We ordered a family pack tonight and asked for loose. I was informed they call it moist. I told him that was find , we want the cut that has the fat in it. He told me that was moist. When I get the food home, there is no Barbque sauce! The meat was lean and dry!!!! Call back about this $90 of food we ordered and was told it doesn't matter... that their brisket is so tender that it's all the same!?!?! I don't know where they hired this guy or if the owner told him to say that. It's not the same!!! We wanted the loose because the fat makes it taste better. He disagrees. The dry lean meat was not tender or even in slices. It was dry and crumbled. It looked like the took yesterdays brisket, chopped it up to make chopped beef. What a waste of money! read more

Randy's Smokehouse BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Webster, Texas

My new favorite place, excellent bbq, tender, smoky, and delicious. And all dishes below $10. And the included beer is great Service is very friendly read more

Local business. Opens at 11a.m. on Sundays by the way. I've only been coming here a few years but boy is it good. They have smoked chicken, sliced brisket, chopped brisket, sausage, jalapeño sausage, pulled pork, pork ribs, sliced pork, sliced turkey. I haven't tried the last two but all the others are deee-licious! They have a variety of bbq sauces to pick from. To compliment your choice of bbq, they have a small bar where you can serve yourself fresh sliced pickles, sliced onions, pickled onions, jalapeños, etc. The place is always clean no matter what time of day I'm stopping by and the food is always hot and tasty. Will always come back for more smoked meats and homemade sides (and desserts too ;) ). With prices going up in 2021-2022 I am willing to pay the increase they've had to implement because they are sooooo worth it. Nothing wrong with big chains but personally I prefer locally owned businesses where you might run into the owner. I recall coming in one Sunday morning and the owner was there working on the soda machine. You'll never see that at a big chain of anything. read more

This place has made me sick the last two times I've been there, not to mention the food is mediocre at best nobody is ever there when I've been, they probably already figured out how terrible it is. If I don't live so close I'd absolutely never go or probably would have never heard of it, but since I did I can save someone a horrible feeling , they were rude as well like, me , the only customer in the place was somehow bothering them. Last time I'll mention this place read more

Went there less than a week ago, giving it one more shot from 6 years ago. One employee had attitude with the other, also very disheveled and dirty, he was the only one with that appearance. I should have left but my mother wanted bar b q. The wait wasn't long, There was 3 meat plate, ribs, jalapeno sausage and brisket, with fries and yams. Second plate jalapeno sausage, and brisket with fries okra and green beans and the third order was chop beef sandwich with fries, okra. At three dollars apieceI I would suspect more than ten pieces apiece in each container. Ribs were dry , had no flavor and neither did the brisket which were also dry. Fries and sausage were the ONLY things that were good. Containers were not even closed. Paid over fifty dollars for these meals. I felt as if I were fleeced, don't mind paying top dollar but you can't charge top dollar with dollar menu food. I will NEVER go back. read more

I am super picky about BBQ and Brisket. Randy's is now my new favorite! The lean brisket is Exactly perfect and tender and the house bbq sauce is tangy. The mustard potato salad is exactly how my grandma used to make it. And the fried okra- the best ever! Friendly service and clean, homey dining room. Oh and the jalapeño cornbread is delicious!!! read more

We have been coming to Randy' s for many years. Good stuff! Conveniently located, great prices & great flavor. I always go for the loaded chopped bbq stuffed backed potato with jalapenos. Yum, scrum! My husband and kid love the BBQ beans. The dirty rice is tasty & spicy. I also like the greens. It's all good! Give it a try! read more

Randy's Smokehouse BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Webster, Texas

Quite possibly the worst BBQ I've had in my life. The whole ordering process is on a cafeteria style chow line and I could practically see a layer of "skin" forming on that horribly flavored BBQ sauce. Everything to include the sides were simply not enjoyable to eat. Unfortunately I wasn't the only person in my group that was completely dissatisfied with this travesty of a dining experience. There wasn't even beer sold to make things just a little bit better! What kind of BBQ establishment doesn't serve cold beer? read more

Good ol BBQ with plenty of options. Moist or lean, jalapeño or regular, mustard or mayonnaise, and a bunch of different sauces! Definitely try it for yourself read more

Standard BBQ joint. The sauce was not too exciting, fairly mild for something that's supposed to be "spicy". The mac n cheese was mushy...but...they had fried Okra made to order, and their portions were fairly decent sized. For that, I give them an extra point. read more

I'm staying not far from Webster - a community that used to call itself "The Gateway To NASA and The Bay Area" - and on Highway 3 there's this little storefront barbecue place called Randy's. Now, I and a friend have been comparing stories about Texas barbecue places so after driving past this place enough times I decided to stop in. Simply put, this is one of the best VALUES in Texas barbecue. Randy's has a one-meat plate with two sides and a piece of bread for just $9.95. That is several dollars less than my favorite place, The Pit Room. If you want a good-sized meal on the cheap, you will have a hard time beating Randy's. That said, I feel the quality of Randy's barbecue isn't on par with the other more elite places like The Pit Room or Pinkerton's. They do smoke their brisket, but it doesn't taste nearly as smoky. When I have to reach for a salt shaker to liven up the flavor, that's a letter grade off right there. Randy's has great green beans - cooked in butter and bacon. That may sound revolting to "oil-o-phobes" but I was delighted. The collard greens seemed to be cooked the same way but weren't as good - the flavor didn't hit my palate the way greens steeped in pork would have been. I was surprised that - at least on the day I swung by - there was no potato salad as a side. Most Texas BBQ places have that as a standard. ***UPDATE: THEY DO HAVE POTATO SALAD! Mustard and mayonnaise varieties! Good stuff! They did have beans, as expected, so you bean lovers will likely love that. For a place that's not in the heart of the city of Houston, Randy's does quite well. It certainly is better than its competition just a short distance away, Ryan's. And it's a no-brainer over commercial places like Dickey's. Still, if Randy's can get their brisket a little smokier, I'll stop by more often. Three stars for the taste, and an extra star for the value! read more

I didn't get a chance to try their other items, but I certainly enjoyed myself. I am a major brisket fiend, and that is what cost them a 5 star review. The edges were really burnt and the meat kind of dry, but the sauce was delicious. The meat wasn't so dry as to be a deterrent for me. I chased it with my drink anyhow. I also had corn and sweet potato on the side. They were great! The corn had a slight buttery taste and the potatoes were so sweet, like candy. Although that was all good, I still had to get a peach cobbler. I leave it in a word: yummy. I was overall not expecting the sort of cafeteria take they did with the restaurant. Poor service guy had to tell me to grab a tray. D'oh! However, the cook/cashier was super nice and patient with me. Overall, good experience. I hear the burgers are where it's really at, so I guess I will try those next! read more

It has been years and years since I last visited Randy's, which should tell you something since it is one of the closest and most convenient restaurants near my house. Yes, I have been decidedly unimpressed with them in the past. I so want to like them, and I've heard they changed management... so I thought I'd give them another try. Unfortunately, this visit didn't do a thing to change my impression. The decor is nice and very typical of Texas BBQ places. You walk in and follow a lane around to the back counter where you place your order. I ordered a rib and brisket platter and was asked if I wanted lean or moist brisket. I chose moist. I promptly received my order which included two sides. Mine were cole slaw and beans. The meat was slathered with an unappetizing looking brown BBQ sauce. I tasted the brisket which was in chunks rather than slices. There was very little smoke and not much else in the way of taste. However it was indeed moist. The pork ribs were equally tasteless and extremely tough. The sauce was indeed as awful as it looked. The only redeeming features of this meal were the sides. The beans were very good, though probably canned. The slaw was fresh and creamy. Just for the heck of it, I did try the mustard bbq sauce and the sweet and smoky sauce. They were not bad. However, they were not enough to save this meal. I gave them two stars, but one and a half would be more appropriate. So, it looks like it will again be years and years until the next time I visit Randy's, if ever. read more

In Houston for work for the day so we stopped in. From San Antonio, so I've had all kinds of excellent bbq. Randy's was so GOOD! Went in with absolutely zero expectations and was blown away. Ordered the 2 meat dinner, and their lean brisket was so moist! I've rarely had that from any bbq joint. Sides were great as well as the bbq sauce. I've never had Carolina Vinegar bbq sauce, but it changed my life. The amount of kick it brings makes you feel like you are in a UFC fight. It was so good! Definitely check this place out! read more

I have been in the Q business a long time, so this is a real let down and really do not see how they are still in business. I have had a little bit of everything on the menu and have not found anything work eating again. The sliced brisket was the closest. I have eaten there twice with the exact same results. Dry meat with hardly a trace of smoke. Our company made the mistake and catered Randy's. Same results. Overcooked dry meat with little flavor. We had brisket, ribs, chicken and sausage. The slaw was OK, the potato. salad was not good at all. The worst being the banana pudding. It was basically banana flavored pudding with vanilla wafers on top with absolutely no bananas to be found. It honestly was gross. If you decide to try them out I wish you the best. Usually small mom and pop establishments are superior to the big chains but inn this case it is not. Response to Randy: I will send you a email. read more

Just picked up my Order. I ordered Rib And Brisket plate with Mac and Cheese and Potato salad. Bland on top bland on top of fat. Did not get my brisket with my order. Poor product and execution. Ribs were drowning in BBQ sauce. Won't eat here again not recommend it. Kind of disappointed anyone from Texas can place this BBQ at the top of their list. Anywhere else is worth the drive. read more

Randy's Smokehouse BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Webster, Texas

It would seem that I visited Randy's Smokehouse for the first time after a management/owner change, because of what David T. wrote, and also so many past complaints about "the sauce". I'm a sauce-lover that won't return to a BBQ joint if I dislike their sauce, and the Randy's I visited in May 2014 had *many different sauces* to choose from! I squirted a little of each into the little to-go cups and thoroughly enjoyed having such a selection (even if I didn't like each one, but that's the genius IMO - everyone has different sauce preferences). I can't comment on the meat, ribs or sausage, as I normally just order chopped beef sandwiches on my first visit to a BBQ joint, then progress to sliced beef before finally taking a chance on ribs. But I'll certainly try their slice beef next, since they passed my "sauce test". But they did show me one of their ribs, and they did NOT look dry and was decent sized. PS: Their "dirty rice" is more like Mexican rice IMO - not that I dislike Mexican rice, but we were expecting dirty rice. BBQ beans were OK, but not exceptional. Next I'll try their potato salad and onion rings and hope they're better. read more

Danielle L. pretty much sums it up. Nothing awed me here. Their veggies looked canned and BBQ sauce was good but nothing to keep coming back to unless you want to walk out with a BBQ plate with drink for under $10. Their meat is pretty good quality but with BBQ it's so much about the sauce baby. You also get a good amount of meat per order and that's always a plus. read more

That was probably some of the most tender brisket I have ever eaten! wonderful aroma when you walk in the door everything is clean and neat. reasonably priced and yummy! read more

The moist brisket is the best around and the pork ribs are so tinder and the mustard potato salad is great

The place is an old, unrenovated, with great relics on the wall, a perfect old fashioned western BBQ Joint. Most tables are all together for German style biergarten dining. The food is plentiful every time I come. I have two teenage boys who can EAT! and they are full when we leave. Prices are reasonable We like the taste of everything. My business office orders take out from time to time also. Give it a try. read more

Delicious Carolina BBQ sandwich with coleslaw! My grandmother loves the pork ribs, my mom had the BBQ baked potato, and my bro had a sliced beef sandwich. Everything was very good and came out super fast. read more

Great local place we found. Ribs were very good. Tender and spiced well. Chicken & dumplings was amazing. Potato salad a must have for a side. Service was a bit slow at the beginning but overall worth the wait and would be back for sure. read more

Took two turkeys to be smoked for Thanksgiving and the DUCK , also had them slice up my ham. Yesterday was the last day to bring a frozen turkey so they would be able to thaw it and have it smoked by Thanksgiving, if not you would have to take it thawed out to be smoked or fried by Thanksgiving. The prices are reasonable and I have never been disappointed with how they smoke my meat. The guys are really knowledgeable and very informative. read more

The brisket was in large chunks instead of thinly sliced and extremely fatty. The ribs were dry. We couldn't eat any of it and was thrown out. They forgot one of our sides and when we called to let them know, they were accusatory and insisted that we had miscounted. We were trying to support a small local restaurant but will be going back to Rudy's. read more

Called in a simple order of 1/2 lb. sliced brisket and 1/2 lb. sliced pork with a side of onion rings at about 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, (8-13-22). I was preparing a tray of Mac and Cheese for my guests and wanted a little something extra to serve with it. Whoever took the order on the phone sounded "bothered". OK, I can relate, maybe a bad day. Whatever. I live 10 minutes away in Bay Knoll so I headed that way. Walked in and was the only customer there. One guy was cleaning tables and the other guy was in the back and when they saw me they just kind of eyeballed me and didn't say a thing. I stood there for a couple of minutes and finally proclaimed "order to go please"? Table guy responded to my request. I collected my order and left. When I got home I was disappointed to find that the brisket was sliced way to thick and it was dry and the pork was the "chopped", (not sliced like I ordered) and was even drier! The onion rings were just OK. Maybe it was leftover meat from the lunch crowd, or maybe not. I can understand that but what I cannot accept are the attitudes of the representatives of this establishment to local clientele. A tiny modicum of respect for the cash paying patron would have gone a long way to maybe adjusting my perspective. read more

Food is served in large quantities and price is very reasonable. Brisket was very good and tender. Smokehouse spud was the size of a dinner plate and fed two adults with leftovers read more

Ordered 2 meat plate and was very good. Sides are not as good as killens but meat and sauces are much better

Quality meats and excellent stuffed chopped beef potato, and may I add, a giant potato that you can eat two meals off!

The brisket is always tender and juicy. The home made bbq sauce is great. The chicken is smokey. Mashed sweet potatoes done just right. read more

I like this place. Come all the way across town to get their food. Chili is my favorite. You gotta try it!

I've been here twice. The first time it was okay but there was nothing special. That didn't stop me from giving them another shot. But before I mention the food let me tell you about the meet and greet from the owner. I had a Harley Davidson shirt on and as he's serving me food he strikes up a conversation with "are you one of those Harley Davidson guys?" I responded "if you want to call it that." He precedes to tell me about his son's love for Buell motorcycles. Then asked me if I have a touring bike. I say "yes" and point to it. I then tell him how me and my wife like to ride out to Galveston occasionally. THIS WHERE IT GETS GOOD! He then tells me "yeah that's great, you and your wife could get killed together, it would be a package deal haha." Needless to say I did not find it funny. This is not the way to get new business!! Lastly the brisket was bone dry and the bar b que sauce isn't good, but it's edible..... I, or my family won't be back although this would've been convenient for us because we live around the corner.. read more

Randy's ended up on my "banned for life" list when the manager dude gave my wife quite a bit of grief for using a $2 off coupon before eventually accepting it. The customer service has always been weak at best, but since it's relatively close, we'd go here every once in a while. The food is average, and not the best "value for money" BBQ out there. Certainly not good enough to compensate for the shoddy service. I'll never recommend this place to anyone I like, but feel free to try it at your own risk. read more

Good food, plenty of it and reasonably priced. This is our second time here and it's just as good as the first time. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, the jalapeño cornbread is yummy, and their Sweet N Smokey sauce is the bomb! Love this place!! read more
