This is a huge restaurant with lofty ceilings. A covered patio outside, counter service, full bar, and decent sized parking lot. It was a Tuesday night and pretty empty. Self serve soft serve - chocolate only. As usual we got a bit of everything. Faves: Lasagna (surprise hit!) Meats by the pound - ribs, chicken, pork, brisket Chicken salad sandwich Wings read more

Negative. Pro tip and positive: Negative: This really isn't a negative but i should have fasted before I came. I did my research and thought the portions were small. They weren't.. the loaded potato isn't a potato but rather a potato and it's family. Parking could become an issue Pro tip: The all day menu can fill up two people Positive: Friendly staff and they're super attentive. I'd love to try their Texas sizes cinnamon roll but I fly out Sunday and have no idea what to do with that other half of Texas. Typically I prefer a dry rub but that wasn't the case with my wings - however the sauce is sooo goood! I couldn't figure out what it was initially but you sense it the second it lands Great location inside! read more

J-Bar-M Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Hoffi and Cameron If you're looking for some authentic Texas BBQ before the soccer game, this is the place! The restaurant is bright, spacious, and has a great self-serve setup. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, plus an awesome indoor/ outdoor bar to kick back and enjoy. The BBQ is outstanding, the sides are delicious, and they even have an ice cream machine to top it all off! A special shout-out to Hoffi and Cameron-you guys are awesome. Yeah buddy! * read more

Overall, a really nice BBQ spot. It doesn't have the traditional old-school Texas BBQ vibe--instead it's more modern and curated, which I actually liked. The huge covered patio has plenty of fans to keep it comfortable, a big screen for games (they had the basketball on when we visited), and the inside is spacious, clean, and has plenty of seating. The food was great. We had two pulled pork sandwiches with sides and some brisket. The meat was flavorful and lean, although it was just a little dry for my taste. The sides and BBQ sauce were excellent and definitely worth coming back for. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the service. Everyone was polite, but the overall interaction felt a bit cold and not especially welcoming. A little Southern hospitality and a smile can make a big difference in the overall experience. read more

Five stars for the Mac and Cheese Please! The absolute creamiest and most luscious concoction ever - perfected with chewy corkscrew pasta. It's witchcraft! The bbq sauces are really good - there is the traditional with a nice little heat to it and an awesome mustard based one as well. Very helpful and friendly staff behind the counter and on the floor. The brisket is Michelin rated!! So many nice things on the menu and a full bar and cute patio. The mac and cheese should have gotten the Michelin recognition, its so crazy thickkk and full of flavor and amazing!! I have got to get the recipie somehow. read more

J-Bar-M Barbecue - Brisket on Texas toast, pickles galore and the best dang mac and cheese I have ever ever had - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came here after fifa fan fest since we parked right next to it. Functions as any bbq joint but it's feels like a restaurant with a bar and stuff. The decor is really matches the vibes. Plenty of large TVs. I will say my stand out was the jalapeno cheddar sausage. Might be my favorite in Houston. It actually has a kick to it and the cheese was melty and wasn't overly salty. The smash burger is a hard pass. Was kind of a mess, I couldn't even really taste the beef patty. The chicken sandwich was excellent and refreshing after being under the Texas sun for hours. Fries and onion rings were crispy. Ribs fell off the bone. Sides were as expected and not bland. I think the ice cream is free if you eat there bc I didn't see it on menu. I didn't have any so I can't confirm. But also last note, was obsessed with both the bbq and the mustard bbq sauces. Will def be back if I'm around Eado. Update: went back to try more. The pulled pork was really dry. They ran out of and gave us brisket for the salad instead but it was so dry nobody ate the salad. The chicken sandwich still excellent. The enchiladas was bland but everything was juicy. The lasagne was as expected. The wings were packed with flavor. All the dried meats were disappointing this time. The jalapeños cheddar sausage was still my favorite. read more

Walked in and went right into the line. It's like a typical bbq place cafeteria style set up where you pick all your items so you can put on your tray and go. All the meats were cooked perfectly. The meats were cooked perfectly all hot and fresh. There was about 6 or so sides to choose from with desserts and ice cold drinks. There is a nice setup of self serve fountain drinks, teas, and of course BBQ Sauces and condiments right next to where you order. The inside has plenty of tables but if not you can also sit outside under a covered patio that also has a bar. I like that there are TVs visible from everywhere so it makes this a good place for game day. I will be back for more! read more

I'm not a huge meat eater, so I'm not their ideal customer. But with protein intake being on everyone's minds these days, I've turned to some local barbecue spots to fill up on chicken and turkey (damn, I miss brisket but I just can't bring myself to eat those gentle giants). My beau loves it here and can and will order everything off their menu. He's yet to veer into their creative dishes (like brisket lasagna) and tends to stick with meat plates and sides. I like the barbecue, but I'm more of a sides gal. But a lot of their sides have pork in it (another thing I don't eat). The staff is good about informing me what's pork or lard-free. Leave me limited to chicken, turkey... and adult drinks! Not gonna hate on that. I'll take some smoked turkey with a side of pinot please. They have a great brunch that goes til 3pm--place should be more packed than it usually is, especially with all that free parking, an outdoor area with occasional live music, TVs, kid- and dog-friendly environment. It's a great event space; they also have some private and enclosed dining rooms with boardroom-country vibes. read more

J Bar M BBQ has been killing it. They were featured in the Michelin Bib Gourmand Guide. They also made the honorable mention list for the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joints in Texas. The food here is incredible. I love the fatty brisket. I enjoyed the burnt ends. The sausage was really good as well. They've also got this giant-sized cinnamon roll, and at the end of your meal, they give you free soft-serve ice cream as well. It's a beautiful-looking building. Great lighting that comes inside. The service is ultra-friendly as well. A recommendation if you want a more upscale barbecue experience. read more

Just going to be honest. I did not like anything at this place. The food was not good. Everything about it was mediocre. We got a 4 meat plate so we could try multiple things: brisket, sausage, chicken, and ribs. We also got an order of smoked wings. We tried the Mac n cheese, Brussel sprouts, beans and corn. And I hate to say it but it was all a waste. There's wasn't much flavor besides pepper. The service wasn't that great either. There was a guy behind the counter that was so rude that I almost left the line because of him. Honestly, when there's never a line out the door for the bbq it's a sign. I won't be coming back here unfortunately. I really wanted to like this place read more

Ordered jalapeño cheese sausage and fatty brisket with potato salad and green beans. Sausage was really flavorful but a bit dry. The same can be said for the fatty brisket. Definitely does not compare to pinkertons. Service was great. Was asked twice how things were going and greeted by the owner walking in. Overall, I enjoyed the space. Lots of room for customers and a doggy park outside. read more

A recent obsession of mine is BBQ. It has always been a Texas thing, but in recent years with Texas finally getting covered by the Michelin Guide, we are getting more exposure to some great places in the state. This place just happens to be a part of the 2025 Michelin Guide. J-Bar-M is relatively new on the scene so I was more than excited to check this spot out with some fellow BBQ junkies like myself. The restaurant is located in EaDo but have a decent sized parking lot with free parking. If you come at peak times, you may have to pay for street parking around the area. We came at opening on a Saturday so parking was plentiful and we were the first folks in the door. We were hoping to take advantage of the last beautiful weather weekend before the heat hits, but the NCAA Sweet 16 was taking place in Houston and Iowa fans rented the patio out. All good! Atleast they still had a dog in the fight. The outside and inside spaces of this place is beautiful. It's definitely the fanciest BBQ joint I've been to. They have a big space inside as well as the patio and other smaller areas available to rent out as well. They have a full service bar inside and outside. They do counter service here. We were early so there was no line, but as the day went on, the line grew bigger and the dining areas inside and out got packed. Customer service was ok, nothing to write home about. Staff behind the counter was inattentive and I had to ask for things multiple times. I've been spoiled at recent BBQ places I've visited where customer service was top notch. We came in a group of 8. Usually four of us order together and get a variety of things since most places don't offer plates. Well this place does so we went with individual orders. I went with a three meat plate with brisket, jalapeno cheddar sausage and pork ribs. It came with two sides so I went with jambalaya rice and mac and cheese. I found it odd that online nor on their menu at the restaurant you can not find their side offerings. When you get to that part of the line, then you can pick from what you see. I like to go in with a game plan so points taken off for that. Our whole table got a variety of things so I did get to try quite a bit of their menu. Lets start with the meat. I asked for lean and moist brisket. The lean was a bit dry. The moist was perfect. They seasoned their meat well in everything I tried. The sausage was one of the better sausages I've had in awhile. The sides were ok. The rice was my favorite among all the sides I tried. Their brussels sprouts had alot of potential but it need a little more time on the cook. Crispy would have made it top notch. I will say, in all the foods I tried, I do wish the temps were a little hotter. Everything was a little on the lukewarm side. I saw bread pudding on the menu and a general rule of mine is never say no to bread pudding if it's on a menu. I do wish they brought it out later in the meal just so it would have been a little warmer, but it was still a very good bread pudding. We also tried the cinnamon roll and banana pudding. They do desserts well here. The first thing I saw when I pulled up was a sign showing their drink specials. I wasn't planning on drinking but I couldn't pass up a $5 margarita either. It was a little saltier than I like, but still good for the price paid. Overall, J-Bar-M is a solid place. I like the fact that they are smack dab in the middle of the city, easily accessible with a great parking situation, plenty of space to entertain and long hours. They also have brunch on the weekends with bottomless mimosa deals that I would love to come check out. I will definitely be back. read more

First let me say that the people are really nice and the service was pretty good. However, the food just didn't hit the spot. I had the brisket which was very fatty, the pork ribs which were ok but lacked flavor and the jalapeño/cheddar sausage which was very good. The sides were pretty bland also. I had the rice with beans on top and the brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were ok.. but the rice with beans needed some seasoning. Idk, there were a lot of people at this place that really looked like they were enjoying their food so maybe it was just an off day for me. read more

J-Bar-M Barbecue - The bbq sauce and the mustard were very tasty. - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food was outstanding, and on a nice weather day in Houston (mid 70s), sitting outside on the patio to watch a football game was perfect. I had the three meat platter with spicy cheddar sausage, turkey, and ribs. Everything was great. I had asked for mild sausage, but I don't think he heard me and didn't realize I had the spicy until I was seated outside. As it ended up, as long as I took a bite of mac & cheese with each bite of sausage, it was fine. The turkey was smoky and tender, and the ribs were amazing - no sauce needed, because the rub stood alone. Besides the Mac & cheese I had the cauliflower au gratin, and it was perfect. The bartender, Aran, makes a perfect Manhattan. It was a lovely day. We look forward to coming back next time we're in town visiting family, as we do often. read more

First let me say my taste buds comes a place of a little place in Sequin called Burnt Bean or Austin la Barbecue or Terry Black. Now overall we were disappointed. Food: Brisket not competition quality (bend and easy tear apart). My brisket had a great smoke ring and flavor but I needed my fork to cut (really disappointed). My corn was good with a little kick but with like 3 forks left I found looks like an eyelash in the corn. I reported it to the front cashier and a taller guy and they gave me a new corn ( I didn't eat why because it came from the same batch as my original corn). Pinto beans were basic no added ingredients (ie brisket). Chicken was dry in itself but better with BBQ sauce. Jalapeño cheese sausage was pretty good but not allota juice once you bite. Potato salad again good but we didn't get excited. Lastly we in Texas right? Our plates didn't come with Texas toast nor pickles. Overall room for improvements. Service: This was our second time. Have not been smothered in a while. We were kinda not sure but the guy slicing the meats was not the nicest. Was really pushy and impatient. Not did he at least say your first time here etc or suggestion. Front line person did come and pick up my hair corn container and apologized. Ambiance: Awesomeness! How can you not when Santa is getting a drink. The Texas game playing inside and out. The decor is Texas BBQ. Totally love the murals bd we did eventually find parking on the back side (car show) Overall not sure if we will come back ( maybe 1 more time) For the price did not meet the quality of food of what we know to be true Texas BBQ. Definitely room for improvement. If I had to refer I would have a hard time, but I do like people to judge themselves. This is just my experience this day. read more

Worth it for the price point. The vibes are it- I loved the outdoor patio/shed! We came on a weekday night so it wasn't busy at all, but I got the 4 meat platter which was $33 (?) and it's definitely more than enough for two people. My favorites were the pork ribs, which were tender and fell right off the bone, and the brisket which was juicy and not too fatty. The turkey was also juicy and awesome! I thought the sides were also delicious. read more

I think their Michelin rating is overly generous (as is my 5 star rating, but 4 wouldn't be fair either), but this is still a solid BBQ spot. It's conveniently located right near downtown. It's fairly priced (all BBQ is expensive nowadays) and everything is tasty. Is it the best brisket in Houston? Probably not, but it's still good. Their chicken did really standout though. The sides are good too, just not super memorable. I appreciate that there's not a super long line (at least when I've gone), they have great indoor and outdoor dining areas, a nice bar, and even a mini dog park. As a local food snob, I have only good things to say about this place, but I also can't claim it's the best BBQ, but that's ok. read more

Houston has no shortage of BBQ spots, so when a place stands out, you know they're doing something right. J&M BBQ delivered a proper Texas spread that checked all the boxes for a serious meat lover. We went all in with the brisket, turkey, sausage, and ribs, and honestly there wasn't a weak link on the tray. The brisket had that beautiful bark with a smoky aroma that hits you before the first bite--tender, juicy, and exactly what you hope for when ordering Texas brisket. The turkey was surprisingly flavorful and moist (a lot of places miss the mark on turkey, but not here). The sausage brought a great snap with a peppery kick, and the ribs were perfectly cooked with just the right pull from the bone. The street corn side deserves its own shout-out. Creamy, slightly smoky, and loaded with flavor--basically the side dish you keep going back for between bites of brisket. They also offer two house BBQ sauces, each bringing something different to the table. One leans a little sweeter and balanced, while the other brings more tang and punch. Mixing and matching them with the different meats makes the whole tray even better. If you're in Houston and chasing great BBQ, J&M BBQ is definitely worth pulling over for. Solid meats, great sides, and the kind of spot that makes you feel like you found a local gem. read more

Michelin Stars in Houston?? Nice! Added to the list of Michelin Star so I had to go and try it. It was good. Better than Rudy's. The BBQ sauce was spicy and I did not like the brussel sprouts.

I enjoyed my visit and would definitely return to sit outside and enjoy the weather, though this isn't the best BBQ I've had. The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating, great views, a DJ, a dance floor, and a TV outside. There's even cornhole, making it a fun spot to hang out. The drinks at the bar were strong and delicious -- a real highlight. The food was good overall, though it fell a bit short of my expectations given the online buzz and Michelin review. The sides definitely stole the show. The Brussels sprouts, corn, and mac & cheese were all delicious, and the potato salad looked amazing -- it's hard to pick from their variety of sides. The brisket lasagna was also really good. I didn't try dessert this time, but the bread pudding looked fantastic -- I'll be back for it, along with other kitchen items like their Tex-Mex dishes rather than just the BBQ. The smoked turkey was moist and well-seasoned, but the brisket was quite salty and a bit dry. The BBQ sauce didn't work for me -- oddly smoky with sweetness added afterward, not the sweet BBQ flavor I usually enjoy. read more

I don't hand out 1 star reviews lightly, but with my experience, J-Bar-M more than earned it. I arrived around 1:45pm to a restaurant that was nearly empty. Already we're off to a bad start. As I walk up to the ordering counter, a large party is exiting a private side room. I must have gotten lost in the shuffle, because as I let people pass, I see all the workers leave to go behind the kitchen. I'm not sure if it was a staff meeting or shift change, but I can't find anyone to help me. I wait about 3-5 minutes before a young man pops his head around the corner and apologizes for keeping me waiting. I order a couple of ribs and the fatty brisket tacos (hoping for anything in the same universe as the now closed Valentina's), with sides of cream corn, Mac n cheese, and charro beans. The ribs actually tasted decent, slightly sweet with a good pull and texture, except they were cold. I'm talking not even lukewarm. And just like Luke, these babies also could have used a tauntaun to warm them up. Things only went downhill from there. The Mac n cheese was nothing to write home about and the cream corn was bland. After a few minutes, the brisket tacos were delivered to my table. By now I'm barreling down a double black diamond. The brisket is dry, tough, and most sinfully, flavorless. How flavorless? Well, I can't taste the brisket over the tortilla, which also doesn't taste great. How does a tortilla over power the flavor of smoked brisket?? Finally, I attempted to change it up for my taste buds by trying the charro beans. This was a fine test for my gag reflex as the beans were rancid/burned and I nearly spit them out. How this place ended up on Michelin's radar is beyond me. J Bar M was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had, Bar None read more

Too pricey $25 for one meat plate. Service was fast food is good but not for this price

Came with my husband for lunch and was excited to see they served brunch as well! The building did have limited parking, we think they may have been having a private event later that day. The restaurant itself is beautiful on the inside, its a large open building with very clean decor. They have indoor and outdoor seating perfect for a date or taking a large group. The staff was super friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly if you are ordering food that does not come right off the bbq line. My husband really enjoyed the brisket, cheddar jalapeño sausage, Mac n cheese and corn. He said the sausage had a great spicy kick and the corn had lots of flavor. The brisket chilaquiles was DELICIOUS! The salsa verde was rich and flavorful and the chips were fresh and crispy. We look forward to coming back to try more of the menu. read more

Their only option left were brisket, chicken and pulled pork. So I got the brisket and chicken. Everything was bursting with flavors. It was a great evening our team will never forget. read more

We went on a weekday during lunchtime. No wait. Staff was super friendly. Special shout out to the awesome staff member who gave my kids $1 each in celebration of the lunar new year! Yeah! It set a great tone for our visit. We ordered the lean brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork and turkey. The brisket had a good bark and was well seasoned. My wife thought it was a bit dry but it seemed fine to me. The turkey was quite good (moist and flavorful) and the pulled pork was solid. The star, we all agreed, was the pork ribs. No sauce, just rub, and it was great. Really tender but not overcooked. They also offer a variety of BBQ sauces if you want them. Really nice and spacious inside with outdoor seating available and a number of TVs. There's also a pretty cool wall of fame with various local celebrities and Houston and Texas sports legends. There are so many great BBQ spots in Houston but I wouldn't hesitate to come back if in the area. read more

J-Bar-M Barbecue - BBQ Platter. - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

We were craving barbecue but wanted a spot with plenty of seating space so we wouldn't be on top of everyone else. This place was perfect! The indoor and outdoor seating is super spacious, and the food was on point! We got the four meat platter with brisket, pulled pork, jalapeño cheddar sausage, and pork ribs. For sides, we got the Mac and cheese, jambalaya, and collards. The Mac and cheese and pulled pork were by far our favorite. The brisket unfortunately didn't taste the freshest and was a little dry, but the barbecue sauce was perfect and helped keep everything nice and moist. We also got the chopped beef sandwich, and this was AWESOME. Next time, we'll probably opt for the chopped beef sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich with sides of Mac and cheese. And, their little dog patio was so cute, so we'll plan to bring our pup next time too! read more

Amazing bbq. The brisket and ribs were tender enough to cut with a plastic knife. Even the next day. The sauce on the side was tasty and the brussel sprouts were 10/10. The Mac and cheese was a little bland but everything else was really good. Customer service was a little lacking. Ordered a drink before I went to get food and it hadn't even been started after 10 minutes of standing in line for food. The customer service at the bar and so/so mac n cheese are the reasons I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Still, I would definitely come back if in the area. read more

Went with my dad one weekday after the rush. I ordered a pulled pork and he went for brisket quesadillas. Service was friendly but really slow. We were getting our food to go and my sandwhich was packed first and sat to get cold while they made the quesadilla...which took kind of a long time for something that seems simple enough. The bbq sauce is verrrrry watery but the flavor isn't bad. The quesadilla came with rice and I have to be honest. The rice was gross. It tasted hours old and like it came from a box. It was disappointing. I think maybe we should have eaten there, taking food to go is risky as it can get cold quickly. But, I don't think we'll be back. read more

J-Bar-M Barbecue - Loaded baked potato with chopped brisket, chopped brisket sandwich, mac, jalapeño cheese sausage and elote. - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Since making their way into the EaDo scene a little less than 3 years ago, J-Bar-M might not get the same recognition as other big name BBQ spots, but I still think they stand out for a number of reasons. The Central Texas-style BBQ is fairly good, but the venue itself is even better. For starters, that patio is gold. It's large enough to have quality entertainment every night and an ideal destination for heaps of people looking to dine together as a group. The interior feels like a modern barn with a nice bar with TVs, plenty of seating, solid decor and an abundance of natural light. The bathrooms are pretty clean as well. While I vouch for the diehard BBQ heads, I can say that I have always enjoyed a majority of what I've sampled here. The pulled pork was tender, the smoked turkey breast is very moist, and the brisket is nice and fatty. The jalapeño sausage was juicy and not overly cheesy and the chicken is fairly underrated. I still need to try their tomahawk and barbacoa special. The baked potato with brisket is definitely indulgent and the Mac and cheese is definitely rich. I think the cauliflower au gratin is surprisingly good, along with their hand cut fries. I also enjoy the fact they offer Mexican rice and charro beans as well. Service has been spotty at times, which has been their pseudo pitfall. The young staff is not always on top of it, but the potential for greatness is definitely there. I still see myself coming back and bringing more people to enjoy live music and meats galore. read more
