Careful you may miss it as you head into Sealy(Maybe Wharton Tx) but I have a feeling all the locals know about it. From a wide variety of sides to multiple plate packages and barbecue cuts this is a fantastic place that's been around for a long time. (1973) Cassy met me at the counter and as expected had all the southern charm of a sleepy little town. Food was fantastic. This is an older building, but it's rustic and fits the mood. Perfect place to stop on your way through town as you're trying to get connected from Houston to San Antonio and I will be doing just that probably every time I go through here. I got a bunch of sides along with some different cuts. All were terrific, but I missed out on all of the covblers and desserts, which I'll probably get on the next time through. read more

Hinze's BBQ been around for 41 years! My parents been coming here since their twenties. Making memories years before I became a twinkle in their eyes. I remember coming here on trips back to their hometown to visit my grands and aunts and uncles. I'm happy I get to create memories with my little one, from when he was a baby, to returning home from troop camp outs to visiting back home to his great grandmas 79th birthday celebrations! I'm so glad we stayed put, when we collected our To go orders, because the chopped beef sandwiches wasn't chopped (-1), that quarter pound, looks a bit light than what we use to receiving from in spring creek. and the bbq baker potato didn't have the chives on the sides. (-1), Other than that, all was just as great as my childhood. read more

Excellent, friendly service and great smoked BBQ. The brisket was lean and the chicken was perfectly moist and tasty. Nothing was over-seasoned or over-cooked, and if you want their homemade BBQ sauce you add it yourself. My 2 meat combination plate (brisket and chicken) also came with a slice of bread, onions and pickles - which was awesome. They also have really good sweet tea. Prices were very reasonable and the ambience was casual. Looked like a combination of both locals and travelers (off the I-10), with most locals ordering their food as take-out. read more

The food and customer service was awesome. I will be coming back. I highly recommend given it a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

This place is great. The prices were awesome. It's also a drive through which was perfect on the road. We ordered brisket, turkey and sausage. They were very good and easy to eat on the road. The carrots were delicious as was the Mac and Cheese. The bread seemed to be fresh.. maybe homemade. I regret not trying their delicious looking desserts. read more

I paid $18 for a 2 meat plate and the Brisket was non existent and what was there didn't taste smoked for 16 hours. More like set under a heat lamp for 16 hours. Every business is entitled to a bad day. That is why I gave it a maybe rating instead of a downright -10. I went through the drive-through and by the time I had pulled over when it was time to eat 15 minutes later I was too far away to turn and go back with today's gas prices. I think they know this and delve out their portions accordingly, if you don't believe me, look at the photo.cmon owners you gotta be less stingy or watch over who is. This is unkind. You can get a pound of smoked good brisket for 18$ just about anywhere in Texas. read more

We went around 3 ish and only reason I gave 4 stars was because I went to refill my tea and there was non left not even unsweetened.

I have been Eating at Hinze's for as long as they have been open. In Sealy. Almost twice a week the past 2 years or so. Their food is always good quality well prepared meats, sides, and drinks. In the Classic Texas BBQ style. Try their sliced pork for something a little different than brisket. Also their pies. They always treat me well and are exceptionally nice to me. Of course, I try to be Nice to them so maybe that has something to do with it. read more

Reallllly good Mac and cheese, ribs very tasty but a little dry, green beans were nothing special. Yummy pecan pie for desert! Stopped in from out of town and was impressed. Very homey old country feel! read more

Quality has gone down as prices go up. Pork ribs tasted baked not smoked. Second time this has happened in the last two months. Very disappointed. Their BBQ meat is usually pretty good. read more

I got a three meat deluxe plate with sliced brisket, sliced pork and ribs and for dessert. I got the chocolate explosion and for the drink I got a jumbo half lemonade, half tea everything was delicious and the sauce was perfect. It was sweet and savory and chunky and everything was dippable in that delicious sauce. They had a lot of options for sides. I chose buttered carrots, which were sweet and mashed potatoes with white gravy. They had different gravy's as options as well. I did try the okra on my aunts plate, and she also had baked beans which were delicious as well. Highly recommend you order at the counter and you wait for your order number on your receipt to pick up. read more

Food was good. Ambiance was nice and service. Ribs and Bristol were delicious. Love the mac & cheese.

Not a great experience! I ordered a burger, which i was confident would be a good choice! It was not! Meat was tasteless, and very HARD! My family had equally poor experiences! One ordered fried Shrimp which was found to be tough, and cold! I just won't be going back any time soon! read more

Poor representation of Texas BBQ. EVERYTHING was bland and had more fat than meat. French fries were cold

I give Hinze's barbecue a five star every time! I love this place. Clean place, fresh food, delicious desserts, their barbecue sauce is the best has a slight lemony flavor just like the good old days. read more

If anybody want to pay five dollars for a tiny piece of pecan pie, I suggest you go to Hinze's, they love their pie so much they don't give you any of it. Lol. Anybody on a diet would love this place read more

This place is gross. Ham sandwich came with bbq sauce. Ham looks like it was microwaved. I didn't ask for sauce. Was overcharged on everything, I'm guessing because I used a credit card. No sign of surcharges. 2 meat bbq plate is 3 pieces of brisket and 2 ribs. Looks like they were boiled, no smoke ring. read more

Very good chopped beef and peanut brittle. Great black bean salad. Killer okra. Typical bbq joint inside, nothing fancy but that's cool. The kids working the register are barely capable of running a cash register. Kind of annoying. But in the end the food is worth it. read more

in there to get my food today this afternoon. Everything was really good. I was getting my food and Robert. The cashier was doing a great job, but there was a young kid that was. Was talking to Robert , was correcting him in front of me I don't think that was very appropriate. read more

Environment: Definitely has the southern charm like "Grandma's county kitchen" feel. Customer Service: There is no server. You have to walk up to the counter to order, pay and pick food up. Everyone was very kind, helpful and had a great sense of humor. I never heard of white gravy and they took their time to help me better order. Cleanliness: Can use improvements on consistently clearing off tables, floors and bathrooms. Presentation: Wall menu can use some picture Tastiness: Proportions are very large but very well worth it. We ordered briskets, ribs and sausage. Food was served on plastic plates just like you would get at an outdoor picnic. Presentation was not there but meat, mashed potatoes w/ brown gravy and green beans are amazing!!! Pies are way too sweet for my taste. Overall, I would definitely recommend coming and will come again. read more

Hinze's has a smoky, saucy little place in my heart that I've had since I was little. I grew up dining at this restaurant with my family so it's hard not to be subjective here. If you're driving through Texas along I-10, you're not from here, and you want to experience the hospitality of a small town BBQ joint, here you go. The atmosphere is exactly what you're looking for, but it does have a drive-thru if you need to skedaddle! Their BBQ sauce is my touchstone for a solid sauce and that says a lot! This paired with their smoked sausage is 10/10 EVERYTHING you'll ever want. The rest of the BBQ is NOT the best, though. Their cheeseburger is one of the best around. There are craft places around Houston that are inarguably great, and I find myself going to Hinze's anyway. It's always to order and just the way you want it. I have my boyfriend and roommate hooked and it's a must-have at least every month or so. The gals who serve you are always so cute too! Try it out! read more

3/26/24 at 5:30pm. Did not want to put a low review in hopes that the restaurant would get better but it hasn't. Lately, the last 4/5 times I have stopped by to eat their half chicken and leg quarter plate, the size of the chicken pieces have been laughably small! I will dare to say smaller than quail. To add insult, the chicken pieces have been old, dry and tasteless! They're serving us the old chicken probably because it doesn't sell as much, and they're saving the new chicken for later times. Not smart! Seems like the owner is saving bucks by purchasing small chicken but the price of the meal remains the same. Not good at all. Any good near by BBQ anyone recommends ? read more

Awesome!! Love the catfish.. service is friendly and atmosphere is all Texan We will be back

After not eating all day due to a busy travel schedule and then hitting rush hour traffic in Houston, I was eager to find a place for a nice dinner. I saw Hinze's and decided to check it out. It ended up being an excellent choice! When I went in, Preston greeted me warmly and made me feel so welcome. That was a good sign. I opted for the sliced beef brisket with sides of cooked carrots and dirty rice. Everything was incredibly flavorful! The brisket was tender with a smoky flavor. The sides were amazing as well. I noticed when I walked in that Hinze's had homemade pies. The pecan pie caught my eye. After I enjoyed my wonderful dinner, I decided to get a slice for takeaway. It made for a delicious treat when I got to my hotel two hours later. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely go back to Hinze's for the brisket. It's worth the trip! read more

Come here at least 4-5 times a month, for my work and personally service today was absolutely horrible, the elder lady was rude and didn't give me my complete order, luckily when I pulled around Misty was very sweet. She took my order and completed it. Correctly. If you (employee) are not happy Do NOT take it out on the customers. The customer can feel the negative energy. Travis Hinze hope you see this. read more

You order at the counter. They call your order number when your order is ready and you pick it up at the counter. I had the grilled fish. It was so good and a nice portions. My companion had a brisket burger but he took off the buns because it was too soggy with BarBque sauce. I brought the buns home to my dogs and they loved it! read more

We went there for a family get together. The person that took our order stated the total price and I handed her my credit card. When I got my receipt, it was several dollars higher than what she stated. It turns out they at a service charge for credit cards but don't tell you until after they run your card. I complained and the cashier didn't want to do anything, so I asked for the manager. She claimed to be the manager, but did not appear to be management material. I told her to reverse the charge on my card and I will pay cash. She said she didn't know how to do it. (I'd expect a manager to know how to do that.) I gave up and went to my seat. Later, when we got our food, four of the six orders were wrong. It turns out the person that claimed to be the manager also keyed in our orders incorrectly even though she was repeating them back to us correctly. I had quit going to Hinze's several years ago because of the lousy service, and figured after a few years things might have gotten better, but they've gotten even worse. There are reasons the locals don't eat here. The traffic on Interstate 10 is what keeps this business alive. read more

Stopped by after getting Starbucks and I was very unimpressed. Our meal took forever and when we finally got it it was cold. For a small town I assumed the fast meal would be tasty but you're better off going to a larger chain who's worked on their supply chain and proper training. read more

Friendly folks here, very welcoming. The food was excellent, smoked sausage was well above average. read more

Ok bbq - I've had much better. But I've had worse too. I had the sliced brisket. Tender but not a lot of flavor. Reminded me of bill miller's bbq brisket yet this is more tender. I bought some beef jerky and will update with a note when I've tried it. Update: the beef jerky was pretty decent - about the same as Bucees if not a bit better. read more

I have been a long-time customer of Hinze's. I picked up a to go order last night. The food was not up to Hinze's usually good standards. I decided to call back in the morning bc it was right before closing time on Mother's Day evening. I have worked in the food service industry for years and know that right before closing at night after a busy night is not the time anyone wants to talk about orders that were not up to par. I told the manager I wanted to give them a chance to make it right before I wrote a negative review. When I called this afternoon at 2:00 as not to bother them during the lunch rush,I spoke with the owner. I explained the situation and basically was told that I was a scammer and was threatening him! He had every excuse in the book as to why the food was not up to their usual standards. I was calm, did not curse, and was very polite and then to be told I was a scammer for trying to do the right thing and NOT be a Karen! Pathetic that they treat long-time customers like this!!! read more

I really like Texas BBQ! On the drive from Austin to Houston and time for lunch, Hinze's was the next exit and I'm glad we decided to stop! The decor is South Texas BBQ, laid back woodsy with accents of taxidermy on the walls. It's a very clean, organized restaurant with a good deal of choice for entrees and sides. For me, it had to be brisket and ribs. The smell of the pecan wood from the outdoor smoker permeates the building, it's as if the meat is calling you to the counter. Ribs were sweet (dry rub- sauce optional) and fall off the bone tender. A little fatty but not terrible. Brisket was good, tender and very tasty. A little of the connective tissue still present it held together when pulled apart but was tender enough that it could be fork cut. For sides, dirty rice was delicious and a very interesting mix of rice, veggies and I think a little meat. The green beans were so-so (seemed canned). On nice touch is the BBQ sauce is bubbling in a kettle on the counter and you ladle it out into small cups. I liked this sauce very much and it was on the sweeter side. In all a very good place to stop, stretch and eat some good TX BBQ on route to Houston. read more
