    We've been on a hunt for the best BBQ in the Houston area. Fire Craft was in the line up so we decided to stop by to see what it was all about. We arrived around 12pm on a Saturday. The restaurant was spacious, clean, not too crowded and the wait to order was not long at all. We approached the register to place our order and the young lady at the register wasn't the friendliest. No hello, no smile, just a stare. We wanted ribs but were told they sold out, however we heard another employee saying they had a batch coming off the pit. I also tried to order the pinto beans and she said those were sold out as well. We found a table and waited about 10 mins or so for our food to be delivered do our table. We ordered a chopped chicken sandwich, baked potato, Mac n cheese, baked beans, corn spoon-bread, and brisket. Most of the items were really good and freshly made. Baked beans were just okay, reminded me of pork n beans. The spoonbread had great texture but lacked flavor. Although the cashier wasn't the most pleasant, the manager made up for the lacking customer service. He could be seen walking around the restaurant interacting with customers and asking about their experience. Overall it was a pretty good experience!

    OK, be forewarned! The food is delicious and the servings are generous! Every month our club meets for lunch at a local restaurant, we started after Covid as a way to support the community and so many places that were struggling. Four years on and we still enjoy doing it. This month was back to an old favorite, Fire Craft BBQ. Owner and head pit master, David Welch puts his heart and soul into the products his restaurant turns out. Not only that, there is a lot of variety and specialty dishes on the menu that most other BBQ places don't serve. We had 14 in our group and were able to pull together some tables and chairs in the large additional dining room they added not long after opening. The room is clean and well lit, big ceiling fans keep the air moving. Our group ordered a variety of things; I had the brisket hamburger with a side of the very southern yellow squash casserole. My wife had the chopped beef sandwich with fries and another friend had the chicken plate with beans and coleslaw. Others had their tocos and other sandwiches, one had the ribs. We were all full and happy when we finished. What 's nice is David came by to check on us and make sure everyone was happy, not many owners take that kind of personal attention.

    Decided to finally check out Fire Craft BBQ after hearing good things about it. Oh man it was good! Went on a Thursday around 12 noon and the line was out the door but moved quickly. Went with a 3 meat combo and 2 sides so I could try a variety. $30 seemed a bit expensive but once I saw how much food it was I felt like the price was very fair. The fatty brisket is soooooo good. Melts in your mouth. Jalapeno sausage was delicious with a nice snap. Ribs were very good also. Pinto beans with pulled pork are insane good. Way more pulled pork with it than I was expecting so that was a nice bonus. Everyone in there was very friendly and checked on me a couple times making sure everything was good with my food. They have to-go boxes, which I definitely needed. I took home about half my meal. If you are in Houston or in particular the Kingwood area, make sure to check out Fire Craft bbq.

    Flew into Houston from California and landed hungry! You cannot go to Texas and not have some good BBQ so loaded up Yelp as soon as I got off the plane and settled for Fire Craft BBQ.. The employees were helpful on answering my questions and I ended up ordering a brisket sandwich with mustard potato salad. In the dining area there was BBQ sauce which had a great flavor. The meal came out quickly and was what PERFECT smoked brisket should taste like. I was in Heaven! Often when you ask for lean you get a dry meat and this was not only very lean but also not dry whatsoever. It was nice and tender. The smoke flavor was perfect as well. I ate some plain and some with the BBQ sauce on it and honestly it was great both ways. Service was also great. An employee came by regularly to make sure we did not need anything and then a man who I'm pretty sure is the owner came by as well to make sure we were happy with our meal... which we were. I will be back in Houston in February and I know exactly where I will be eating when I get off that plane! Thanks for an amazing dinner.

    Originally starting as a food truck (which is still operating), this first brick-n-mortar location of Fire Craft BBQ is located in Kingwood, TX, serving up Texas style Pit-smoked BBQ. I got carryout to bring back for dinner, and found the meat and sides to be good, though a bit expensive. Brisket (1 LB) - $36 - thickly cut, choice of moist, lean, or both. We got both. I had to try it immediately after we got it, to see if it had that OMG taste when the beef 'butter' is still dripping from the meat, when it is impossibly moist but still has great texture. This wasn't it. Wasn't sure if it had been pre-cut, or the brisket hadn't been kept warm properly, but parts of it was quite dry. I later ate some pieces closer to the vein of fat, and it was better. I did need a bit of bbq sauce as well. It was seasoned very well, and the quality of the beef (exclusively from Goodstock by Nolan Ryan) was obviously very good. Smoked Turkey (1/2 LB) - $14 - Very moist with good texture. Got 3 sides: Brussels Sprouts ($16 for 32oz) - it had been prepared well and tasted fine. I'm confident that it would have tasted amazing fresh out of the roasting oven, but it's hard to maintain that. Thus it tasted more like normal, steamed brussels sprouts. Dirty Rice ($16 for 32oz) - well made, with plenty of ground beef mixed in with the moist (almost wet) rice. Went really well with the brisket. Baked Beans ($16 for 32oz) - non-descript. No meat. Tasted fine, but not much better than what you can get from good canned baked beans. Was able to pay using Apple Pay, and the order was ready within 10 minutes. It was more than enough food for the three of us.

    Delicious Brisket!

    What a great BBQ place in Kingwood! We have heard about it from several friends, but just tried it yesterday. The service was excellent and the environment was warm and welcoming! Great location off of Kingwood drive, and fairly close to Hwy 59. We are pretty much BBQ snobs and this place definitely passed the test for us! Delicious Brisket! We will be regular customers. Give them a try!

    The menu from August 2026

    We were honored to be gifted a sample of the peach cobbler. Honestly, it's the best I've ever had ..crunchy ,gooey ,sweet ..everything I've ever wanted in a peach cobbler. Not a pie dough cobbler ..more like a moist, dense cake style. And I've tried peach color everywhere.

    This was the MOST AMAZING BBQ I've EVER HAD!!! Everything is made from scratch every day other dry seasoning we met the owner. He gave us a sample of the smoked turkey, which was so ridiculously good. He gave us a piece of these chicken. Also, the brisket is so tender and I ordered the taco best thing I've ever had. They were also smoking brie wheels for a catering order. Everything we had was amazing. We will definitely be back.

    4 skinny ribs, 3 pieces of turkey, half a link of sausage, 3 fatty slices of brisket = $55.00 Yay, food for the whole family. Haha! Lame.
    Michelle T.

    The food is always good at Fire Craft but what happened to serving size? We spent $55.00 on meat only. We received 3 slices of brisket, 3 slices of turkey, 8 slices of sausage, and 4 ribs! We had just gone to Goode Company two days ago. Spent less and received 5 times the amount of food. We even had 4 sides and two drinks. Same thing at Gatlin's Barbecue. So much more meat and sides and drinks for less money. Maybe Fire Craft needs to train employees on correct service of meat or they are just holding back on customers. Too many barbecue places to make this mistake.

    So I generally do not like BBQ because it never tastes good or the meat is dry. Well I am so happy I went here. The brisket was so tender and the jalapeño sausage was spicy and delicious. When I return to Houston I will definitely be back to try some of their other items.

    Visited this BBQ joint while in TX visiting friends. You order at the counter and they give you a number and they bring it to your table when its done. They have a large dining area inside however it was really warm and sticky inside. It didn't feel like the AC was even on. The iced tea and lemonade were really warm - even with a full cup of ice, my lemonade didn't actually get cold until I was done with it! As far as the food goes, we tried a few different meats and sides. The brisket was really good and so was the cheddar jalapeno sausage. I wasn't a fan of their ribs - very fatty. The sides were very generous portions! The mac and cheese was very rich and tasty and the jalapeno corn spoonbread was my favorite! The owner was very friendly - he offered us free samples while we waited to order and checked in on us a few times. I'd recommend this place to folks in the area.

    Usually in a restaurant, there are selections I like, some not so much. But I honestly can't say that about Fire Craft BBQ. Literally, everything I ordered was better than I expected! The brisket was perfect, the mustard potato salad was great, and the cole slaw was outstanding! Friends complimented their selections as well: Cowboy tri cut, pulled pork, cornbread, and baked beans. The staff is outstanding as well... they must have dropped by the table 4 or 5 times to make sure everything was great and offer take home boxes. I've found my new favorite BBQ place!

    Phone call wait time
    Fernando M.

    Well, I just gave up after holding on the phone for 10 minutes for Savannah to make an order for pick up! I had ordered over the phone before and it took 3 minutes at that time to take my order, however when I got there to pick up, I was asked to get in line to pay and then it seems that they went to put my order together because it took 10 minutes after I paid to get it! The food was actually good! Today, I was planning on clarifying those delay issues when placing my order, but in light of the fact that they didn't come back on the phone, I think I'll give them longer to get their stuff together. Will have to drive a bit farther to Corkscrew BBQ for some quality BBQ!

    This Mother's Day, I wanted to do something truly special for the four most important women in my…read morelife -- my wife, my mom, my sister, and my aunt. I didn't want to just take them out to dinner -- I wanted them to feel celebrated, appreciated, and completely pampered at home. Chef Kane with Taste of the Sophisticated (TOTS) brought that vision to life with elegance and soul. From the moment she arrived, Chef Kane was completely locked in. You could see the passion in her eyes and the confidence in every step she took in our kitchen. She worked with a quiet intensity and grace, and watching her create was like watching an artist in her element. Every dish that came out was more than food -- it was a moment. The evening started with Truffle Macaroni Bites, perfectly crisp and paired with roasted tomato-garlic coulis and truffle aioli -- a rich and flavorful opener. The French Onion Soup, topped with golden gruyère and comté over toasted brioche croutons, was the best I've ever had -- bold, warming, and luxurious. Then came the Chicken Velouté, a velvety, refined dish with crème fraîche, fresh tarragon, and smoked sea salt. The Truffle Caesar Salad was a sophisticated take on a classic -- pancetta and parmesan crisps added the perfect punch. The main courses were stunning: Baked Salmon with citrus beurre blanc, roasted heirloom carrots, and fingerling potatoes -- light, bright, and beautifully balanced. Spinach-Stuffed Chicken in white wine garlic sauce with truffle mashed potatoes and wild mushrooms -- rich, earthy, and comforting. And the crown jewel: an 8 oz Filet Mignon, flawlessly cooked, served with creamy truffle butter, roasted Brussels sprouts, and silky mashed potatoes. Dessert was a celebration in itself: A Molten Lava Cake made with Valrhona dark chocolate and topped with 24K gold leaf -- decadent and unforgettable. And a delicate Madagascar Vanilla Bean Cupcake with strawberry coulis -- light, fragrant, and a perfect final note. What struck me most was not just the exceptional food -- it was how Chef Kane made every woman at that table feel seen and celebrated. Her presence, care, and artistry elevated the night far beyond any restaurant or typical catering experience. If you're looking to turn a meaningful occasion into a luxurious and heartfelt experience, Chef Kane and TOTS are who you need. I can't thank her enough for making this Mother's Day unforgettable.

To be transparent, I have known the owner for many many years and is a dear friend of mine. My review is not to bolster or help a friend out, I decided to write this review after reflecting on my unique experience with them to highlight the professionalism and service quality Buttered Up Catering offers. I can imagine that many people approach friend clients with a more relaxed service level. This is NOT the case here.They are so kind, responsive, and helpful in the planning process. When they arrived with food, it was utmost professionalism. There was no cut corners, no playful friend conversation, no catching up. And that speaks volumes to the business approach and investment they put into this service. This is a truly dedicated business with good people working to make it happen. And needless to say, the food is amazing. I was barely able to snap pics before guests helped themselves! If you are looking for meals or catering just reach out, you will not regret it.
