West-Houston, Katy, Fulshear / Richmond area folks, GO and support this local business!! I never visited them before when they were in a small space off of Mason Rd. This new place (behind Katy Mills Mall) has not been busy the two times we went. Been twice. Brisket was great. The sides were great. The portion sizes were large. BBQ always feels too expensive, however, I was content with all we got for the price paid. At least two meals worth with the leftovers we took home.
Our annual barbecue safari took us to 12 different barbecue joints in the Houston area in four days. Brett's was the best--so good that we had to come back and eat here again before catching our flight home. At each joint, we only order meat--brisket (moist), ribs (pork and beef), and sausage. All of the meats we tried at Brett's, along with the hamburger, which Brett recommended, were excellent. The staff, starting with Brett, is very friendly.
Great experience. Excellent brisket. Fast. Friendly, clean. Would return again and recommend.
This has to be some of the tastiest bbq I have ever had in my life. The people are friendly and the environment is chill. I loved the set up and the food is even better than i expected. My first trip there but not my last.
Best BBQ IN KATY!! Woohoo! Mac and cheese was thick and delicious. Service was speedy and kind. Brisket needs the sauce on top! I love the TexMex menu too. Brisket nachos were delish and hubby loved the big boy burrito. Bring your appetite for these huge portions. I love the authentic Texan feel of Mexican ranchera in the background and wood.:-)
Visited another Top 50 joint today. It was a quiet rainy Friday afternoon (1/26/24) around 4pm. No line at all. Maybe 4 guests in the establishment. Decided to venture out from traditional bbq meat ordering. My wife got the smoked chicken, fried okra, caprese sausage (on special) and cornbread casserole. I went for their 9 napkin brisket burger (comes with tots) and fried mac and cheese balls. Btw they have an excellent bourbon selection at the bar. Some Bookers, all the top shelf Garrison Bros., Stagg, Weller 12 and Blantons STFB. And our bartender was awesome! So the smoked chicken looked amazing and smelled super smoky. Meat was nice and moist and had great flavor. The caprese sausage tasted like it should. I could taste the sun dried tomato and basil and it was super cheesy. It ate a bit on the dry side but for some reason I really liked it, had a tinge of jerky texture and I found myself really enjoying it. Pass on the fried okra it's not really special and it was under fried. My brisket burger did not need nine napkins (one was suffice). So look the patty seemed kinda dry and tough but it was nice and hot and the actual bite of the whole burger with the nicely toasted bun, cheese, and grilled onions ate really well. I finished the whole thing and with a smile on my face. Didn't need the tots. The mac and cheese balls did the job. Crispy on the outside, nice hot and creamy on the inside. But the cornbread casserole was the best bite of food we had. Warm and comforting, perfect for a rainy afternoon. I'd say come and visit for sure!
Visited the area for a work trip and although not the next Texas BBQ I've ever had it gave me the fix + "when in rome"! Went off the menu and ordered the special which was a brisket burger. It had caramelized onions on it, lettuce, cheese, and their version of a Big Mac sauce. Was with a big group so we ordered an assortment of sides. The Mac and cheese is thick and delicious but the beans were fire! Everyone else at the table seemed to enjoy their food as well. As we say there , we're glad we arrived when we did because the menu ran out fast. Order beer/drinks separate from the bar, I got the margarita which is claimed the best in Katy and it was pretty good- I'll give them that! If you're looking for BBQ in the area, I'd recommend!
I went to their previous location and this location is a big improvement. Thankfully parking is not going to be a problem here. Not sure why they are rated only a 3.5 currently, we shall find out. There was a small line of about 10 people in front of me.....when I arrived. It turned out to be a short wait...then ordered, and it was a short wait for the food too. I ordered the holy trinity for $45. I'm not sure this is exactly a deal by any means. You get 2 slices of brisket (about 1/3 lb, most of a sausage link (ends were cut off), and 2 pork ribs., also one small side and a plain baked potato. If you order all items from the holy trinity separately, ....you actually save $2, so they got me there. The meat was definitely the star of the show, with the brisket being moist and delicious, ribs were tender, juicy and falling off the bone, and sausage in my opinion was the best thing on the plate. I was able to sub the daily sausage special, piquin pepper and cheese sausage, for the regular with no extra charge. I still feel they may have given me the regular sausage, as I didn't see any cheese in this sausage. They also failed to give me the bread, pickles, onions and jalapeños it comes with. When I went to go ask for it....their immediate response was to question me and say well you need to ask for it. No, when the menu says it comes with it already, they need to give it to you on your plate. So they were out of line there! The sides were okay. I used my side from the holy trinity to try their cilantro jalapeno cole slaw. I also added a small Mac n cheese. The slaw was a nice refreshing cole slaw, only 2 problems, I didn't ever taste any jalapeno OR cilantro! Did they forget to use cilantro? Because it's pretty obvious in taste and smell when you add it to a dish. I did see diced jalapeno, but it was not spicy in the least, nor did i ever taste it. The Mac and cheese was in curled pasta and had some black pepper on it, sort of a modern take on mac and cheese. I would have preferred a traditional one with more cheddar cheese. The baked potato came with cheese, sour cream, and butter and was a little pricy at $10. I think Rudy's is around $7, for comparison....for same size. Overall. I enjoyed the new restaurant and the food, but I'm only giving them 3.5 stars for all the mishaps I experienced.
