    Food = DELICIOUS! Service = Exceptional. I contacted 3rd Coast after reading reviews and needing Catered BBQ for an event. Our robotics team was hosting 5 international teams preparing for World's Competition. We wanted to demonstrate radical hospitality and share some Texas BBQ with international students from The Netherlands, Taiwan, China and Turkey. 3rd Coast BBQ was a HUGE hit! They had 4th and 5th servings! They ate so much I am sure we are sending them home 10 pounds heavier! We has chopped beef, pulled pork, turkey and sausage, chipotle coleslaw, mac and cheese, banana pudding, and peach cobbler. EVERY SINGLE THING - Fantastic. Call them - you will be glad you did (and so will your guests). Signed - a very impressed customer!

    I had a friend in town and didn't want to make the trip to the pit room. The staff was incredible and walked us through the entire menu, providing recommendations and portion info. They also gave us free beers! Bbq was great, and there's an awesome back yard set up to eat in. My friends and I especially liked the burnt ends, pork ribs, and the homemade pickles that were out back!

    Hands-down, the best brisket I found while living in Texas for the past three years. You can take this with a grain of salt since I'm not native TX, but I love barbecue and I have tried a number of spots throughout the Houston and greater Houston area. I was up in the Woodlands and read some great reviews about third coast, it is as authentic as they come, run by a family who loves making great food. I recommend it to anyone in the area.

    I love me some southern side dishes. I happily ordered the collard greens and it's just as I expected, strong meat taste, super oily (drained out the oil) and it was great. The cole slaw was a win for me too since it wasn't drowned in mayo and instead had a slight kick to it. Meat was nothing special.

    Pinto beans are very flavorful... but have a kick!

    Flavor profile is "Cajun" and leaning to the spicier side... Everything, including the sides, have a strong pepper kick. Maybe to-go orders aren't their forte, but by the time we made it home (about 20minutes later), all the meats were dry. Reheating just made it worse, as if there were no juices left to revive. Not a fan, sorry.

    Love their meats! Especially the rack of ribs with my ginger beer! Excellent customer service! Support small business and they cater!

    They've recently been listed on the Houston Chronicle's Top 30 in Houston so had to give them a try. They've got a very cool little shack just across I-45 from The Woodlands, you order at the window and they bring it out, 100% outdoor seating at picnic tables, but shaded with fans. I got a late lunch at 1:30pm and found the meat lukewarm and the fat had started to congeal on both fatty brisket and ribs. Very disappointing as it was clear that the underlying flavor was good or excellent - hard to tell when it's not warm and the fat is sticky. I found their house sausage to be bland and uninteresting, but the potato salad, baked beans, and pickles were all excellent. I think they deserve another try, but I don't understand selling a $40 lunch and not getting the temp right.

    Why 4 stars? Because I had a mixed experience, but still a solid one overall. --- --- --- This was another place I've had bookmarked for quite a while and just never had the chance to visit. Recently, I decided to make the trek over on a solo mission and finally get it done. MEATS: Moist Brisket: 4-stars. Very good brisket, just not top top tier. Burnt Ends: 5-stars. Yeah, these were the best thing I ordered. These were crispy on the outside, but melted in your mouth. Bravo to you, chef. Ribs: 4.5-stars. I just ordered the side portion with two small ribs. The first rib I ate was just like the pork belly: AMAZINGLY tender. But then the second one was very different, so I guess I'm torn here. The second one certainly wasn't bad, but it just wasn't like the first one that was perfection. SIDES: Coleslaw: 2-stars. Unfortunately, I didn't like anything about the flavor of this slaw and only took a few bites before giving up on it. Mac-n-cheese: 3-stars. It's very creamy, but I didn't love it. It was fine, but not something I'd need to order again. OTHER: Sauce: 2-stars. This was a very strong and unique BBQ sauce that I was not a fan of at all. I wish I could pinpoint what it was that I didn't like about it, but I can't quite identify what the flavor was. It came out kind of chunky, so it just seems like they packed a bunch of stuff into it and the combination equalled to something that didn't agree with my taste buds. Outdoor Seating: I'm not going to give this a "rating" because it's not like it's the fault of 3rd Coast, I just wanted to point this out. I elected to sit outside despite the heat, because the fans and the shade made it not nearly as hot as it would have been otherwise. Unfortunately, I was in the midst of an all out war with flies the entire time I was eating. I would take a bite and then have to wave my arms maniacally the entire time. I think the person who took my order said there was indoor seating, but I just made the decision that I was going to stick it out. If I went back again in the summer, I would absolutely not do that again.

    Smoked Prime Brisket, 1/4 lb. Link Sausage, Creamy Mac & Cheese, Cajun Potato Salad, Pulled Pork and burnt ends!

    Such a good find! Did a 20 mile run in the area and decided to get some local BBQ to restore the calorie deficit. The BBQ was delicious and I particularly enjoyed the sides. My partner said this might be the best BBQ sauce he's had - not spicy but definitely has a good amount of pepper. We loved every bite! Also loved the outdoor seating area available, especially since we were both sweaty after the workout. Lots of activities and areas for kiddos to run around. The workers were extremely kind and helpful. We will be back!

    Enjoyed this delicious bbq for our work Christmas luncheon. Everything was well seasoned, the meat was so tender and delicious. We enjoyed the spicy kick in the pintos, Mac and cheese. The potato salad was delightful. I loved the jalapeño sausage and brisket was my favorite. We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

    My sister recommended this spot. It's in a house/lawyer office. I felt like I was attending a catered party at a friend's house. The brisket sandwich was ok. The turkey baked potato could have been better. The sides were AMAZING! The mac and cheese was so yummy. The coleslaw had a bit of a kick and would have been great with some shrimp. The banana pudding was a bit watery and the cobbler was ok. Overall, I would comeback just for the sides and would try other proteins.

    This is such an interesting spot!! I've driven past hundreds of times after getting McDonald's down the street and honestly had no clue this gem was there! The restaurant is in an old house, which is so quirky. The indoor seating is in a living room w a full kitchen next to it. All part of the charm though. The outdoor seating is really nice and I would be down to come back at night to see what the vibe is like. The service itself was really quick and friendly! I got the pulled pork sandwich which was pretty good. I also tried the Cajun potato salad, which was just the right amount of spicy. I would definitely come back and bring hungry friends!

    3rd Coast BBQ & Catering I had a great lunch yesterday with my brothers at Rosemeyer Bar-B-Q It was a great way to end my Texas trip. It was also great to see Miss Dee Dee, Troy, Drew, and the rest of the crew. This is one of my favorite BBQ spots to just sit and relax. Review Whoa boy: is their version of a po boy comes with brisket, turkey, and slaw and it was amazing. Texas cheesesteak: another good twist on a cheesesteak brisket, cheese, and peppers on a bambino baguette I mean this is one of the better cheesesteaks I've eaten in a while. Brisket boudin: spicy homemade boudin was amazing. Overall: if you are looking for a good Louisiana/Texas BBQ mix please give them a try also I know crawfish season will be here before we know it and I've heard from multiple people they have some of The best Crawfish in Montgomery County so they might be a spot to add to your list.

    If you love the steak!!!!!!…read more Its a good choice Really outstanding service The picanha arepass on deep fried crunchy and good tasty

    This is a brand new food truck in the Plaza de los Food Trucks, aka Gosling Food Truck Park. The…read morefocus is on meat, particularly steak. We got a to go order from them the other night--a steak picanha platter with grilled corn and veggie kabobs, and a burger with fries. The steak is amazing. I ordered it medium rare and it came out medium but I have no complaint as it was tender and flavorful. The meat is well seasoned and finished with rock salt, and absolutely delicious. The grilled corn was tasty with a nice char, though the kernels were very tiny. The vegetables were great, particularly with their chimichurri sauce which also has great depth of flavor. The burger comes with all the trimmings, including bacon and avocado. It was a good one, tender and with great flavor. The one disappointment of the meal was the fries. They were soggy, the grease had soaked in. I don't think this was due to the meal being to go--the fries were either cooked in old oil or not cooked twice (gotta cook 'em twice to be crisp). The meat is cooked on a wood-fired pit. They have sausage and pork as well. The in-person presentation is fancy, a very nice hot platter for the food. The to go presentation is not bad either, they use quality containers that keep the food from being crushed. The price will set you back--a picanha for one is $16. It's in line with the quality. The truck is run by a family and they are very enthusiastic. If you're looking for a high-end open-air experience you'll get it here.
