Used to enjoy this spot, so I stopped in today to grab a sandwich they are not serving their pulled pork anymore, so I got a chopped beef sandwich. The young lady at the order counter was very kind and welcoming, but I believe it was the owner or the cook that came out and brought my sandwich. He never made eye contact ,never said thank you ,just shoved my sandwich in a bag at me ,and walked away. I had asked for a small container of extra sauce and was willing to pay, and the young lady said no ,they will put sauce on the sandwich ,so I was fine with that. For $14 ,I had a small hamburger bun with no pickles, no onions, just meat and a quarter teaspoon of sauce. I brought it home and put on some of my own sauce and pickles, but sadly, the meat was very dried out ,as though it had been chopped earlier and frozen, or just overcooked.There was no smoke ring on the meat at all. It was brown all the way through ,and the edges were too hard to eat on many of the pieces. I ended up having to knock off about half of the inedible meat ,and so had a very spare sandwich for lunch. Too expensive for this disappointing product,so I won't be back. I love to support local, but I work hard for my money too, and cannot waste it. read more

Everything is made fresh.. but man barbecue has gone up in price.. waiting for the new location to reopen after the fire..

Why 4 stars? Because the ribs alone were probably worth the trip. --- --- --- We visited Big Rivers waterpark and were in New Caney, for literally, the first time in entire lives. I popped Yelp open to see what was nearby, and The Rusty Buckle definitely had the best Yelp rating, so we took about a 10-12 minute ride over here. From the outside, it looks more like an old motel than a restaurant. The interior is certainly on the divey side, but the food was pretty enjoyable and the people were incredibly nice. I ordered a 3 meat plate, that comes with 3 sides: Pork Ribs: 5-stars. Definitely my favorite item here. I loved the seasoning on it. It had a *little* bit of a kick and a great texture. Brisket: 4-stars. The fatty side was incredibly tender and juicy, but the other side was a little bit more firm than it could have been. Pulled Pork: 3-stars. This was just okay, at best. In retrospect, I would have just gotten a 2-meat plate and skipped this. Green Beans: 4.5-stars. I am not the biggest green bean fan in general, but these were very nicely done. They tasted like they had been soaking in a tub of butter before they reached out plate. Just as God intended with vegetables. Corn Casserole: 3.5-stars. I like the unique nature of this dish: combining a couple of different standard BBQ side items together. But it was a little dry, and visually, it looked like something that had just been sitting in a bowl for a while before getting dumped onto our plate. Dirty Mac-n-Cheese: 3-stars. The mac itself wasn't bad. The brisket that came with it was dry and just took away from the flavor of the mac. I'd advise on just getting regular mac-n-cheese. The next time I'll be in New Caney ranges from "many years to never", but so I can't say I'll be back, but I was pretty happy with our experience, overall. read more

BBQ Critic - It was great! I mean. 44 Farms Ribs/Brisket. It's a small place but excellent BBQ. Try it. read more

Tasted like it was made with liquid smoke or something. Wasn't authentic and would've rather had Texas Roadhouse

The best BBQ! We have eaten here for years and we never get tired of it. The food is consistent and delicious every time. The owner is always mixing things up with new ideas and each one is fantastic. The environment and people are as wonderful as the food. Rusty Buckle feels like a second home with better food. read more

Awesome BBQ! We will definitely eat here again as it is close to the house. Sadly it will be a while because of the fire; hope they rebuild fast! read more

Decent 'cue and sides, sweet tea and service. The neighborhood was kind of sketchy but the stop was worth it. If you're in Humble around lunch, this is a good place to stop. read more

All the five star reviewers aren't accustomed to eating good Texas BBQ from the Hill Country. The sides were good maybe close to a 4.5/5, however the brisket was dry and not moist as evident from the photo. 3/5 For being part of the "point" of the brisket you'd expect more. The sausage was decent in flavor, but needed to be smoked longer. Would give the place a 3.5, but trying to help support small business as they might be the best bbq place in the area, but is far being great Texas BBQ. read more

The best brisket I have ever eaten before. The flavors are truly unmatched. No BBQ sauce needed for the tender and flavorful meat. The service is really good and food comes out so quick. The dirty Mac is so delicious and creamy with pieces of brisket throughout it. This is what I call good Texas BBQ. read more

Food is good but service from the fat lady in the back is horrible!!! Our first time here and we felt so unwelcomed!!! We were lost because it was so overwhelming at the front with so many signs so had no clue how to order!!! The young kid was very nice but when the fat lady saw that we were asking questions!! She butt in and out as very rude, she said "the board is right there!!!" Yeah we see it but it was still confusing because we had never ordered here before so when we would ask for something she would add other stuff and my husband and I just looked at eachother like okkkkk whatever she says. We ended up getting what she picked!! Never again, I don't care if food was as good! Your service sucks read more

We are visiting from Kansa city, Mo. and wanted to try the local bbq, this place had some great reviews. The owner is awesome, he is generous, and funny, a truly delightful experience. Our food was fantastic, we tried to the brisket, beef ribs, jalapeño and regular smoked sausage. We will definitely return next time we are in town. Thank you so much. Your Kansas City Jeep friends. read more

Tried it for the first time today, was definitely the best bbq we've had! And we've had A LOT of bbq! The brisket just melts in your mouth and the ribs fall off the bone. The green beans are something special, I could have eaten the whole side by myself! We also enjoyed the potato salad, dirty mac n cheese and the redneck sushi roll. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well as to go orders. Most of the drinks are bottled, including the water which was a little annoying but can be overlooked because the food was so good. Can't wait to go back and try the sweet potato casserole and the fresh desserts! read more

Best BBQ around! After seeing this place on Yelp, my wife and I made the short trip over from Kingwood to try it out. We were not at all disappointed! The ribs were the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The brisket was delicious and moist. The sauce was as good as I've ever had. To be honest, even if the meat had been subpar, I'd probably come back just for the sides. The sweet potato casserole and the corn casserole were so good, they got devoured before we could take a picture. We also got to meet the owner who personally came to our table to check on us and give us a brief history of his family owned business and his plans for the future. Very glad to have found a new go-to bbq joint so close to home. We will definitely be back. read more

Sometimes we find an exceptional restaurant and I hate to let anyone else know how great the food and service is. Rusty Buckle serves USDA Prime meat. They season it to perfection and the flavor is unbelievable. You don't need bbq sauce or a knife. We ordered lean and moist brisket, half slab of ribs and a loaded baked potato. This is the best bbq in Houston!! read more

The real deal! Came here while visiting from out of town looking for an authentic BBQ place and I'm so happy we found it! The owner greeted us the second we walked in and all the staff was super friendly we were treated like family. The place is nicely kept and very clean. the best part of course was the food! We ordered a meat sampler and a bunch of sides because everything looked so good that we couldn't decide and we were not dissappointed! The ribs are to die for, corn bread, mac an cheese , potato salad you name it. It was amazing. I'm coming back next time I'm in town!! read more

Love the brisket ribs and the turkey. They got rid of pork chop Thursdays but the food is excellent

Line to order us a little slow. Disappointed to see many of the signature unavailable 30 minutes after opening. Line was slow, but not deep and there were only 3 people dining in. Many of the folk visiting are regulars kitchen is on a first name basis with many of the people that cane through the door. Seating nothing less than eclectic, it seems if you left any kind of table and chairs out after Harvey, be rest assured they found a home. Green beans are boiled and seasoned with tony sachetes onion and pepper. Dirty Mac is delicious, bits of brisket and gravy. It's the best effing hamburger helper in the planet. You got something here, rebrand it as TX Mac and cheese and sell this through Costco, BJs and Sams club. Brisket is tender with a good smoke ring, best in the lake Houston area I've tried so far. Pork ribs are tender again, a little too salty for me but overall very enjoyable. Turkey is good bet too. Good Cajun-esques seasoning and again very tender. House sauce is smoky and sweetened with honey. It's what I do when I'm in the mood for sauce but might be to saccharin it's weak for others. Pit master is in the kitchen and is open to answering questions about the menu and how the sausage is made. read more

Not my favorite. I guess I'm not TX enough since I realize I really don't like the self serve tray and dry meat slathered in bbq sauce.

Delicious food and great service most tender brisket I've had in a while! Loved the Mac n cheese

The service was very good. The brisket was a bit tough. But the pulled pork was really good. Next time, I will try the stuffed potatoe. Maybe the brisket will be softer. read more

Great Texas BBQ! Dino Rib Friday, and you will tap out. Service is amazing. They have smoked sugar cookies that you need to try.

By far the best BBQ around. We drive over an hour at least every 6 weeks just to stop in and have a bite. From the tacos to the stuffed taters, dirty mac to the bacon wrapped ribs - and the lip smacking desserts, we just can't get enough. The decor is just like the ownership - genuine, cozy and heart-felt. We have much love for the fantastic food and even better service/people. #MmmMmmGood #Merica read more

Just moved here from Tulsa, Oklahoma and have to say this is hands down the best brisket I have ever had. It is super moist and flavorful. Love the sides, especially the green beans and dirty mac + cheese! The decor is super patriotic and PRO-AMERICAN, so if that offends, you might want to stay home. PLEASE. read more

We had heard about rusty buckle being the best bbq so we tried it although it was out of our normal eat out price range we made the exception. We ordered the big trio, ribs brisket and sausage with sides of green bean, Mac and corn chowder. The brisket was the best and tender. It had a thick highly seasoned crusty rub. The greenbeans were good with an unusual sweetness of sugar. I was disappointed in the remainder of meats and sides. It seemed that the same thick seasoning was supplied to the ribs. Ribs having less meat and fat was over flavored with the thick highly seasoned rub. I could barely finish one rib washing it down with water. I wasn't expecting the corn chowder to be corn bread. I thought it was corn chowder more like a thick creamed corn with peppers and onion like old style. Instead it was like a highly sweetened cornbread with corn in it. The sausage was the worse meat having extra salt where sausage is usually already seasoned. It almost tasted like it had soaked in brine. I really regret giving this review because I most enjoy praising others but I am honest. I expect a almost perfect food if it's expensive and I did expect this meal to be one of the best for the cost and reviews. For me I can only say the brisket was really good and the green beans were also good if you don't mind them tasting sweet. I would definitely recommend lightening up on the seasoning and not using the same on all meats and then the same on all sides. The regular Mac didn't have a cheese taste just creamy without the cheese. For my family we were disappointed. read more

I would have taken pictures of my food, but I messed up, and tasted it first..... Needless to say, I'm now a forever customer!! This was my first time here, and let me just say... It's one thing to nail one or two dishes in a what I would call a southern mom and pop shop, BUT to nail every single thing down to green beans..... I mean, come on! Just WOW. This is by far the BEST BBQ I HAVE EVER HAD!! I had the pulled pork sandwich, the dirty Mac-N-Chesse, and the greenbeans. Oh, and the sweet tea.... I even tried a bite of their jalapeño sausage, and their potato salad!! If they ever expand, I hope they don't change a single recipe!!! read more
