Old Bucs BBQ is the best BBQ in the Manvel/West Pearland area. The restaurant itself is a very small shack with a drive-thru. I always go for the brisket, which is always mouthwatering and tender. They also have links, burnt ends (both beef or pork belly) which are amazing. The only gripe about this place is that it’s only opened on the weekend. Hopefully they could be open everyday sometime in the future

My wife and I were at an estate sale in Manvel, and as we were leaving I decided to see if there was anything good to eat that was close. I opened up my Google maps and found out we were several hundred feet away from Old Bucs! We were worried because it was still before 10:30, but apparently they had just opened. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but the family running the place was very friendly. As we were trying to decide what to order, we knew we were going to have brisket, we were offered a sample of the brisket which was very nice. We usually get sausage too, but had read reviews about their pork ribs so got those too . Their meats are sold by the pound, so we got a pound of brisket but they let us just order a rib apiece. For sides we also ordered a personal sized pinto bean and potato salad (again, because of previous reviews). We were asked if we wanted all of the trimmings, and we said yes. Their selection of drinks is fairly limited, they offer bottled drinks and water, but I was happy that their Dr. Pepper is the all cane sugar/glass bottle version. All the food was delicious, and at a better price than a lot of other BBQ joints. We spent just over $20 each, including a tip. Their brisket was very tender and smokey, excellent overall. The ribs might have been better than the brisket. Very tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I actually started my meal by eating one of their pickles, because they looked so good. I was pleasantly surprised that it was sweet/spicy and wished that I had known how good they were beforehand so I could have asked for the extras (although I am sure I probably could have just gone to the counter and asked for more). The potato salad was very creamy and well-seasoned, close to the best I have had with BBQ. The beans were better. Pinto beans are usually fairly boring, but these were not. They were spicy, but not too much, with a nice blend of spices and bacon. This place may not seem like a top notch BBQ joint when you drive up, and it might seem like it’s in the wrong direction from Houston, but if you want some really good ‘que, and at a good price, you might want to head south on Highway 6.

Tried this place for the first time after reading the positive comments. BBQ was very good. I ordered some brisket, pork ribs, and sausage. Along with some potato salad and beans. Prices are on par with most quality bbq restaurants, it is a purchase by the pound place. Meat was juicy and tender (I do admit I prefer a smokier flavor) Beans were delicious, potato salad was a bit sweeter than I prefer but still tasty. Service was good, guys at the counter were friendly and made us feel welcome. I definitely recommend Old Bucs if you’re looking for good BBQ.

A hidden gem in the heart of Manvel. The burnt ends are on another level. Wow. The ribs are fall off the bone tender. The potato salad was great and the beans were even better. I highly recommend Old Bucs for all your weekend BBQ needs. Thanks for making our visit memorable.

Stopped in yesterday after work and got some moist brisket and pork ribs. I’ve eaten here before and the food was great, but yesterday not so much. The brisket was good but the pork ribs were almost inedible. They were dry, and tasted like they had been in the warmer for too long. I decided to get the ribs based on the lady in front of me got some and they looked delicious. Sorry guys, but it was a real letdown.

First time in the area and was looking for some BBQ. Saw the reviews and had to try it out. The people were friendly, helpful in how to order. You order by the pound family style and it did not disappoint. Kids and adults loved the food. The bbq sauce was sweet and yummy. The spice on the BBQ blended great with the sauce. We tried the turkey, brisket, and sausage. The brisket was a bit fatty for me but everyone else loved that as it made it super tender and juicy. The sausage was just right and the turkey had a great spice on the edges. The Mac and cheese and potato salad are made from scratch and very yummy. We will definitely be back.

This time, I went inside for the first time since the pandemic started. The interior layout has been remodeled for streamlining the order process, enhancing the seating area and an all-around updating of the interior. The jukebox with a great selection of tunes is hyuge. And it’s free! I know I’m in the right place when Robert Earl (Houston local) is playing while entering. The owners are friendly and happy to engage in conversation. The kitchen is attentive and always smiling. I love their brisket and the burnt ends aren’t caramelized in some sugary sauce like other places. The jalapeño cheese link was . I definitely recommend a stop here.

Really good BBQ! I like the food and the bottled coke, would be nice to have meal options like 2 meat, 3 meat, instead they sell by the weight, and it’s a bit odd to request a pound of this and a half pound of that. Nonetheless, good food, would like to see rolls over sliced bread, and maybe fountain drinks in the near future. Let’s get open during the week, at least for dinner time. Manvel needs more restaurants and this place has the potential to become a hotspot. Enjoy! Should definitely have TEA!
