It's funny how certain barbecue restaurants get the top rating in Texas monthly. I've been to all The top bbq restaurants in Texas. Burnt bean in seguin. All the spots in houston and Schulze's bbq is up there with any of them if not the best! I'm starting to wonder if Texas monthly is even a legit thing. Because this place could easily be number one. I'm surprised I've never heard of them because this is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Some of the best customer service too! I'm so glad I stopped in. This will be my go to every single time when I'm in Seguin, Texas. Food: everything was phenomenal! The brisket was made to perfection absolutely some of the best brisket I've ever had. The jalapeño sausage, I've never had a jalapeño sausage that good! The cheese was bursting out of the seam! The tater salad oh my God! Talk about a blast from the past if you're from Houston Texas, and remember the old Heights camp house BBQ, you will remember they had Camp house potatoes. They tasted exactly the same wow I was so happy to try that because I never thought I'd have a dish like that again in my life. The brisket rice was OK. I probably would get something else. The banana pudding was phenomenal. This is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Easy five star review! The customer service was great. The line moved quickly and everyone was extremely nice. I will go out of my way to come here and get barbecue every single time when I'm at Seguin, Texas. This should be on Texas monthly, this should be on everyone's radar if you love barbecue! Once again, thank y'all for the amazing customer service and amazing food! read more

The restaurant is a beautiful location. But it Has some faults. I passed it because it didn't have a sign on the actual building. The food is okay, not bad just okay. The dining room was very clean. Staff very nice. You can tell they are trying to learn the craft of Texas bbq. The staff don't seem to be in communication with each other. I saw some white lady that just looked angry behind the counter I'm assuming is the owner. Now, I did have VERY high expectations for this place because I have been a long time follower of 90 West barbecue since they first began. I know Jesus and Robin moved to this location. With that said I had high hopes the food would have came along with them, which by visual plating, and taste it absolutely did not. I honestly felt them two would have easily been brought this place on the top 50 bbq list and that got me so excited to make the drive out to try it. I did ask for Jesus but they said he was off when we went by. That surprised me they always work! Haha I don't know if he will see this review since he is a manager but Jesus your very talented man with a heart of craft bbq we know your worth, your bbq was killer. I pray someone will give you a partnership to begin your own restaurant location you will do just fine back in San Antonio and we will be right there with you and Robin. read more

I've been to Schultz's Pit Room a number of times, and this one is tough to write because the food really is that good. The ribs are some of the best I've had anywhere, and I've lived in several states where BBQ is serious business. The potato salad is also on point every time. That said, the last few visits have been frustrating enough that I probably won't be coming back, which is honestly disappointing. The past three times we've come in, they've been out of mac and cheese by around 7pm. That's a staple side, so seeing it consistently unavailable feels like a miss. On top of that, the portion consistency has changed. The two meat plate is listed as 1/4 lb per meat, but what we've been served lately is one slice of brisket and one rib, compared to earlier visits where we'd get closer to two slices and two ribs. It just doesn't line up with the expectation or the price. Speaking of price, we spent $89 for three people, which would be fine if portions and availability matched what's advertised. Also tried the green beans for the first time. Unfortunately, they were the worst part of the meal by far. I really wanted to keep this place in regular rotation because when they're on, they're really on. But between running out of key items and shrinking portions, it's been a letdown lately. read more

I normally come here after a hard days work out at the ranch. Today I brought my son and wife. We ordered a pound of brisket, two brisket chalupas, cucumber salad and a brisket taco. Well, I bit into a piece of metal in the cucumber salad. It appeared to have been a large staple, a small fish hook, or a piece of a can shaving. I immediately showed it to them, and they refunded me the salad and comped me two deserts. I poked a small hole in my lip. I will forever stay away from the sides from this place and go straight carnivore here. I hate writing reviews like this, but feel others need to be forewarned. read more

My life is a lie. I thought I'd eaten BBQ, WRONG! My husband and I are traveling cross country and driving through Texas. We obviously couldn't leave without some Texas BBQ. So as we drive towards Florida we're leaving Texas and Schulze's angry that we'll likely never eat there again. Absolutely amazing, the food, the service, the atmosphere.

We had the chicken with sides. We try to be low saturated fat, no sugar. I think we succeeded. It was delicious.

Must've caught them on a bad evening. Out of all meats but brisket. Was only 6pm. Worst thing was we sat at the bar, bar tender served our drinks, then disappeared for about 20min. Found him sitting at the back of the restaurant talking to a customer. Come on now!! Might give this place another try, hopefully not with today's experience. read more

Nothing is better for a road trip than to make a BBQ pit stop. We found this place on our way to Canyon Lake for the holiday weekend. Our original lunch plans fell through the our fellow yelpers helped us find this place. Parking was pretty easy, they had a decent sized lot with plenty of spaces. It's counter style and the woman taking our order was so kind! We ordered the brisket, 2 types of sausage and the warm potato salad. After we ordered, we got our drinks and found a table. There was plenty of seating the staff were really nice. They did an extra wipe down of our table to ensure it was clean enough. When our food came, that was all she wrote. We didn't have the fatty brisket, but it was still moist and full of that smoky flavor. The potato salad was cheesy, great texture, like if a baked potato and potato salad had a baby. Our friend got the brisket sandwich which she also really liked. The Mac and cheese she had with it was also pretty good, nice and creamy. It's you're driving through Seguin, this is a great place to stop through! read more

This was my first visit and it's much better than the place in downtown Seguin where you have to stand in line for hours. And if you dare write a review the owner will chastise you for not giving it five stars. But here the food has flavor the brisket was tender and juicy. The sausage was flavorful and I got the regular. I got the two meat combo plate. I wish they offered chicken on it. But they don't. I also had the tat-or tot casserole and green beans. For dessert the peach crumble. I had heard they were expensive but I didn't find that true. They do have a full service bar on Friday and Saturday Worth going to and not waiting in a two hour wait. read more

I loved the brisket nachos and there were plenty of leftovers. My boyfriend said he wished his home smoked ribs were as good as the ones here. My friend said the Turkey just melted in your mouth.

The stop this trip that I've been the most excited for is Schulze's Pitroom all because of the sausages they are slinging. Pushing the boundaries of sausage boldly going where I one has gone before. I purposely didn't look at their social media for the last month because I wanted to be surprised by the sausage special. I roll in today to see the butcher paper "In-N-Out Double Double animal style sausage". . . I take a bite and no joke the PA system starts playing "Times Like These"-Foo Fighters and I'm chomping at this sausage hearing these lyrics. Listening to a song and eating a sausage that hits the nostalgia of my formative years growing up in San Diego. The pieces of burger patties, pickles, bun, onions and fries were all one singular unit but you could taste and feel each as you bite. All bound together with the sausage spices. The fries! As I was biting it was giving California Burrito as well maybe because of the form and it being filled out with fatty beef. I've had two "religious experiences" with sausage in my life and both have been in Seguin, Tx. Rewording the lyrics, "It's bites like these you learn to live/love again" Oh also the brisket was fantastic. Nice and peppery and the fat cap melted wonderfully in my mouth. The ribs with the glaze! Such a fatty rib. Slightly sweet with a chili flavor that reminded me more of Gochugaru and Korean chili peppers more than what you find in regular chili in the west. But man. That sausage. I keep talking to ppl and I feel that sausage is the meat item where you get feel the soul and creativity of the pit master the most boldly stated. I need to come again when I'm in the area for the next soul shaking sausage they have on rotation. read more

Stopped in for a Friday lunch and was seriously impressed. We ordered the sampler pack with a small dirty rice and a large drink for about $60. It was a massive amount of food; honestly, it could have easily fed three people, but my husband and I did our best! The standouts for me were: The Sausage: My personal favorite. It had a perfect crunchy snap on the outside and was incredibly flavorful. The Ribs: These were delicious and had a unique sweetness that reminded me of Filipino Tocino. The Turkey: My husband loved how moist it was. To me, it had a texture similar to high-quality deli turkey. The real sleeper hit, though? The green beans. They were so good I'd come back just to buy a quart of them on their own. We will definitely be back! read more

Trying to explore the local places that have barbecue. This is one of the good ones. I had the brisket sandwich. The wife had the brisket potato, the only meat they had at 6:30 on a Monday was brisket and the wife got the last potato so you might want to get here early if you want more choices. The meat was flavorful. It was very tender. However there is no evidence of a smoke ring. I believe they cook it in advance and refrigerate it, taking it out and use it as needed. There really isn't anything wrong with that and if you always want to have some meat available that's probably the best way to do it. The alternative is keeping it out under the hot lights which just dries it up or having what you have until you run out. The fries are coated which is a disappointment to me so I passed on those. The wife thought the potato, fully loaded with the brisket, was very tasty and she enjoyed it. Besides the lack of selection at that time of day, the only other downside was they're putting chairs up on the tables before 7:00, more than an hour before they closed. I understand the expediency but I do not appreciate the way it feels like they're saying: " hurry up and get out of here." Some places offer an assortment of barbecue sauces from mild to the very hot and other places have one idea what the barbecue sauce should be like and that's what they offer. This is a place where they only have one. It wasn't bad sauce but I prefer having options The place is pretty clean and the ordering process is very efficient. They give you a buzzer and when your food's ready you go pick it up when your buzzer goes off. I wouldn't mind stopping in again the next time I'm in Seguin or heading that way, but I don't think I would go out of my way to get there from New Braunfels. read more

Randomly found this spot on Yelp decided to show up and try it. Was surprised by how good it was. The brisket was fall apart super delicious not too much seasoning or under seasoned. Sausage was really good as well & potato did not disappoint. The mac and cheese could use a little help but still delicious overall. Would definitely come back when I'm nearby. The day I went they had a live performance too, got a table next to the performer and was a complete vibe read more

Open, welcoming interior with country music in the background. Order at the counter and food was ready within a few minutes. Brisket is delicious! Nice bark and smoke ring. Moist and juicy, tender and flavorful. This meat does not need BBQ sauce. House sauce is OK, very tomato forward in flavor. Pinto beans side was decent size with a great smoky flavor. Would definitely eat here again. read more

The BBQ chicken at Schulze's is top notch. You'll be hard pressed to find juicier BBQ chicken anywhere.

The food at Schulze's Bar-B-Que was good, and the brisket had good flavor. However, I felt the price was high for one person. I paid about $29 for a brisket sandwich, potato salad, and coleslaw. While the food was good, $29 for a single-person meal seems expensive for barbecue. I would consider coming back, but I would like to see more reasonable pricing or larger portions for the price. read more

The bbq at this place is delicious it was and is worth the drive. Plenty of room inside and outside to sit down. You order at the counter and they'll give you a number to let you know when your order is ready. The service is very polite and fast also. Plenty of parking and they have a drive thru also. I would go back cuz the food is worth the drive. read more

I recently visited this restaurant and had a mixed experience. The service was OK - not bad, but not particularly attentive either. The food itself taste good, and I ordered the pork belly with rice special, which I enjoyed. However, the portion size did not match the price, and it felt overpriced for what was served. The biggest issue during our visit was a seating situation. The restaurant was extremely crowded, and no indoor tables were available. Unfortunately, we had to sit outside on the patio. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but the weather that day was 43°, cold very windy. We were dining with small children, and the restaurant did not have any outdoor heaters or warming options. Because of this our food became cold very quickly, which took away from the overall experience. It was confusing that the patio was even open without any heating accommodations and such cold weather. Additionally, there were several large groups from a local church who appeared to have reserved any of the indoor tables. While reservations are understandable, it made the restaurant feel effectively closed to walk in customers. It might be helpful for management to better balance reservations with public seating so that other guests are not left without reasonable options. Overall, the food quality was good, but the pricing seating logistics in the lack of preparation or cold weather made the visit essential bill then it could have been and most likely we won't visit this restaurant again read more

We came upon Schulze's after attempting to visit the Burnt Bean. Sunday, April 6th they were closed! Ugh! So Schulze it is. Easy to get to location, plenty of parking and they have outdoor seating under a covered patio when the weather is better. I ordered a Combo plate, with sausage & brisket - my husband a 3-meat plate of sausage, fatty brisket and pork ribs. It's an easy order at the counter, pay and they give you a buzzer to pick up at the food counter behind the registers. The sausage was most excellent, perfect texture and well seasoned in my opinion. Even my husband loved the sausage and that says a LOT! Order the Schulze 'potato salad', it's a loaded baked potato made into a salad. Very delicious. Macaroni & cheese is supposed to be made with in-house queso, was okay. Beans were amazing! Very well-seasoned. Notice how I am focused on the sides. I love BBQ, except the brisket & ribs here at Schulze's did not hit for me or my husband. Beautiful presentation on the ribs but not enough flavor. The brisket was mediocre at best. The dining area has plenty of tables with a little congestion moving around the tables. Loved the bar area, we didn't drink any alcohol with our meal however it is nice to have that option. I will return for a second session just in case the Pitmaster had an off day. read more

Everyone, please stand up and give Schulze's Pit Room a standing ovation! This is my second visit and I had to go ahead and concede to giving it a 5-star rating. The warm potato salad was amazing. I got the jalapeño sausage and it was well cooked, juicy and delicious. The brisket has a consistently and the ribs are hands down some of the best in the area. Do yourself a favor and treat your taste buds to a BBQ fest! read more

On this day we find ourselves at Schulz's Pit Room. Your first impression is a well taken care exterior and that feeling is brought inside as well. Upon entering you can see plenty of seating inside and outside too with an area for a variety of beverages. For the most important part the food, you head to the register area and choose what you'll have from the menu above. The person taking your order are a kind group of people helping making your selection easier. What I chose was a brisket sandwich, may I say was delicious the texture and flavor were outstanding every bite flavorful as the next the bun helped bring out the flavor of the brisket. I paired it with Tatortot Casserole and the Mac N Cheese, you can choose a variety of sides, the options I chose were perfectly cooked with abundance of flavor and seasonings. I finished the meal with an Apple Cobbler, the taste wasn't overly sweet but just the right amount of flavor, in other words it was delicious. So if you're in the mood for some BBQ I recommend this place. read more

First timers during dinner time. Party of 6 We ordered a buncha stuff but what stood out to us mostly was the ribs, brisket and mild jalapeno and cheese sausage. Unfortunately we had to order the bbq chicken over the smoked due to it being sold out but it was still tasty. Service was good, and staff were very nice. Wasn't a huge fan of their special sausage at the time, which was the Brisket/rice option. Plenty of parking and seating. Enjoyed the alc selection there. read more

Wanted to grab lunch at The Burnt Bean on my way back from a weekend in New Braunfels. We'd eaten there before and I had been dreaming about their brisket. It was 100 degrees outside and a recent write up about the place (well deserved) had a line around the corner and down the block. Decided to scrap this idea and hit up Schultze's on way back to the highway. Had never heard of it (I'm not local), but it got good reviews and now I had a brisket itch that had to be scratched. Ordered the brisket plate. My husband ordered a smoked turkey sandwich and the Buc-EE's beaver nugget sausage (how does one pass THAT up??). Every single thing was delicious. We didn't have to wait in line, we sat in the A/C and watched some college football. Let me tell you, and I hope I don't regret saying this later, but my brisket was like butter. Delicious. Almost as good as the Burnt Bean. Not lying. Brought the left overs home and my kids licked their fingers and asked for more. The sausage was like dessert, it was so good. The smoked turkey was also tasty, but the bun it was served on was so good, if they had sold it by the bag I would have bought those too. I live in Houston, so not a stranger to good BBQ. Definitely wanted to give a shout out to perhaps an under-appreciated place. As my kids would say, 'trust me bro, this place is fire" read more

Got there 30 min prior to closing- sweet old lady behind the counter. They were out of everything except ribs and sausage- got the 2 meat plate and got 1 sausage and 1 rib..... and 2 sides. Felt pricey for $30. Maybe that's literally all they had left. Food and service was solid read more

I went on a Thursday since I heard some good things about this place. I had one of their specials, it was a two meat plate with two sides. I chose brisket and sausage with corn casserole and a baked potato salad. The brisket was disappointing. It had hardly any flavor other than it tasted like a roast. It was soft and firm in some areas which was OK however it seriously lacked smoke flavor. Did they even put it on a pit? The sausage was good, but it was quite a bit greasy. The baked potato salad already has all the fixings in it so there's cheese and sour cream and butter, but it was presented a little bit smashed and chunky which was OK however it gave the feeling and taste of a warm potato salad. The only thing relatively good was a corn casserole. It had whole kernels in there in a cornbread base and that was mighty tasty. The service here was courteous and prompt, but not really friendly just cordial. There were quite a number of people at the time that I went and there was about a 15 to 20 minute wait for the food which they did tell us in advance as we placed our order and that was OK cause when you want barbecue you're willing to wait especially if it's good but when it's not, it's extremely disappointing, needless to say we were disappointed. On the plus side they have a fantastic banana pudding. If this were a restaurant that specialized in desserts, they would win hands-down with their banana pudding. The restaurant had a really cool decor about it and there was outdoor seating, but it was kind of a hot day so we chose to stay inside. Personally, we don't need to go back as the food was just OK nothing to really rave about. read more

Schulze's Pit Room is one of the best barbecue places I can remember. I walk in, and am immediately greeted with cries of "Welcome!" and giant smiles from each and every one of the staff members. The man who took my order was extremely nice, even when I went back to him to turn on the Spurs vs. Knicks Championship game (to which he extremely kindly told me that the game was on tomorrow, not today, and made an effort to show me on his phone), then went back to him and asked him for barbecue sauce, and then went BACK to him to ask for bread. All three times, he never got annoyed with me and stayed very nice, despite the fact he was probably very annoyed. As for ambiance, I absolutely love the modern BBQ vibe it's going for. It makes for a really nice aesthetic, and the overall cleanliness was great. The men's bathroom was extremely clean as well, as well as being very nice. Now, the food was not lacking, either, as the brisket was some of the best brisket I've ever had, and the mac adn cheese was spot on. I also got a side of corn, which was very good. If you don't like barbecue, don't worry, though-my brother got a burger that he labeled as "top 5 burgers I've ever had" (and he's had a lot). Walking out the door, the entire staff once again turned to me, smiled, and said, "Thank you so much for coming!" Overall, I can't express what a great experience this was. It's a shame I live so far away, since I was only passing through here on my way to San Antonio. Thank you so much, staff and manager, for making this experience so unbelievable!!! I can't recommend it enough!!! read more

We got the combo plate. You're limited to what meats you can pick for that: brisket + turkey OR sausage. Turkey was better than the brisket (who would've thought?). You then get your choice of two sides. We got the green beans and fried okra- the fried okra was fried to order and the best. Next time, 10000% pass on the green beans. Nice patio area was reserved, so we couldn't check that out. read more

Ate here after a soccer game, it was good. But, wasn't great. I didn't get smacked in the face with that smokey, yummy bbq smell... so it did feel like a real bbq place. The mac was ok, brisket wasn't anything special, but the sausage was good. Honestly, if I'm in Seguin, I'm gonna wait in line 30+ min at the bbq joint down the road... BB. read more

Decided to give it a try, was on the hunt for good barbecue. Walked in around 12:30, there were plenty of patrons present but still some open tables. Plenty of barbecue to choose from. A brisket sandwich was ordered , a little on the moist side, didn't want a mouth full of fat. And the other item ordered was a combo plate - 1/4 lb brisket and 1/4 lb turkey, the sides were french fries and coleslaw. We waited a short time and our pager buzzed, time to collect our food. The sandwich was filled with brisket , on a tasty toasted roll, the barbecue sauce had nice tang , and was not the vinegar based type. The combo brisket looked good , not too fatty and the turkey looked good also. The brisket was moist with a nice smoke ring and the turkey was also moist and had great flavor. The french fries were well fried , with a good amount of seasoning on them. The coleslaw had plenty of tang and a nice creamy "sauce". There is a nice bar area on one side of the restaurant and the decor is pleasant, read more

One of the dads had the tostadas with brisket and he said they were excellent! We will definitely be back! We loved that everyone ordered on their own and it was big enough for our team to sit together. Seating area is open and beautiful! Everyone very nice! read more
