Great sauce

by zwilliamson at Citysearch

This is probably my favorite new barbecue joint. The sauce is awesome, and the ribs are pretty darn good as well. How can you not love a place where they serve your food on butcher paper?

• Pros: Great sauce, good BBQ, good sides
• Cons: A little pricey

Good place

by samaustin at Citysearch

To me BBQ is about the sauce and ribs. I like both here, my ribs were very meaty had lots of flavor. I like the sauce but may not be for everyone, it is central texas style. The prices are higher then some but all BBQ places are high now. If you like Luling city BBQ then you will like this place, if you dont then you will not.

• Pros: Ribs...

Houston Barbecue

by wildtxflower at Citysearch

Great look, decor. The meat is FANTASTIC. The sauce is NOT good, it's a bit creepy in fact. Yes I know the history behind this restaurant....doesn't change the taste and texture of the sauce though. Staff is mediocre. Wish they had onion rings.

• Pros: tender beef
• Cons: sauce...YUK

best bbq ever

by karen_venegas at Citysearch

I would have to say this my favorite bbq restaurant. Everythere is there is perfect; from the food to the servers. They are very polite and cut your food just the way you want it. I enjoyed the atmosphere, it's not to loud nor to quiet. The food of course was delicious, I had a jalapeno link with a couple ribs. The sauce just topped everything off. It was great, i would have to say I will be coming back for more.

• Pros: great customer servic, cafeteria style, great sauce
• Cons: bar was a little loud

Best on the West side of town!

by howdy2ya at Citysearch

This is simply the best barbeque on the west side of town. I'm a Memphis gal, longing for something similar to home, but....I can make do on their ribs and smoked chicken. The chicken gets VERY high marks!

The ambience is low-key, low-tech, but...not too...low-brow. An overall, unfussy, place to eat.

Cost is: Medium to Average for Barbeque.

Seat yourself, pour your own soft drink or tea, and listen to the music while you eat.

• Pros: Good Food, Cafeteria Style Serv., Clean and tidy
• Cons: Price, Tables too close, Can get loud

The Scene
The mouthwatering aroma of slow-smoked beef permeates this barbecue joint located south of Memorial in a tiny strip mall. Owners Kurt and Treca Craig ran Luling City Market for more than 15 years before launching this popular West Houston purveyor of Central Texas-style pit barbecue. Inside the massive, oak-door entryway lies a casual, open-kitchen dining room featuring wooden tables, a separate bar area, ceiling fans and TVs galore.

The Food
The savory beef brisket is inexpensive and seasoned to perfection. Other menu highlights include tender pork ribs, mildly seasoned beef sausage and succulent barbecued turkey breast, all served cafeteria-style by the friendly counter staff. Order them a la carte (by weight) or choose from among two-, three- or four-meat combination platters. Barbecue enthusiasts will approve of HBC's flavorful sides, including zesty potato salad and thick-cut coleslaw.

Excellent BBQ Place

by spark1h at Citysearch

The new look outside and the innocuous name scared me off for a while. I believe all the really good bbq joints are old looking places with no decor.(Arthur Bryants of KC). Fortunately, this new place served some of the most tasty bbq I have had in houston. I had the pork ribs and the beef brisket and they were both excellent! If your bbq experience is luthers, papas, and goodes, check it out you will not be disapointed

• Pros: excellent food, good parking
