Best BBQ in Town

by pamelajams at Citysearch

Best BBQ in town with all the trimmings. Great place for holiday/party catering needs. Central Texas has catered our holiday parties for over 10 yrs. When ever you drive down HWY 518 past Central Texas and smell the smokehouse your mouth waters!

• Cons: Long lines because the food is so good!

Best barbeque EVER

by GreenEyes84 at Citysearch

This is hands down the best barbeque I've ever eaten. I highly recommend the brisket and the new potatoes. If you have a little extra room, go for the chocolate pudding cake or bread pudding for dessert.

If you go on a Friday or Saturday night, expect a long line. Parking can be tough at times too.

• Pros: GREAT food!
• Cons: Parking, long line on weekends

BBQ heaven

by sludwick at Citysearch

Central Texas STYLE BBQ has been owned and operated by one family for over 30 years in Pearland. I highly recommend this for a family style (young children, adults and older adults) as a wonderful eating establishment. The homemade desserts, the wonderful vegetables and all the trimmings for a great

BBQ experience...a little Cuban influence is abundant , as the owner is originally from Cuba...great food

and great fun....enjoy (and don't let the line scare you off, it moves fast and if you are really in a hurry

just call it in...)

• Pros: great food at great prices
• Cons: parking is limited

Lots of food for you $

by kasinda at Citysearch

I bring all my new friends here to eat. They just can't believe the massive portions and how inexpensive it is. Anyway, all my new friends soon become old ones and we all eat there often. Some even come back from out of state to eat here. I think that says alot.

I've never had a bad experience and I highly recommend it to everyone.

It's not your typical Texas barbeque, it's better!

• Pros: Big portions, inexpensive
• Cons: Sm parking lot, but we all make do.

Serving up hickory-smoked meats and barbecue by the pound since 1970.

In Short
The scent of hickory-smoked meats has been luring locals and devotees alike for more than 30 years. The main dining room is a cozy, carpeted amalgam of down home décor and intimate photos of family and friends. The menu includes chicken, jalapeno sausage, ham, turkey breast, chopped beef and tender brisket all prepared in the outdoor pit. Other menu favorites include fresh-made sides, sandwiches, salads and hearty baked potatoes with your choice of topping.

Great BBQ place with great selection

by goldifox5 at Citysearch

I have been coming to this place for years, and I recommend it to anyone who wants good, home-cooked food. They have lots of meats and sides to choose from, not to mention *really* good cobblers. In the winter, they even make chili when it's really cold outside. And if you get there and there's a really long line, you'll be surprised how fast it actually moves. Yeah, the parking is not so great, but you can park in the surrounding areas if it comes down to it.

• Pros: inexpensive, comfy atmosphere

Central Texas is the absolute best place in Pearland to eat. The food is all fresh, down to the salad (yes, they even have salad). In the summer months, they have fresh corn on the cob and fresh squash. Try the homemade bread pudding and banana pudding. I have been there many times and have never experienced a problem placing my order or getting the employees to understand what I was ordering. The service is great and the place is clean. There may be a parking problem but that is only because the restaurant is always busy and they don't have much parking space. I would recomment this restaurant to anyone and everyone.

• Pros: family restaurant, clean, good service
• Cons: parking, closes at 9pm
