Burn's Original BBQ, a Houston staple in Acres Home, has officially opened its third on-site bistro inside Kroger's Katy, located at 2700 West Grand Parkway Katy, TX 77449. Their story began in 1973 when Roy Burns Sr. started selling barbecue to the Acres Homes community. People travel from all over the world to try this BBQ hotspot that is full of history. Now you don't have to travel 40 miles around the city," said Cory Crawford, one of Burn's Original BBQ owners," We are just grateful to expand and touch different demographics around the city." Now Houston and surrounding areas can enjoy Burn's classic BBQ closer to home at one of their four locations.

Burn's Original BBQ started its partnership with Kroger in 2019 when Kroger's began to carry their BBQ sauce which expanded to pop-ups at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. They worked together to provide food for Metro drivers and Kroger volunteers that delivered free groceries to Houstonians with disabilities or identified as food insecure. Those pop-ups and community efforts led to the in-store bistro collaboration that creates access to one of Houston's famous black-owned businesses.

During this well-deserved celebration of the third on-site Kroger location, there was an appearance by Acres Home's very own Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and a long line of excited patrons. The Katy on-site bistro location will offer sandwiches, sides, and family packs that customers can order to-go or dine in at the store. Brisket, links, turkey, ribs, chicken boudin, and monster potatoes will be available, along with classic sides like mac n cheese and baked beans.
