Bango Burger
Ema P.

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.

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.

Wedges in the kid cup that was cold

Just don't waste your time at all! The meat was cold! This the portion of fries,!potato wedges in this kid cup and the peach cobbler was no sweetnesses just bland! All they served is cold! The ice tea was not sweet at all! You pay high prices for food but it horrible! Never Ever again!

Yup! I was hesitant to come in but I'm so glad I did. Everything was delicious and fresh! Everyone behind the counter was prompt and helpful. Will definitely come back.

Great tender smoked meats and pleasant spaces to enjoy inside and out on the patio. Perfect place for lunch in the Montrose area.

Jalapeno Sausage

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.

Three Meat Plate
Lunden D.

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,

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.

Chicken, Jambalaya, Coleslaw
Xoxi M.

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.

Christmas ready!

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.

Then the news came we didn't wanna here ''Sorry to tell you, your food will be about 30-40 minutes delayed. " It was more of an hour. Most people that were waiting walked out. The young lady at the front did her best to accommodate us by apologizing, giving us a free cobbler and juice for the little one. We ordered a few different things: fried whole wings, dirty rice, yams, cabbage, mango habanero wings, fries, red beans and rice and Kool-aide. The fried wings, rice, fries and cabbage were well seasoned- you could taste the butter in them. My son wasn't crazy about the red beans n rice or mango habanero wings. He said it was more beans than rice and the wings lacked flavor. The Kool -aide was super sweet (as expected), but I added water to make it more palatable. While waiting we talked to some other guests Who decided to wait. Later the cook came out and chatted a bit- he was nice. Overall, food is good just come with patience.

When we arrived, the host let us choose where we wanted to sit. I originally spotted a cozy booth by the window, but since we were asked if we'd like to sit where we could watch the TV during the Cup match, we opted for one of the high-top tables instead. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake because there isn't any lighting at the high tables. We could barely see our food. Adding pendant or drop-down lighting above those tables would make a huge difference. If you plan to visit, I'd recommend requesting a regular table or booth for better lighting. The menu is definitely unique, though I found it somewhat limited compared to other seafood restaurants.To start, I ordered the roasted oysters while my friend had a dozen raw oysters with all the traditional fixings. The roasted oysters were delicious, but there was so much topping that it almost took the shine away from the oysters themselves. Next time, I'd ask for lighter toppings and no scallions. For my entrée, I had the Halfshell Grilled Redfish. The fish itself was cooked beautifully--moist, flaky, and perfectly prepared. The only downside was the chermoula, which leaned far too heavily on the citrus. The lemon flavor completely overpowered the fish. As my side, I ordered the Chicken and Andouille Sausage Gumbo. Unfortunately, it had a distinct burnt taste, which made it seem like the roux had been overcooked. A good gumbo should have a deep, rich flavor, but this one was overshadowed by that burnt note. My friend ordered the Jerk Fish Collars, and we both agreed they would have been much better if the fish had been marinated to allow the jerk seasoning to really penetrate. I also ordered a Lemon Drop Martini, and I have to admit I was surprised when it arrived in such a tiny martini glass, especially considering the price. Overall, the quality of the seafood is evident, and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. I think a few adjustments to the lighting, better balance in some of the flavors, and more attention to details like the gumbo and cocktail portions would elevate the experience even further. I'd definitely return to try more of the menu and hope for a more polished experience next time.

Want to start by saying I loved the atmosphere. Loved being able to sit at a bar, loved the music, and service was superb. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Catfish was pretty good. It had the perfect crunch and a plentiful portion so no complaints. Sides were good but not something I'd rave about. The étouffée was pretty solid but the Brussels could've been better. Maybe seasoning them a little more, cutting them in halves, and charring them would've done the job. Peach cobbler was so yummy. I loveeeee how they have offer for preferences with the peach cobbler (more crust, more filling, or neutral) because I personally love more crust. Kool aid was good but could stand to be just a tad bit less sweet with more flavor. All in all if you have a catfish craving and want good vibes and service I'd 1000% endorse this spot.

I got the catfish plate with red beans, dirty rice and an extra side of greens. The fish was great. Big pieces, well seasoned, fried perfectly - 9/10. the dirty rice was don well too - 7/10. The red beans were ok, nothing special, but not bad either - 6/10. The GREEENS tho.... 1/10. NOPE - never again. Glory canned greens with a whisper of a thought of seasoning and half a gallon of pepper sauce. While waiting for my food, a lady already seated and eating starting having an episode from being overheated. It just wasn't a great experience and the food wasn't worth another try for me.

Because there are no pictures on the menu, she gave very detailed visual descriptions of the meals we were interested in. She did not steer us wrong. We ordered the kids burger, catfish and grits with shredded oxtail and chicken and waffles. All exceeded the expectation and left us with full bellies. The portions are larger than normal but not too much where there is waste or leftovers (at least for us). The waffles are sweet potato and they were very tasty. I'm not a fan of sweet potato waffles because many times they are grainy-like and the texture isn't pleasing. However, these waffles were light and perfectly cooked. It came with bourbon maple pecan syrup that complimented the flavor of the waffle. The chicken and catfish were fried to perfection and the oxtail was tender. It's a pricier place for brunch.
