“I met the new owner Justin @ Ryan’s Smokehouse, He was absolutely “Right On It” with incredible Bbq, I had not visited since new ownership took place, But I will tell you all I highly recommend Ryan’s ! The sliced brisket was tender with a perfect smoked flavor, very tender and juicy ! I also ordered 3 loaded baked potato’s with Sliced Brisket on Top @ $12 each, Outstanding & very reasonably priced. Portions were huge….. The bbq sauce was really great too, You definitely have my support & will tell all my family & friends about Ryan’s Smokehouse. Well Done !“

“This place is beyond amazing!!! These pork belly burnt ends got me coming back every day!!! Customer service is second to none!! Where else you going to get great BBQ and a free beer? Run don’t walk but leave me some pork belly, please.“

“They catered a celebration of life we had today. All the food was fantastic. The ribs were perhaps the best I have had in a long time. 9 out of 10. The only issue was we asked for half white bread and half rolls and only got bread. But that was the only misstep. Everything else was excellent. Everyone was more than pleased. We passed out some business cards. You will get some more business from this. Thanks you for a great experience.“

“Great find! friendly staff and Amazing bbq!“

“For gluten-free peeps: Service was quick and food was good. I am gluten-free and I felt safe eating BBQ and coleslaw. It was my fault I should have asked if the coleslaw was gluten-free but I never in my life would expect ramen noodles in my coleslaw. So if you are gluten-free make sure to ask or let them know.“

“Unless they are out of it, you know exactly how it's going to be from one Rudy's to the next. There barbecue is good just not amazing.

Prices are kinda high for the amount they turn over especially when you compare to the local mom pop barbecue shops.“

“You need to be prepared to be in line at least 15 min. This is a very popular and nice place. I ate here on my trip to Houston wanting to have a very local and unique Barbecue experience and this place did not disappoint. You would probably find the place very interesting since they have a lot of classic/old items interesting to see, this resembles like a museum inside the restaurant. Very unique, original and tasty. Well recommended.“

“DELICIOUS FOOD AND VERY SWEET PEOPLE. FOUND MY NEW FAVORITE BBQ SPOT!“

“If you don’t know, you definitely need to come try it. This place beats any BBQ around. Recommend 💯“

“It was my first time, but the food is delicious.“

“OMG! This place is s solid 5! It's small, tucked away off the beaten path, but this is a MUST do for dinner. They close at 7, so go early! You will not be disappointed. The prices are incredibly reasonable considering the amount and quality of food you get! The meat was cooked to perfection... probably the best steaks we have had in a long time! Brisket and turkey were fall-apart tender! The sides were delish... total comfort food!“

“I judge by sliced brisket anytime I go for BBQ and I love theirs! The sides were also good. My friends both got BBQ sandwiches and didn't care for the bun so that's why the food isn't a 5 star also. I'll be a regular customer here and will recommend it to others.“

“Our first time trying Andy’s! We give you the highest review ever! 20 out of 10! We will definitely be referring you to all our family and friends! Thank you, Norma Gonzales“

“For gluten-free peeps: Service was quick and food was good. I am gluten-free and I felt safe eating BBQ and coleslaw. It was my fault I should have asked if the coleslaw was gluten-free but I never in my life would expect ramen noodles in my coleslaw. So if you are gluten-free make sure to ask or let them know.“

“I picked up BBQ fries(hand cut fries with chopped beef and cheese on them), a sliced beef sandwich, and a sausage sandwich for my family to try. Everything was delicious!! Nobody complained!! The prices were very good and you got your money’s worth!! We will be back!! 😋“

“Best Turkey legs on the south side of town. If you are looking for the “meat falling off the bone” experience, then this is the place for you. Service has always been quick and amazing. Verdin BBQ offers so many different items and every one of them has been a hit. Definitely give them a follow to keep up with their menu rotation.“

“buena la comida, que aquí se vende,“

“Everything that I have (ribs, sausage, chicken and deer sausage) tried has been delicious! The owners and workers are very personable and friendly. I wish them continued success in their business!“

“Great local establishment with good food and serious portions.“

“So yummy! The baked potato was huge-had to break it up into two meals. My husband and daughter got ribs and brisket. The meat was so tender and full of flavor. They got fried rice and beans for sides. Everything was great. Giving Killens a run for their money. We’ll be back soon🤗“

“We went for my grandaughters birthday!! We had a great time, and the food was delicious’n“

“I stumbled across this place last week and ordered food. Nothing ordered was left uneaten. I highly recommend their beef brisket sandwich, and the chopped beef sandwich. If you're having a craving for some good smoked BBQ, don't hesitate to order here.

The guys at the register taking and making your order have been doing this far too long, they're very nice and friendly and experienced. The best thing about eating here, the prices are very reasonable.“

“Unfortunately today the kitchen was very slow. We sat there for almost an hour before we got our food. The food was good and the waitress was good“

“Newbies to Korean BBQ. The CHEF was AMAZING!! Not only did he come over to our table, he cooked all of our food on the hot plate and explained all the food, flavors and how to cook it ourselves next time. Best experience I’ve had in awhile eating out!“

“Old Fashion BBQ on the Southside. It was our first visit. We ordered Link Dinner, Chopped Beef Sandwich, Homemade Chili and Vanilla Cake. The meat is very good and THAT SMOKE can be tasted before you even place the food in your mouth! Best Kept Secret: Homemade Chili. I love their bbq however their Chili is off the chain!😋 We have been searching for BBQ in Houston that tasted like 'what we grew up eating'... and they nailed it. Friendly staff... We will return!“

“I always have a fantastic experience at Big Horn in Santa Fe, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I arrive,I am always impressed by how clean and well-kept the entire facility is. The pumps are spotless, and the convenience store is bright, organized, and welcoming. What truly makes these visit stand out, though, is the exceptional customer service. The staff goes above and beyond to make me feel valued, but the real highlight is the manager, Veronica. She is incredibly friendly, professional, and makes sure everything is running smoothly. It's clear that she leads by example, as the entire team reflects her positive attitude and dedication to service. If you're looking for a place with top-notch service and a clean, comfortable environment, this is the spot!“

“Always delicious anytime we come. Fresh food, and great service! Ask for Sasha, she's amazing! #TeamSasha“

“Been eating here since 1973 when chopped beef sandwich was 95 cents“

“excelente comida la mejor 🙌 👍 de Houston texas“

“Ambiance: Brewery in a business park that is western themed with a small patio area and indoor dining area perfect for large groups, celebrations, or just hanging out! Pet friendly! Great beers & creative flavors! The Tasty AF and Ridiculous AF are all so so good!

Fun spot with an area of games to grab. Friendly and fast service. Beer to go options available. Clean & large space! Saloon Door Brewing is one of our favorites when we're in the area and to buy to-go cans from H-E-B.“

“Excellent experience! From the moment we arrived, the service was friendly and quick. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and served in generous portions. The atmosphere is cozy and clean—perfect for coming with family or friends. Definitely one of those places worth visiting again and again. Highly recommended!“

“Looks like they may have lost their sign in a storm, so aim for the Indian supermarket next door!!GREAT food, but just getting started as a restaurant. This used to be Star Grill and I expect under new management. The staff were very friendly/helpful and the food was GREAT.There was not such a variety of menu choices as I might expect (e.g. no potato/cauliflower type dishes), but what we had tasted wonderful.The atmosphere is a work-in-progress, I hope they lose the canned sodas and refrigerator machines in favor of a more traditional style dine-in restaurant.Unusual to see a table-tennis table in the corner, but I expect it may be a leftover from the previous version of this place.The butter chicken was perfect, the biryani wonderful - but be conscious that some chicken dishes have bone-in chicken pieces.Go for the food, not the decor!“

“I had a doctors appointment today and for lunch I decided to come here. I ordered a sirloin, salad, and fries. It’s was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, everyone was nice, respectful, and made me feel welcomed. I suggest this place.“

“The Elote Fries were AMAZING!!!!!!!! OMG…glad I found them on Door Dash!!!!!“
