Shift whistles echo around the plants near Crosby, and lunch needs to be direct and filling. La Cruda Brand BBQ can cover brisket with a bold rub that suits the Gulf air. Straight Off the Road BBQ is another option for ribs and smoked sausage when you want a simple barbecue restaurant plate.
Keep it to two meats and a light side so you do not drag through the afternoon. If you arrive late, chopped meat can save the stop.
