    Brisket sandwich with Mac and cheese.
    Daniel G.

    Can't say enough about how it tastes, you will need to check it out for yourself. Fast and consistent flavor chairs to sit on the side. Great place.

    On our tour of Texas BBQs, we were really excited to try Rosemeyer. Just on the outskirts of Old Town Spring, sits this awesome BBQ truck. We arrived about an hour prior to opening, and there wasn't a huge line. We forgot our chairs, but it was all good standing in line. There were only a few others in front of us. As you wait, you can see the pit masters at work, tending to some yummy awesome food! As you wait, there is free beer provided! Thats a win win!! The guys were awesome. As we waited, I asked if it was ok to take some videos of them cooking, and they were like, yes, absolutely! As time got closer for opening, one of the guys came around with some free brisket for us to try! It was piping hot, and it was soo good, literally melt in your mouth!!! Which made us that more excited to try what was coming! There were 7 in our group, 4 of us decided to try the Lil Bit of Everything (that feeds 5-7 ppl). Which was perfect, because we truly wanted to try everything. It came with Brisket, Pulled Pork, Pork Ribs, Pork Belly Burnt Ends, Half of Chicken, 2 Links of Sausage, ! Boudin Link and 4 sides. The sides we went with all of them, and added 1 extra side to get all 5 and then added on the Bread Pudding for dessert. If it sounds like a lot, it's because it is!!! Everything we tried was super good, the ribs, slid right of the bone, and didn't need BBQ sauce, back to the brisket, super moist and tender, Sooo good. The burnt ends I liked a lot, they had some great flavor to it. The pulled port, I usually don't get from a bbq spot. It was nice and tender, but I would probably get that as a sando if I got again. The sausage was delicious, had a lite lil kick to it, nothing to get your nose running, but had a great snap to it. By the time I got to the chicken, I was stuffed, but from what I did try, had a nice smokey taste to it. For the sides, my faves were the mac and cheese and potato salad. The gumbo wasn't what I typically think of when I get gumbo, had beans in them, which I don't know is traditional, but was good to try. The fideo I had heard great things on, but I think needed a bit more of something to tie it together to bbq. But my absolute fave thing was the Bread Pudding!!! Uggghhhh it was soo good. And we almost didn't get it. It was nice and warm, and had the perfect texture with the pecans that came with it. Highly recommend to get that, and eat it before you get stuffed on everything else!!! Great experience, and was a great day to be outside and eat some good TX BBQ.

    BEST BBQ I HAVE EVER HAD!!! I wish I would have been able to try it ALL!! Their menu is so carefully put together with SOOOO many good options. We tried the Mac & cheese, potato salad, ribs, jalapeño and cheese sausage, chicken and their burnt ends. One take away TRY THE BURNT ENDS. They are paired and glazed with a mustard. JUST ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I dipped everything on that mustard and it was so good it paired great with everything. Still dreaming of it! I LOVED that even though they are super busy their customer care does not get impacted & they treat you AMAZING! Place is cute but small. Couple take aways: -FREE BEER! -Sitting is limited but we ate on the trunk of our SUV and enjoyed it just as much. -Come early!!!! things do go fast.

    BBQ has become pretty pricey. Rosemeyer BBQ was actually very reasonable. Total for two specials was under 40. Service was friendly and I deeply regret that they make their own ice cream and I got none. Helped that we went on a day with exceptional weather.

    Where we were in line an hour before it opens

    Continuing our tour of Texas BBQ on the sacred Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ list, our latest stop brought us to Rosemeyer Bar-B-Q in Spring. An equally impressive accolade is their name on the 2025 Michelin Guide. One more cool fact while I'm at it, they do all this working out of a trailer parked on the side of the highway! My BBQ homies and I arrived about an hour early to make sure we get everything we wanted to try as this place does sell out quick. Pro tips, bring your own seats and in our case, an umbrella for those quick spring shower. We came prepared with a cooler of adult beverages, but come to find out, we didn't even need it. This awesome place provides a huge cooler full of free beer while you wait! In the Texas sun, this is much appreciated. Right outside the trailer is where the magic happens in their huge offset and rotisserie smokers. The guys working have no issues if you want to take a closer look. Right before they opened up shop, they came around with a huge tray of brisket to sample. This got me even more excited to try the food. The staff working here were super friendly like at almost every other BBQ spot we have visited. Between everyone in our group, I think we did a pretty good job of getting almost everything on the menu minus the sandwiches or specialty items like loaded mac or brisket quesadillas. Four of us decided to go with their 'Lil Bit of Everythang!' platter which serves 5-7 people. Well it fed four of us very comfortably with leftovers to take home. This platter literally came with almost everything. We got 1/2 a pound each of brisket, pulled pork, pork ribs, pork belly burnt ends, and a chicken half, plus 2 links of sausage, and 1 link of boudin and 4 sides. They give you a number and wait patiently. Your only options to eat are taking your food to go or set up shop on one of their few picnic tables. No sitting until you eat and I noticed people respect that rule and it does allow for everyone to eat comfortably. I really liked everything we tried. The brisket was tender and it had a nice bark on it which had just the right amount of seasoning. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and delicious. The pork belly burnt ends were phenomenal and one of my favorite bites. I don't know what they glazed with, but it delicious. It had a sweet and savory taste to it. Chicken is something I usually skip on, but since it was on the platter I got to try it. It was good. It was nice and juicy and full of flavor. One thing I really judge a place on is their sausage. Rosemeyer does it right! I loved the sausage here. It was packed nice and tight and had a great snap to it. We tried both the mild and jalapeno cheese and both were good. The boudin was also very good. Comparable to some of the stuff I've tried in Louisiana. They have six side offerings of which we got 5. We tried charro beans, dill potato salad, mac & cheese, and two unique items like fideo and mama's green gumbo. I personally loved all their sides. I would get all of them again. The one everyone in our group was iffy about was the green gumbo. It was full of beans which threw everyone off, but I loved the flavor profile of this. I would come back for a tub of that and put it over some rice and call it a meal. To finish off the feast, I had to get the bread pudding. If it's on a menu, odds are I am going to get it. I am so glad we did because the bread pudding here was out of this world good. Probably one of the better bread puddings I have ever had. It came out warm and maintained it's heat. They also added these tasty candied pecans that was a perfect compliment to the custardy bread concoction. A scoop of vanilla ice cream would have been gold on top. Speaking of ice cream, they are supposed to have some amazing homemade ice cream here and the flavors rotate. How many BBQ dudes do you know that do that? We were full, but I will try it next time. Overall, Rosemeyer has moved to my top 5. This place was so so good. It's far from where I live but still very drivable when the craving hits. I will most definitely be back.

    Why 5 stars? Because there are some gems on this menu. --- --- --- I heard about Rosemeyer a while ago, but I sadly let many months pass before I actually visited. Recently, when Rosemeyer was featured on the Texas Monthly list, I was compelled to finally make it happen. I arrived at 10:50a on a Saturday and was about 10th in line. I had my food by 11:40a. The line moved a bit faster than I was expecting, as this is not like some other trucks that only take one order at a time. The seating: there are several picnic tables setup near the truck. I strongly recommend against doing what I did and planning a "dine-in" visit during the middle of summer. Not only was it hot, but we spent half of our time shoo'ing away flies. That's not the fault of Rosemeyer, but just a piece of advice for future patrons. As for the food, starting the the meats: -Burnt Ends: 5-stars. I will start with the highlight of the meal. Do not come here without ordering these. These are different than most burnt ends: there's almost a sweetness to them, like they use a hint of sweet thai chili sauce on them or something. But the main appeal is that they are so tender, that I'm not even sure how it's possible. Or legal. -Pork Ribs & Brisket: 4-stars. I enjoyed both. I've had better at my favorite BBQ spots, but I would not complain about eating these two things on a regular basis. But I can't say that either were at the highest level that I'v experienced lately. -Pulled Pork: 3-stars. This was just okay. I usually say that it's hard to really mess up pulled pork, and not that it was bad here, but it definitely wasn't remarkable at all. I took 3-4 bites and had no need to go beyond that. SIDES: Mac-n-Cheese: 5-stars. Bomb, no notes. All mac-n-cheese should taste like this. Coleslaw: 5-stars. This was maybe the best coleslaw I've ever had. Same note as above: it should always be this way. Fideo: 5-stars. 5-stars for originality, 4.5-stars for taste. It's like a mini spaghetti and was actually great for BBQ. Potato Salad: 3-stars. Similar to the pulled pork, I tried a few bites and didn't need anymore than that. DESSERT: Banana Hammock Tan Line Ice Cream: 5-stars. This was great. I bought it to share between my friend and my son. My son took one bite, my friend declined altogether, and then I crushed the rest in seconds. It went down easy. My next visit will definitely be to-go or not during peak satan's armpit season.

    Exceptional BBQ! I wanted to try this spot for a while and finally had the chance. Since it was our first time here, we wanted to try a variety of menu items. We opted for the dill potato salad and Mac and cheese. For the meat we chose sausage, brisket, pulled pork and ribs. The staff were so helpful. We had a great conversation while our food was being prepared. This is a true gem of Spring and I look forward to dining here in the future.

    Free beer!

    Driving around Texas trying BBQ on the Texas Monthly Top 50 list. Rosemeyer Bar-B-Q was our first stop on Friday on our 2 day journey. So glad we picked Rosemeyer as our first stop as this place is Tops on my list now! Got to Rosemeyer at 10am as was not sure how long the line would be. The pitmasters Ben & Jordon are some of the best people I have ever met. The whole crew is impressive. They welcomed us in and treated us like old friends. We told them about our 48 hour BBQ journey to visit 5 BBQ places in Spring & Montgomery, Texas. First know this is a food truck so eating is outside at picnic tables under umbrellas. Second, this is a card only place NO cash. Third, they have FREE beer to enjoy while you wait or to have with your food. Fourth, they have different daily specials along with different monthly specials. Fifth, everything here is delicious. Sixth, they sell homemade ice cream. Yes! Ice cream that one of the pitmasters makes. The flavor changes monthly it is the best ice cream that you will ever have so save room!! We had, brisket which was tender, smoky full of flavor and love from the pit master's love labor. The pork rib was fall off the bone delicious and almost too perfect to eat. The jalapeño cheese sausage and Boursin are both made in house. Both are so heavenly that it made me feel like home. Husband and I ended our meal by sharing a cup of Blueberry Dreams ice cream (SWEET CREAM BASE WITH FRESH BLUEBERRIES. LEMON CURD SWIRL AND TOPPED WITH SMOKED LEMON ZEST) We had the dill potato salad which is also amazing. And they have potato bread. I highly recommend Rosemeyer Bar-B-Q as so far we have eaten at 7 places on the Top 50 list and this place has been amazingly the BEST.

    Tray of deliciousness

    "I thought I was late to the party, but turns out I showed up just in time for the last slice of heaven." TL;DR: Rolled up at Rosemeyer Bar-B-Q just before the smoke curtain closed. It was 12:55 and I was dancing with fate. Brisket was still on deck. Ice cream? Gone. But I scored the last bread pudding like it was the golden ticket. Ben (pitmaster and front-man for flavor) handed me the tray, chatted me up, and later hit me with a surprise save; some homemade ice cream that knew me better than I know myself. Elvis is Still Alive in Benton, Arkansas. Peanut butter, bacon, chocolate. I needed a moment. Rosemeyer Bar-B-Q, a food truck on a shady patch of soul-soaked ground, with a smoker that looked like it had stories to tell. I showed up knowing I might leave empty-handed, but I didn't drive all that way just to look at trees. The sold-out board was stacked with Xs, and the line moved like molasses. With every step closer to the window, I held my breath. But fortune favors the hungry. I stepped up and ordered like a man on borrowed time: * Brisket: Moist, rich, bark like caramelized black gold. Not a single bite needed sauce, though they give you a cup anyway like a blessing on the side. * Bread Pudding: The last one. Served warm, dripping with sweet cream and pecans, like a love letter from the dessert gods. No sides. No frills. Just meat and bread and that pile of pickled onions, jalapeños, and sliced white to keep the balance right. While I was inhaling my tray, Ben came out, smiled like a man who knows what smoke can do, and gave me the story of Rosemeyer. He's the kind of pitmaster that makes you feel like family before you've swallowed your first bite. I could've stayed there talking for an hour, but I had sauce on my shirt and crumbs in my beard. Just when I thought the curtain had dropped on this meaty matinee, Ben came back with a pint. He said, "I scraped out the last of the ice cream. Thought you might want it." He handed me a scoop of ELVIS IS STILL ALIVE IN BENTON, ARKANSAS, and just like that, I was 10 years old again with a peanut butter cup in one hand and barbecue smoke in my lungs. Candied bacon, chocolate swirls, peanut butter base. It melted faster than I could think in this summer heat but not before I got the full gospel. That's how you end a meal in Texas. Texas Monthly Stamp count: 24 down. 26 to go. Get to Rosemeyer early, or you'll be staring at a sold-out sign while someone else licks your ice cream.

    Y'all, let me testify. I love me some BBQ, and when I rolled past Rosemeyer BBQ and saw this bad boy had a Michelin star, I pulled into that parking lot like it was Sunday morning and I was late to church. I parked my car, took a deep breath, and said a quick prayer before getting out. The smell? Sweet Jesus. You can smell the charro beans from the parking lot, y'all. And when I read they had charro beans and a loaded Fidel bowl on the menu? Lord have mercy, my soul almost left my body! That aroma hit me like the church organ warming up hallelujah, I almost started clapping like I was part of the choir. Whoa I have to try that next time! And mind you, I was on my lunch break. $16 Mac and cheese with brisket. Lord, have mercy. White cheddar Mac, brisket on top, some green onions (or cilantro somebody ask Reverend Thomas), and a sprinkle of panko. I bowed my head, grabbed my fork, and went in ready to confess my sins. And then silence., No hallelujah. No tongues. Just quiet. Don't get me wrong it was good Mac. Cheesy, creamy, the brisket slices were solid, and when I added some BBQ it came together nicely. But for $16? I was expecting the choir to strike up a hymn, Reverend Thomas to raise his hand, and the dish itself to lift off the table and start preaching. The brisket sandwich. $16. Pastor, are you gonna pray over it and multiply it like loaves and fishes? I wanted this sandwich to heal my hunger like the pastor slapping my leg and shouting, "HEAL!" then me running down the aisle screaming, "I CAN WALK AGAIN!" Instead, I got a small but tasty bite. Flavor? Blessed. Portion? Still waiting on my miracle. Reverend Thomas would have looked over at my plate like, "That's all you got for sixteen dollars?" Now don't get me wrong. It wasn't the worst. It was good real good. But for Michelin, I wanted the heavens to part and angels to sprinkle holy water (or BBQ sauce) straight on my plate. At that price, I half expected Reverend Thomas to show up tableside, lay hands on my sandwich, and bless it himself. Would I put it in my top 5 brisket in Houston? No, But I will be back on a weekend when I've got time to sit, relax, and sample more of the gospel on that menu. And let me testify they've got free beer! Can I get a hallelujah for that blessing?

    We showed up around 30 mins early just in case there was a wait. That gave us time to study the menu and decide what we wanted to order. If you are alone and eat normal portions, you end up saving about $2 if you order the box. I chose the box with brisket and potato salad. It comes with all the fixings, which are your standard pickled jalapeños, cucumbers, red onion, and a few slivers of what appeared to be some sort of pepper. My box came with 2 slices of bread while my friends box came with 3. The bread seems to be a potato bread. The brisket is obviously prime and tender, when you order the moist as we both did. The sausage is loosely packed and has a nice snap. I liked it, but probably liked the brisket even more. The bbq sauce is pretty good, and I started using that toward the end. We sat at one of the picnic tables in the shade while all the others behind us in line took their order to go.

    Family sampler platter (ribs, link, brisket, pulled pork and bread). Also comes with two sides.

    Stopped by as it was highly recommended, and I haven't found good BBQ in the area as of yet. On arrival nice country tunes playing, good smokey smell in the air, which were perfect on this sunny day.There were a few people in the line, but it moved rather quickly.The guy who took our order was very friendly and welcoming. We ordered the familysampler platter (feeds 3-4 people) with a chicken meal and added a boudain link. Our sides were mac and cheese and potato salad. The sampler comes with ribs, brisket, pulled pork and a link; plus two types of bbq sauces (mustard and regular) - these were good too. The ribs were fall off the bone good, and the brisket was well seasoned and tender. The mild link was not bad either, and I was shocked how good the potato salad was. I wasn't a fan of the pulled pork as it was a little dry and lacked flavor. I didn't quite make it to the boudain and mac & cheese as I got full, but there's always later.I definitely recommend and will surely be back!

    Rosemeyer's BBQ isn't just a barbecue joint--it's an experience. Housed in a food truck along Highway 99 in Houston with great outdoor seating, this place is a Texas Monthly Top 50 Award winner and it absolutely deserves its 2024 Michelin Star rating. The free beer offered while you wait in line is the perfect touch to start the meal off right. The brisket was, without a doubt, the best I've had. It was the epitome of moist, delicious goodness with an outstanding flavor that proves these pit masters are true pros. The pulled pork with fideo was a fantastic, unique offering. The pork was incredibly flavorful and the fideo had just the right amount of spice to complement it perfectly. The ribs were everything you want them to be. They were meaty, fall-off-the-bone tender, and had a wonderful sweet honey pepper bark that was simply delicious. The jalapeño and cheddar sausage was another highlight. It was an excellent homemade sausage with a great double-grind texture and a satisfying snap to the casing. The sides were just as stellar as the meat. The mac and cheese was super cheesy and creamy, a perfect classic side. The Southern Style Okra tasted just like "mama's," with a deep, rich tomato flavor and perfectly cooked okra. Every item we tried was a testament to the skill and dedication of the pit masters. This is a must-visit spot for any barbecue lover, and it's clear why they are so highly acclaimed.

    the pork rib i ate was perfect: fall off the bone and needed no sauce. The okra was a bit spicy but nothing overpowering. It too was great.

    Did I get up at 7am to make the trip up to Spring for BBQ? Yes…read moreDid I get in line an hour before the opened? Also yes Was it worth it? Heck yes! A 2-year Michellin star BBQ joint was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. My friends and I got there around 10am and were lucky enough to grab a number. The number secures your spot in line but don't worry if you show up and they run out, there's a spot on the porch where the non-number line starts. We ordered moist brisket, garlic sausage, and the beef rib. For sides, we went with mac and cheese and beans. Everything was superb! The brisket melted in your mouth, no knife needed. The sausage had a nice snap to it and get great flavor. The bark on the beef rib was *chef's kiss*. The mac and cheese was creamy while the beans had a nice sweet and tangy flavor. The service is also great! While we were eating, staff would regularly check all of the tables to check if anyone needed anything. The staff taking our order also chatted with us about other BBQ spots we've been to. Everything was such a great experience and the quality of the food is 100/10!

I've passed by several times and the line has always deterred me, but this time I came with my game face and the patience of a saint. I arrived on a Friday at 11:03am to be exact. Yep, they open at 11am and yep there was already a line. I was shortly approached by an employee who handed me a paper menu and asked if I would like to purchase a drink while I wait in line. It was fairly hot outside but they had fans along the patio to give relief. The inside of the restaurant is not large but also not small, its first come first serve so get in where you fit in or opt to sit outside. I arrived to the front of the line around 12pm so it took about an hour of waiting in line. Ordering was smooth and it took no time for the food to be ready. Staff were friendly, and service was speedy. I ordered brisket(moist), pulled pork sandwich, mac n cheese, potato salad, beans, apple cobbler, and a baked potato. The potato salad was a pleasant surprise! It is not your traditional potato salad, but If you enjoy anything dill flavored, you'd love it! The brisket was moist and flavorful, melt in your mouth good!!! The other sides were just okay, not bad but nothing stood out. The cobbler was a bit too sweet and it did not seem as though the ingredients were mixed very well. It was like they dumped sugar on top and baked it without mixing it. Pulled pork sandwich was meaty and flavorful. Pretty good BBQ Experience!!!

    Embodiment of what a Texas BBQ joint should be…read more We arrived before open and we're allowed to order and sit anyways. We were met with some of the kindest service I've received and even got complementary Lone Star's. All of the meat was amazing, especially the brisket and smoked turkey. I would highly recommend and will be returning. Quaint and obviously family owned atmosphere. Very welcoming, seating inside and out.

    I finally visited and found the ordering process to be very easy. I was able to walk right to the…read morecounter to order. There is indoor seating with restrooms but it was nice outside so I opted to check that area out. There is plenty of outdoor covered seating, with a tea dispenser and fixings off to the side. The ice is in a Texas-style, wood-paneled ice box. There is also a nice wide hand wash sink and paper towels in this same area. The moist brisket was a thick mixed slice consisting of both moist and lean, maybe the cashier didn't hear me. They serve Goodstock by Nolan Ryan, which is his premium line that's either Prime or Angus, so I'm not sure which they buy here, maybe Angus. The German style sausage is a little peppery, but with paprika or cayenne, not black pepper. It was ok. The item I liked the least. It's a fine-grained sausage and smooth and just tastes generic or store bought. The cajun potato salad was interesting and good..not great. They do give you a massive amount for a single serving. It's a tad spicy due to the cayenne. The banana pudding is very interesting and definitely homemade. It has a caramel swirl and broken chocolate pieces sprinkled on the top. This was my favorite part of the meal, but it's also very sweet. The owner let me know that they smoke the bananas and the sea salt which goes on top. The background music is good here...classic country so you definitely have that Texas vibe. Last of all, I didn't really like their iced tea here. Not sure what it is. The homemade bbq sauce is passable but goes well with their meats. Next time, I definitely need to try their homemade boudain, the ribs, and the Mac and cheese.

    I came in on a Sunday at 12:45 and they weren't busy. I ordered a 1/2 fatty brisket and .4 pound…read moreribs. They put it in a to go box, probably because they didn't think I'd finish it and they were right. Lol The brisket was excellent. Juicy, flavorful and I was surprised that the burnt bark parts weren't completely dried out. The ribs were tasty as well with a sweet, black pepper blend and they almost fell off the bone. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. The only slight complaint I have is that the music was a tinge loud but I was sitting in a corner. This wasn't enough for me to take their any of their 5 star rating away though!

    I am not sure what the hype is for Killen's Barbecue. From the exterior aesthetic to the interior…read moredecor, and the cleanliness of the establishment, I wanted this to be a positive experience. However, from the lackluster flavors, poor marbling of the beat, and lack of air conditioning in HOUSTON, I was left feeling quite disappointed. The main star of any Barbecue joint should be the meats that have been meticulously worked on for many hours. When the star of the show are the sides, you have a problem. The baked beans, mac and cheese, collared greens, and Brussels sprouts are delicious, as expected. The brisket was absolutely dried to the point where I couldn't tell if I was wiping my mouth with a napkin or the brisket. Yes, I ordered it fatty. The ribs were terribly marbled. If one bite was a dry portion of the rib, the other bite was an entire glob of fat. Perhaps that's how ribs are sometimes, but my experiences with many other Barbecue joints in Houston were not so much that. Take your hard-earned money and try some of the local mama/papa joints Houston has to offer.
