    Tasteless frozen patty they serve for a burger (no bun)
    Katie G.

    I wanted a good burger after work and I tried this place, idk how they have such high reviews. This burger was like a hockey puck, frozen patty and tasteless. I couldn't believe a bbq place would serve this. I won't even be back to try anything else because I got green beans on the side and they were oddly sweet with a teriyaki burnt taste and if you can't make those things well, I'd hate to waste my money on anything else there. Yuck. Plus, big red flag was that I couldn't buy a single beer unless you pay for a cozy

    Place is phenomenal.. Staff was super helpful, and the food was incredible!!! Restaurant location was great and welcoming inside

    Fried okra, baked beans and Mac-n-Cheese
    Brett N.

    Why 4 stars? Because I would happily make somewhat regular appearances here. --- --- --- I am annoyed that I only recently discovered this place, otherwise I would have visited much sooner. We were eating dinner in downtown Magnolia, and I opened up Yelp to try to find a place nearby for ice cream or some sort of dessert, and Meating Place popped up. I bookmarked it then and we ended up visiting a couple of weeks later. My wife and I usually opt for different things so we can share and try multiple things, but in this case, we both went straight for a BBQ potato. She opted for brisket, and I went with pulled pork. I literally gobbled up every single square inch of mine, which is a pretty good sign I enjoyed it. For sides, we opted for baked beans (5-stars), fried okra (4-stars) and mac-n-cheese (2-stars). Unfortunately, the mac was a big miss for me, but the good news is that it was the only thing I really disliked during our visit. I am not sure what I tasted in it, but it reminded me of goat cheese, which I really despise. My wife didn't taste it, so maybe it was just me, but I kept trying it, and kept tasting it. Aside from that, it just kind of looked and tasted like store-bought mac. For dessert, we ordered banana pudding (5-stars) and strawberry shortcake (3-stars). There were plenty of other great options in the dessert case, and I very much look forward to trying many of them during future visits. Next time we're craving BBQ potatoes, this is where we're coming!

    Another angle.

    This review is based on the drive thru. I paid for jalapeños and didn't get them. I asked for pickles and onions and didn't get them, I got no utensils. I got no napkins. What I did get was a hole in the bottom of the coleslaw which drained all over the rest of the stuff in the bag I also paid $6.50 for coleslaw that only came up to about the middle of the container. For almost $60, I feel as though people should be a little more diligent about what they put in the bags.

    Trying for the first time 11.5.22

    11.5.22 This place is close to our new home so we were wanting to try it. I came in to get a stuffed bbq baked potato, some sides and I bought 2 desserts. () The potato was good and the chopped brisket was just ok. Not much flavor to it. I ordered a coleslaw and it was not to my liking but my husband said it was different but good. My husband's side choice was fried okra. He said the okra was tasty and not greasy. He would order it again. Now let's talk about the desserts! (I can't believe I forgot to take a photo of them.) I ordered a peach cobbler and a key lime pie. I really liked the cobbler but the show stopper was the key lime pie. O M G--it was the best key lime pie I have EVER had anywhere!!!! My husband agrees! I would try the bbq again, and I will definitely be back for the desserts! ...I wonder if they sell a whole key lime pie? I would love one for Thanksgiving.

    Meating Place BBQ Sauce - YUM!

    This is really a great BBQ place in Magnolia! When you walk in, you're walking into a casual and laid back environment where the smell is amazing! It has a "barn" feel...because it's in a "barn" type building. Walk up to the counter, place your order and pick a table. Want beer? Buy a koozie and the beer is on the house. No real wine selection that I recall, but believe the have wine cooler type drinks. The offer a singer on Fridays/Saturdays. I can't confirm if there is music other days, but the singer has always been excellent! Not too loud and a great selection of country style music! The BBQ is tasty, not overly smoky and has the right tenderness. The beans, coleslaw and okra are wonderful! The BBQ sauce is some of the best BBQ sauce I've ever had! I have had their smoked chicken and jalapeno sausage which was wonderful! I sadly didn't get a picture of that meal. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for good BBQ in a small town.

    Brisket lacked taste, the rib texture was spongy, baked beans were dry, and potato salad as just off. Needless to say I will not go back.
