Texas has plenty of BBQ spots, so when you compare this one to the competition, it seems average- and I don't mean that in a bad way. The food is solid, the prices are reasonable, and overall it's a good meal, just not one that completely blows you away. I'm a huge potato person, so for my sides I went with the potato salad and baked potato casserole. The casserole was my favorite of the two- warm, cheesy, and gooey. The brisket was good, though I personally would've liked a bit more marbling for extra richness. The ribs were good as well. Nothing we had was bad at all; it just didn't quite standout. Service is set up cafeteria-style, so you move down the line and everything is ready to go. There's also plenty of parking and lots of seating both indoors and outside. read more

Brookstreet Bar-B-Que - 2 Two Meat Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Brookstreet Bar-B-Que was the only place we were able to get barbecue in Houston. We came on a Saturday night, maybe 15 minutes before closing, and they only had limited items. We ordered a pound of brisket and a pint of potato salad. The cashier offered us a peach cobbler as well because they were out of most of the meat and sides that we wanted to order. We took the food to go and ate it at home. The brisket was very tasty! And cut very nicely as she cut a lot of fat off before giving it to us. The potato salad was delicious! We all enjoyed the food was Brookstreet Bar-B-Que. The peach cobbler was very nice as well. The staff were so nice and provided great customer service. The cashier was super cool and generous as well. If you are looking for great BBQ in Houston, definitely check out Brookstreet Bar-B-Que. read more

So yesterday I ordered the van Gogh burger from doordash because they had buy one get one free and I was in need of some major protein. Being that this is a double Patty burger, I was sold. I saw a really good reviews on doordash from this restaurant and read a few reviews here on Yelp so, I took the plunge. When they arrived and I opened the bag, I was a bit disappointed at how they presented the burger. It was a very very sad looking burger. Lol. The Good news? The flavor is definitely there and the onions were superb. The sauce they use is a tangy, sweet, and rich yumminess and I would like a bottle to keep at the house! Would I get this burger again? Absolutely. Would I want to go to the restaurant physically myself next time? Absolutely. read more

Brookstreet Bar-B-Que - Bango Burger - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

I really should stop going to barbecue spots when I haven't eaten all day because I know it sways my judgment. Today was no different. I'm on a mission to find the best barbecue Houston has to offer, and while I know Texas BBQ is nothing like the vinegar-based barbecue from my home state of Virginia, I still want to have a solid ordering experience. Brookstreet Bar-B-Q on a Friday afternoon was quiet--apparently, they had a private event later, which might explain the lack of patrons. Ordering was quick, and the cashier was really nice about explaining the specials. I went with the two-meat, two-side, dessert, and drink special for $18--solid deal. The food came out fast--but when I saw the portion sizes, I was shocked. My pulled pork and sausage came with baked beans and mac & cheese, and the portions were small. Again, I was starving, so I wasn't about to complain with food in front of me. The standout? The bread. I was able to make a little pulled pork sandwich, which helped since the pulled pork itself was just... OK. It felt like a lot of scraps, not as meaty as I expected. The sausage was really well-seasoned, though, and dipping it in the mustard sauce and Brookstreet BBQ sauce gave it a much-needed kick. Dessert was banana pudding--not my mom's, but a respectable attempt. Overall, this meal felt like barbecue day in a high school cafeteria--not bad, not great, just there. It got the job done, but I wouldn't call this a go-to BBQ spot in Texas. That said, the specials were attractive, the location was convenient, and the rustic decor was a nice touch. I even saw the cook grabbing fresh wood from outside, so I know they're working with real wood for that smoky flavor--I just wish I had actually tasted more of it on my plate. read more

Food was cold, and lacked passion and flavor, bbq sauce was watery and also lack flavor, only 1 choice of bbq sauce, baked potato was cold, beans old and cold. Bottled water was good but bottom was not flat. No one in here but numerous employees and no one even came by to check on us. Cool building and decor. read more

I found the food very tasty.service was ok. The only drawback is it is not very accessible to disabled folks. I was with a large group of of people, so we were seated upstairs. The upstairs is perfect for large groups. However, the stairs are winding and i had trouble getting upstairs. There is no elevator. read more

The standard for BBQ in Houston (#1) is so high that decent places like Brookstreet seem somewhat average in comparison. If it were a place in the northern part of the country, I think they'd be well received. They can't be considered among the heavy hitters in this city without being more consistent with their meats. 3.5 stars, rounded up. It's a good looking place with ample parking, covered patio seating, and a cozy interior that any place would love. I appreciate the homey vibe and intimate seating, and the super consistent service. That drive-thru is a gamechanger, which is perfect for folks who aren't interested in waits, or keeps people from having to wait in line (at least in person) and perfect for folks who are on the go. (#2) To be clear, I do like the food overall. I've had excellent versions of everything and I've also had dry and disappointing versions as well. The brisket and turkey are always big gambles, which also happen to be my favorite meats. I am fond of their jalapeño sausage and think the pulled pork is solid. The chopped beef baked potato is one of my favorite items, since it's fully loaded, and not as messy as other variations I've seen from around town. The jambalaya is a hard pass for me but the creamed corn and mac and cheese make up for it. Bread pudding is also a winner and a great way to end the meal. They also do deliver through a lot of the third party platforms. I always think BBQ is meant to be eaten in but the drive-thru makes this place a bonafide option for a last minute potluck or indulgent meal on the fly. ___________ (#1) And really, Texas in general. (#2) Hello, it's me again. read more

The food is pretty good. I LOVE the marble brisket, it's incredibly juicy. The smoked sausage is good too! The ribs are tasty as well, I've only gotten them a few times, but each time they were juicy. The rub they use for the meats has a peppery taste to it. As far as the sides go, I usually get the Mac n cheese, or a salad for my sides. I used to get the jambalaya, but they don't have it anymore. I'm creature of habit so I can't say I've tried everything. However, what I have tried I like! Except the chicken! Wouldn't recommend. Had it like 3 times and every time it was dry. White and dark meat. The service is ok. They aren't the friendliest but they aren't mean or rude, just very matter of fact. I do like the fact that they pretty much know what I'm ordering when I walk in. All n all, I'd definitely recommend. read more

Maybe it was when I ordered delivery? I don't know. I ordered 4 meats and 2 sides for delivery at around 9pm the other day. Weirdly enough, I only got 3 of the meats. J also got none of the other items that were supposed to come with it (jalapeños, onions, etc.). And unfortunately, the taste was super average. I don't know. Not my favorite spot. read more

Decided to order them through Uber Eats, I looked at the Yelp reviews before hand & automatically had an idea of what the taste would be like. Oh was I right haha. I got the three meat plate & for starters I was disappointed by the portion size for the price I paid. Very Bland, unseasoned sides. I got Mac & Beans. Worst beans I think I've ever had I didn't finish them. I am a Bean lover too. Mac was watery & tasteless. Unseasoned macaroni noodles. For the meat I got Ribs, Marble brisket & mixed sausage (Jalapeño/Regular). Ribs=Bland, tasted like they were made in a standard oven (No Smokey flavor) marble Brisket=Somewhat Tender a tad bit dry Mixed sausage= Great flavor/Tender & juicy. (hence the reason for me not giving 1 star. BBQ Sauce= A little on the Sweet side. Seems like an overload of brown sugar. Not trying to be biased but it is essential that you put "Who Dat" bread with your BBQ. Instead they give to what looks like a small piece of a French roll, that wasn't even tasty. Overall, it felt as if no soul was put into this cooking & highly unseasoned unfortunately. The BBQ misses on so many levels, & I wouldn't choose them even if they were the last BBQ option. Oh yeah I forgot the BBQ sauce, it was very watery & too sweet. Cheers, read more

Stopped by with the family after the museum and we really enjoyed it! Staff was super nice and recommended their favorites. We got brisket, ribs, and sausage all were super tasty & not dry at all. My sister in law got the baked potato & it was HUGE she raved about it. read more

Ordered; Chicken Sausage Baby back ribs Brisket Pulled pork I have to say that the Sausage and chicken stole the show. It meat was not as dry as the brisket and baby back ribs. The seasoning was great on all the food. The only thing that I did not enjoy was that the brisket and the baby back ribs being so dry. Do take in mind that this is just my pallet taste. If you had been to Woodranch in chino hills, CA, then nothing can compare in baby back ribs and I believe the brisket in Whole Foods is a lot more juicier and tender. Btw the sides were very well flavored and not overpowering. I wish some one would post a bread pudding picture on Yelp. read more

I took a quart of sauce home. My lovely coworker took me here and I was astonished of this hidden gem. After taking one flavor check of sauce, I immediately asked the register if they sell it. I loved the location of an older home.It reminded me of my great grandmothers home and made it feel like I was having a home cooked meal. If you can't afford bbq and need a cheaper option get the chicken! Truly you get your money's worth. Chicken was flavorful and juicy. Yes, that includes the breast. read more

Tonight @ 7:15 at brookstreet bbq Me; I'd like a baked potato with chopped beef Her; sorry we are out of baked potatoes Me; um ok. I'll take sliced brisket and jalepeno sausage. Her; sorry we are out of jalapeño sausage Me; do you have regular sausage? Her; yes we have that. What two sides would you like? Me being able to see the sides in their turned off warming table; "I'll take the only two you have left, and an iced tea." 20 minutes later I asked for a refill on my tea. Her; sorry we already threw it out. Left at 7:45 we were the only ones there This place has really gone downhill fast. The owners can't be proud read more

The food is okay but over priced. The manager named alejandro with the weird curled mustache is extremely rude and racist.

My experience is based on drive through. I have frquented this restaurant going back to when they first opened probably about once per month. The number of times they get my drive through order wrong is about 50% of the time. And tonight 3 items or instructions were wrong. The order taker talked over me while I trying to place my order and the server who took my payment assured me it was correct...not even close. I am done. Even their website has the wrong phone number for the Montrose location. Sorry to say , but "good bye". Paying attention to detail is what it takes in a highly competitive restaurant market like Houston. read more

It's been a few years since I had Brookstreet BBQ, and I'm glad I did. The food tasted as good, if not , better than last time. First, I ordered a Chopped Beef Sandwich with a side of Mac and Cheese. The Chopped Beef was tender and flavorful with the BBQ sauce, which had a sweet and tangy flavor. The Mac and Cheese was creamy and cheesy. I will get that again next time I return. Second, I ordered a Pulled Pork Sandwich and it was juicy, tender, and flavorful, even without the BBQ sauce. With the sauce, took it to another level. The buns on both sandwiches were soft and soaked in the BBQ sauce. Lastly, I ordered the Wagon Wheel roll for my 3 year old son, who has a big appetite. He has never finished his food until today. The Wagon Wheel has Chopped Beef, Beans, and Cheese. I tasted it, and it was a good combination of flavors. Also, the bun was soft. My son loved it and ate it all. The service, on the other hand, the gentleman that took care of me, was professional, fast, and efficient. Big plus in my book. I'm glad that I returned to Brookstreet BBQ.You WILL see me again!! read more

One of the worst bbq spots I ever eaten at. The marbled brisket was super dry... and they gave the shitty cuts. Like eating scraps for very pricey cost. And the ribs were really salty and super dry. Neither meats could be saved by bbq sauce. Potato casserole was drier than eating sand. The potato salad was overly sour. Made me question if it had gone bad. The Mac n cheese was watery, like you need to eat a noodle and drink the cheese bc none stayed on the pasta. This place is a giant waste of money and a huge disappointment. Full of regrets. read more

Yum!! I've discovered a new delicious BBQ place to recommend in Houston - Yelp friends, meet Brookstreet BBQ. Food and service were both great! We tried the two meat combo with brisket and pork ribs, potato salad, street corn, and rolls. We also got the peach cobbler and banana pudding for dessert. The best part of the meal, hands down, was the street corn! Creamy, with a hint of spice, pops of freshness from the corn, and overall just so good! The brisket and pork ribs were solid, not as tender as they could have been but I appreciate that there wasn't a ton of fat on all the meat. The service was great; the employees were really friendly and patient. It's a very casual place; order and get your food through a line and then choose your own table to eat. read more

Food was dry and drenched in bbq sauce. Total waste of money. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give them a 1.5 out of 10. Harlem bbq is the best I've had around so far. I'd give it a 8 out of 10 read more

10-19-21 Quality/Quantity - Food was good. Got 2 plates, today's special for only $10 (savings of $5) and the Stonehouse Trio (3-meat plate). Special was the chicken and sausage. Stonehouse Trio - sausage, pulled pork, and brisket I really liked the toasted bread which was a bonus because we did not know it came with bread. Sides = rice, green beans, cream corn, and mac & cheese Atmosphere - They also had happy hour, $3.50 can beers. Huge space, both indoor and outdoor. They also had a second floor. I liked the paper towels on each table, it kept us cleaner. Clean kitchen and restrooms Lots of signage/info, maybe too much? There was an information overload. Dirt parking lot. I liked the drive thru, pick up window. Cool bathroom sign, yes PLEASE wash your hands! Service - Lots of young people working (High School young). Not a bad thing, but they seemed to have little direction. Price - $40 including tip. Cashier did not charge us for the daily special, and we had them correct it. I think we overtipped, especially for the "service." We were thrown off when we realized that they charged us for the regular price vs. the daily special. The team lacked direction and management. The person outside washing all the coolers, and tubs was a very hard worker and more friendly. Owner Suggestion - Congrats on your five locations. Keep up the good work. Your food is good, but spend a little more time with your front of house team to take you to the next level. read more

The smokiness on the brisket was too much and the use of liquid smoke was apparent. Sides were good but not so much the meat.

Brookstreet BBQ has an awesome small town BBQ joint feel. Parking was easy for a Montrose joint. The service was quick and easy. The food was amazing! I got the Two Meat Plate - Brisket and Ribs, Potato salad and corn. It all was just on point. Great BBQ! Would definitely return! read more

Get the potato is great. The turkey thing was awesome. Very clean and nice servers. I would come here again.

Cool spot. Ordering was easy at the walk up counter and then seat yourself. Got a brisket sandwich with corn and beans. Brisket was lean and dry. Really had no flavor. They provided it with sauce that was ok, but I don't really use it. Beans were ok too. Little kick, thin sauce. Corn was good in its own way. Not sure if I like one more than the other. Good blend of indoor and outdoor seating. All the folks I encountered were nice. All things considered very average across the board, but solid 3 stars. read more

Overall, the space is great. Lots of room for indoor and outdoor seating. It was clean and easy to find seating. The service was efficient and the staff were accommodating. The BBQ itself is not the best I have ever had, but this is a great place to take friends who have never had Texas BBQ before to get their feet wet. There is not much to complain about! The brisket was appropriately tender without too much fat and smoked well. The taste was a little bland, but not bad. The portions are a good size. The sausage had a good crunch and was juicy with good flavor. The sides are pretty general, including mac and cheese, green beans, cole slaw, potato salad. All of these are generic in taste, but again, not bad by any means. We'll definitely be back and plan to bring friends! read more

If it weren't for COVID and the Texas weather, of course, we would have absolutely stayed and enjoyed our meals on the patio. The staff was welcoming as we walked in and a very simply menu was on the board as soon as you walked in. LOVED the Mexican Street Style Corn. It has a little kick to it but a very smokey, savory flavor to it. The moist brisket was surprisingly very moist and tender; not as salty as I was expecting but once I added their home made sauce, it made complete sense! I wasn't a big fan of the jalapeño sausage as it seemed like it had more texture than what I'm used to but the flavor was there with a little kick. Overall, I'm ready to get more take out! You all had me at the Mexican Street Style Corn! read more

This BBQ is gooood. Like, I am impressed. I was starving and craving bbq and took a chance here. I ordered the 3 meat plate with brisket, chicken and sausage. I also got the Mac and cheese and potato salad. The meats were delish. No complaints. Now the potato salad was def not the best I've ever had Thats for sure, but you know how that goes, and neither was the Mac. But if I'm being honest, I've never had a memorable Mac from a bbq place...it's just better if it's homemade, ya know? Either way, that wouldn't stop me from eating here again. It was worth every penny. Oh man!! And I tried the BBQ burrito - so freaking good!!!! Do yourself a favor and try it. read more

As a native Texan, I have a high bar for BBQ and this place far exceeded expectations. The brisket, lean or marbled, was melt in your mouth tender. The Turkey was soft and flavorful. The sides were packed with flavors that complimented each other so well. The macaroni was my favorite!! The sauce was tangy, sweet and rich. My only complaint is that the food was lukewarm when I would have preferred hot. But, it was the end of the day and everything else was perfect. Two, two meat plates that come with two sides, plus a pint of macaroni ran us forty four bucks. About what we expected and I think it was well worth it!
