A long-standing Houston institution is preparing to close its doors. The Barbecue Inn, located at 116 W. Crosstimbers Street, will cease operations on August 1 after 80 years in business.

The decision to close is attributed to practical and personal factors, including rising costs and a family decision. Further details about the closure are available from the source, including comments from co-owner David Skrehot on the reasons behind the decision.
