bugs. So the natives built small fires to create smoke that would keep the bugs away and while doing so put meat on racks over the fire. There are other theories of how the process of “barbecuing” began but today good pit masters use the method described above to render a good crust on the exterior of the meat, and great flavor and tenderness on the inside.
Triple J’s Smokehouse pit masters follow the tradition of preparing our ribs, chicken, brisket, and pork with a flavorful spice rub then placing each piece on racks which rotate continuously over a hot fire – fueled by post oak wood gathered here in Texas. The process takes hours and hours but the results are amazing. Traditionally, Southerners favor pork because in the beginning colonies found that pigs were plentiful and easy to raise. But in Texas cattle have been raised by ranchers for generations and the briskets that come from those cattle have become the favorite Texas barbecue meat.
Whatever you prefer – pork ribs, sausage, brisket, chicken, or even burgers – we’ve got you covered! Triple J’s is your first choice for dine-in or take-out every weekday, for lunch or dinner! Come see us for what many call…”the best barbecue in Houston”!
