I had a great experience at 3rd coast BBQ. The BBQ was good, but the experience and price point made it stand out. Great value for time/money I stopped in at 3rd coast BBQ on a Thursday at lunchtime. There was a little parking, but not a massive amount. There was almost no line at all when we got there - I think we waited for about 10 min & waited another 10 for our food. The food itself was really good! They had a large menu & I thought the prices were very reasonable. For 3 meats and 3 sides it was about $50. We got two ribs, brisket (mixed) and the cheddar and jalapeño sausage links. Everything was pretty yummy. I thought the brisket was nice and tender while still having some great flavor. Both the fatty and lean brisket were pretty good. The ribs were super tender and the flavor was smoky and sweet. The sausage links were decent. I will say the food wasn't quote corkscrew level, but was still pretty solid. The ambiance here was really great. I liked the outdoor patio vibe & really homey feel. I liked the tin roof (it rained while we were there & I loved the sound!) & there was plenty of seating. Overall, great experience. Especially with a short wait and decent prices - you get pretty solid BBQ. I'll be back here for sure read more

3rd Coast BBQ - Two ribs, Link Sausage, brisket (mixed), Mac and cheese, potato salad, collared greens - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

Get over here. Some interesting items on the menu...all great. Really good brisket, much better than most. I'd prefer a little more pepper on the bark. But tender and flavorful. The pork ribs are EXCELLENT. Meaty, moist, tender and perfectly seasoned. Also tried the boudin, overall iI liked it, i would have preferred a little less cheese but its a winner. Full of brisket and sausage its pretty damn good. The jalapeño sausage is a great, perfect grind size and coarseness. Sides are above average. For me hands down the cajun potato salad is the best I tried today. My dining partner raved about the collard greens and coleslaw. The smoked beans are delicious and the mac and cheese is pretty good too. The staff is cheerful and helpful as well. read more

3rd Coast BBQ - Good stuff - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

I've been here a few times prior, however this time we decided to "dine in." They have a cute area in the back with picnic tables, corn hole, and a beautiful lemon tree. We ordered a variety of items but my plate included pork belly, pinto beans, and peach cobbler. The pork belly was crispy, and moist with a sweet and smokey flavor. The pinto beans...I literally could just eat them as a main dish. They are soooooooooo good, meaty and full of flavor! Peach cobbler was amazing, perfect proportion of crust and peaches. Service was speedy and the staff were friendly and accommodating! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

3rd Coast BBQ - Crawfish, brisket and Pulled Pork - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

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. read more

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. read more

3rd Coast BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

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. read more

Food is excellent. Service is excellent. Ambiance is fantastic. Absolutely a regular stop anytime Im near Houston.

This became my and my boyfriend's favorite BBQ place after we moved to Spring. The BBQ is the best in the area, and the customer service is always top notch. Super casual, not presumptuous at all (in the best way). The ONLY downside is the run out of options near the end of the day. But hey - that just shows everyone knows how good the stuff is! read more

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. read more

Great food! Great people! Try 3rd Coast if you are in spring/The woodlands, TX area! I would highly recommend the marbled beef brisket and the pork ribs they are to die for also, the coleslaw is amazing, my son had the mac & cheese and baked beans and loved it as well, thank you third Coast barbecue for everything you do! read more

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! read more

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.

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Banana pudding was very fluid. It had a slightly salty flavor, which was interesting. Brisket (lean) sandwich comes with 4-5 slices of brisket, which has some fat edges but overall reminded me of pastrami. The bun for the sandwich was a little dry. The Baked potato was huge. We had it sliced in half to share, and each part was like a normal portion. The turkey was sliced not too thin or thick and then cubed. It came topped with finely shredded mixed cheeses, green onion, butter, and sour cream. The Mac and Cheese was good. The Chipotle Coleslaw was unique and creamy but a little too strong for me on its own. The smoky undertones made me want to use it with some fried seafood. read more

I loved this place the first time I got it. I got the loaded baked potato with brisket. It was so yummy the first time. My second time it was awful. Almost every piece of brisket was fat. The potato was small. I was so disappointed in it I am not sure if I want to give it another try. read more

Easily the best barbecue I have ever had. I flew all the way from Atlanta to have some barbecue from Texas, and it is safe to say I will fly back to come here again. I could feel the love that was put into the restaurant as well as the barbecue and 3rd coast has became the best one I've ever been to. One of the co owners Ms. DeeDee was really nice as well as all of the staff. The seating is very interesting with a house off to the side where they allow you to pick your own table to sit at and overall it was a very unique seating arrangement. I personally really liked it due to it feeling like you were kind of eating at home. Overall, 3rd Coast is definitely a barbecue place worth visiting and it is undoubtedly deserving of 5* Food The beef rib is only on Saturday's and for 35 dollars I was very happy with my purchase. The beef rib was very flavorful, smoky, and incredibly well seasoned. The brisket was remarkable. Very juicy, tender, and seasoned perfectly. The mac and cheese is not to be overlooked either, I have tried lots of mac and cheese before, and 3rd coast mac and cheese is among the best I've had. Collard greens were great, had a nice smoky flavor and they were seasoned well. Although I am not a big fan of potato salad I feel like they did well with that too. The pit master very clearly poured their heart and soul into their business. All in all please come to 3rd coast, they're phenomenal. read more

We had an unforgettable experience at 3rd Coast BBQ! From the moment we walked in, Arianna made us feel welcome and taken care of -- she was absolutely amazing. We went all in and tried just about everything: shredded pork, ribs, sausage, brisket, mac and cheese, coleslaw, and peach cobbler -- and every single bite was incredible. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the ribs were smoky and perfectly seasoned, and the sausage was just right. The sides were just as good -- creamy mac and cheese, crisp slaw, and a peach cobbler that might be the best I've ever had. I went with my brother, goddaughter, and her daughter, and we all agreed -- it was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. What made us most proud, though, was their clear support for our military and country. You walk in and instantly know you're somewhere that loves America and stands by our troops. That matters -- and it's rare. Great food, great service, and great values. We'll definitely be back! read more

Amazingly Delicious. My wife picked up a sampling for my birthday. WOW! The brisket was the best I've had in current memory. The ribs were done just the way I like, and had a subtle sweetness to the glaze. The boudain was smokey and had a spicy kick that stayed with you for just the right amount of time. The brisket chili was a new experience and will be enjoyed again in the future. Got to mention the potato salad AND the bbq sauce itself, multiple flavor notes that only happen through dedication to the craft. Did I mention that even re-heated it puts others to shame ? THANK YOU, Third Coast BBQ - We have a new Favorite ! read more

Very friendly and good natured folks with a nice cozy outdoor setup to eat......that's the best of it. I ordered online early that morning for a pickup in the mid afternoon. I arrived and they not only did not have the order ready as promised in the confirmation, but did not even have the order in their system. Good thing I had my confirmation acknowledging payment. They did apologize and put the bulk order together with a short wait. I mention bulk because there were a number of sides that were poorly packed kind of jammed in 1 bag and leaking by the time I got home. Quality of the meats was very good, but sorely lacking smoke and flavor. With all the positive reviews I was sure I had found another local gem, but alas NO. The best item was the potato salad. Will not be returning with much better options in the area. read more

I called in advance to make sure the rub and al a carte orders didnt have gluten. I forgot the business owners name but he was very helpful and reassured me that the rub had no Gluten in it. (my wife is gluten intolerant and sensitive to it) After i picked up a pound of brisket, we wernt disappointed. Very delicious and great staff with a backyard vibe in the environment. The rub was a bit salty for us but i loved the service. 3/5 for the brisket moist and 5/5 for the staff and owner. read more

After repeated disappoint in my usual bbq places I decided to give 3rd coast a try! Wowsa! Def my new favorite! The brisket was super tender and cooked to perfection. The ribs are fantastic too! Fell off the bone. Tasty sausage! I love the collards too much. I can see myself stopping by just for a side of greens lbvs! Pintos are good too. The sauce was delightfully different than the norm, even the pickles and vinegar onions were a treat! Love love love!!! read more

Pleasantly surprised with restaurant and its unique layout. Attached by a short dog trot they have a older home they converted into indoor dining rooms to beat the heat. It reminds me of going to your aunt's house for a church social, full of folding tables and chairs and mismatched tablecloths. The staff was very friendly and the food came out PDQ We got the $30 Poppa's Plate with a sample of the meats. This was more than enough for 2. Pulled pork, brisket, turkey, and ribs. The bark on the brisket was full of flavor. The turkey was tender and well seasoned, the ribs were te Eder but not fall of the bone that way they still have some texture. Any of these would have been great on a baked potato or in big sandwich. The banana pudding was a perfect side to finish the meal. The wafers are mixed into the pudding to prevent that weird texture the cookies get when they are left on top of it. read more
