    Third trip definitely a charm! I've driven to this to establishment once to find it closed. I found it open on the second trip, but they were out of barbecue. I had almost given up on them but called ahead today and placed an order for a 2 meat (brisket/rib plate. Outstanding BBQ and what seemed like homemade sides. I was full when finished. My two requirements! Will definitely be back!

    I started eating here a couple months back and love this place. I eat a lot of bbq and am particular about my brisket and sides. I personally like moist brisket with lots of bark and flavor and kildeers does not disappoint! I now eat lunch here every Friday and go for the brisket and jalapeño cheese sausage with Mac n cheese and potato salad. The potato salad is like nothing I've ever tasted before it is so good. The staff is super friendly and the environment is relaxed.

    Super fatty brisket

    Ok, this was extremely disappointing. We ordered and paid for extra lean brisket on a baked potato and a 3 meat plate. Never ever in my life have I seen brisket served this fatty. It was completely in edible and honestly disgusting. To top it off the almost delicious beans were completely underdone. It had such great flavor and could have been excellent. Pulled pork was good as well as the sausage and potato salad. I do smoke my own meat and known for a fantastic smoked brisket, so I know what I am talking about. I was super excited to try someone else cooking so I can take a break. Guys! Please don't serve brisket like this again it is a tragedy.

    Brisket here was perfect. Gotta get the mac and cheese if you come here! Also the chicken was perfectly moist and far from dry.

    As a Texas Monthly Top 100 BBQ award and a Michelin award winner located in Old Town Tomball, and…read moreit's clear why this spot, with its charming indoor and outdoor dining areas, has been recognized. While it has moved from its previous Top 50 ranking, the food remains a great experience. The brisket was deliciously smoked, though I found the bark to be a little too salty for my taste. Despite that, the meat itself was fantastic. The ribs were hearty and very tender, and the pork belly had a nice flavor, but was a little on the dry side. The pork belly burnt ends were a unique treat. They were covered in a spicy barbecue sauce, which was a pleasant surprise since I usually prefer a fruity base like peach or apricot. The absolute standout was the sausage. It was a perfectly cooked, double-grind sausage with a delicious chili relleno taste. It was cheesy and had an excellent flavor that made it one of my favorite sausage offerings to date. For the sides, the carrot soufflé was a highlight. It was delicious with a smooth texture and only a hint of carrot, making it an excellent and unique side. To top it all off, there's a chocolate shoppe attached to the restaurant, so a chocolate dessert is an absolute must after your meal. I highly recommend this quaint restaurant for a truly enjoyable barbecue experience.

    I'll admit it--I wrote this place off years ago. Back then, I thought Tejas Chocolate Craftory was…read moreoverpriced and just mediocre BBQ. Boy, was I wrong. Went back about two weeks ago on a whim and I've already been back twice since. The BBQ is legitimately exceptional now. The burnt ends are amazing--tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. The cheesesteak is awesome, the turkey is surprisingly moist and tasty, and the overall quality is way higher than I remembered. A couple small notes: the poblano sausage was a bit too cheesy for my taste, and the mac and cheese has crushed tortilla chips on top that feel unnecessary (though the base is still solid). Must-orders: Get the chicharrones and queso and ask for a side of Tajín to sprinkle on top--it takes it to another level. The jalapeños at the condiment station are pure fire and delicious. They also have a full bar, so chilling with a cold beer and some top-notch BBQ is the move. The chocolate truffles at the counter are fantastic--you really can't go wrong with any of them. They also have specials if you order four or more items, which is a nice touch. Plenty of seating inside or outside, and there's ample parking right across the street. If you haven't been in a while (or ever), do yourself a favor and give them another shot. I'm glad I did. Solid 4 stars.

    2nd time trying this location. I tried it many years ago before being on Yelp. But decided to try…read moreas I was in the area and wanted a brisket sandwich. Walked in Sunday 5:30pm place was empty I was a little shocked and while there eating only 3-4 more customers came in. 1 couple and 1 guy had a to go order and 1 more couple walked in while I was leaving. I ordered the sliced beef sandwich $13.95 and I got 2 sides, veggies (broccoli and carrots) and Mac & cheese and a drink total was $23.85 BBQ has gotten costly since 2021 and hasn't come down. I still get sticker shock! Yes I could have ordered just the sandwich and it would have been enough as they did not skimp on amount of brisket (see pic) and it was on a fresh and large bun...the brisket was really tender and juicy and tasted good. I was impressed. I added onions and pickle and they had a fresh Serrano pepper on the condiment station... Over all the place has the typical BBQ decor and some stuffed animals and other decor on the walls. Staff were welcoming and friendly and answered my questions. The condiment station was half full on items and appeared in need of restocking as it looked like they hadn't restocked or cleaned since lunch rush. But there was plenty of onions and pickles so no big deal but they don't close until 9pm so you would think they would clean and stock/prep for the 5-9 rush but maybe they are slow on Sunday after 5pm so they don't restock that late in the day. Plenty of parking and tables and seats and separate room so you can find a seat you prefer. Place was over all clean and I did wash my hands and the bathroom seemed pretty clean except for trash can was full and in need of emptying. Over all good experience and I will return next time I am in Tomball.

    We are new to the area and were hungry, so we stopped into Harris County Smokehouse after just…read morefinding it on the fly. It reminded me a lot of Rudy's, cafeteria style line, pick your meats, grab your sides, sit down and eat. Unfortunately, we probably should have kept driving. I take barbecue seriously. I smoke at home and I know good smoked meat. The brisket was dry. Not just lean, but dry. The ribs were okay, but ribs are hard to completely mess up. The chicken looked a little undercooked, which is never a good sign. The potato salad tasted like something you grab from a grocery store deli case. The mac and cheese was very basic. The spinach was good, but let's be honest, it is not that hard to make decent spinach. The pecan pie was probably the best thing we had. Their barbecue sauce was very runny and did not really add anything special. If I am being honest, the toppings bar with onions, pickles, and extras was the highlight. My wife pretty much filled up on pickles. I could keep going, but I will just say this. If you really appreciate good barbecue, this may not be your spot. If you just want something quick and do not care too much about depth of flavor, it might work for you. For us, it was a no. Sorry, but no bueno.
