The colorful team behind the beer-and-hot-dog hangout Moon Tower Inn has plans to open a much larger and meatier restaurant a couple blocks northeast of its spot on Canal St. in the East End. A new “Proper Texas BBQ and Watering Hole” will go into a warehouse-turned-auto-repair-shop at 3125 Navigation Blvd., a few blocks down the street from Ninfa’s and El Tiempo, sometime in 2016, according to a post on the Moon Tower Inn’s Facebook page. Its name: B.R. Young’s Lost Indian.
Here’s a view of it:

The 1949 building the team is leasing measures 4,000 sq. ft. and sits on a 26,970-sq.-ft. lot at the corner of Navigation and Engelke, next to the railroad tracks.

B.R. Young’s Lost Indian
I love seeing more and more development in this area, but that name is just plain awful.
We’ll see if it ever comes to fruition. They also said they were making a NY style pizza place and there was a plan for another food truck that never materialized.
From what was said the pizza place was a cover for voodoo so no one would know what they were really up to. And fact, the next “food truck” was gonna be a bbq trailer but who needs a trailer when you can have that big of a lot and building?
one of their bartenders at the voodoo lounge has a bad attitude. sorry buddy, riding a messenger bike, which I did over 20 years ago, and having some tattoos doesn’t give you the right to have a chip on your shoulder, or be offended if people ask for something other than PBR or Tecate. be polite!
Is there a reason why you are biased on comments you post?
Agree with CREBBQ — that name IS awful! Most people who see “Indian” in a restaurant’s name think of food from Indian subcontinent, not barbecue…
i like the sound of it. isn’t it the point to have a dumb name behind it in the first place, with some hipster cache and all?
They better have some awesome BBQ, because that’s the only way they will compete. Houston BBQ quality has gone way up lately.
I get the location, good to see more people pushing farther east, but that seems like a really expensive place to rehab for a restaurant.
The name is as good as ‘The Pastry War’
