Best Brisket in Chicago

Brisket is the hardest cut to get right. Low heat, hours of post oak, a clean salt and pepper bark. The list below pulls the top rated Central Texas style smokehouses in the directory, the spots actually built around brisket rather than treating it like filler.

These picks come straight from the directory data: a minimum 4.3 Google rating, Central Texas or Hill Country tagging, and a real menu we pulled from the restaurant's own site. Read more about how we score in our methodology.
