Michelle Holland and brothers Scott and Greg Moore started Tejas in 2015 as a bean-to-bar chocolate shop, and the barbecue grew out of the same obsessive craft. It lives in what the owners describe as the oldest known residential home in Tomball, restored with porches and a yard that fills up on weekends. Brisket comes off the pit juicy and well barked, the chile relleno sausage is a house original, and the pork belly burnt ends go fast. The Brisket and Blues sandwich, with blue cheese and red onion on a potato bun, is a fine way in. Save room for dessert, since the chocolate is the other half of the name: chocolate bread pudding, panna cotta and house truffles.
