Space Craft BBQ (@ MOTU Space Port)

Update:While I miss the turkey and hope it is back soon, I thought I'd update my review as I tried the chicken thighs today and they were absolutely heavenly! Great job Ben & co!! Hands down the best BBQ in our area

Service is the bomb! Super friendly and very helpful!! Tried several items on the menu today and have to say that their chicken is delicious and the turkey breast is the best I've ever had anywhere hands down; it's actually moist and flavorful!! The brisket I would say is the best in the Clear Lake / Webster area, but to be honest I don't care for any of the brisket at any of the locations anywhere around us. LOL My favorite brisket spot in Texas used to be Nathan's in Brenham until Nathan sold it and whoever took it over doesn't use his same cooking method because it is nowhere near as good as it was. My favorite brisket now is at Pablo's barbecue in Lufkin as he now has what Nathan's used to , which is brisket that is so good you don't need any sauce the flavor is that awesome! Tried all of their Space Craft sides and was excited to see some healthier takes on your typical barbecue sides . Everything sounded so interesting we wanted to try them all. LOL The Thai Fighter potato salad and watermelon salad are my favorites. Would like to see maybe another sauce option so that you have at least a couple of things to pick from. Personally I'm fond of Carolina style, or mustard-based sauces and spicy sauces with just a hint of sweet. Highly recommend everyone give this place a try. Thank you for a lovely first experience.

visit update: Tried the pork ribs today--very tasty, best around here. Turkey has been AWESOME every time!!

Update, the Travis Barker chicken drumstick meal is YUMMY!!

In town for a funeral and knew we needed bbq for lunch. We found the reviews for this place and had to try it. Thankfully they weren’t out of anything when we got there and among three of us, we tried brisket, ribs, and chicken, the potato salad, slaw, and fruit, and of course the moon pies.

Everything was absolutely delicious! The meat was all tender and juicy, the slaw was crisp and refreshing, and rhe potato salad was a delicious twist on a classic. And the moon pies were out of this world!

Obi took our orders and served us and came out to chat about our visit and the food. It added to our delightful lunch experience and we were all so happy that we chose this for lunch! We’re hoping to make it back a second time before heading back home.

I didn’t get any pics because I was busy enjoying everything. Sorry not sorry!

Update: we managed to go back on our way to the airport and I actually managed to snap a pic! It includes moon pies, the fruit salad, slaw, a sample of burnt ends (I think? It was delicious!), and then brisket and a chicken thigh for the main meats. The bbq sauce is maybe the best of this type I’ve ever had. So awesome and tasty!!

Food was absolutely amazing. There’s a reason why everything they have is usually sold out!

I had the brisket and never in my life have I seen it look like it’s melting. Absolute perfection. Glad I found this place. 10/10 I recommend.

The potato salad had so many peanuts. Yes, peanuts. Like they bought em wholesale and needed to find a use for them . I get that it’s supposed to be Thai, but every mouthful had peanuts in it. It felt wrong. The beans were solid, and the brisket was good even though I ordered lean and still had to peel off quite a bit of fat. The chicken was bland but my toddlers liked it. The moon pies were absolutely fantastic. Definitely the winner. Portion sizes on the sides were generous, but the potato salad was inedible (in my opinion), and went to waste.

I’ve been wanting to try Space Craft BBQ for a while, and I finally stopped by this past Sunday. Let me just say, I’ve always thought the Clear Lake area was missing truly great BBQ — but that’s no longer the case.

The staff was super friendly, and the food smelled so good I couldn’t resist digging in right there in the parking lot. One bite, and I was blown away — so much so that I actually called them on my way home just to say it was the best BBQ I’ve had in years.

And it doesn’t end with the BBQ — the potato salad is incredible, and their pickles? If they ever sold them by the gallon, I’d be first in line.

Space Craft BBQ is the real deal — true Texas BBQ with a fun twist. Keep it up, y’all, you’ve definitely gained a loyal fan!

Obi is the best. He came out and visited with us, even though they were closing up for the day. Loved the Texas Bahn mi and my husband had the Machete. Both were perfect. Definitely coming back. Again. And again.

Excellent BBQ. Must try. Nothing like it in League City area. Sliced BBQ sandwich is a must try.

The food and the service was very good. I did not need a fork, the ribs and the brisket was tasty and tender. The cool salad was very refreshing, and the beans was good also. I will be back again and again. The customer service was excellent.

Co pilot took us to this food truck when we asked for the best bbq food in Houston and it wasn’t wrong. Delicious meat and sides, super friendly team. Simple set up with one small table so most people take away but we had a super fun picnic type lunch.
