    Storefront POV
    Ben M.

    It's the Hungry Hardhats first day in Texas City and we tried Wrice BBQ. To be honest I was not impressed with the customer service nor the BBQ. Definitely not a return customer but I would like to hear from my fellow Yelpers to see what they have to say or if they recommend another local spot for BBQ. So let it be written... So let it be SMOKED.

    Just came here today and was a bit disappointed, must been an off day for the Wrice establishment but I ordered moist sliced brisket and got the opposite of that. Hopefully next time my brisket will be more juicy and tender because these brisket sandwiches ain't cheap but can't blame them since everything has gone up in the last few years but in the end the sandwich must be right. Service was great and the place looked great also. Overall will give them another try but not anytime soon.

    First time stopping by and the food is amazing! Tender, juicy, smokey, and just the right flavor. Highly recommend!

    Food and service was great. The BBQ sandwich was perfect size and delicious. The baked beans and potato salad was perfect potion for me. It's a perfect spot for a quick bite or to hang around for a bit. I liked the atmosphere.

    I took the hit so you don't have to. Look at how they charge a additional 2 dollars per side on the combo plate..smh

My favorite were the ribs. Cooked perfectly. Tender but not falling off the bone. Well trimmed. Great flavor. Basted lightly in a bbq sauce. The brisket was good and appears to be their most popular item (they run out frequently). But I've had other brisket that I like better. I like their bbq sauce and they gave an ample portion on the side. It's a small place and there is no eating inside although they have outdoor seating. It's counter service. And a big plus is you watch them carve and weigh your meat while the person at register keys in exactly what you owe. Process was friendly and expedient. I've been here a couple of times before and will definitely be back.

I had to stop myself multiple times from going back to make sure we could try the other places on our list but this one was by far one of my absolute favorites. The service was amazing and very fast and while we didn't eat here the area to eat here was very cute and outside, which in Texas is my favorite. If you ever have the opportunity to stop in here and grab some tamales and brisket I HIGHLY recommend it!

    Why 5 stars? Because the brisket sandwich could not have hit the spot more…read more --- --- --- I've had Smokin Z's bookmarked for a long time, but even though I go to Friendswood a lot to visit family, this is still just a bit too much of a hike from there. So when I was looking for a place to eat somewhere on our trip home from Galveston, I knew this might be my best chance. I'd originally planned on just ordering a simple brisket sandwich, but as I looked at the menu, I felt like I wanted one of everything. I was really tempted to order a loaded baked potato, but because I'd be eating it in the car, I figured that might be a bit too messy, so I eventually went with Plan A. One bite into that thing and I knew I made the right decision. It was so juicy and so flavorful. Just the perfect lunch for what I was craving. And then to make this love story even better, later that day, I went to HEB. My HEB happens to have one of those BBQ restaurants inside of it, and it's never open when I visit because I always do my grocery shopping in the morning. But this particular visit was at about 4pm. And I opted to order the exact same thing: a brisket sandwich, so that I could compare the two. I'm sure this is not news to Smokin Z's or their fans, but this was the most lopsided competition I've experienced in a while. My visit to HEB only made me appreciate Smokin Z's more, as the HEB version tasted like something made by my 11 year old nephew. I'm embarrassed I even put the two head to head, as we're talking about a totally different weight class here.

She asked us if we were picking up an order or dinning there. We told her we were eating there and she told us to sit at a table behind us. I noticed that when we walked in it was kind of small but it worked for us. We grabbed some menus to look at and then sat down. After we sat down the same woman came over and asked us what we wanted to drink. We asked for bottled water. She asked if we wanted ice and we said yes so she brought out the ice in cups and then she brought us our waters. Then she asked us what we wanted to order. We barely had time to look at the menu but we had an idea of what we wanted so we just ordered. I ordered a brisket sandwich and some potato salad. Apparently the meat comes separate from the bread and you make your sandwich. She asked us what kind of bread we wanted. White or wheat and we said white. I assumed we would get our bread first but we got it last. She brought the potato salad first. It was good. It didn't have big potatoes as it seemed more creamy. It had a mustardy flavor which I liked. The brisket was okay. It was a little dry but it was filling. The BBQ sauce was thin but good. Adding it to the brisket gave the meat a little flavor. The bread that they gave us was regular white sandwich bread slices. This came last to our table. We probably waited around 5 minutes for regular white sandwich bread after getting our potato salad and brisket. I tried one of the Riblets. It was small with a lot of fat and very little meat which made it hard to eat. Overall it was an okay experience. The atmosphere is small, the food is decent, and the service was just okay.

The place is really small, so I'd suggest getting your food to-go. For $21.50, we got the three meat plate (pic attached) For our meats, we got extra lean brisket (too lean, next time I'll get the Leon cut, ribs (really good) and white meat chicken (enjoyed this as well). For our sides we selected turnip greens (decent) and beans (not a fan). It came with bread and onions and pickles. The lady that took our order was very courteous and helpful. There's an article on the wall in the establishment about Leon the owner (pic attached). I've also attached a pic of the menu. All and all, this is very decent bbq and is very reasonably priced relative to other bbq places and other restaurants in general. Good value. I recommend you give it a try.

When I walked in, the place was clean and the aroma of BBQ was smelling really good in the air. The decor was very nice and the owner was even nicer and very welcoming. I went in there only looking for ribs because I have found that a really good rib is hard to find, however, the ribs here were very tasty, a little pricey, but very good. I always say that I don't mind paying extra when the food is as good as the money spent for it. Now, let me tell you that I only purchased a pound of ribs and a quart of Mac and cheese and the M&C was also good. I believe that the young man helping behind the counter was the owner's son so that tells me that the business is family owned, can't go wrong with that. The other sides looked delicious as well but I was not really that hungry for other dishes. I will go back and try the other items on the menu at another time. Now that I know where it is, it will be easy peasy to get there again. Once again, I forgot to take a picture of the food but I will when I go back. Anyway, pull up on em at Luka's Barbecue & Steak and enjoy!
