Cuban Roots. Texas Smoke. A Pearland tradition since 1969
ABOUT CENTRAL BBQ
Central Texas Style BBQ has been part of Pearland for more than fifty years; one of the city’s oldest continuously operating restaurants and a landmark for anyone who loves authentic Texas barbecue. The story began in 1969 when Diana LeClere, newly arrived from Cuba, stepped into the kitchen of what would become her life’s work. She brought with her a fierce work ethic, a love for cooking, and a willingness to outwork anyone in the room. Those values shaped everything that happened next.
