Lone Star Barbecue is hands down the best BBQ I've ever had. The brisket was juicy and perfectly smoked, the ribs fell off the bone, and every bite was full of flavor. The service was amazing and fast. You can tell they take real pride in their food. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out. 10/10 The service was amazing and fast read more

Amazing chopped brisket sandwich. Great bbq sauce and that's saying a lot being from Alabama! Probably hands down the best collard greens I have ever had, so good I even drank the pot liquor! High recommend. Pit master and staff so friendly !! read more

Lonestar Sausage & BBQ - Bbq Chopped Brisket Sandwich, Collard Greens ( single serving) - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Got lean brisket, hot link, Cajun link, dirty rice, Mac and green beans. Although they're known for their sausage, don't overlook the brisket -- it's the best I've ever had (I'm from Kentucky, but I've had plenty from all over). BBQ sauce was really good, coated everything with a perfect sweetness and tang. Sides could have all been their own stars. No bad notes. The people were great as well. read more

Lonestar Sausage & BBQ - The Big Texan Brisket Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Our first stop after touching down in Houston. Was our first taste of southern hospitality. The guy working the front was super nice and had some good suggestions. He talked us into getting more food and good thing he did because we ate it all. Got the creole sausage, brisket, pork ribs, baked beans, collard greens, and Mac and cheese. Everything was so good especially the brisket! read more

Update: Today, I wanted to go back and experience the delicious BBQ I received from Lonestar Sausage and BBQ, but I was highly disappointed. The brisket did not look or taste like it did the first time I had it. The brisket was watery and highly unflavored and some pieces tough to be the fatty portion I asked for. I mean it had no flavor to the point I had to season it at home. The sausage was good, flavorful, but I am highly disappointed in the brisket served by Lonestar Sausage & BBQ today. Not sure if the establishment had a bad day, ran out of food, or what the issue was...however, what I do know is the key with restaurants they must be consistent. When they're not--it is a let down to customers. Also, I ordered a brisket sandwich and the chunks you see in the plate are from the sandwich. Most of the time, the brisket on most brisket sandwiches are sliced not cut in chunks, so I am not sure if they ran out of the prime portions of the meat, but I felt like today I got a bunch of leftovers. Lastly, for the price of the sandwich dinner please give your customers brand named chips instead of Great Value. That says a lot about not providinging quality products to the customers and just buying what is cheap and convenient. I still recommend this establishment, but my advice is to be more consistent in the future. read more

Plenty of food given on all plates! Flavor is very bland IMO... Brisket is very tender but lacks flavor. I mean nothing but moist, tender meat... Mac n cheese.. no! Again no flavor at all... Dirty rice was ok and ribs were tender as well. Although you get plenty of food, it doesn't come with much flavor. Very nice staff. Clean environment. I recommend you trying for yourself! There was only 1 person doing everything today, so maybe that was a contributor.... ‍‍‍ This is in no way putting down the restaurant nor staff.... JMO on what I experienced on my visit. read more

Lonestar Sausage & BBQ - BBQ 4 Meat plate. - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Not many places treat you like you are family, but Lonestar Sausage and BBQ not only has great food but the kindest of people working there. I got a baked potato with brisket and chicken and my husband got a two meat plate with sausage, sliced brisket, potato salad and macaroni n cheese. Everything was delicous! The chicken had a great smoky flavor and the brisket was a perfect mix of the lean and fatty parts. My husband enjoyed the spicy kick in the sausage and macaroni n cheese. The owner was so nice, came and talked with us for a little while and offered some jalapeños fresh from his garden. Looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu! read more

If I could zero stars I would. The ribs and sausage were greasy,salty and obviously boiled and not grill on a pit. The beans and potato salad were bland.. Stay away from this place.. worst bbq in Houston read more

Finally! Wait, need more emphasis cause this is serious. FINALLY! After over 30 years living in Houston and searching from one side of town to the other. Traveling to Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, El Paso, Galveston and even Pearland; I have finally found some good BBQ at a restaurant in Texas. Good enough to write home about? Heck yeah I'm doing it! This is happening! Let's be clear here. I've been convinced that the only way you can achieve eating really good Q in Texas is to make it yourself or have a friend who can cook it themselves, in their own back yard, on a real pit, with real wood, and real charcoal. No pellets, no propane but real down home BBQ. Ladies and gentlemen I finally have discovered the perfect little hole in the wall spot with real down home BBQ that literally puts to shame every single well known famous restaurant that has been bragged about and honored with blue ribbons and crap for years in Houston. This little gem of a place has so much passion in their Q that they make all of their sausages homemade. No fake chemicals and processing are in these babies. Hands down the very best sausages I've ever had in any restaurant in all of Texas. The sausages alone are worth the drive to this place. Those sausages I tried were so freaking good that I forgot to take a picture of them. I was at an Awe. The ribs were very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Same as the chicken. The term YUM is an understatement. As for the Brisket, I can't really judge that one for you as I am honestly not a brisket kind of guy. I like me some ribs and I like me some sausages and some good ole BBQ chicken. I tried the brisket and I honestly wasn't that impressed but remember, I don't do brisket much unless it's chopped beef and I wasn't in the mood at the time for a sandwich. Now back to finally. I BBQ myself and there are times where you just don't want to cook for yourself and wish there was a place you can depend on to satisfy the Q urge. It's been impossible to find that anywhere in Houston without some huge disappointment. Massive disappointment. Expensive disappointment. Lonestar Sausage and BBQ did not disappoint. The owner Kevin Mason greeted us with a smile and was very generous to even offer us some tasters that immediately encouraged me to place a big order to take some home for the evening. Dayum those sausages are freaking gud!!! Keep Q'ing and Prosper! read more

The food was so good I didn't get to take a picture of it! Mr. Kevin does a phenomenal job at providing excellent customer service and delicious food!! I had the two meat plate (brisket and ribs), baked beans and potato salad and an extra side of his swamp sausage (handmade sausage with pork and beef). Everything was delicious - don't forget to ask for the family BBQ sauce. You won't be disappointed. What's crazy, I've driven by this little shop numerous of times and never noticed it until a good friend of mine, Mr. Gunn, invited me. I will be returning since the ambiance is welcoming, food is delicious, and Mr. Kevin made me feel like family. 10/10 recommend! read more

I had no idea about this little gem spot until I saw it on an episode of Localish a year or so ago. I finally decided that yesterday afternoon was the day for my first visit to Lonestar Sausage & Bbq. It was for sure a long ride, like 45 minutes or more. However, it was worth it ! I ordered the Lean Brisket & Sausage Plate with mac n cheese and collard greens for the sides. I then got a slice of that Yellow Cake with Fudge Frosting after the meal. Everything was really delicious, juicy, tender and made with pure love. The brisket was imo one of the 3 best brisket I have ever had right after # 1 nationally ranked Franklin Bbq in Austin. It was really well-seasoned and salted perfectly. It was really tender with an ideal amount of fat to beef ratio. The bark was very good as well as the meat's thickness. The solid smokiness with a hint of very subtle sweetness packed a good punch as good TX Bbq should. It was on the flat side as I tend to prefer for this cut, but definitely not dry or too lean by any means. The sausage was also one of the best I have ever had with a fatty, well-spiced flavor to it. It wasn't slimy though. It had that nice crunch on the outside layers contrasting the mushier inside. You could really tell it was handmade and not store-bought or full of unknown chemicals. The mac n cheese was very fluffy despite looking rich. It had a sour cream profile with some peppery notes I think. It was unique in a way and definitely appreciated as a side imo. I am a fan of collard greens in general and these were basic and yet very good with a moist texture and sourish, earthy taste containing some sausage in it too. I am open to trying more sides here, but these two are going to heavily be considered when I return due to enjoying them very much. The bbq sauce was clearly handmade with a runny texture and great balance of sweetness and tartness. Both meats on my tray honestly did not even need any sauce, but a little on some bites is extra fun when consuming bbq. That yellow cake with fudge was really good, buttery, soft, moist, crumbly and fresh with a really good chocolaty icing layer. Both parts of the cake were very tasty and I had to save some for my dad, bc he grew up on this cake up North. It had that taste n feel like one made by an older family member for decades. Classic, retro, so comforting and sweet. It's also one of my favorite cakes along with a dark chocolate midnight cake. Yellow cake is seemingly uncommon and it's a very flavorful one. As for the service. The guy at the window who took my order was very welcoming, helpful and polite. The owner who's also a former Houston Cougar football player from the late 80s and retired cop was very engaging, really friendly, really kind and so attentive to his guests. You can really tell he's a true people person with excellent bbq skills to go with it. I plan to make a trip to this place once a year when I can. read more

This place lacks adequate AC for dine in orders. You have to pay cash for homemade desserts. Interesting?? The lack of AC really affects the attitude of the employees. Bread cost extra wow! This is a BBQ place correct. Now to be fair I am not sure what they ordered so maybe bread is extra. We opened our to go containers before we left as instructed. The food looked wonderful. Well, the catfish dinners were scrumptious. The fried Boudin egg rolls were exceptionally awesome. I ordered the 3 meat plate which came with two sides and bread. I ordered brisket, sausage, ribs, beans and potato salad, the food was very tasty, and the bbq sauce was very good. I would not consider this a place for dine in, but take was efficient and well managed. Please fix your AC!!! read more

Well, I finally got some old fashion smoked links from here. I warmed them in a 400 degree oven for about 15 mins and then let them rest first about 8 mins. The smell was nice and smelled of being in a smoker for quite some time. I cut into it and looking at the ground filling, it looked like cereal mixture. I bit into it, and it was not what I expected, I was a bit disappointed. It had potential to be good, just the size really was not up to par for me. For 5 links, it was $50, and they shrunk to half their size. I don't think I will be returning anytime. Good luck to them, and I hope they are able to increase the size of their links, and somehow make the filling a little more coarse? read more

This place was very good! Although at first we were thrown off by the location and lack of people. We were proven wrong as people kept ordering take out and it was mid day on a Friday. I went with my family, total 9 people and each of us with different likes but we all walked out very happy and full, kind of a miracle since someone always has something to say. We ordered brisket & ribs, with potato salad, green beans, and mac & cheese as sides. Additionally we also had some baked potatoes, shrimp, and side salads. The meat was well seasoned, tender and made to perfection. The potato salad was delicious and I know the secret ingredient for that mac & cheese was love. The owner was super sweet and attentive. We are from out of town but every time we come back we know we will be stopping by. Highly recommend! Also sorry no pictures everyone started grabbing food as it came out. read more

Best bbq on the NW! The owner Kevin is one of the most welcoming people you'll ever meet!

I've had Lonestar bookmarked for a long time and finally got by there for lunch last week. It's a small restaurant inside with maybe 3-4 tables inside with a couple of picnic tables outside. I ordered the Big Texas entree which is 1/2 chicken with 2 sides for $12.10. I chose beans and potato salad and the food was ready in about 10 minutes and served on a large platter with bbq sauce and sliced bread. This was a very good meal. The cut up 1/2 chicken was juicy and flavorful and I enjoyed it (4). The beans were excellent (5) and the mustard based potato salad was cool and creamy and not tart. I also like their bbq sauce here. It's a little runny but tasty. This is a meal that I would be happy to order again and was also a great value. Lonestar is an excellent choice for bbq. read more

Lonestar Sausage & BBQ serves outstanding Texas BBQ. I ordered the 3 meat plate, and chose ribs, brisket and sausage; for sides I ordered baked beans, dirty rice and coleslaw. The meats were incredible. The brisket cut I ordered was the point/moist (fatty) cut of brisket, which was outstanding. The ribs were perfectly flavored and had great consistency. The sausage was home made and had great flavor. The portion size of the meat was enormous, I suggest if you order the 3 meat or more platter you share it between two people or plan to have leftovers. This restaurant has seating but isn't really a sit down restaurant. The restaurant is more suited for to-go orders. The sides were good, but the meats were outstanding. You receive a ton of food for the price, I highly recommend this restaurant to any BBQ lover. read more

I actually googled, "Beaumont, TX style beef links" and this place was at the top of the list. That being said, when I ordered the links the person at the counter seemed like she was trying to talk me out of them. Said she didn't know if I knew what I was ordering, also said the texture was different. I asked if they were like Beaumont links and she looked at me oddly like I was speaking a foreign language. Any who, they are like the Beaumont links, for inquiring minds who want to know. I tried the hot link meal with 2 sides. The beef hot link was pretty tasty...well-seasoned and kind of on the hot side, but not so hot you won't enjoy it; the bbq sauce was equally as tasty. Baked beans were good and not over sweet. Greens were canned, enough said. Very, very small place with very few tables, better to get your order to go. The person behind the counter taking orders wasn't that friendly and seemed a tad annoyed. read more

Lonestar Sausage & BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Food: Absolutely delicious. And the bbq beans was perfect. But they provide skimp amount of side condiments of pickles and onions. Wish they would do what other BBQ do: place their condiments on a side table to let patrons grab as much as they desire. 3 stars Service: Texas-size friendly and warm. 5 stars Ambiance: The outside area surrounding this restaurant looks dilapidated. And the inside looks like a hole-in-the-wall. But these hole-in-the-walls are sometimes the best. I was ordering to go anyways. So the ambiance didn't matter to me. No Star rating by me on this. Overall: I'm only going to rate the food and service. Ambiance didn't matter to me. Go for the amazing food! 4 Stars. read more

I drove 34 miles to try this location's homemade sausages. The beef creole sausage was disgustingly greasy and extremely salty and tasted old. The clerk never offered any suggestions for a 1st time customer. He finally "hesitantly" gave me a sample of their "signature" sausage. It was decent but hard to judge because of the horrible aftertaste of that Beef creole sausage lingering in my mouth,he refused to give a sample of the Creole one. The location was clean and comfortable inside. I asked for a side of potato salad which was a very small amount. Total price for 2 roped links side of potato salad was $26.08. He gave a bag of chips and pickles and onions. My advice would be to take the Creole sausage I was served off the menu. I originally asked him for a sample of his best sausage because I was interested in buying several pounds. For a gumbo cook off. If he would have originally offered a sample of his best, I would have purchased 5 pounds of his signature sausage. This will be the 1st and last time going to this business. read more

Great food! A must try, everything about it was on point. Even down to the service, very friendly and welcoming. 10/10 recommend.

When you walk in the door it appears that almost everyone knows each other. The owner even helped me with information to make my order which was a Big Texan 3-Meat plate with potato salad and dirty rice. The 3 meats were ribs, homemade sausage and moist brisket. The bar-be-Que tasted like a truly delicious meal and all the meat you could taste the smoke flavor with the brisket having perfect smoke rings as I bit into the moist cut. Sometimes I have a hard time eating brisket but not this brisket. The dirty rice was soft and seasoned well. To top it off it was just like home cooking on my pit. read more

This location has been on my radar for a while. I should've tried this place along time ago. The owner Kevin is extremely nice and knows how to make excellent barbecue. Kevin is a pitmaster. I have eaten barbecue all over Texas. Most of the great spots in Houston, most of the great spot in Austin,. All over. Let me tell you this is some amazing barbecue. Food: the ribs are absolutely amazing. Ribs are the hardest thing to cook in my opinion and Kevin and his team have perfected the rib. I mean these are just simply out of this world great. So much flavor, very tender, it is simply amazing. If you're reading this and like barbecue you must try the ribs here. The brisket is just as good as well. The brisket is very tender and full of flavor. I really enjoyed both meets a lot. If had to pick a favorite though it is definitely the ribs. The ribs are special. Kevin was extremely nice and let me try some of his potato salad as well. The potato salad was so good. Also the barbecue sauce is so good. It has so much flavor. I really cannot wait to come back here. I will definitely be back ASAP! I would like to try several more things off the menu. Support local. If you follow me on Yelp this is a must try. I would like to see your review and I would like to see what you thought about it. I am telling you the ribs are simply that good. Right now I would have to say these are the best ribs I've had in Houston and that's a huge statement! read more

I found my new favorite BBQ near my office! Came for the sausage (because it's in the name before BBQ) and it wasn't quite ready when we ordered, so we had the brisket. It was excellent!

The place was pretty busy for 2P on a Saturday, so that part seemed promising - I walked in and ordered some meat (brisket and sausage) and everyone was super friendly/helpful ... I turned around to grab a seat and realized the place was DISGUSTING - not a clean table in the house (the "busy" actually walked in right after me - so when I turned around, there was only one person sitting at a table and the rest were caked in grease ... I decided not to sit and stood waiting for my food ... I almost slipped because the floor was caked in grease, too .............. I got my food and walked out - sat in my car to eat - the bag was covered in grease as was the box inside - the brisket was OK, but lacked salt - the sausage I didn't try because it was superrrrrrr greasy, still a little pink on the inside (not sure if undercooked or just seasoning) and the casing wasn't browned at all/just falling off like it was boiled or something? Didn't look appetizing and instead looked like I might need some Pepto Bismol later ................. so I didn't try it - I'm tossing about 75% of the food I ordered and grabbing a protein shake instead - at least I know that's safe to consume! Maybe I caught them on a rough day and they're just getting through a lunch rush??? Hung over??? Like I said, they were all super friendly, so I kinda hate leaving a bad review, but - I'm also really grossed out and basically throwing away $10 ....... read more

I wish I could give a 4.5 rating. Lonestar sausage & BBQ is a great place to go for a great meal, served by some awesome owners. Today my friends from Washington state flew in and the first thing they wanted to do was try some Texas BBQ. I moved into my new house recently so I'm still getting my baring and finding new places to eat. So we came across Lonestar and man are we glad that we did! We got to meet the owners, Kevin and Pam. They were both very friendly and personable. When I go to a restaurant I look for three things. 1) good food - check, 2) good service - check, and 3) fair pricing - check. Lonestar has it all. I highly recommend them if you are local or if you are visiting Houston. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more
