    Sausage, chicken, and brisket
    Lopez R.

    Wow! I'm from California but live in Oregon. We don't have bbq like this in Oregon.. I didn't get her name but I was greeted by a lovely lady that helped me with my order. I ordered brisket, sausage, and chicken with cabbage and beans on the side. Bomb.. delicious... I currently work in Dallas and had to come out here to visit. Well I also got the double cheeseburger for my road trip.. I ain't going to lie I sampled it bomb delicious... yall need to get out to this spot.. this is a hidden diamond!!

    The Shack's double cheese burger
    Don T.

    My daughter-law referred me to "The Shack" in Sugarland after hearing me brag on how wonderful my double cheese burger was from Smash Burger in Pearland. So I went there the Ambiance was very Sugarlandesh. Meaning clean, tidy, and modern. They use automation there to place your order so since I was new I asked for a little help. The friendly lady who was helping everybody gave me a moment of her time and helped me place my order. Upon receiving my order I notice it was a really well put together burger. Everything as promised was there now it was time to take a bite and decide for myself what's up with this burger. As I proceeded to bite into the burger everything was all there the lettuce, tomato, cheese and mayo. Except for the most important ingredient, it was DRY. No moistness whatsoever what is the point of eating a dry burger and it looked so good too.

    Very disappointed... Definitely could have been better. The cashier was very nice and helpful. But I feel like I wasted my money for the food... Actions speak louder than words. Didn't want to throw it in the trash. I'll rather eat Roman Noodles

    Here's the accurate breakfast menu. Great prices, plenty of food, and delicious!!

    We ordered breakfast: an omelette with bacon and sausage, and the breakfast plate with pancakes, brisket, and smothered potatoes. They forgot to smother the potatoes which would've had chipped beef gravy with green onions, but I'll try it next time. My husband said that was the BEST omelette he's ever had, and that's huge because he eats them at every breakfast spot we go to. My pancakes were huge and delicious. Everything was delicious. You can't beat the price or the flavor of the food! The Shack is really busy and when I went yesterday morning there was one guy answering the phone, taking orders and payments, and cooking the food. There was another guy running the food to the cars. Be patient because they're doing the best they can with the amount of staff they have. I'll be back most definitely, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

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!

    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.

    The food was ok, the Brisket Sandwich a bit dry for my taste…read more My Companion had the Pulled Pork Sandwich, she said it was good but didn't care for the Potato Salad. Service was good and quick serviced from steam tables. Employees friendly but quiet. Casual dining but a bit loud. The restaurant was clean. Lots of parking. But 54$ for two Sandwiches, one with 2 sides it a bit much.

    Spacious.. they have a patio room with a huge tv, bar seating, and tables all around. It was like a…read moretourisy bbq spot because they had like a tiny little gift shop like spot where you can buy trinkets or souvenirs. They have sandwiches and tacos. The best thing there is probably the brisket though. It's moist and fatty and easy to eat. The ends weren't hard, charred, or chewy. I don't think there was like seasoning or flavor was heavy but the quality of the meat was delicious. The sides weren't the best or even best selection. Just the basic corn bread, steamed okra, green beans, and a few others. They had like garnishes at the condiment bar. They have sauces like coffee bbq, hot sauce, habernaro, and bbq sauce.. the bbq sauce is the best. The coffee bbq sauce literally taste like espresso and was weird. The habernaro sauce was just straight medium spicy but no extra flavor or sweetness to it. The hot sauce is more like Louisiana or Tabasco type of hot sauces. The service was nice at the bar and counter.

    5 star for brisket egg roll. I would come back only for that because it was so good I would…read moredisregard the rest of the meal. The rest I give 3/5 stars. I love Texas BBQ so I've been to all the Austin, Dallas, and Houston spots especially on Texas Monthly. Brisket was dry, chicken was brined for a little too long and gave a tire texture. Potato salad was too wet, too fatty, and didn't provide the acidity to contrast the fat. The sausage was decent, I give 4/5 stars. It was thick, juicy, and was similar to other places such as Truth, Corkscrew, Terry Black's, etc. The elotes was also too acidic for my liking and the cheese on top didn't mix well with the dish. Finally, the brisket was just ok. I must've gotten a lean piece because it had the texture of chicken thighs. The bark wasn't flavorful or smoky. Barbecue sauce was what I expected. Worchestchire, ketchup, and brown sugar elements make up for an average BBQ spot. Overall, I would come back and order 10 of the brisket egg rolls and call it a meal.
