My husband and I both got the 3 meat plates, our intentions were to take our leftovers to eat for later back at our room. I got the brisket, turkey, chicken, okra, and Mac and cheese. The young lady that took our order was friendly, and patient as there was a lot to choose from. After receiving our food the serving portions were huge! Which was great for leftovers, right!? I was so excited until I bit into my food. Although it was tender, my brisket was dry and flavorless. The chicken tasted fair, but baked. The turkey was the winner of the day, what the other two meats lacked, it made up for it. My husband had brisket, ribs, sausage, with double beans. He only liked the sausage. We have said on numerous occasions, that beans in a BBQ facility should never be bland! An onion and the leftover meat can be a game changer, but these tasted like they opened the can and heated them, that is all. We did enjoy sitting on the patio just conversing with each other and the locals. read more

See all

Great atmosphere and a local institution. Recent patio addition is nice. Food is good but not the best BBQ in town. Got stuffed baked potato and it was pretty light on toppings. Couldn't even find the sour cream or sauce. Try the sweet tea! read more

Vernon's Kuntry Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Not the worst bbq I've had but definitely not the best. I've heard their burgers are really good. Haven't tried the burgers yet, but plan to give them another shot...just not the bbq. read more

Been a customer for twenty years. In that time the quality has not changed! They are the best at everything Yi have eaten there. Besides the fried catfish, We love the blackened and lemon pepper catfish. The chicken friend rib eye is fantastic and so ard the chicken tenders and Fried Chicken on Tuesdays!! read more

In my opinion they have the best bbq in Conroe and service is great and staff are friendly.

Stopped by today and was a tad disappointed. I got the chopped beef sandwhich and fries and the only thing hot on the plate was the fries. The chopped beef felt like it was just taken out the fridge or been sitting for a long time cause it wasnt even warm. However, it did taste good and the fries were perfect. read more

Nice relaxing kuntry setting. Great food and excellent service. Perfect for families, groups, singles, or takeout.

I went here because I had such a GREAT experience at Vernon's catfish. This was a surprise, the atmosphere is wonderful (kind of like a throwback) but when I went there was only one girl working the entire restaurant. The food came late, the meat was a grey color and extremely tough, and overall there was not a saving attribute. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Great food every time never fails. Have tried the bbq sandwiches, burgees, potatoes, ribs & all were excellent. Nice eclectic bbq place so give it a try! read more

Stopped in to try a new place and definitely a new favorite! Food is Fantastic and staff is so sweet! 10 out of 10 recommend!!

The food at Vernon's is always AMAZING! Whether dining in and enjoying the atmosphere or picking up to eat at home, it is always our "go to" for BBQ! read more

Wow! Don't go here and waste your time and money. We came here because of the playground slash toys near the patio. The toys are all broken and very outdated. No one in their right mind would buy the toys the way they look at this place. All the balls the kids could play with were deflated. Plus it doesn't look like they have mowed or blown the play area for quite a while. The food was just ok. Hoping they buy new play toys are hire someone keep up with the lawn maintenance in the playground area. We won't be back until they fix this problem and the food is better than ok for 12 dollars a plate. read more

I snuck in for a quick lunch the other day at Vernon's Kuntry BBQ. It's located on the right-hand side of 105 as you head West out of Conroe, TX towards Montgomery, TX. It has a big yellow sign that can't be missed. The parking lot was packed and there was a line for food. Must be a good sign. Good- Tons of options, french fries, and tater tots that certainly don't disappoint! I ordered the BBQ beef sandwich. It had good flavor, but not too bold, so I had to add a little kick to mine and my friend order the grilled chicken sandwich with bacon YUM! Be prepared to wait when they are busy. It's a small local's joint. * Did you know??? You can set up a tab and pay Monthly. Perfect for teenagers and regulars. * Sweet Tea- AHHH, the glories of Southern style sweet tea!!! Seconds on the lips... * Casual, cozy, and filled with quirky decor, but you can also sit outside when the weather is nice. Bad - Parking can be a bit strangled because there aren't that many spots, but it's totally worth the hassles to at least compare the BBQ. I would give them a solid 2.5 RIBS out of 5 for the BBQ beef sandwich. Ugly- The bathrooms are frightening! read more

Vernon's Kuntry Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Conroe, Texas

My husband and I were hoping this would be an amazing place with amazing country bbq... the brisket was chewy. Yuck! The girls at the front couldn't help us at all. The potato salad was more like mashed potatoes with mustard. Will never go back, will never recommend. read more

Had the same meal as take out three times in the last few months. Always delicious. I order the 2-meat meal with Ribs and Brisket. Tender and smoky meats... Mmmmm. I like the bbq sauce too - not too spicy or vinegary. The beans are good and not too salty. The potato salad has a nice texture with small chunks. I would prefer a tad less mustard, but still tasty. It comes with all the fixins (Pickle/onion/bread). The staff is very friendly and helpful. I like the buckets of fresh peanuts on the tables. Looks like a rustic little Texas roadhouse. Tons of choices on the menu. It is always busy, but never a long wait. My go-to for Barbecue. read more

Vernon's Kuntry Bar-B-Que - 2-meat platter with Brisket & Ribs. Yumm!! - Barbeque Near Me - Conroe, Texas

This is getting to be a habit. We stop by Vernon's more and more. The food is always great and we try new things all the time. Burgers are some of the best.

Vernon's Kuntry Bar-B-Que - Counter - Barbeque Near Me - Conroe, Texas

We went to Vernon's BBQ on 3/13/24 and I ordered a Jr Hamburger and Fries. My hamburger was medium rare and I asked for it to be cooked more. The cashier took my Hamburger back and in just a minute or two brought it back out and it was still not cooked. I asked her again to have it cooked more. This time she takes it back in just another minute brings it back out and the bun was cut in half and I asked her who cut my hamburger in half and she said no ma'am that's your same bun you had cut. She said the cook just took the patty off your bun and then put it back on it. The hamburger was still not cooked and wasn't even a FULL patty now. This cook just did not want to give me a Hamburger that was not Medium Rare I guess. At this point I just gave up and did not eat the Hamburger. We eat here often but will not be back after the way we were treated. The cashier was very nice and apologized and said I would be mad also if this happened to me. She knew the cook just wasn't going to give me a Hamburger that wasn't medium rare. Several of us go to Vernon's and after I told them about my experience they were in agreement with me that we will need to find a New Place to get us a Hamburger - We are Seniors and don't have money to waste on food. read more

Ok, first the name!!!! The food looks amazing, great beer selection, did I mention The name!! More later!! read more

Our first time here. Excellent food! Lots of meat for the price. Great, friendly service! Definitely a keeper for us! We will be back. read more

Worst service ever . Front staff are very irresponsible and don't care about doing their jobs , placed an order with the young red head lady and she acted like it was a bother to take my order , then after waiting 30 minutes for our order they never put our ticket in to make it . Very very poor service . I would not recommend this place to anyone . Please save your money and go to a restaurant that values your patronage .This place is trash . read more

Perfect weather to eat on their patio. Great food! Potato balls were fantastic. Can't wait to go back and try more of everything!

Excellent bbq, staff polite and prices just right. The bbq plate is more than enough to fill you up

We asked for a couple pounds of their extra lean brisket to go, but I don't think they knew or heard the words, "extra lean." Each slice had about half inch of blubbery fat and gristle, plus no smokey flavor. Even the bbq sauce was way too vinegary. We won't be back! read more

My wife and I have eaten here a few time. The people that work here are some of the nicest folks around. The ladies taking the orders always have a smile on. They are pleasant to everyone it seemed like to us. We both enjoyed our meal and time here. I'd highly recommend this BBQ restaurant read more

BBQ and fried mushrooms were pretty good. I like onions on my sandwich, but not when they are almost an inch thick... Outdoor area for the kids to play. Covered outdoor area to eat. Restrooms located outside in the backside of the restaurant. Employees were friendly. read more

Vernon's Kuntry Bar-B-Que - Outdoor seating - Barbeque Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Love, love, love this place! Great stuffed baked potatoes, juicy BBQ, homemade tamales... Over the many years they've been in Conroe, I've tried everything and never been disappointed or hungry when finished. Nothing fancy, peanuts on the tables, nice outside patio. read more

Great Place for BBQ & Much More. Great atmosphere and Great People. Get here with time to spare for some great food.

So disappointing, can't rank 0 stars but if I could I would. I went with my family and ordered brisket and ribs, and we all got so unbelievably sick that night. The meat did not taste fresh, the vegetables tasted unseasoned and right out of a can. Don't recommend at all. read more

We just moved to Conroe and decided to try Vernons gor our bbq fix. First off the Customer service was great. It was so good it landed them an extra star. I ordered a 3 meat plate with Cole Slaw and potatoe salad. The sides were fantastic..no complaints on those. The ribs were tender and flavorful but not enough smoke for my liking and kind of small. My Brisket was a little bry but my wifes was a little fattier and moist but both had good smoke flavor. The sausage on the other hand tasted boiled no color on the outside like it was never smoked..it was seriously underwhelming. Over all though decent experience. read more

Don't know what happened to this place but me and my wife use to love coming here. Had great food and service but today couldn't even get food cuz the ladies were so worried about getting ready to close they didn't put our order up. And after we saw them find it and hang it up the dudes in the kitchen hadn't even started on cooking anything and when we asked for a refund they continued to lie saying the stove was broken after we watch three different orders come out before ours! Never have had this terrible of service from Vernon's! Pathetic! I would of understood if they told me they forgot to hang it up and apologized but instead lied straight to my face! read more

I've been coming to Vernon's for years upon years. Outstanding BBQ and if you are a long term resident of the Conroe area, you will likely run into a friend or two dining while you are there. If not from this area, you'll likely make a new friend or two. read more

Great BBQ joint. The ribs were amazing and the brisket was good. I had coleslaw and fried okra for sides, which were both terrific. The service was fast and friendly. I will be going back. The dining room was full on a Monday which is always a good sign. read more

Was looking for good home cooking and good bbq. Did not find it here. We arrived around 6pm and the place was not busy at all. Ordered two meat/two sides the brisket was dry and had no flavor along with being cold. Sausage was the same way. My daughters chopped beef sandwich was dripping with bbq sauce and was served cold. The sides were green beans and were slimy and had no flavor. Truly disappointed in the experience. read more

In from out of town to enjoy some quality Texan BBQ! This place was recommended by a local and what a great suggestion!! The sausage was splendid, the tri tip okay (not a big fan in general) and the side dishes delightful. My only suggestion would be pulled/shredded pork or beef. Maybe as a SoCal visitor there are some innuendoes I'm missing but I thought that would have been an option. Flavor, cost and experience wise it was on point! read more

Had Vernons for my brother n laws birthday. Friendly staff and cool little joint to hang out in while we waited. We've eaten at Vernon's Kuntry Catfish before and love it, but this BBQ is great too. We had a couple of burgers, a pound of brisket, corn, beans and a few other things. Loved it! Only complaint is that they ain't got corn bread. read more

A lot of bugs, I mean a lot. Food was terrible not like the last time I'd been. Got food poisoning. And found hair in food.

The Brisket was nice, but is sold with no bark!! They shave off the best bit, so if you like your brisket bark, keep driving, you'll be heart broken. read more

The restaurant is clean The service is good The prices are reasonable The fries are fresh cut I ordered CFS The meat was tender and perfectly cooked The breading was crispy The gravy was thick and creamy The steak didn't taste like it was seasoned at all. The gravy had very little taste. My GF had CFC The chicken was perfectly cooked and had no seasoning in both the breading and the meat. They definitely have the texture nailed but they are noticeably conservative on seasoning. I'm not sure if I will go back but I'm curious about the rest of the menu My jury is still out read more

We seen a post from Montgomery County about Vernon's. So we drove an hour tonight to try them. We ordered to steak dinners. One rare and one medium. They both came out well done and cold. Our daughter's chicken was cold also. I understand that bad nights happen. For a $90.00 tab it should have been a lot better. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my wife. BBQ Brisket platter with 2 sides , awesome! Sauce is sweet! My wife had Tuesday Special, chopped Beef sandwich & 2 sides, delicious. Order at counter was simple quick and easy. Friendly and beautiful staff. Lovely associates bring your food to the table. Great atmosphere, family friendly and outdoor seating too! We'll be back! read more
