I was coming from work and on the way I found this place on maps, I chose it because I wanted to eat meat and it was 3 minutes away from my path. It was 4pm and I hadn't had lunch. This is why I was very hungry, to my surprise, as soon as I asked for it, they gave me my plate ? I loved this meal that usually in another restaurant takes an express here and it is really delicious, the meat melts in my mouth. I hope this restaurant does very well and has excellent prices and reviews.

Brisket and sausage were excellent. Beans are just ok. I knew when I saw the firewood stacked outside it was gonna be good.
Looking for BBQ spots and this one popped up. The chopped beef sandwich was great, portion size just right. Fries were hot and crispy, coleslaw was delicious. Prices were good. Will definitely go back!Parking: Parking lot is small, and was a bit tight.

Loved this place for years. It reminds me of the mom and pop spots for a quick and easy sausage wrap in the hill country back before everything was about going to overcrowded boutique bbq places.

THE BEST BBQ in Tomball; If you are wanting real old style bbq than Old Tomball BBQ is for you. They are family operated and owned. They make their own sauce. Country music plays throughout the restaurant. They have a covered patio for outside seating. The restrooms are clean. Every item on the menu is delicious. My family has been eating here since 1994. Stop in and try it for yourself. You will love it.

Went on a Sunday. The place has the feel of authentic 'hole in the wall' BBQ shack. I got a 3 meat plate with 2 sides. The brisket was above average. Moist and the fat melted in your mouth. Had decent flavor but definitely benefitted from some sauce, which was warmed up and already on the table. The ribs were good. One of mine was from the end and was a little dry and not a lot of meat. The other one had plenty of meat. The meat was tender and came right off the bone, but again was a little lacking in flavor without some added sauce. The spicy sausage was a letdown. It looked really good, but like the ribs was lacking in flavor, even with the jalapenos. The mac and cheese was warm and creamy, with lots of cheese sauce, but nothing else. So, it was kind of plain. Kids will love it though. The fries were really good, made to order, so they came out hot and were well seasoned, but they don't have ketchup in bottles. So, you're forced to tear and squeeze little packets of ketchup, which I hate! The wife got potato salad and fried okra. Both of those were decent, but she wanted ranch for the okra and they didn't have any. As for the service, everyone was friendly enough, but they have a sign that says to leave your trays on the table, but they don't clean the tables quickly enough, and we saw several frustrated customers trying to find a table inside, because they were all dirty. They have an outdoor seating area, but I can't speak for that part. Price ended up being a little over $40, for 2 people. All in all, nothing about this place was bad, but nothing really makes me want to go back at that price. There are better BBQ places in the area.

I pulled up around 11:30 am. Had a friend tell me that I needed to try this BBQ place out. So glad I did ?. The food was Great I ordered 1 Meat and 2 Sides for 13$. I got Sliced Brisket, Beans, and French Fries ?. It comes with a couple of slices of bread ?, pickles ?, Onion , jalapeno ?️, and BBQ Sauce is on the Table HOT and steaming. The Brisket was Moist and had great flavor with or without BBQ Sauce. The beans seem to have a great smoke taste and not sweet at all. The Fries ? were crispy and had a unique seasoning. The atmosphere is your typical Texans country old Barn look nice and cozy, they even have a back patio to go out and enjoy the weather ?️ when it's good ?. One thing I will say that needs improvement is the Bathroom situation it's only one toilet and the door don't close all the way so the people outside can see you thru the crack. Also there is NO HAND SOAP, there is a soap dispenser but that don't work. Overall had a good time here at Old Tomball BBQ, I will come back when in the area.
