CorkScrew BBQ is owned and operated by Will and Nichole Buckman, who started the restaurant in Spring after Will left his job at AT&T in 2010. The barbecue is cooked live-fire over red oak rather than the more common post oak, using farm-raised, high-grade prime meats. Everything on the menu — meats, sides, and sauces — is made in-house, and the kitchen runs MSG-free.
The lineup centers on classic cuts done with care: brisket, ribs, and garlic links, alongside smaller touches that set the place apart, like pulled pork tacos on handmade corn tortillas and a stuffed potato salad topped with chopped brisket. A loyal, repeat customer base has built up around Old Town Spring over the years, and long lines have become part of the routine for regulars who keep coming back.
Michelin awarded CorkScrew BBQ one star in 2025 and again in 2026.
