I visited with my family, who rave about this restaurant. They are the reason I gave a 4-star rating. They love their burgers and brisket. I personally would rate it a 2.5-3, mainly due to the fact I'm not a beef or pork eater. I had the catfish platter, which came with two sides, tarter sauce and cocktail sauce. I chose creamed corn and steamed veggies (squash, bell peppers and zucchini). The catfish and the steamed veggies were pretty good. Warning - the creamed corn has bacon mixed into it. The waitress was extremely nice and offered to replace the side free of charge. I would recommend the catfish platter or cedar plank salmon if you're looking for a fish option! read more

Great patio! Affordable beer, with plenty of great local options on draft. The barbecue definitely has a very peppery profile... if pepper is not your thing, you may want to avoid it. Fortunately, we are pepper people and enjoyed it. Not sure I'd want to inside... it's dark and a little depressing, but I'll eat barbecue and drink beer on this patio any day. read more

I have 0 complaints about this place. I would 100% recommend this place. The service was great and the food was amazing! I am a big fan of the pork sausage and green beans. The drinks are great as well! I had the blue raspberry lemonade. To top it off, the prices were just right. Overall, it's a great environment for a friend or family lunch. I will be returning! read more

This meal almost made me cry how good it satisfied my food craving! Everything was on point from the sides to the meats. The service was amazing the staff is funny and so nice definitely 10/10 recommend. read more

Been here twice now in the past few weeks. Looks like we found another great place to eat/drink. The chicken, brisket and beef ribs we ate are all awesome. Same with the side dishes. Plenty of great beers on tap to help wet your whistle. We love the outdoor seating area with live music!!! Service was great. We shall return! read more

The food here is excellent! So far, the two servers that we've had were excellent as well. To be honest, my only complaint is the serving size of the sides is all over the place. The fried okra is a giant side of fried okra, while the cucumber and tomato salad is a tiny little ramekin. So far, the brisket, the sausage, and the pork ribs have been amazing read more

We sat outside for an early dinner this weekend - it was a firehouse afternoon so it worked out well. We had a party of 10 people and they have some big picnic tables. There was plenty of space for everyone. We had margaritas, fried pickles, and queso for starters and everything was good. The portion sizes were good and everything we ordered came out correctly and quickly. We will probably be back. I'd definitely recommend for a team sport/get together as there was plenty of room outside for multiple families. read more

Great hang out spot. My Kid loved the live music and the food was fantastic. Our waitress was very attentive even though it was busy. Great place to take the family read more

I was taken to this establishment for a work lunch. Let me tell you! I would like to go back every day and try something new on this menu. I had an amazing brisket and cheese sauce that had a surprising spicy kick to it. The brisket was very was smoked and carried tremendous flavor on its own. I ate the pepper bacon burger and it was delicious. Well cooked and juicy. Not too many toppings. It came with pepper jack cheese, bbq sauce, peppered bacon, and the basic lettuce, onions, and pickle. The space is very big and has area for groups and small outings. The outside area has tables and chairs that would definitely cater to a night of bands playing. read more

I was a major fan of Pappa Charlie's BBQ in EaDo, and was saddened to hear they were shutting down. Until I heard they were relocated to Cypress (my childhood town and where most of my familia still resides), so needless to say, I still had easy access to their stellar 'que. Pappa Charlie's AKA Cypress Trail Hideout is in a fantastic location off Hemptstead. This new location is bigger, has a large patio complete with a stage for musical performances. Full bar inside, video games, plenty fo TVs. It's family-friendly, but still attracts folks just bellying up to the bar for a drink and a hearty BBQ meal. My favorites are their loaded baker with chopped brisket. I used to UberEats this on the reg when they were in the city. Perfect for hangovers! If you have time, do dine in. Dining in has always been better than take-out. Portions seem more generous and plated well. But they do cater and offer takeout. Looking forward to checking out those delectable looking sandwiches and burgers. Turkey Avo looks amazing. Great photos, Yelpers. Keep em coming so I can choose my next order! read more

Seriously. Everything is good. I ate the Chicken with corn salsa and pico and had a side of green beans. It was juicy, flavorful and filling. I would love to figure out how to make that corn salsa at home - it was that good. My hubby ate the 2 meat plate with boudin and brisket. He loved the brisket and he is super picky about it. I loved that boudin I tasted off his plate. My kids had the cheese burgers and chicken strips with fries for off the kids meals and they raved about how good they were. read more

Good food , great atmosphere & pet friendly place outside! Large nice outside patio for eating if traveling with your pet '!!!

Tried this place out with the whole family. Have to say love the huge outdoor patio dining. Some tables are park picnic table style and some have pull out chairs. Lots of space with some areas covered and with fans. Others just have umbrellas. Food was basic but good. Will have that the salmon is good and I would definitely get it again. Pulled pork and brisket sandwiches are basic but good. It's nothing special food wise but lots of tvs, cold beer and a good atmosphere. We will return for that alone. read more

Seems like we waited for years for someone to take the little run down house which was here, into Something cool like this. Really happy with the owners' design idea to make it a laid back, family friendly, amazing bbq restaurant. The location is a little odd - behind a strip center and across the street from the railroad, but it really works and it adds to the charm that it is a little out of the way. They always have a selection of local draft beers and the brisket is some of the best I've had. Haven't eaten here enough to give a 5 star yet but may upgrade to that after a few more trips. read more

This place was great! It deserves better reviews than I am seeing! Brisket A+. Ribs A+. Service A+. Beer menu A+. Atmosphere A+. Tea A+. I can't fathom why some folks trash local spots that are not chain places. I have seen that with several local restaurants that are new or think outside of the box. I find this place to be a very welcome addition to the neighborhood and far better than most other local options for BBQ. I'm pretty sure that some folks just like to complain. As for me, I enthusiastically welcome our neW BBQ to the area! read more

My husband wanted a chicken fried steak decided to try this place out. He ordered a chicken friend steak but as you can see in the picture the coating didn't even stay on. The mashed potatoes were good and the actual steak had good flavor but overall 3 stars for this dish. read more

Hubby and I moved to Cypress recently and was told this place was good. The bbq was excellent, I didn't love the CFS, but everything else was very good. There are also frozen mixed drinks, the Jack and coke was perfect for the hot afternoon. Our server Joe was super sweet and attentive. Will definitely come back! read more

This is really about a 3.5 if I'm honest with the potential for a 4. Parking is limited, and it's a gravel lot. Going on a Saturday around 4, meant that finding a parking spot wasn't easy. I can't imagine being here around prime dinner time. The building itself looks new, and is spacious enough inside. Additionally, there's ample outdoor seating. Now for the food. We came for the barbecue as I'm currently on Keto, and I loved Pappa Charlie's when they were downtown, although I couldn't have my beloved boudin this time (cause Keto like I mentioned previously). I did get my bbq place usual 2 meat plate with brisket and sausage, green beans and coleslaw as sides. My husband ordered the same with brisket, boudin (the betrayal of the ones you love), mashed potatoes (more betrayal), and coleslaw. I should have asked for all moist brisket, but I didn't think of it when ordering. We both had about half lean, half moist, and considering it was delicious along with everything else. I know many folks love lean brisket, but I do not. In the future I'll definitely ask for all moist. In short, if you're looking for some good que, give them a try, but don't go at peak times or you'll have trouble finding a place to park. read more

I ordered delivery Sunday April 30, 2023. The brisket had been steamed, the pork ribs tasted a bit like creosote or burnt sugar and were not tender, rather overcooked. I am not pleased!!! I spent about 100.00 dollars for meals that I'm going to have to try and salvage recooking. If that's even possible read more

Cypress Trail Hideout is one of my family's favorites we eat here at least once a month. My kids love the sliced brisket we usually order them a pound to share which comes with sliced bread, pickles, and bbq sauce on the side. My husband and I have tried several items on the menu my favorite is the sliced brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad and my husband's favorite is the loaded potato with chopped brisket. The restaurant's atmosphere is very family friendly. They have a big outdoor area with a stage where they have live music in the evening. It's very clean, priced well, and the staff is very friendly. They have lots of options from bbq to salads. They also have a full bar I definitely recommend this place. read more

We have been coming to this restaurant ever since it opened and have supported it on several occasions during the Lockdown. Tonight we ordered the family style 2 meat dinner. We are very disappointed. This meal is supposed to feed 4-6 people. There are 3 of us to feed. The brisket weighed a pound as advertised - however 5 ounces of that was fat. The macaroni and cheese was enough to feed one hungry teenager. The other side was 3/4 of the advertised weight. We did not get bread, onions or jalapeños as advertised. This 'meal' cost $68.14 with tax and notwithstanding the tip I left. I called and spoke to the manager and he was very polite but didn't ask for any contact details. Just promised to take care of us the next time (?) we go. How will he know? read more

Pappa Charley's CTH has the best BAR in Cypress, TX, Definitely. Michelle, Hendricks, Caitlyn and Kaylee & Co. (please forgive me the staff that I've omitted) are excellent bar staff. Always attentive and service with a Beautiful Smile with these Wonder Women. The Musical talent brings a FUN Party as well with Mr. Wonderful etc. Oh and the food is good too. Yummy Muffuletta. Go and have a goodtyme!! I'll see Y'all Friday. Merry Christmas, John Duran read more

Was excited to try this new bbq place due to the reviews on Yelp. It is located behind Target and Charming Charlie. The building has a cool look to it and relaxing outside atmosphere. We were seated right away during lunch hour. We wanted to try a little bit of everything so we got chips and queso to start with. The consistency of the queso was not good, salsa was ok but nothing to write home about. We also ordered a turkey bbq meat sandwich with potato salad and the turkey bacon avocado sandwich with fries. The turkey bbq meat was good, bun was pretty, but very dense. Potato salad was ok, German type, lacked flavor. The 2nd turkey sandwich was gorgeous, just difficult to eat. Fries were a fail. The outside looks like it would be a lot of fun seeing that they have live music every Friday and Saturday night. We will definitely try this again and order meat minus the bread. All in all great service, location, and ambiance. Give it a visit!! read more

New place, much more work to do to improve BBQ food and quality. Had the brisket dinner, creamed corn and mac and cheese. Family member had the cheeseburger with fries. I'd go back, but not for the BBQ or hamburgers....just for the outdoor atmosphere! Areas to improve (identical to other reviewers postings): 1) Brisket had no taste, lacking any smoke flavor and no spice. The side BBQ sauce is served "cold" in a side container (as if poured right out of refridge). Think warm brisket in cold sauce on your sliced bread. $13 2) The hamburger was overdone, dry even though asked 'how do you want it cooked' and our response was 'medium'. We did not bother to send it back. This was a $10 hamburger BTW, lacking flavor, possible frozen patty (?) with a small bun. Hint: This is NOT your Shack Burger/ Good Company/ Beck's Prime style. The great things (compliments to the management): 1) Outdoor atmosphere is outstanding, lights hung from the beautiful oak trees, plenty of tables, room for the kids to run around. TVs setup throughout for watching sports. Dogs are welcome (if on a leash). 2) Providing live music (each Friday/ Saturday nights ~6pm++). Tonight was a nice country music artists on the stage. Great place for a beer, enjoying the Texas sunset. 3) Service was friendly and prompt. Management is attentive and thanks customers for visiting. 4) Indoor atmosphere is also a great place, indoor bar, cold AC! 5) Creamed corn is outstanding, full of flavor and spice. Mac and Cheese was great. If you enjoy live music with a Texas sunset, this is your place. If you are wanting great BBQ, go to nearby Goode Co, Rudy's, or Spring Creek. Tips for going back: Keep to appetizers (e.g. chips and queso), enjoy a few adult beverages, and enjoy live music in the Texas sunset. read more

We have some friends who live quite far away & this is the halfway point if we're looking to meet up. My friend suggested this place and I agreed because it looks like they serve a little bit of everything. I'm picky & it's hard to find something I'll eat, but I'm usually safe with a kid's chicken tender meal. My boyfriend had the 2 meat dinner with fried okra and cucumber salad. Our friends split the same, but switched the okra for macaroni. My friend and I also had several beers. The food was excellent, but it was the service we received that made it a 5 star review. Our drinks were never empty and we didn't have to ask for anything. I wish I knew her name so she'd get the recognition she deserves. I will definitely keep this in mind when choosing in the future. read more

Food is great, unfortunately the service is God awful. There system at the bar for ordering food and drinks is not working, obviously. We ordered from the tables surrounding the bar. We were sat down and not given any instructions, so we ordered at the bar. They brought out our food in to-go containers...while we were seated for dine in. Then, they brought the check, and asked us 3 different times if we had the payment yet, within 20 minutes, while we were eating. At dine in. The food is really good and fairly priced, but I definitely don't recommend until they get the system figured out. read more

If you want actual BBQ that tastes good go elsewhere or make it at home. Came from Kentucky to see family, I also travel for a living, and wanted some decent BBQ, this place was a complete disappointment. The ambience was good, alcohol is well alcohol, but the food was awful. Service was fine, waitress was nice other than that I would not recommend eating here. read more

Update 3/3/22...decent service tonight. Our server was nice and fairly attentive. Food was what we've come to expect at CTH. The baked potato, wings, mac n cheese balls, and fried okra are usually a hit with our crew. My picky (child) guest ordered the chicken quesadilla with the chicken on the side, and it came out great. Thankful they accommodated him. I decided to try the nachos tonight for a change. Not ever again. They would've been better with real cheese, but the gritty, fake cheese queso on top ruined this appetizer. Next time, burger and fries! read more

Great atmosphere. Many non-barbeque items on menu. Tried at least half of them...all were great!

Great BBQ, friendly staff and live music on some nights with outdoor seating. Interesting bit if history too...Google it:)

We stumbled across the place, in passing and decided to give it a try! Honestly, such a good decision. Really great vibes, awesome food and great service. We went for a birthday and they give a free dessert to the birthday person! read more

What a fun place! Had sliced smoked turkey and beef. Both were juicy and flavorful! The turkey had a good amount of pepper and the sliced beef had just the right amount of fat to make it moist. The entire wait staff was helpful and friendly and the manager came over just to check how we were! I'll be back. read more

Good service, very friendly staff. I RARELY eat BBQ but decided to try this place out after hearing about their margaritas. The house margarita was good BUT the BBQ was REALLY REALLY Awesome! Ribs, sausage and pulled pork. Margaritas at the bar while I wait For my carry out. read more

It's suburb service, some kids being an order taker. Not a proper waiter who understand diners needs. Have to ask for everything, no though about actual sales just order taken. Waiters are kids and don't know the menu themselves which is typical suburb quality these days. The moist brisket is fantastic, the smoked half chicken is dry as hell. Wtf is up with 30$ rack of ribs, Texas Roadhouse just went up on rack of ribs to $21.95 and those are tender back ribs. 30$ on ribs at this place is BS. I can name 3 places local better and cheaper ribs. Burgers are great, sides are good. If they remember the sides. I asked 3 times for pickles and onions for my brisket, I first asked when I ordered brisket. The inexperienced staff who still want 20% tip but gives 10% service quality. Anticipation on needs, consolidating steps, table maintenance, if you want that look elsewhere. They think they are better than they actually are. They are decent but overpriced for what you actually get. I keep going back, but my menu is very small since I think they only do a few things worth my money. Dirty tables, unknowledgeable order takers, heat constantly coming in from back and front doors since they have a sand pit for kids out front are all annoying factors. I will grab a burger but won't take my family for a meal there. read more

Ordered on Uber eats I was in a remote location so they packed no plastic ware or napkins and they didn't provide me with my complete order, missing food item. Lack of attention to detail and thats a bad first impression. Ordered the smoked pastrami Ruben it was tasty, but maybe a lil too smoky for a Ruben but that was my fault obviously not gonna get that true Ruben flavor from a bbq place. I also ordered the loaded baked potato which was pretty bland and couldn't finish it. The potato salad was just bad, couldn't eat it and we'll the greens beans that I didn't get, I couldn't tell you cause I didn't get them. And by the way now I'm feeling sick to my stomach I hope it's not food poisoning. Look just being honest if I could give less that a 1 star I would. Don't bother contacting me as I will refuse to ever eat your food again. Bad bad bad! read more

Came here for a Happy Hour for work. Called ahead and asked if they could accommodate 20+ people. They said no problem and had reserved 3 tables under the pavilion outside. Kaitlyn, our amazing waitress, was very attentive and always on top of who needed what. The food we sampled were the smoked wings (crispy skins and moist meat), fried mac and cheese ball's, brisket queso, pork belly bites, and fried pickles. Everything was great! Came back two days later and will make this a regular place to hang out. read more

We decided to try this place out since we wanted BBQ. Interior of the restaurant is clean. They get the 2nd star for that. The meats...no flavor on the turkey, just dry. The brisket, only 2 small slices...pepper, nothing else. The ribs needed more smoke, the sausage, meh. Where is the mustard on that potato salad? My green beans were tasty until I discovered the long blonde curly hair in them. Our waitress was okay. Not much interaction with her. We have decided, we won't go back since it's mediocre at best. read more
