This place was amazing! The food absolutely tasted really good, we walked in based on reviews and I must say everything was true. This place was very unique and good. The food was very good, excellent presentation and the service was one of the best. We had the T-N-T sandwich and the baked potato with pineapple tea it was delicious

I’ve been in Houston for 2 weeks now for work. THIS is the best meal I’ve had during my time here. The TNT sandwich was complete dynamite! The brisket has a smokiness that soothes, the coleslaw is perfect in sweetness and texture, and the pulled pork adds a solid support to the mix. And I’ve never had creamed spinach that tasted so good! Plus, the staff is so friendly, they make you feel like family. CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!

It’s really hard to find a place that not only has great food but great customer service as well. Every time I come in the owners ask me about my day and truly make me feel welcomed as a guest. They are inviting, they are kind, and coming here truly does make my day better. It’s hard to decide what’s better, the food or the people. The sausage is to die for and the sides are all good!!!!!!!!! But the ribs baby… the ribs keep you coming back. Be sure to try the pineapple tea! I tried it today and it was absolutely delicious. If you’re debating trying this place out, think no more.

We had the ribs, chicken, spinach, and coleslaw. All I can say is WOW! The meat had lots of flavor- really don’t need to use the bbq sauce. That said, their sauce is REALLY good (best I’ve had in Houston)…

Honestly when I showed up I was worried. Most good BBQ places don’t look like this, but the 2 people working (possible husband/combo) welcomed me in and helped me choose some food. I ended up with the TNT sandwich with Mac and cheese and pineapple tea.

I got the two meat plate and it was so delicious! Brisket was great and the pulled pork was awesome, but the mac and cheese and creamed spinach were the best I’ve ever had! The ladies who worked there were so nice and funny! Can not wait to return!

Great brisket and pulled pork. We had a couple of their baked potatoes and man were they loaded. It was delicious. They also had pineapple sweet tea. Wasn’t sure about it at first but ended up getting 3. Peach cobbler was great as well.

Amazing bbq, and the owners really make you feel like long time friends. Their hospitality was beyond appreciated as a solo traveler. I was waiting for the brewery nearby to open and when I realized I parked in front of a bbq spot I had to stop in. The meats were some of the best I’ve ever had. Mac and cheese was incredible. I also had beans and coleslaw which were equally delicious. Finished with a sweet potato tart. Everything was A1. If I were local, I would absolutely be a regular here.
