I ordered the brisket tacos on a special. It’s not bad but not fantastic. The service was average. May return again, but only for the breakfast. The brisket inside of the breakfast taco was a little on the dry side. Drowned it in salsa!

At least smile while you rip me off. I see why these locations are shutting down all over Houston. Mediocre food at best at a franklins price. $16 for 2 meats 2 sides, not an issue if the quality or portions were adequate. 7 bites of sausage and 6 slices of the thinnest brisket ever cut. Spend your money elsewhere. Way better options.

This location in particular is the worst. Ordered the daily special not realizing it wasn't an either or situation and ended up with pork. After realizing this and returning to the restaurant, I was met with attitude and push back from the older lady and even with replacing my po boy didn't include the fries. Again I said something and had to deal with an attitude. Food is not that good to deal with unprofessionalism.

Talk about napkin police, they give you one napkin for all your food and when you ask for another one they give you a hard time.

The burger is pretty good. Service is fast. One of the better spots in the tunnels.

Been eating catfish basket here for over two years, about once a month. It's decent but today the fries were hard as sticks (stale refried). And coleslaw which I usually like felt a little poor too. No carrot, a little wilted/stale. If I get this one more time then I'm afraid I will no longer visit this place even as a backup lunch place.

Lady in the morning always has attitude and it's not willing to change anything on a plate. I've gone to others ottos and the service is way better with staff willing to get the food the way you want it.

Guy behind the counter was great we were late for breakfast by a half hour still cooked it for us. Try the hickory burger fantastic
I used to frequent another one downtown. Not only do I have to check my food to make sure it’s right or if all my items are there, but the employees have a hard time understanding my order. I don’t have much time to go pick up my order, but it’s never right. The Travis tower location is horrible. My company has many visitors that request bbq, I send them to some other restaurant that’s further away, because I don’t trust your employees to do their orders correctly. I give them only 2 stars because I like their food. That location needs a total overhaul. Would not ever recommend until things change there

They don't cook food, they just put them together and call it a meal and sell them at an insane prices. The BBQ isn't even grilled, it's baked, that's offensive for $13

I'm in Houston for a business trip.Wanted BBQ for lunch that was downtown and walkable. Ended up here. Got the 1951 special. Two meats, two sides, fountain drink. Got the brisket, pork ribs, potato salad and the broccoli cheese bake. The brisket showed a nice smoke ring and a nice beefy flavor. The pork ribs had a good smoke tang but had been sitting in the pan for awhile and were dried out. The sides? Oof. Potato salad was made from frozen, bagged potato cubes, overly sweet with negligible flavor and no crunch. Broccoli (?) Cheese bake maybe had a broccoli stalk waved over the stock pot while being prepared. None found in my side. Powdered cheese, lots of rice. Gloppy. The BBQ sauce? Ketchup, tomato sauce, sugar, more sugar, maybe some worsterchestershire sauce. Dunno. Not good.
