Having owned a BBQ restaurant for over twenty years, Russell and Misty Roegels are no strangers to the barbecue industry. After being part of a chain for many years, the Roegels struck out on their own in 2015 to great acclaim. Check our archives for episodes 39 and 40 to hear the story of Russell’s early career. Their original restaurant on Voss Road in Houston has long been one of the top  BBQ joints the city has to offer, and in 2021 they saw an opportunity to expand their brand in the ever-growing Houston suburb of Katy, Texas. Towards the end of the year Russell and Misty began the process of opening their second location. Roegels Barbecue in Katy - set to open any day now at the time of this episode posting - will be serving the same great ‘cue they’ve become known for alongside their rotating specials menu that features items like their smoked pastrami Reuben, turkey katsu sandwich, and housemade sausages. The Roegels’ standout pit crew that includes Alfredo Tapia and Fletcher Sheridan will keep leading the operations on Voss and Katy respectively, so longtime fans of the original location can expect the same level of quality at both spots. Tune in to hear Russell and Misty provide details on how this new spot came to be and what some of the differences will be at the new spot which will include a full bar and dinner service. Please note hours of operation are subject to change as this new location find its footing and staffs up.   Roegels Barbecue Co. - Katy Location 20702 Katy Freeway Katy, TX 77449 Monday and Tuesday - closed Weds, Thur, Sun - 11a - 8p Friday and Saturday - 11a - 9p   Roegels Barbecue Co. on Boss 2223 S.
