Hurry here, because this is the kind of place that will only be a story of few years from now. This is an old school, small group of friends, traditional barbecue place that is being eclipsed by chain fast food similacria. It's not the same thing, and once this echo of the past is gone you'll only have reviews like this and some sort of past tense FOMO. From the fading menu on the wall, to ordering through little windows, to the screened in dining area, all of this screams love from a time gone by. The service is as good as you make it, because you are picking up the food from the other little window and bringing it over to your table. The staff are pleasant, know their stuff, and make you feel welcome. Terroir counts for a lot. Eating excellent ribs and seriously loaded potatoes at sunset listening to the birds is really magical. read more

Bar-B-Que Hut - Regular potato - Barbeque Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but they put out some of the best bbq and sides that I've ever had! Every time I get a baked potato with chopped bbq on top, it is always consistently delicious! The pea salad is incredible! Be prepared to wait a few minutes. There is no voice box in the drive thru. Here, you pull up to the window and place your order. I've heard rumors about customer service, but my other half and I have never experienced any issues. They are under new management, so be sure to give them a try! Some of the best bbq in the Magnolia area! read more

Bar-B-Que Hut - Baked Meat Potato - Barbeque Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

Delicious delicious delicious and delicious!!!! Simple menu. Absolutely delicious and service is top notch!!!

I travel all over and BBQ is one of my favorite things about TX. Sadly, this place missed the mark on all accounts. The brisket was dry, the pork was inedible, and the sides were nothing but a disappointment. Even the banana pudding was flavorless. If you're looking for a spot to enjoy TX bbq, this isn't it. read more

Bar-B-Que Hut - Brisket, pork - Barbeque Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

This little bbq hut is very close to my parents and it's a must every time I visit. The prices and service is great and the food is even better. read more

Been coming to this place for years and they definitely know how to stay true to their roots. This place has gone through some management challenges in the past, however, that has changed and they are back! Food is made with great quality and never been dissatisfied. My go to is a loaded baked potato if anyone needs a recommendation! read more

I recommend the stuffed baked potato!! It's been awhile since I have been there. It's not because I don't like it. But I will definitely go back soon! read more

This little place doesn't look like much but the service is great and the food is good! They offer a daily special and you can call in an order for pick up, which is super convenient. All my orders have been ready for pick up within 15min! Outdoor seating available via screened in porch. No "indoor" seating. I've eaten here a few times, the food is good. Great serving sizes, they will pour the bbq sauce over you meats and the sweet tea is always on par. The brisket isn't the "best I've ever had" but it's pretty good. The baked potatoes are huge and they don't skimp on toppings. The ladies are great at offering recommendations and super sweet people in general. Dogs on leash are allowed. Stop in if you're in the area and want some BBQ with a side of friendly service. read more

This place is not good. The outdoor porch seating is intolerable in this heat but that isnt their fault. What is though... We ordered the baked potato with chopped beef. 2 meat plate with sausage and chicken. Added a sausage wrap. Cherry and Peach Cobbler. The 2 meat plate had 1/2 servings of meat and was pathetic. The baked potato was the best thing we bought but it was NOT great. Also, hardly any meat! "Sausage wrap" means sausage on bread with spoiled bbq sauce. You would expect that a BBQ restaurant would make their meat the showcase. Here, the meat is like an after thought. Now let's talk about the cobbler. The person who took our order hyped it up 100%. Great salesperson. However, what was served is better to be described as canned pie filling. There was no crumble or crust in it AT ALL. I'm not being dramatic-- it didn't exist in either container for either of the flavors. If I could rate it a solid zero, I would. Save your money and drive further out somewhere else. This place is terrible. read more

Excellent food and great hospitality! Chopped beef sandwich and stuffed potatoes are a huge portion for the price, highly recommend.

I have enjoyed BBQ Hut for 20 years. They were originally located on 1774, and have moved locations in the last few years. The quality is consistent, the price is reasonable, and the food is excellent. The beans are sweet in a pleasant way, the meat always has a decadent smoke flavor. Always a pleasant experience at BBQ Hut. read more

Service was great, the girl at the window was really sweet while taking our order. The food, not bad but not great... just kind of okay. And the ambiance, like 2 stars? Kind of exactly like you think it's going to be from the name "Hut"! You walk up and order at the window and they also have a drive thru window so orders can take a while since everyone is there for take out. The ranch potatoes were the best side but still not wonderful and a very small portion (4oz cups) the green beans were okay, and the Mac and cheese was almost flavorless. The brisket was drowning in overly sweet sauce but it did come with onions and pickles so that was nice? Good spot if you're in a pinch; really expensive for what you're getting... read more

All meat very dry. Got the "moist" brisket potato frito pie and sausage link sandwich. Everything dry. Asked for extra barbecue sauce and was charged for extra and given one cup of it. 1 out of 5 stars. Update:after eating I was up all night stomach turning. Me and my bf are having the same stomach pains. Eat at your own risk! read more

Bar-B-Que Hut - Sausage link sando frito pie moist brisket loaded potato - Barbeque Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

Ordered $70.00 of food. Mac and Cheese served FROZEN. Meats were not to our approval. Banana Pudding had cookies separate in a baggy for customer to put in pudding. Tried to see if my dog would eat some of the ranch potatoes. He was not having it. Called that night to talk to a manager about our experience. Let them know that I was bringing food back next day and wanted a refund. Also placed another order at same time for over $50.00 for chopped beef sandwiches which were served squashed and soggy. Showed up for full refund, Owner was very rude and commented that nothing was wrong with any of their food. She did give me $25.00 refund. Chump Change. A Customer spending over $120.00 and not satisfied, returning food should receive a full refund and apology REGARDLESS. Would not spend money there again. BEWARE - Drive to Waller for Carl's - Not a disappointment read more

going down hill fast. been coming here for over 30 years and the last 5 times I went I told myself I was never going back. the last time was the last time. this food sucks now. yall make me sad. read more

Off the beaten path, diamond in the rough, kinda looks like a dive, screened in porch with picnic tables, local yokels mostly know about it..........my kinda place! You have to be looking for it but it's just west of 1488 & 1774 intersection on 1488. Just go down two stoplights. I get the Link & Chopped or Sliced Beef with pickles onion and jalapeño. Blackberry cobbler heated up. Extra BBQ sauce, I like it wet and a pink lemonade. They also have a Burrito Supreme that's very yummy. Everything is good. They have a drive thru pick up window if you call in your order. Don't be shy, come by! read more

A classic in Magnolia, I remember they were at the old location. Their food is reliable and a safe pick, but service can be a little slow. read more

They serve quality meat here - ribs, sausage, ham, chicken, and beef are always delicious and the sauce is at the top of my BBQ sauce list. A sliced beef sandwich overflowing with sauce and fresh onions is my heaven! That being said, we have been shown the reluctant or annoyed attitude that other reviewers mention the very few times we have needed to knock on the window for a forgotten item. Sliced beef sandwich for $6 is the way to go - My husband always orders a two meat plate $12 and my sandwich is usually a larger portion of meat, even though it is just beef. I dig their macaroni salad and baked beans, but twice I was disappointed with the green beans. They sometimes come out mushy and greasy and I end up tossing them.The watergate salad desert (see menu for description) was way too sweet for me, but I definitely had to give it a try. We have not tried the other deserts because I am usually unable to even finish whatever was ordered for dinner! read more

Prices, like everywhere else have gone up, quality of food has gone down as well as portion. Over all I would go back

Great food! Great service always! Try the Chicken Burrito and the banana pudding. I highly recommend it.

Had heard good things about this place since I moved to the area 3 years ago. Went for lunch about a month ago during the week. No vehicles around bldg. Next trip--2 customers. I ordered sliced brisket sandwich to-go. Bad choice. Tough and lots of grissel. Guess it's better days are in the rear-view mirror. read more

Always good food, never disappointed. But wow the dine-in porch needs the ceiling insulated. It's close to 140 degrees under that metal roof. We don't go on sunny days. read more

Stopped by here on a quiet Sunday and received our orders in about 5 minutes. The food was pretty good and the prices are fair. I had a loaded baked potato which came with plenty of toppings. The skin was good and not dried out, which is always the chance you take with a baked potato. The BBQ beef sandwich was great and had just the right amount of sauce. The drawback was having to eat in the truck because it was 100° and the only dining option is outside. I would like to go back and try some of the desserts. Previous reviews mentioned slow service, but we didn't have that experience. read more

Bar-B-Que Hut - Loaded baked potato with double chopped brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

We really enjoy their loaded baked potatoes. Potatoes are freshly baked and whatever meat we add is always tender with good flavor.

This remains my favorite bbq in the state. Historically they haven't ranked high in customer service, but that tide seems to have turned on that metric. Tonight's service was incredibly polite, even though they were obviously closing soon. The chopped beef sandwich remains the sandwich by which I measure all others. Moist beef, tasty but light sauce, large bun, and the obligatory two pickles and some onion. My wife enjoyed the baked potato, which is incredibly large, and covered in a half-pound of toppings. I can't imagine what it must look like of you actually get bbq on top as they suggest. And finally the pièce de résistance, a pound of the state's best smoked brisket. Moist, but not too fatty. Burnt ends, but from a pitmaster who doesn't subscribe to the 'char' is a flavor trend. Just a wonderful meal in the cool, open air porch in the country. read more

Nasty, oh my! I have never ever had sweet barbeque sauce poured on my baked potato, I mean really sweet. The only thing that was tasty about my potato was the potato itself, the sidings added to the potato didn't taste well due to the sweet sauce being poured over it. Will not be revisiting this place, it is exactly what its name says it is a Hut. Driveway into, around, and through out the grounds is dirt and mud, full of deep holes from big heavy vehicles and trucks, meaning you have to drive extremely slow. On a good note, the cashier was super friendly, talkative, and wore a smile! read more

Been dealing with them for years and always got great food and great service so glad they are in magnolia potatoes are to die for

Good stop on the way back from The Woodlands to San Antonio. Outdoor covered seating only, but they have fans. Food is pretty good. I had the chopped beef and liked it. Sliced beef is good, but add some sauce to it. Mac&cheese and corn were good. Corn comes with some veggies mixed in. 2 could share the hut plate read more

I've been coming here off and on for almost thirty years. Not because it's to die for bbq but because it's convenient. The biggest set back for this place is the rudeness for most anyone that has ever worked here. Once again today. Dipshit dude inside stares at you for a minute or two until he finally opens the window to take your order. Today when it's ready he opens the window, plops the order on the counter and closes the window. No thanks, no nothing. Too bad there's no competition around to drive this place out of business. read more

The sliced beef is the best I've ever had! If you are coming here definitely try that! Small restaurant, but soooo good. No complains 10/10

Really good food and friendly staff. Can't go wrong with a chopped beef baked potato. Yum!

I haven't been here in awhile, not remembering why I didn't like this place, but last night quickly jogged my memory. Decided to go for the chopped beef sandwich. I had the opportunity to watch them make my sandwich from the window to see them pull the chopped beef from the fridge out of ziplock bag. No big deal, they never claimed to serve fresh BBQ I guess. Finally got my sandwich to bite into the nastiest, sweet, Sloppy Joe-like BBQ. On top of the awful taste, the outside of the bun was completely hard and stale, indicating that it had been microwaved along with the chopped beef. The only reason this review didn't get one star was because the mac & cheese was good after I stirred in the remaining BBQ mush droppings. However, last I checked, I was going to a place that specialized in BBQ, hence the name of the place, not the Mac & Cheese Hut. On top of that, service was incredibly slow despite the obvious use of a microwave. Now I remember why I've only been going to Reveille BBQ down the street. I've tried out this place several times, so those of you that are saying that "this is the best BBQ in the state" are either nutty or are working for them. read more

Sign says check your order (because they wont). They gave me 2 meats on a 3 meat plate and didn't give me the side of sauce that i asked for. Called and no one answered but I wouldn't drive back up there anyway. That's the point of a drive through, quick and easy and hopefully accurate. Just tasted the cherry cobbler i ordered. Has an odd cardboard/wood chips taste. read more

First time here and the chopped beef sandwich is good pea salad is pretty good too Mac n cheese is cheesy just right and the potato salad is awesome love it read more

My rating is strictly for customer service. I just went to the Hut and first time since moving back. I Apparently went to the wrong window to order my food when the cashier came to the window clearly upset that I chose the wrong window I lost my appetizer. I asked her what was wrong did I do something wrong she said you're supposed to order at the back window I said excuse me there was no one there and this is my first time here in years. Honestly there was no need for her mood to many places to choose from to eat. read more

These little out of the way places are the best. First time visit, but I'll be back. Had the sliced brisket and link sandwich. Plenty of both meats. Brisket is tender and tasty, sausage links are juicy and flavorful. Potato salad was just a little to creamy/runny for my liking but had great taste. Friendly and courteous staff, with quick service. read more

Best bbq place in town!!! Super big portions. Very great for the price. The workers work so hard and they are the sweetest. Food is overall 10/10. I had the chopped beef baked potato loaded. AMAZING. I also recommend trying the deserts. read more

This is the best BBQ in magnolia! The woodlands too! We drive 18miles to come to this place. They are busy these days. But the new building is nice and big. You aren't going to get run over by the train. The food is, as alway, great! We all get the meat stuff potato. I add a little extra cheese and some Jalapeño and I can bearly see the potato. They are so big! In the summer the cobblers are awesome! I also know that the chop beef and the links are excellent. It comes down to the BBQ sauce. It is creamy, rich and super tasty. I would recommend to anyone!! Enjoy! read more
