Nothing fancy, just excellent BBQ. We live in AZ now but I dream of the ribs. Last time we visited Houston, this was our first stop. Try everything, it is all great!

Man food was SO good, affordable and nice customer service! I wish i took pictures of the food. I had ribs, brisket and jalapeño and cheese sausage with spicy corn, cabbage and jalapeño corn bread. I should have put hot sauce on my corn to give it a kick. The corn was fresh, and obviously not frozen or canned and moderately sweet. The cabbage has bacon and bits of sausage in it, which is what was listed on the menu, but I was surprised that there was a bit of a vinegar taste so i liked it better when I had a bite of brisket along with the cabbage on the fork with each bite. It was soooo good. I loved all my meat and the barbecue sauce was good.My husband got the same meat except his sausage was not jalapeño flavored and it tasted average and pretty boring so I was glad I got what I picked. His side of macaroni was not as good as I thought it was going to be and I did not try the pinto beans. The warm large thick cornbread with butter on top was so amazing!! I’m trying to explore more small business barbecue restaurants in right now. This one’s at the top! Next time I want to try the breakfast brisket n egg jalapeño biscuit! Thank you!

This is a very down to earth restaurant. We went on a Saturday night in March and it was pretty quiet. The staff are very polite and provide excellent service. The spare ribs are well seasoned. I recommend the sweet chipotle sauce if you like sauce with your meat. The brisket is well smoked and tender.We tried several sides. The corn with cream is pretty good. The beans, macaroni, and cole slaw are standard fare. Their cornbread is moist with chiles. Their pecan pie is cooked on their pit and has a smokey taste.Overall this is good place to eat.

Wow I’m surprised it’s pretty good here! I ordered the block chopped brisket and the st.louis spare ribs. Price is high like any other bbq. But it comes with good sauce, pickles, jalapeños, and onions. Will be back to try more stuff on the menu.
I had the queso with chips for appetizer, which was good. I had the pulled pork with potato salad and pinto beans. All were delicious! It was nice to not have a hectic atmosphere, and be able to sit down and order.
The contender was fantastic melt in your mouth! The ribs were great also. The three sauces were all good.

Best pit barbecue this side of Texas. The contender is crazy! The service was fast and smooth, and the inside of the restaurant takes you back to an old school barbecue joint somewhere in the middle of nowhere Texas. Can't recommend this place enough!
