A Legacy of Flavor and Soul

OUR STORY

Our Story

Smoked to Perfection, Inspired by Jazz

In 1939, our family’s journey began with the birth of the first of 15 children to H.K. Williams, Sr., and Etta W. Williams in Fort Bend County. The Williams brothers quickly earned a reputation for mastering the art of BBQ, producing some of the finest flavors in the region. As they perfected the pits, my momma and her sisters were busy in the kitchen, creating flavorful sides and baking pies and cakes that became legendary in Sugar Land, Texas.

Growing up surrounded by this culinary magic, I absorbed every bit of knowledge I could. In 1993, I began my career in the restaurant industry, traveling far and wide to refine my craft. In 2003, fate introduced me to Forrest Greenwood, known to all as “PopaJoe.” His family, much like mine, was deeply rooted in cooking and community. Together, we blended our shared traditions and love for soulful flavors to create Williams Smokehouse BBQ and Blues.

A Symphony of BBQ and Jazz

Williams Smokehouse is more than a restaurant—it’s an experience. Our jazz-inspired atmosphere pays homage to the soulful melodies that have always been a part of our story. Just as BBQ tells a tale of patience and tradition, jazz evokes emotion and connection. Together, they create a unique blend of flavor and rhythm that defines who we are.
