    Sweet and Wet Ribs , Beef Brisket , Pork and Beef Jalapeno Sausage , Smoked Chicken
    Joriene M.

    My friends and I spent the weekend in Houston, the birthplace of my queen, Beyoncé. BBQ is imperative during a trip in Houston, so we enjoyed this delicious spread at Stockyard BBQ. We went with the Ribs, Brisket, Smoked Chicken, and Pork & Beef Jalapeño Sausage and my favorite was the Brisket, which was so tender and flavorful. Their best side was undoubtedly the Mac & Cheese.

    This was my 1st time visiting here and I received outstanding customer service. I was greeted upon entrance and I was able to place my order quickly. The stuffed potato was massive and it was loaded with meat!! It was really delicious!! I will be returning!

    This was bad. I ordered them for lunch delivery and am extremely disappointed. The brisket had no flavor except smoke and the fatty parts were nasty. The jalapeño cheese sausage also tasted like smoke and the cheese was hard. The Mac and cheese was more like a boxed cheesy sauce and just ok. The potato salad was actually good but so runny for some reason. I enjoyed the bread and the bbq sauce. I've had smoked meats before but this is the first time everything tasted like just smoke and now I have a lasting taste in my mouth.

    Fantastic Lean Brisket, Spicy Bbq Sauce & Dirty Rice !!!
    Michael C.

    After driving past this place for years now, I finally decided to try them since a coworker I had said they were great. I agree too. I came in this afternoon for the first time ever ordering 1/2 lb of Lean Brisket with spicy bbq sauce and a side of dirty rice. Everything was very delicious, juicy and made with great care. The brisket was very smoky, very nicely seasoned, very beefy and fall apart tender. The bark was great and each bite was consistent. 95% of the brisket on my plate was juicy. The bbq sauce was nicely spicy, a little sweet and a little tart with a solid tomato base holding ideal thickness in texture. I personally don't usually like runny n really sour vinegar or mustard base sauces with bbq. The dirty rice was simple but great, meaty, a bit fatty, moist and just an addictive side dish on its own or with a protein dish. The service was very welcoming, friendly and hospitable with great efficiency from both gentlemen I came across. I plan to also purchase the beef ribs, another side dish and a dessert in the future.

    Brisket, collards, fake mac and cheese and brisket with a piece of bread.

    The food is not good at all. Where do I begin? The brisket was dry, the mac and cheese is made of cheese sauce, the collards taste like they're from a can, and the potato salad has vinegar in it. Nasty.

    Quiet, food served quickly, delicious food and few refills as always! My favorite bbq restaurant in Houston!

    DISGUSTING AS FUCK. Again. This is the third time I see the guy with the beard scratch his beard wipe his nose, and grab the bread with his bare hands and start to make peoples sandwiches. NO GLOVES NOTHING. PLEASE BE AWARE

    Beef Ribs

    The Brisket was dry (could be due to it being takeout) and the beef ribs could've used a bit more s&p. However for the price, they give great portions.

    You must eat this bbq when your in Texas

    Potatoe with chicken

    Food: 3 stars Service: 5 stars Online ordering: 2 stars BBQ sauce: 4 stars Was in town and was looking for a BBQ restaurant for the 4th of July. We originally went to Triple Js. However, after waiting in line for 45 minutes, they sold out mostly what we wanted to eat (chicken, ribs, and brisket) Stockyard had good reviews, so we decided to go there. We decided to order online so we wouldn't have a long wait. Went through the online service, but I did not know we had to create an account. I felt the food was okay. There were 9 of us, so we ordered the following: Bake potatoe with brisket: it was okay, nothing special.. Bake potatoes with chicken: nothing special, I can make this at home Dinner plate with chicken, Mac and cheese, and fried Okra: the chicken, nothing special, not a lot of flavor, the Mac and cheese; was okay, I had better. I had to add salt and pepper. The fried okra was a little salty, but good.. Chicken sliders with fries: chicken bland , the fries were good.. 2 dinner plates with ribs, sausage, brisket, potato salad, and beans. The ribs were good, potato salad was not good bland with too many clumps, thr beans they taste like the can. We ordered dessert: pecan pie and banana pudding. The banana pudding was too sweet. We did not try the pecan pie. I would not return. This was a one and done for me..

    Best BBQ i've had in a whilllllllleeeeeee. I would say by far one of the best in south side. Service was fast and food was on point! The spicy bbq sauce is the best ever. The ribs are perfectly made. The cabbage is just the right amount of sweet. And they mac & cheese is besssssst! $5 happy hour margaritas and just one gets you right! The restaurant is well organized, clean & doesn't feel crowded. Total for Two people was $52. 2 meats, 2 sides for each.

    I was told to get the brisket, so I had had that in my mind and was so unsure about how much to…read moreget. It wasn't going to be a full pound, that's for sure. But then I learned about the mac and cheese... And saw that there is an option to add brisket to it. Done deal. And getting a pint was the perfect amount because I was nice and full after. The way the place is laid out, you go in, hop in line, and then claim a table after paying. A science specifically says not to hold the table before paying because it's unfair... First time I have seen a sign like that, but I get it. Honestly I was expecting just a sprinkle of brisket on top of the mac, but it was a hefty amount, and WOW WOW was it good! I added both of the homemade sauces to my food so I could taste the differences. The kick was nice, but I really did love the sweeter one. The sausage was good too, but I wish I got the jalapeno cheese one. I had opted not to since I already had so much mac and cheese. As if the barbecue wasn't good enough, they had a bar with a really friendly bartender who is eager to give city recommendations. It was thursday, and they had tequila deals, including some very strong $6 margaritas. We only did one round, and that was all we needed. We were also able to watch the World Cup game there. It was a total vibe and I know I would go back whenever I visit again. Geez, what is the other BBQ like in the city?!

    Best BBQ hands down in Houston! Be prepared to wait, but when it's your turn, you'll be glad you…read moredid. Fair warning, if you wait to long, they might be sold out. When we got there, they were already sold out of sausage. After we ordered, they ran out of ribs and brisket and half the line that was waiting left. It was really tasty. I chose the pulled pork sandwich and it was juicy and tender. A definite recommend for this place. If you are from our of town, take an Uber, there is little to no parking.

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 got here often with my roommate and always have a great time mix and matching any 6 beers into a 6-pack deal. The fatty brisket and sausage is amazing.

I'm adjusting my review to reflect Veronica's willingness to turn this experience into an opportunity. We were looking forward to trying this restaurant while staying at a hotel in Houston for medical treatments. We had it delivered to our hotel and sadly it wasn't the best experience. When we got our order to the room we were missing one side that we ordered. We got Mac n cheese, green beans and potato salad with a brisket/smoked chicken combo and a brisket/ribs. I was shocked to see two pieces of brisket and a chicken breast for $28. Maybe it was an off night but the quality just wasn't there. All the food was cold (our fault bc we ordered it for delivery) and was lacking flavor. Overall, we'd rate it like this: Brisket 3/5 Chicken 2/5 Mac n cheese 1.5/5 Green beans 3/5 Ribs 3/5 Potato salad 2/5 Maybe they were having a bad night but I wish our experience was better.

    Killen's never disappoints…read more Their beef ribs were just short of amazing. Juicy, succulent, tender. For a giant piece of meat on the bone, they worked wonders. You can ask to see the piece of rib before they cut it for you and they will happily oblige (patrons behind you might not be so thrilled with that move, but they'll live). Sides were excellent as were the mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side, green beans that were just tender enough, but also a bit crunchy. Perfect. They were seasoned with pork, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it. We also ordered their shareable onion rings, easily enough for three people that were huge, hot, and crispy. Let's get this out of the way, some of their prices are a little up there, but if you're anything like me, and don't frequent BBQ places often, it's a rare but enjoyable treat. Sometimes you have to splurge and live a little. Also, they have their regular sauce on tables, but you now have to ask the cashier for their sublime coffee BBQ sauce. Don't be shy, ask. It's worth it. Oh, pro tip: If you want beef ribs, the 'plate' is actually cheaper and a better deal than 'by the pound', so save a little money and get two sides.
