It actually was very light considering it was all pork. Their side dishes were so refreshing and tasty, specifically their cucumber one.

Overall, the ambience was nice, not too loud, the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was good. Will come back to try the rest of their menu. 10/10 would recommend

All of the meats we tried were really good quality, but the Jeju black pork (the "Wagyu" of pork) was definitely the standout for me! I'm also a huge banchan person, and the banchan here did not disappoint! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the soups were really good too. Another plus is that they cook the meat for you, so you can actually sit back, enjoy your meal, and talk instead of constantly keeping an eye on the grill. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and can feel pretty crowded, especially when it's busy. Table space is also limited, and the stool seating is not exactly great for back support lol. Combined with the long wait, I probably wouldn't come here if I was in a rush or looking for a super comfortable, leisurely dinner, but rather for special occasions! I'd definitely come back but just be prepared for a potentially long wait!

It was a hot day, and I don't think their A/C was working. The restaurant was hot and humid, and I genuinely felt bad for everyone working there. They were all smiles, so maybe they mind the heat less than I do. I would not have been all smiles. The menu has all the usual BBQ favorites. I went with the brisket, mac and cheese, and okra, then followed it up with a corn muffin. It was good. I love brisket. But I didn't find it better or worse than any of the other BBQ places I've tried, and in Texas that's a crowded field. The owner came by the table a few times. Nice guy. How did I know he was the owner? Because his face is plastered everywhere. They appear to hand out coloring book pages of his head, which customers then color in and post all over the walls. Charming or mildly unsettling? I genuinely cannot decide. I'm leaning charming. Ask me again on a cooler day. Food was good. Atmosphere, eh. If I'm in the area again and want BBQ, I'd drop in. I'm not going to seek it out, though.

Here's a cleaned-up version that keeps your personality and food-review voice:…read more Cattleack BBQ DID NOT disappoint. Right now, on my highly curated list of the 25 best BBQ spots in all of Texas, Cattleack sits at #12--so obviously I had to try it, especially because it's literally down the street from my new place. I knew how that line could get, so I pulled up at 10:05 AM . Basically had BBQ for breakfast. And since I plan on hitting ALL 25 spots on my list, I made sure I tasted a little bit of everything so I could give it a proper review. First test: THE RIBS. I'm from St. Louis. Ribs are always going to be one of my first tests of whether somebody can really throw down on the BBQ pit. I got a whole pound, and they were GREAT. Passed the test. Then came the Toddfather sandwich... WHEWWWW. Brisket, smoked sausage AND pulled pork all on one sandwich. My God. So good. To finish off the meat test, I got one big piece of fatty brisket. Excellent. Exactly what I wanted. Now the sides... The mac & cheese was surprisingly GOOD. And if you know Texas BBQ, you know finding a BBQ spot with mac & cheese that can actually hold its own isn't always easy. The burnt-end baked beans had a great smoky flavor, but there were almost TOO many burnt ends in them . I was like damn, can I get some beans too?! Still good though. And finally, the banana pudding? FIRE. It was like a fancy version because it had a toffee flavor to it. Cattleack absolutely delivered. Love the vibes inside and out. This is officially a Ken's Approved Restaurant and earns the KenStar of Approval. 12 down... the journey through Texas BBQ continues.

Everything we ordered was tender, moist, incredibly flavorful, and clearly made with a lot of care. It's not cheap--we spent about $77--but after eating it, I will say it was worth the price. The pastrami brisket was the standout for me. Perfectly seasoned, ridiculously tender, and packed with flavor. The burnt end beans were another must-order--smoky, rich, and loaded with pieces of meat. The beef cheek with chimichurri was also incredible; melt-in-your-mouth tender, with the chimichurri adding the perfect freshness to cut through the richness. Honestly, though, there wasn't a bad thing on the tray. Everything was delicious, from the meats to the sides. You can taste the quality and the time that goes into the food. $77 well spent. Cattleack is absolutely worth the stop, and I'd come back just for that pastrami brisket.

I wanted to try everything on the menu but ended up getting the Wagyu brisket, ribs, Mac & cheese, beef tallow fries, empanada. Everything was 10/10 and I recommend trying all of these menu items. For the sides definitely try the fries & Mac n cheese. The Wagyu brisket was so tender and the ribs melted right off the bone. They also have specialty drinks. The blueberry one was delicious. A lot of restaurants don't get the fizziness of drinks right but Kafi scored a 10 across the board.

The only downside is that it gets pretty crowded, especially during peak hours, so I recommend finding a seat as soon as you get there.
