Tried this spot based on a recommendation from a client, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Between our table, we ordered the brisket, turkey, ribs, and pork belly, and everything was well prepared and enjoyable. The brisket was tender with a great smoke flavor, the ribs were juicy with a nice smoke ring, and the turkey was surprisingly moist. The pork belly was also excellent--it's hard to mess up pork belly, but they did it right. The sides were all solid, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, this is a great BBQ spot, and I'd definitely come back. read more

We read a review that said this was one of Houston's "underrated restaurants" and then the review raved about this place. Here is what I experienced: The good, the bad and the ugly. Good: Brisket and Cheese sandwich, turkey sandwich, cashier was nice. Bad: The Pinto beans, collard greens, brisket (mostly fat) I didn't think it was possible to present pinto beans that I wouldn't eat -- I was wrong. Absolutely tasteless and too salty to eat. Same with collards. Literally I could not eat them. Ugly: The ladies bathroom was nasty - like at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. The paper towel machine was laid open and towels were hanging down from it. Stuff all over the floor. The soft drink dispenser had two selections spouting just carbonated water because it was out of syrup. I got the impression they were "Hit or Miss" - and living on past reputation. We are not going back. read more

4 stars? That's crazy, this place is as good or better than all the other BBQ places in Houston. The meal I had today was straight up BETTER than my visit to Pinkerton's last week, though Pinkerton's still has boudin so I'll still go there. Roegel's deserves a revisit if you didn't think it was 5 stars. The ribs are insane, the brisket is spot on, the turkey is moist and the sides! The Greens Baby!!! I struggle to not just get two sides with my plate. read more

Roegels Barbecue really impressed me. I've been touring BBQ spots all over Texas for the past couple years, and I'd say my standards are pretty high at this point. That said--this spot easily makes my Top 5 in Houston. I ordered a pound of brisket, a link of boudin, and three sides: cucumber tomato salad, Texas caviar, and cheesy mashed potatoes. Everything was spot on. The brisket was tender and flavorful with a nice bark, and the boudin had a great texture and spice without being too heavy. The sides were balanced and well thought out--none of them were overly seasoned or trying too hard. They complemented the meat instead of competing with it. The cucumber tomato salad and Texas caviar brought some fresh, tangy contrast, while the cheesy mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting. Also, shoutout to the house-made barbecue sauce--served chilled, which I actually really liked. It added a perfect punch to the plate without masking any of the smoky flavor in the meat. Went pretty late for lunch so it wasn't too packed but definitely a good environment. If you're serious about barbecue, Roegels is worth the trip. I'll definitely be back. read more

Always heard of this place but actually tried it through Lunchdrop. Brisket was one of the best I've tasted!! Bark ends were seasoned perfectly to compliment the moist brisket. Ribs were amazing as well. Can't wait to order again. read more

Rustic, solid BBQ, with easy parking. Brisket sandwich and iced tea was $18. Worth a visit. read more

I remember this location by a different name some years ago Baker's Ribs. I stopped by around 01:30pm and only saw a few vehicles in the parking lot. The hostess informed me that they were out of ribs and only had brisket, regular sausage. I ordered the brisket and sausage sandwich for $21.00. The brisket was old and dry with no smoke flavor and the sausage tasted boiled. I was completely dissatisfied with the food and the quality. The hostess was very nice, however. I would definitely not return to this location for barbecue. I can't believe that they ran out of barbecue and it's only 1:30 PM. I remember when the business was Baker's ribs you could smell the wood smoke as soon as you walked into the restaurant, even on the outside. With the idea of charging $21 for a tasteless barbecue sandwich is unacceptable to me. read more

It's one meal on one day, but today, I had a fantastic meal at Roegels. Those of you who are familiar with my reviews know that I'm very critical and picky when it comes to BBQ, and I don't suffer bad BBQ well. This place came recommended from a fellow BBQ "snob" back in Dallas, and I'm very glad I dropped in. Wanting to try several things, I picked the three meat plate with fatty brisket, pork ribs, and jalapeno sausage. I went with Texas caviar and collard greens for the sides, and nothing else. No bread, no other stuff. I took my haul outside on the patio since it was a beautiful day. and I dug in. Here's what I found: Brisket - easily top ten pieces of brisket that I've had. Very moist, great smoke flavor, well rendered fat, and tender to the tooth. Really tasty stuff. Ribs - presented as one giant, meaty pork rib, it featured a mildly sweet rub, properly juicy, and the texture was perfect, which, and I say this a lot, was NOT "falling off of the bone", which is a terrible benchmark. These ribs should be the benchmark, they were fantastic. Jalapeno sausage - the weakest of three very strong meats. That doesn't mean it's bad in any way, it's just not in the top ten of sausage I've tried in 15+ years of eating top tier BBQ. It did have great flavor, proper heat, good moisture etc. I'd prefer a more coarse grind and less "packing", but I'm picking nits. It was still a very good meat choice. Texas caviar - a solid side, could use some work in the spice department, but made with good ingredients. Very fresh and not as heavy as the typical BBQ side. Collard greens - honestly, probably top three best examples of this dish I've ever had. The greens had some texture but were still very tender, the juice was well seasoned but not overly so. An absolutely spectacular side. Definitely worth a try. All in all, this was a very good meal, and it's definitely worth checking out. read more

Roegels barbecue co is, by far, the best BBQ joint I've tried in Houston (that includes Truth Barbecue & The Pit Room). The brisket was moist, flavorful, and left us wishing we had purchased more. The pork ribs were falling off the bone, flavorful, and well seasoned! By far the best part of my meal. The pulled pork was the only let-down of the day. Way too much salt for my liking. Sides: collard greens for exceptional, mac & cheese was standard. I don't plan on getting the M&C again. Overall: 4.5/5 read more

This is the best bbq in Houston! I had our order delivered for a diversity fee and I included a tip. 1/2 lb Turkey 1/2 lb Lean Beef Pint Texas Caviar 1/2 pint Mac and Cheese 2 BBQ Sauces This was all under $70 Not only is this the best BBQ, but the price is so reasonable compared to other local joints. Do not sleep on this one. Run to Roegls for the best bbq you have had. read more

The BEST brisket, we get one every thanksgiving from here. Always is a hit and gets the best comments. 10/10. Russel is very kind too and always willing to help with the order. read more

There is a reason I haven't tried this place til now. I tried to call in an order to pick up but you can't directly do that, you have to go through a 3rd party delivery co. I ordered the 2 meat /2 side plate with sausage and ribs and all I can say the meal was alright. I've been to plenty of bbq places but I wouldn't go again unless someone really wanted to try it And one more thing when I ordered I tried to order a drink but didn't see it under any of the tab options so I had to order it when I picked it up. And lastly I went on a Sunday afternoon, maybe not the best time to go. read more

Work took us for lunch one day, and I would have to say it's my all time favorite bbq place.

Some great bbq in Houston area. Plus they have a few different items that not on your normal bbq menu.

I ordered a takeout of Lean Brisket with Mac n Cheese & Cucumber-Tomato Salad yesterday less than half an hour before closing. I was very impressed. All 3 were very delicious, well-seasoned, good quality, juicy and fresh. Very flavorful meat n sides. The brisket was very supple in smokiness, black pepper, salt n some fat for moisture n taste too. It was naturally very beefy, hearty and bold in the protein sect of the meat itself without being irony or chewy. I cut some of the extra fat off n ate some of it when I didn't. Imo, if u are a fan of Killen's Bbq on a good day for brisket, then you will probably feel the same of this place's brisket, bc they taste highly similar. The beef was very easy to cut. I would say their brisket is without doubt one of the best in Houston personally. It didn't need any sauce, but a little never hurts either. The sauce had a great base and thickness, but was a bit too acidic / sour I thought. Not bad, but I prefer it a little sweeter n peppery. The mac n cheese was very good n loved the pasta shells that were used for them in terms of appearance and texture holding the creamy cheddar together. Very rich side dish. The salad was cool, refreshing and very good with a slightly sweet n tangy aroma to it. I really like a good cucumber- tomato salad in general. Both Roegels and Levant Bbq nail brisket, mac n cheese and that particular salad very nicely. Very efficient, welcoming and friendly service as well. I definitely like this spot more than Blood Bros, Pit Room and Pinkerton's, which are good bbq places, but certainly still beatable. read more

Seems like it might be a hole in the wall unsuspecting old school BBQ spot here on Voss. They have wood on the walls and the whole barn aesthetic down pat. I'm gonna give a run down on what we picked this time around: Brisket: Excellent texture and beef flavor, fork tender and just barely holds together in the right way... however severely lacking in seasoning (salt) and smoke. I'm not a pit master (yet) and thought this to be very obvious omission from the flavor profile. Sausage: a little too much cheese in the jalapeño cheddar links. Good snap to the skin and nice consistency. Pork Ribs: these ribs are a little on the firmer side, I know some people want gelatinous fall off the bone pork ribs, but they had a nice little bark. Slightly sweet; slightly spicy. Good middle road of texture, flavor, and heat. The sides are all average. We tried the potato salad, collard greens, and Texas Caviar. The latter being the most inspired offering. I also really liked their pickle bar! Nice selection of heat and tangy options to break up the unctuous-ness of the meal read more

Roegels Barbecue - Brisket, Pork Ribs, Boudin, jalapeño cheddar Sausage, and sides. - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Located on Voss in the Memorial area. They're going for a rustic, barnyard BBQ ambiance. Interior was definitively an old fashioned saloon setup; you pick your meats and sides and get on with it. We got moist beef brisket, pork ribs, cheddar sausage, and boudin along with some assortment of sides. Pork ribs 4/5 These were on the firm side but still separated from the bone. Milder flavor that expected but it was tasty. Brisket 3/5 Super tender and fall apart. Unfortunately it was under seasoned and under smoked and the grease factor was so strong that you couldn't eat more than a piece or two without being overwhelmed. They also could've used a more acidic sauce to cut through the richness. Sausage TBD/5 Didn't try it Boudin 3.5/5 Pretty good boudin but didn't really expect it at a BBQ spot. Sides 3/5 A bit underwhelmed here by the cafeteria style sides. Overall; it's above average but below expectation of the bigger name spots in town for both flavor and ambiance. read more

BEST BARBECUE TO DATE. Since moving to Houston, I've been on the hunt for some of the best BBQ I could find here since we seemed to be lacking some when we lived in Florida. We each got the Two Meat Plate which mine consisted of pork belly, moist brisket, Mac n cheese and backed beans with brisket. The moist brisket was about 50% fat which is exactly what I wanted. It melted in your mouth it was so juicy. The pork belly did the exact same. I loved the crust on the pork belly. The Mac n cheese was especially creamy. The only thing I didn't care for were the beans, but that's all of the BBQ places. They definitely do their beans differently here in Texas versus the south (less sweet more savory) and there's nothing wrong with them, it's just a preference. Robert got the moist brisket with pork ribs and the same sides. We loved the pork ribs too as they fell off the bone. Honorable mention to the staff. They were really wonderful and answered any and all questions I had about the food and sides. read more

Roegel's is a tasty BBQ spot tucked into West Central Houston. I ordered a two meat plate with potato salad and greens. The food was pretty good, it's good lunch time barbecue. Not too heavy and not too much grease. My favorite items were the banana pudding and the sausage. The employees were nice, you order at the counter and pick the food up. When you leave you take your plate to the trash area and sort everything out there. The interior is a little small but not too crowded. If you live or work in the area I would definitely swing by for a bite for lunch. read more

I've been coming here for awhile now and have never had a bad experience until today. I ordered about $50 worth of BBQ on uber eats and unfortunately uber eats does not allow you to order drinks on the app. So I called the restaurant and requested a lemonade be included in my order. The management team was extremely rude and unprofessional and denied my lemonade. They even lied to me saying that the app would let me order a drink and that I was only tryin to get a free lemonade which was far from the truth. I'm very disappointed. read more

Food comes out really quick!! read more

Roegels Barbecue - Brisket plate - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

It took me many years to visit this popular bbq spot in the galleria/memorial area, but I was craving bbq and I was in the area and decided to see what all the fuss was about. Inside, it's dark and homey, but smells great like a bbq restaurant should with smoke in the air. I perused the menu and just wanted something quick and not too elaborate, so I chose the bbq baked potato and a sausage link, with mac and cheese, and a sweet tea. The sausage, they have 4 varieties, was easily the best item I tried. The links are homemade and I asked the shift manager at the register to surprise me with the flavor. He chose jalapeno cheese, which wasn't really spicy, but very flavorful. The brisket on the potato was chopped, with sauce on the side The potato itself was huge. The entire meal turned into 3 meals basically. The sauce is served warm. The mac and cheese was peppery with spiral noodles and lightly coated with their cheese sauce. It was good, but I prefer more of a soupy mac n cheese, with a variety of gourmet cheeses. The sweet tea wasn't all that sweet when I poured half and half, so I went back for a refill and made it 75/25 which helped. Overall, I liked the place a lot...but I think I prefer Stockyard a bit better for their brisket. Service at Roegels is better though, as every staff I communicated with spoke to you like family, instead of a business. read more

My next and last barbecue joint that I went to on my recent trip to Houston was Roegels Barbecue. Although it wasn't as highly ranked on Yelp as some of the alternatives, my friends told me that Roegels was actually more worth it. Came here around 12 pm on a Monday to see how it is. Kept it simple and ordered four things: 1 lb of moist brisket, 1 lb of pork ribs, mac and cheese, and one jalapeno cheddar sausage. Brisket wasn't the best I've had, but definitely up there on briskets I've had. Pork ribs were great as well. Mac and cheese was more on the conventional side, but I liked it a lot. And you can't go wrong with a jalapeno cheddar sausage! Bruce took my order and was super friendly. Really great customer service! Even though it's not as popular as some of the other Houston BBQ joints, Roegels definitely holds its weight as a fine BBQ establishment. Definitely worth the trip! read more

By far the best chicken around. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, the chicken is our favorite. The sides are perfect portions and flavors to accompany the bbq.

Ordered a two meat plate with fattier brisket, jalapeño sausage, pinto beans, and Mac n cheese. Brisket was way fattier than the fattiest brisket I've had before, so didn't land as much for me.

Veteran owned and always GREAT !!!! Great sides and there is nothing I haven't tried !!!

The food is good but I ordered chicken and when I would press the chicken blood would come out. I went and said if it could be cooked longer. They said no and that it was bone marrow when I could visibly see it coming from the chicken. Please be careful when ordering chicken. My daughter has gotten salmonella in the past an there should never be visible blood in the chicken. I 3nded up getting brisket, I would have just have liked for this to have been addressed the correct way. read more

I live in Houston but travel quite a bit and have had Franklins bbq, interstellar bbq, 2M, Panther City bbq, Hutchins, Goldie's and other bbq restaurants across the great state of Texas. Roegels bbq is up there with the best in the state. I've been eating here since 2010 and the brisket and food is always consistently top notch. We will even get a few briskets to take to our Texans tailgate and everyone is always amazed by the quality of the brisket. read more

Gross. Came here with my fiancé a few months ago. It did not taste very fresh. We decided today to try it again and now we both have upset stomachs. I ordered the sandwich. It was dry. The onions from the side bar were sour. The potato salad tasted days old. The banana pudding was extremely sweet but not much other flavor. The soda was flat. The bathroom had a large puddle of water and a murky, gross smell. Staff was nice and friendly, which usually warrants an additional star. But the above reasons are too much. 1/5. read more

Tried the Trinity. Ribs good, brisket good, all three sausages nothing special. Didn't ask us if we wanted lean or fatty, luckily we got fatty. The collard greens were tasty as well as Texas caviar. The bread and brisket the best. We ordered an extra pound of ribs and it cost us half as much as another Trinity package. I would not say it was worth driving across town for, tasty but not exceptional BBQ. read more
