Two Houston restaurants cracked Yelp's top 10 ranking of the best barbecue joints in the state.

Granted, the list was generated by an algorithm, but there are some tried-and-true picks involved, including La Barbecue (No. 1, Austin) and Cattleack (No. 3, Dallas).

Houston's Pinkerton's and Killen's ranked 7th and 10th, respectively. Killen's, a recipient of plenty of awards, expanded to Cypress earlier this year.
