Everything could improve, the sausage sandwich was horrific. Never again. Its been a minute but now I'm definitely going to pass instead of support this one. Sometimes you just have to close shop when you can no longer satisfy long time customers...maaaaan read more

They might have a long business name; but you can't say they don't put they foot in the meats. a lot of people complain about stupid stuff and this affects business! Just know The food is legit, always get the boudain if they have it, and cash is the best customer. read more

The Bookity Bookity Boudain Man - Barbeque Near Me

Given my tendencies as someone who loves local eats in street food fashion, I was immediately drawn to the smoke at Bookity's BBQ setup (#1). He's a local legend with a love for boudain and can be found in different parts of town showcasing his fare. Pillowing smoke, random people standing around, and meats galore? This is 100% my kind of scene. The Boudain Man is a friendly guy and hails from Louisiana. He's bantering with the customers usually and is in no hurry to usher his orders through. Waiting is just part of the game and asking for boudin samples is important for knowing what to order. He'll offer his recommendations, but I think the taste test is the key. When the boudain is fresh, it's as smokey and as flavorful as any. However, a number of the links I received were a little burnt and overcooked, but still manageable and supplementing them with crackers is helpful. The ribs, beef, and other meats were a bit too dry and heavily charred for my liking. I was also a little underwhelmed with the beans and potato salad for my sides. I'd stick exclusively to boudain in the future. It might look like a cash only situation, but he definitely takes credit cards and cash apps. Like all things with meat, the prices have jumped significantly over the years. The $30 three meat plate is spendy for sure and the $15 turkey leg might as well be sold at Rodeo. Since the location will vary from evening to evening, peep their social media (@bbboudainman) to see where they're posted up. ___________ (#1) In a Kroger's parking lot no less. read more

Dony buy over priced. Bought from three times and the fourth time the man in shell chair trieed to short me 15 dollars cause I reminded him I gave him a 100 I guess. Had to ask him for 10 then he didn't even have five dollars he wanted to give back so I said it was allgood cause he struggles asking his grill man if he had change and the grill man even asked if I got my money back as if he knew so... hate to say but gotta do better business above a petty or cheap level, I won't buy from anymore. Taste was okay but price way too high for what you get and the chepshots ain't cool read more

That smoked boudin is better than any I've ever tasted. You have to find Bookity, but he's definitely worth tracking down. He provides samples before you buy so that you are happy with your purchase. read more

Came here on a Sunday night, busy street in front of a bunch of clubs. They had no line, no customers, all their permits were dirty and ripped on the window, but I still decided to try their boudain giving them the benefit of the doubt. The lady asked as which one without giving us options and when we asked what kind did they have we chose the beef. There was a man in the food truck standing there so I asked which meat was better in the boudain and he said the chicken was better so I told her never mind if I could change it and she said "are you freakin kidding me" it literally took her two second to turn around and put it in the to go box. The boudain came with some crackers and it was horrible! Very dried and it tasted like propane gas. The food was not fresh and it was probably sitting there for a long time. Bad food and bad customer service. Definitely not worth the $8.00 I spent. read more

The Bookity Bookity Boudain Man - Boudain w/ crackers - Barbeque Near Me

The food was not that good to have spent $30 on a plate and the boudin wasn't worth the money either.

The owner was telling us to try a sample and boy it was so good. He convinced my ex boyfriend at the time to buy some and I was really happy he did. The set up may not be the cleanliest of all and he may seem a bit aggressive but I haven't had a tastier boudain since that time. Boudain man sets up shop anywhere-in his case, a Walmart parking lot. I ran into him again at UH and bought another one two years ago. If I run into him again, I would definitely buy more! read more

Got some brisket and two types of boudain. Great dinner and breakfast. Chef Gil is an interesting character. In Houston, at Kroger's, across from Smash Burger, Thurs-Sat. Try it, you'll like it! read more

I appreciate small businesses and always like to see them succeed but in this case I got bookity bookity ripped off! It was late night and I was going to order the 2 meat plate ($15) with sausage and brisket but I wanted to try the boudain too so I went for the 3 meat plate at $20 which is on the higher end of what one would pay at a well known barbecue spot but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I get handed a greasy box which I open to find an unrecognizable mass of chunks doused in sauce, which I figure is no big deal since I didn't say "no sauce". But wait...what are these two little empty spots? The menu board stated that plates came with sides. Shouldn't my beans and potato salad go there? I'm told "we ain't got none, here have some bread" as I get a stale heal piece of bread placed in my box. When I got home and tried to eat this fine example of down home Texas barbecue artistry I discovered that my brisket was extremely tough, my sausage was dry and so over cooked that it got crumbly and that my Bookity Bookity Boudain was a skinny piece from the end that was less than 2 inches long and was also overcooked and so dry that I had to crack into the skin to get into what was just meatless rice Houston has so many better options for late night grub, avoid these guys at all costs read more

This barbecue trailer is one of the best in Texas. The cook really knows his stuff. Any and everything from deer sausage to chicken Boudin, I can promise you that the meat will be smoked to perfection with a bite. I'm absolutely going to see the Boudin man again. read more

My favorite boudain! The skin is always crispy and the rice is full of flavor. I'll travel for this!

Boudain, all of it, period. 5 stars for the Boudain itself. You have to try it. My favorite is the seafood. If it's late night and you're craving BBQ, Bookity keeps it true to Texas, no sauce needed. Stick with the ribs, find a cold beer, and don't forget napkins. Bookity (the man) will probably be out front greeting you and helping you order. Treat him right and he'll treat you right. I saw a machine for cards, but I'd recommend bringing cash, enough to cover multiple orders. Order enough to tide yourself over until you find him again, could be a while. read more

The absolute BEST boudain you will find in Texas. Dude is a MASTER on the grill. Spicy boudain is my favorite. All of his foods are seasoned perfectly. You definitely won't regret. read more

Ok so I've read most of the other reviews about this guy and feel that they are totally inaccurate. To be fair, everyone has a different experience everywhere they go. My first experience was last night. I've been excited to try this place for quite some time. Finally I see him and stop. I get out the car and I'm immediately greeted with a smile and fist bump. I asked which boudin was the best and he allowed me to sample which ever one I was interested in. I went for the spicy pork and it was heaven on earth. Great light crunch on the skin and filled with an awesome smoked flavor that makes your mouth water for more. I then purchased the entire link at a mere $7. It was about 8-9 inches in length and roughly 2-2 1/2 inches in width. No crackers were needed. AMAZING. OMG that deer sausage smh. Ridiculously tasty and smoked all the way through. I purchased $10 worth and received about 3 nice size links and 2 smaller pieces. Definitely a bang for the bucks. Awesome customer service might I add. Had I read the reviews before hand, I don't know if I would have tried it. Obviously you can't trust everyone's opinion. You have to try things for yourself and make your own assessment. I'm a Houston native and die hard bbq lover. I've tried countless bbq trucks and restaurants, Bookity by far has the best smoked boudin around. Maybe I got lucky who knows. But I'm definitely finding him again soon. P.S. NO SAUCE NEEDED. Enjoy the smoke flavor. read more

I had this the night of the Super Bowl Falcons vs Patriots February 5, 2017. Real deal barbq!!

I've enjoyed their boudain several times---pork, shrimp & beef---plus a venison sausage sandwich. Never been dissappointed. Highly recommended! read more

I'm usually in favor of this place but tonight was just not good! We ordered the fish and fries ($8) which was terrible soggy and two very small pieces of fish(nugget size) and the fries were drenched in grease. The ribs weren't tender and the homemade sausage was burnt. The only thing that was decent was the boudin. Prices were high for the amount of food you get on your plate. Very disappointed tonight by the food. read more
