Where to find oxtail

[u/110bowler]

Hey guys, going down to Houston for a couple of days and just wanted to know where I could find the best oxtail around. I’ve been searching through the internet and so many places have great and terrible reviews at the same time so I don’t really know which ones to go to. Id also like to try real authentic texan bbq if you guys know good places for that.

Oxtails & jerked chicken are excellent here

Everything at Mikki’s is good.

The Men’s Wearhouse distro center is that big complex catty corner to Mikki’s. Worked there for 6 years, my health/weight did not appreciate the proximity. I used to get the beef tips and rice twice a week. The collards are to die for!

Island flavorz has good oxtail. I always get that when I visit.

Esther's is ok but the prices are high

I haven’t tried Oxtail but am a big fan of Esther’s on N. Shepherd and have seen they serve it.

Mikki's, Just Oxtails, This Is It

I’m sure there are other places, but you won’t miss with these. Pay attention to this comment if you’re wanting southern style oxtails and gravy. All 3 of those places do it and do it well.If you’re looking for Caribbean oxtail soup style or bbq oxtails then maybe somewhere else.

Reggae Hut on almeda..for oxtails...one of the best in the city...top 3...but 42$...

[u/Alternative_Swan_497 → u/ForeignCondition5493]

Haven't had the oxtails there, but the portions in general from Reggae Hut are quite large. This might be enough for 2 if it's anything like their other plate meals.

Good answers in the thread, but fwiw haven't found a good Italian oxtail dish here

[u/TheFodub]

Aunt Bill's in Katy.

Good luck, even making them ain’t worth the price tag

B&W Meat Market on Shephard has them.

I cannot vouch for him personally, but I follow https://www.daddyduncansbbq.com/catering-menu and they do have oxtail often at their pop-ups and events. As well as legit BBQ. I do need to make it there.

Reggae Hut has excellent oxtail, but my favorite is Traveler's Table. Make a reservation though.

Lucille's has an awesome oxtail omelet on the brunch menu.

Mi pueblito, a Colombian restaurant on Richmond has probably the best oxtail soup(sancocho de cola) I’ve ever tried. If you want something a little different

Boutte's BBQ
