You might be wondering why I'm reviewing a "closed" establishment, it's because they're now a…read moreconstantly moving target--a Houston treasure and perhaps a suggested speakeasy. As winners of the Steak Showdown in Texas in 2023 for the people's choice for best traditional dish and the judges choice for best creative dish, they've garnered a respectable following as a pop-up with Houston foodies on Instagram. Their model for first-come, first-served attracts the curious and past fans of their work. Expect a minimum wait of about 2 hours and pray they don't run out of anything. We made the mistake of dressing moderately warm for the cold temperatures of January, but who would've thought that we'd be seeing 6 inches of snow--and in Houston of all places? Admittngly, the smells waiting in line are absolutely intoxicating. The folks are trying to be as accommodating as possible with how cold it's getting by setting up propane warmers around their setup inside the parking space at PARK BLVD in the Heights, but one can only endure waiting in a crawling line for so long--there can be better process management to attack the demand. It was especially upsetting seeing people jump out of the line just to end up 30 minutes in front of you ordering the last 3 available ribeyes. We ended up getting the LAST tomahawk ribeye that we reserved online the week prior and it was epic..! But talk about stressful... The team also gave us some laotian sausage for standing in line for so long but there's got to be some kind of fail safe in place so that you don't have people waiting hours just to buy up a plate of sides. All the meats should be counted prior and counted as theyre being sold, and maybe limiting 2 entrees per person would help mitigate the amount of empty mouths. Anyway, the food was amazing. I'm definitely coming back on the next pop-up!

After my first encounter with this place I started looking into it and reaching out to other customers that have had similar experiences. This place literally steals from their customers. Don't take my word for it, go research for yourself. How can a place like this stay in business? There is NOTHING fine about Pete's meat!! He buys it at Costco and Sam's, he steals it from his customers and overcharges you for it!!! Absolutely immoral and unethical behavior!!! I hope you get caught sir

The Barbacoa was excellent! The mixed breakfast taco was good. The tamale was decent. The green sauce was excellent! The customer service here is great. Everyone from working the food counter to the cashier was extremely nice. I would definitely go back. The inside is pretty cool. Looks like an old store and in the east side. Solid four stars no doubt about it. They did a great job. I've never heard of this place but I'm glad I stopped in.

Although it is very busy most of the time from what I'm told, they have a great staff that is working quickly to get everybody's orders done. The selection of meats of all types was simply amazing from what I am used to now in Atlanta, Georgia. Be prepared for a little wait if you get there during a busy time. But the time goes by quickly if you interact with the other customers. I found it amazing at what some of these folks were doing with some of these exotic cuts. I learned a lot, and there is some things that I am going to try in the future thanks too just being friendly and talking with people. If you're looking for a butcher in Houston, B & W meat company is it!

First time here…read more.. You pick a number and wait your turn. They have a variety of produce items and lots of market items as well. I recommend their All Purpose Seasoning. It has a really nice subtle flavor that's a little sweet and not salty. Stacey lynn provided really great service and she explained to me that they cut meat daily. This is a popular place and on a Sunday it's very busy. I suggest for your first time going during the week to familiarize your self. They have a huge selection of beef. The fish selection was limited to catfish, shrimp and snapper. They do accept majority forms of payment. I will definitely be back to try other meats.

It's a small grocery shop with lots of deli food options. They got a grill outside the market to cook the meats, some extra heat under this Texas heat. I ordered the mini tacos: barbacoa, tripa, asada, and chicharron in green sauce. Most recommend the barbacoa, the meat chunks just fall apart in my mouth, and the charred edge added extra texture and flavor too. And I really like the chicharron too, every piece was soaked up with zesty and spicy juice, very juicy to eat. The menudo was not gamy at all, but I could use some more lime to make it more sour to complement the spiciness. Will be back for more!

The place for excellent chorizo. Not that greasy saliva gland grocery store chorizo. But real…read morechorizo. As a person native born to Houston, but having lived and explored much of the world, one of my favorite things to do is to invite friends to go on a walking tour with me, of the area around the Houston Farmer's Market on Airline. Many years run by the Canino family, as a co-op with local farmers. And when they retired a group of Houstonians, committed to preserving it and making it as nice as possible for shopping. And it's a wonderful place to go shopping for fruits and vegetables and to eat one of the restaurants here. So I usually begin my walking tour with a trip to El Bolillo Bakery to show them the breads and then over to Granel Spices and then to El Rey meat market to show them the chorizo that I like and the freshly made chicharrones and to pointing out the most excellent Mexican restaurant just on the side El Rey. And then heading over to the farmers market proper and showing them the excellent flour tortillas that one can get at Alamo Tamales. A visit to LA Crawfish or other eateries. And also walk and talk about the different uses of the spices and maybe some tropical fruits that people might not be familiar with. It's a great half day and I love taking people around. So definitely plan to visit this area of Airline Drive and have some fun.
