    The food, service and environment were very relaxing. It is also family and kid friendly. There is also an outside patio.

    My to go place for brisket cravings. Brisket was nice and juicy. The service is always on point. There's usually not a lot of people that dine in you will see people pick up to go. It's a chill spot to go and have some good old Texas barbecue. On our way out, we saw Wayne the owner and the pit master. Such a nice outgoing guy.

    I just recently started ordering from this place and let me just say, they definitely deliver. I LOVE their tasty food. I'm currently expecting so I asked for extra pickles and onions and they were so sweet to include way more than expected lol I will definitely be coming here more often. Their brownies and Sweet Tea are very good too

    Brisket, ribs and turkey.  Amazing
    Robert S.

    Being from Cali, it's hard to find really good bbq. Stopped here before heading to the airport and was cautiously optimistic based on Yelp reviews. Place was empty, uh oh. Ordered a 3 meat plate of St. Louis ribs, brisket and turkey with collard greens and baked beans. Wow, so delicious! I think the best bbq I've ever had. Especially loved the perfect tenderness of the ribs and not too smoky flavor. Everything was excellent. Hope one day I can return.

    Baby Back Rib Plate, Baked Beans, Fried okra, and house sauce
    Destinyfourme P.

    Oh wow, the food was delicious! The ribs were moist and tender. Baked beans were seasoned well with a tangy of sweetness of brown sugar. Fried okra was crispy with the right amount of crunchiness. Good meal for Memorial Day dinner for two. And servers were pleasant and efficient.

    Ribs, Sausage, Brisket
    Dane S.

    The dining room is large and very clean. Prices were good. My family and I ordered several different means and sides. These brisket had a good smoke ring and nice lite flavor. Personally I like the sausage the best. My daughter thought the ribs had a really nice flavor and were tender. She also thought the fried okra was some of the best she had eaten. The collard greens were well flavored and not overly salty. Good texture. Definitely would eat here again.

    Chopped Beef BBQ Sandwich with a side of fries

    WELCOME HOME SON! Hey Howdy Hey!!! Are you looking for some great tasting BBQ today??? If so, then you must visit The Brisket House! When my son told me that he was coming home on leave from the Navy and that he wanted some good ol' Texas Down-South, Mouth-Watering, Lip-Smacking, Finger-Licking BBQ, I instantly thought of this place because it is all that and more! This is my second review on this establishment and I must say that I find it quite surprising that this place is not jumping with loads of customers whenever I visit. The BBQ here is full of delicious, savor-able, flavorful, and delectable goodness!!! My family and I truly enjoyed ourselves as we celebrated my son's return home while conversing, laughing, and getting fat-full of their appetizing and tantalizing BBQ. The brisket was tender, moist, and juicy. My son ordered the chopped beef sandwich combo with fries and it was loaded with chopped beef. They were very generous with it. The BBQ chicken, pulled pork, loaded baked potato, BBQ wings, and fried catfish were all equally delicious! This place does not miss a beat. The cornbread was huge and sweet like a piece of cake and the sides were splendid as well. The collard greens are full of flavor, the fried okra tastes like fresh okra and not frozen and is fried to perfection, the Mac and cheese is cheesy deliciousness done just right not watery and loose but a semi-thick cheesy sauce, the BBQ beans were flavorful but a little on the cold side, and the fries are seasoned well, not too salty but just right. So the only complaint from one of my family members is that her beans were served cold instead of hot and my daughter complained that her BBQ chicken was served cold as well. Other than those two small fumbles, everything was perfect! Oh and their BBQ sauce is absolutely delicious! However, I have to take away one star from my previous rating, because it's absolutely imperative that cooked foods are served at the correct temperatures to keep customers from getting sick. Service was great! Our main server was Raya and she was amazing. Her personality was cheerful, friendly, and welcoming! She took care of all of our needs and brought our food out to us with help from some of the other staff members. We were seated in their private party room area which was extremely spacious and clean! I highly recommend this establishment to anyone who is looking for some good 'ol Down-South Texas BBQ! You will not be disappointed! The prices are reasonable and they have a variety of food combinations and selections ranging from their 1-meat, 2-meat, and 3-meat plates, BBQ sandwich combos, kids meals, tailgate packages, desserts, sides, and more! Parking is plentiful and is located in the back of the restaurant.

    Inside is large and spacious. No one was here hardly when I went. The food was okay. No options for sauce I was aware of. I wasn't a fan of the one that they gave me. The loaded potato looked great but tasted old. Overall it was just okay to me. It was overpriced and pretty basic.

    Lunch is served! I was impressed with the customer service, they are on point. You take a seat and they bring you your plate. They do come back periodically to check on you and offer you jalapeños and stuff. The flavor is great! Just like my grandpa's bar-b-q, quality smoked and seasoned. It's worth the price. Unlimited fountain refills. Great big windows and TVs to watch sport games. They are across from North Oaks Forest.

Since we're big fans of Texas BBQ, we were excited to have dinner there and expected a great experience. The atmosphere was what you'd expect from a traditional Texas BBQ restaurant. However, there were quite a few flies around, and we had to constantly keep them away from our food, which made the dining experience less enjoyable. Unfortunately, the food was a huge disappointment. The brisket was extremely dry and lacked the juicy, tender texture that good Texas brisket should have. The pork ribs were also underwhelming--they mostly tasted like black pepper, with very little smoky or savory flavor coming through. We've eaten at many BBQ restaurants, including Hutchins BBQ in the Dallas area, and we've never had brisket and ribs this disappointing. I rarely leave one-star reviews, especially based on the food alone, but this meal was honestly one of the worst BBQ experiences I've had. The only positive part of our visit was that the service was fine--the staff was polite and the food came out promptly. Based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend this place, especially considering its reputation and high ratings. We left wondering how it earned such glowing reviews.

They had run out of beef ribs, so we ended up getting the pork chop instead, and it was really good! The mac and cheese with bacon was rich, cheesy, and delicious. The potato salad was a huge surprise, I'm usually not a potato salad person, but this one was a solid 10/10. The only thing I wouldn't recommend was this French-style side (it looked like a giant turd ). It was a 0/10 for me. I took one bite and couldn't eat the rest. The peach cobbler was just okay.

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?!

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!

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.

    Hello, I am writing…read moreregarding an unpleasant experience my family and I had on Sunday, July 26, 2026, at approximately 4:40 p.m. Our party consisted of nine adults and two children, including a baby. We had already begun placing our order, and since only one person was paying, there was no reason for every member of our group to remain in line. Additionally, one of the adults in our party is legally blind, and we also had a baby with us, so a few family members sat down while the order was being placed. We understand your policy regarding not reserving tables, and we were not attempting to reserve tables. We were already ordering our food, and there were plenty of available tables throughout the dining area. Even other customers nearby were kind enough to help my family get situated. Unfortunately, the employees at the register and the employee who was cleaning tables approached us in a rude and unprofessional manner. The employee cleaning tables came to our table and stated that table reservations were not allowed, despite the fact that we were already in the process of ordering. The way they addressed my family was unnecessary and lacked basic courtesy and understanding of the circumstances. I would like to point out that the employees who actually took our order were polite, professional, and provided excellent customer service. My concern is specifically with the employee at the register and the employee cleaning the tables, whose behavior reflected poorly on your establishment. I hope this feedback is taken seriously. A customer service refresher or additional training on how to handle situations with empathy and professionalism--especially when families include young children or individuals with disabilities--would be beneficial.

This place is next to a gas station, but not attached to the station shop. The restaurant is very clean, and everything looks brand new and spotless.
