We did take-out so I can't speak to the experience of eating in house, but it looked there were several seating options both indoor and outside. My wife and I shared a 3 meat dinner which comes with 2 sides. We ordered brisket, pork ribs, and turkey with potato salad and charred green beans. We also ordered an additional jalapeno cheddar sausage. Everything was so so delicious. Everything was very fresh and still hot when we got home after about a 15 minute drive. We tried the house sauce and the house mustard, both of which were delicious. The staff were kind and worked quickly. There was a line when we arrived but it moved quickly as well and luckily they had a tent outside to provide some shade in the heat for this midwest girlie who is not used to that heat in May!!! Overall would totally come back here and recommend to anyone in the area looking for good BBQ. We chose this over long long lines at Truth and honestly, I think it was the better option to make.

Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The pork ribs were the star of the show. So tender, fall off the bone deliciousness. Pair it with the hot sauce that they have on the side and it was chefs kiss! The best ribs I've ever had. The brisket on the other hand was a little dry and I wish it had more flavor, but the sauce made up for it. We also got the Mac n cheese with brisket on top. They really did not skimp out on the brisket. It was very delicious and the Mac n cheese was perfectly creamy and decadent. They also pickles, pickled jalapeño, and onions on the side which really cut the fat from the meat. The coleslaw that we got was okay though. Overall, it was a great experience. All the employees were nice and patient with us since it was our first time here and we had some questions. The vibes were definitely there. Will def stop by here if we ever go to Texas again!!

The experience was redeemed by the cobbler which by itself would be worthy of a 5 star. But with everything else it drags up the overall rating to a 4.

I ordered the ribs in the jalapeño cheddar sausage, but got the brisket with sausage.. very happy they mixed that one up because the brisket was extremely juicy tender and had a great flavor on that bark.

I'm adjusting my review to reflect Veronica's willingness to turn this experience into an opportunity. We were looking forward to trying this restaurant while staying at a hotel in Houston for medical treatments. We had it delivered to our hotel and sadly it wasn't the best experience. When we got our order to the room we were missing one side that we ordered. We got Mac n cheese, green beans and potato salad with a brisket/smoked chicken combo and a brisket/ribs. I was shocked to see two pieces of brisket and a chicken breast for $28. Maybe it was an off night but the quality just wasn't there. All the food was cold (our fault bc we ordered it for delivery) and was lacking flavor. Overall, we'd rate it like this: Brisket 3/5 Chicken 2/5 Mac n cheese 1.5/5 Green beans 3/5 Ribs 3/5 Potato salad 2/5 Maybe they were having a bad night but I wish our experience was better.

I always had it saved on my favorites and kept it because I knew I would want to go to get the real experience of the location. I finally made the trek over to the actual location and they did NOT disappoint. They're not open everyday. I got here and the line was pretty long. The line was long, but they are literally making plates to order and really fast. Impressively fast. The brisket was a little over cooked, but the chopped brisket, ribs , sausage, potato , potato salad and green beans all were fire. Hence the review still getting 5 stars. The ribs were tender. Fell off the bone. Even at the moment I don't know why that potato was so big, but who am I to question such delicious foods. A note for me mainly and anyone else who enjoys sauce get the sauce on the food and some on the side. Or make sure you get extra on the side. In comparison to my meat portion I needed way more sauce. Maybe 2 cups instead of one. I didn't get sauce on my food. The customer service was good, the guys were helpful and made the food so fast. Definitely worth the trek over here. Thank you Triple J

Now wa.....................................it a minute!!!…read more I had an unbelievable food experience. I stopped by on a Friday afternoon. I am shocked! Blown away in denial. Not my favorite BBQ for several years. Typical long line as usual. I stepped towards the restroom, but another patron said( O' you do not want to go in there). They only have one restroom...... for patrons. UHMmmmmm, that was my first and last attempt to use their restroom. It is always too packed for one restroom. The all men workers do not care and or do not take time to clean the restroom. Now I ordered- a Rib sandwich and two mild Boudin links, paid and drove home. Let me tell you, the rib sandwich had one slice of bread. \^^/ The ribs were very short and small as hell. Not even enough to make a sandwich. The ribs and way too much black pepper, I could not eat it. Then my two boudin links stuffing, were entirely mush. It was inedible too. They have always been consistent with the food. I waisted time and money for inedible foods. Triple J's WOW, such a letdown. I was in denial two days. I am not sure if I will return. }:{

I couldn't wait for my second time to show even more family how awesome this place was. Well my second visit spent about $250 on the brisket and I was surprised on how far the quality went down, brisket was so dry that after my first bite I literally wanted to throw the entire brisket away, it was that terrible and everyone that had a bite agreed and couldn't see why I bragged so much about it initially. With that price and amount of inconsistency I doubt I'll risk another visit to Truth.

Here's what I had: Ribs: Top 3 of all time. Didn't even use sauce - delicious and perfectly tender as-is. Current best: Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse, NY and other locations. Wet/Fatty Brisket: Top 3. Very tender. Current Best: Black's BBQ, Austin, TX Dry/Lean Brisket: Not rated. Pretty dry. But I don't love lean brisket to begin with. Current Best: Black's Sausage: Not rated. I had Jalapeño cheddar (they were out of the pepper jack that I would have gotten). The casing is fairly thick and hard to cut through with plastic utensils, and the inside is fairly dense. Current Best: Datil Sausage at Woodpecker's BBQ, Saint John's County, FL Baked Beans: Way better than I expected (and way better than they look, since they look like standard baked beans). I was glad I got them. Brussels: Better than expected - very tender, and the glaze/sauce they pour over is a great compliment. Overall, an outstanding meal. Easy to park. Not too crowded.

Food was just not impressive. Crispy ribs were ok, just seems lacking in flavor and all I could really taste was the smoke. I was thinking they would be dripping in sauce, but they weren't. Not really falling off the bone or anything as far as tender. 6.2.10 Brussel sprouts were not great. Very bland and a little mushy. 3/10 Salmon was pretty good, feel like this dish really hit the Asian fusion theme. Nice apricot sauce or something similar with seaweed and pickles. 7.1/10. Chicken Karaage was phenomenal, but an appetizer can't save the whole meal. Dipping sauce was awesome, perfectly fried and balanced flavor. 8.7/10 Con fritters were also a must try. No notes. Try it if you like corn. 9.1/10 Potatoes were also very nice. At the end of the day they are just taters though. 6.6/10. Wanted to really like this place heard great things. Would check it out again to try more things in the menu and the brisket which is only served after 4pm.
