    Good stuff
    Darris J.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    No-frills bbq, just great food, great vibes, great people. Stopped by on the way from the airport to The Woodlands, the high rating didn't lie. Whatever was in the sauce, I'm coming back for more before I leave town.

    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.

    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!

    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!

I've passed by several times and the line has always deterred me, but this time I came with my game face and the patience of a saint. I arrived on a Friday at 11:03am to be exact. Yep, they open at 11am and yep there was already a line. I was shortly approached by an employee who handed me a paper menu and asked if I would like to purchase a drink while I wait in line. It was fairly hot outside but they had fans along the patio to give relief. The inside of the restaurant is not large but also not small, its first come first serve so get in where you fit in or opt to sit outside. I arrived to the front of the line around 12pm so it took about an hour of waiting in line. Ordering was smooth and it took no time for the food to be ready. Staff were friendly, and service was speedy. I ordered brisket(moist), pulled pork sandwich, mac n cheese, potato salad, beans, apple cobbler, and a baked potato. The potato salad was a pleasant surprise! It is not your traditional potato salad, but If you enjoy anything dill flavored, you'd love it! The brisket was moist and flavorful, melt in your mouth good!!! The other sides were just okay, not bad but nothing stood out. The cobbler was a bit too sweet and it did not seem as though the ingredients were mixed very well. It was like they dumped sugar on top and baked it without mixing it. Pulled pork sandwich was meaty and flavorful. Pretty good BBQ Experience!!!

    The brisket was phenomenal, and the ribs can go toe to toe with the masters in the craft. The sides…read morewere just ridiculous, one of the only places I've eaten where every single side hit it out of the park. I also really wish they appreciated the attention to the dining experience more. Little things matter. paper towels at the tables, an easy-to-find tray return, and someone offering water for free or for sale. It will make for a much more enjoyable, its hot AF in houston from march through November and agua is a must. Dining experience aside definitely worth a stop if you're looking for top-tier BBQ in Houston.

    Visited Rosemeyer today about 1pm, no line. I ordered the Big Boy Box. I chose Brisket and Wings…read more It came with one slice of brisket and 3 wings, potato salad, Mac n cheese and two slices of bread. It is supposed to come with a sausage link but mine was missing! That was disappointing because I was going to order a link but the guy confirmed it came with a link. So I also got 1/2 pound of brisket. And I got an order of bread pudding. BRISKET was ok, not much flavor. I guess I assumed it would smell or taste like it was smoked. I didn't try the wings but it looked like it had flavor. 1/2 pound was 3 slices of brisket. POTATO SALAD was ok, it was like mashed potato salad or like a mousse. MAC N CHEESE was ok. It was shells and cheddar cheese, that's all I tasted. But the kid ate it, no comments. BREAD PUDDING was $5. And all you get is a condiment full. It was like a dough ball soaked in sauce and candied pecans. If you go, recommend ordering small portion to try. I ordered this about for dinner for 2 adults and a kid.
