*Note: Dave's is closed on Sundays and Mondays! You know your bbq is going to be high quality when the joint is connected to a meat market. Dave's is our go-to bbq place. I love their pulled pork and chopped brisket. Their smoked chicken and turkey is also delicious. You can get a 2-, 3- or never-ending meat plate (dine in only for this option!). Their pecan cobbler is da bomb. They usually have a crazy good special posted at the door. Most recently it was a chicken plate with 2 sides for 5.99. Can't go wrong! They shut down the friers and grills about 30 mins before closing, so make sure you get there before that to get some delish fried okra. read more

Dave's Smokehouse and Meat Market is almost a hole-in-the-wall Bar-B-Q joint. In spite of that, it's a nice place. The employee that took my order was a little brisk, understandable as they were busy at the time, but still not an appealing quality. The food was delivered hot though and the experience was excellent. The Food: I had the sliced beef sandwich with pickles and onions, which honesty could have used another couple of slices of beef. The bread to meat ratio was just a little off. The beef had a great flavor though and was very nicely smoked. The BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy and almost literally the icing on the cake. The onion rings were unique and had a good flavor, however they were overcooked and too crunchy. The Verdict: I'll definitely return to Dave's in the future. There is still so much here that I wasn't able to try on this visit. read more

Texas is about BBQ and this place does it right! The staff are friendly, prices are good and the food is GREAT!! I would highly recommend this place! We will keep coming back again and again... read more

Have served great bbq and misc food for years. The spot is small, but it's amazingly good.

Sure glad found this place at Yelp. Smokehouse beside a meat dealer. Had ribs and brisket, my wife ordered catfish Both great. Excellent smoke pattern in the meat. Clean restaurant and restroom Great decor. Must try! read more

I am glad I got to try Dave's the final day that I lived in Texas it had to be the best BBQ I have found around this area. The staff was super friendly and you cannot beat all you can eat BBQ for 13.99 in which you can choose 3 meats and 2 sides at a time. The spare ribs, potato salad, okra, and brisket were all really good. read more

Had the sliced brisket sandwich. It was very good. I mean really good. Also had ordered a pound of spare ribs. They were not good. They didn't seem to have been smoked and if they had been, they were cooked too fast as they were tough and rubbery. read more

Bought Lunch for my election crew, Brisket, turkey & pints of sides (love the fired okra!). Got rave reviews from the whole crew. Called in the order and it was hot, ready with plates, utensils, condiments including jalapenos. Great food and service! read more

Not from around here but was looking for a bite to eat and found this place. Honestly it's the most hometown type place I've ever been in. Little kitchen in the back with a very simple menu, butcher shop/meat market to the right of it but what really made me go WOW was there chicken fried steak. 2 big cutlets with 2 sides and man was I full! Truly a beautiful place with history and the staff was amazing. Definitely will be coming back! read more

After reading other reviews on yelp, we decided to stop in, and we were very happy we did! Meat was great, portions were HUGE (turkey was my all time favorite) and the sauce was delicious. Ribs weren't our favorite, but still cooked great, and also HUGE. Our best part of the experience was the woman behind the counter, Crystal, who was absolutely amazing and made us feel more than welcome- even helped with a dessert since we were new and traveling through! We hope others stop in and try this place, it was definitely worth while- don't let how small it looks from the road detour you! :) read more

Bang for the buck this is a great place. All the beef is pretty lean and the meat really does fall off the bone. The 2 meat combo plate is about $10 after tax and easily makes 2 meals. Highly suggested place and has a cool, true BBQ feel, on the inside. read more

Came in with huge appetite and about to leave happy! Definitely coming back specially on my HONGRY days, I mean heavy lift day at the gym LOL read more

Dave's Smokehouse - Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Potato Salad and Onion Rings YUM! - Barbeque Near Me - Seabrook, Texas

First time in Texas and wanted good BBQ after visiting the Space Center. These guys took great care of us! They've been doing this for a while and use top quality meat. Check out the store next door as well, we bought smoked turkey and sausage to take home. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Everything was fantastic !!! This place is a diamond in the rough. The staff was so cool and friendly and this place optimizes great southern food. Real authentic. read more

Dave's Smokehouse - Barbeque Near Me - Seabrook, Texas

BEST Chicken Fried Steak ever!!! The meat is sent over directly from the meat market next door and cooked to order. BBQ sandwiches are full of delicious tender brisket and to die for BBQ sauce. Ribs are juicy and meaty. Loaded Baked potato with pulled pork is amazing, as well as their Baked Potato Salad. Staff said BBQ sauce is GLUTEN FREE, but you may want to ask again. We've never been disappointed. Just wish they were opened on Sundays and Mondays (my days off)!!! read more

Been here forever, can't go ring with a chopped beef sandwich and they have great sides and desserts as well!

Unknown how this place rates so highly--friend and I ate lunch there last Friday, each had two meat plate so got to try four different meats. Sliced brisket was dry, pulled pork even more dry, sausage was like rubber--literally the worst either of us had ever eaten. The spare ribs, however, were the only bright spot--they were done just right and moist. Sides were unremarkable, and we both swore that the beans were straight out of a can with a piece or two of rubber sausage tossed in, tiny little beans. Maybe we caught it on a bad day, but BBQ is ubiquitous in Texas and shouldn't be that inconsistent. There are literally hundreds of BBQ opportunities around here, I won't be going back to this one. read more

Excellent place , stylish and clean. I was going there for a long time. I always feel welcome . The Store has good variety of fresh meat and always provide outstanding service . I love to order my dinner to go. read more

Great meat market! Good BBQ next store, get the BBQ meats only the sides need some work.

Went here while in Houston. Had a great Texan BBQ dinner. It has it's own butcher where you can pick out your own steak for them to cook or you can take it home. We tried the brisket and pulled pork. Both were delicious. The meat was super tender and the flavor was great. Cool atmosphere and great staff. More than helpful when we perused the meat market. Next time we're back in Houston we'll be back. read more

Food was very good. A little hard to find until you see the hint that it is connected to a butcher shop literally. I had the chopped brisket and pulled pork and both the meat and the sauce lived up to my expectations . I would definitely recommend it to my friends local and traveling through. read more

Loved it. Best brisket sandwich I've had, and washed down with perfect sweet tea. Highly recommended.

This place is DELISH!!!!! I felt like I was in a western movie there! Food is mamas home cooking for sure!!

Love Daves Smokehouse, it's down the street from our home so it's a great place when you don't want to cook. If you do want to cook or grill, go to the attached Bay Area Meat Market, quality meats and lots of 'pop in the oven' entrees. Everything is delicious, you can't go wrong with either place. The BBQ is delicious as is the Chicken Fried Steak, oh and the onion rings, old fashioned real ones. Can't think of anything we've had from either place that wasn't good. Give them a try, you'll be glad you did. read more

The bbq sauce and chopped brisket was pretty good, the serving sizes were awesome. Id like to give a 3.5 rating but can't. The coleslaw was quite terrible. Too much mayo not enough other vegetables hardly any flavor to it. Deffinately not the best bbq in town but worth going to if your in the need for a fix. Maybe its best to stick with their meat items. read more

Love the dinners at Dave's, with the brisket and ribs special favorites. And be sure to get a side of okra and some extra sauce, it is good. One of the coolest features: pick out a steak in the great meat market and have them grill it for you! Does it get better than that? Stop in and enjoy! read more

Had a combination plate with brisket and sausage... delicious. The restaurant and spit are in a small space next to a specialty meats butcher. It's a charming little place -- full of early-to-mid 20th century Americana antiques -- and it's worth a visit. read more

Great little shop. I got the Friday pork rib special: $5.99 for two to three ribs with two sides. Can't beat that! The ribs weren't overly seasoned, but were well done and juicy. Turnaround time from order to eating was less than four minutes. read more

Excellent! The best places are always small and friendly! Brisket melts in your mouth.

That place sucks i order a baked potatoes. She charge me full price but doesn't give me any meat. The cashier is kinda bitchy no customer service. read more

I hate to give negative reviews but I was really disappointed with the lack of flavor in the sliced beef and sausage links... even the barbecue sauce didn't add enough flavor to make it palatable... sides were okay though unremarkable .. my date's ribs and chopped beef were well cooked but also flavorless. Helpings were generous however.. and the restaurant was very clean and well maintained . While we ate in the restaurant shortly before closing, several people came in for takeout so the food must be to the taste of some customers. read more

The food here was most excellent! The workers were fabulous! The cashier was by herself with a super long line but smiled constantly and was very pleasant with everyone. There were several people working hard in the back kitchen area making and preparing the most awesome food! We were only on vacation and stopped to grab a bite but if I lived there I would visit it ever weekend! Awesome job to the staff! 2 thumbs up!! read more

Had heard lots about this place from my family. They were right on. Food is fresh, moist, and tasty

GOOD FOOD & GOOD PRICES only negative is that close at 7pm and they don't serve alcohol. Other than that its a great neighborhood Restaurant for a quiet family dinner. Don't go expecting a social scene. read more

Oh how I love this place, let me count the ways! The fact that the BBQ is really, really good and the prices aren't too shabby this place gets a HUGE thumbs up! I've been going for lunch for at least 5 years now, and have yet have a bad meal.. Granted the place is pretty small and only really open for the lunch crowd, but for my money probably one of the better BBQ joints in town.. read more

Excellent meat market and smoke house. Highest quality steaks and the kindest people working behind the counter. Great family owned business. We love this place read more

Love this place! If you need an "I didn't make it but I could act like I did" kinda meal then hit their frozen from chopped beef to chicken n dumplings...how do you go wrong! read more

Delicious! They have the best smoked turkey! read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would. We were a group of six people and each ordered different things and everything was just delicious! The cashier was very friendly and patient as we made our selection from the menu on the wall behind her. The authentic western decoration was accumulated over 3 3 years by the owner who comes in each morning at 4 AM to start the massive smoker where the fresh meats from next doors meat market are prepared. No hormones or additives are used they explained. Their goal is great food and a wonderful experience and they achieved it! read more

Live down the street. Locals seem to love this place for some reason beyond me, foods gross. We've tried several items from the meat market and can't recommend any of it. I mean how do you screw up bacon? Brisket is always dry and taste like fake smoke. Beef sandwiches are just as nasty. The pickles are good though. read more
