What's with the tude Thelma
by KendrickR at Citysearch
Thelma, what is your problem? Why are you SO rude? I've been in there a few times and thought maybe you were just having a bad day, but this thing goes deeper than that. It seems you are absolutely miserable...at least that is what is projected by your attitude to your customers, and not just your attitude to the white customers. You're obviously not prejudiced when it comes to being rude to ANY race. Thelma, chill out and be nice. You've got something people want and that is FOOD, GOOD FOOD!!! Don't make people lose their appetites because you've got to cop that sister girl attitude you have going on. I won't be back until I hear you have redeemed yourself.
- Pros: Good food
- Cons: HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

A real Houston Gem
by themistocles at Citysearch
This place is becoming one of my favorite BBQ places in Houston. The lunch crowd is an amazing mix of Houstonians. And Thelma really makes this place. It's just making my mouth water thinking about it.
- Pros: Thelma

Worst Customer Service Ever!!!!
by KevinReshard at Citysearch
Thelma BBQ has the worst customer service ever!!! I had know idea what I was getting myself into. First of all the wait is super long. I waited in line for 30 minutes only to be kicked out once it was my time to order. Yes, kicked out!! Walked up to ask the person at the window(the owner) and ask what was the best thing on the menu because this was my first time coming. She told me I should have been looking at the menu instead of talking on the phone. Then I stated I did look at the menu and didnt know what to order. I stated that she didnt have to be so rude and she cursed at me and then stated that I could spend my money somewhere else and showed me the door. As if I didnt know where the door was, the place is a match box. Try to support black owned businesses and look how you are treated. Themla simple doesnt care about customer service. Apparently neither do her customers. Will never step foot in there AGAIN!
- Pros: Nothing
- Cons: Customer Service
