The interior has plenty of seating, and plenty of room for a line, and with bbq this good there is often a line. That being said, I was incredibly impressed with how quickly the food came out. Also, we had a large group, and the cashier took down our orders with pen and pencil and there wasn't one mistake when the food came out. The staff was pleasant, helpful, and attentive. The bbq is delicious. I was going to get a pick-2 plate with brisket and sausage, but then I saw the Pachon Baked potato that already had brisket and sausage on it, and I would definitely recommend it. Some tips: Get a 3 Meat Plate to try a variety, or try one of their baked potatoes. All of their sides are good, but try their "crazy beans." There is extra bbq sauce on the table, and I liked the extra kick the "spicy" bottle provided. Lastly, ask for a to-go box, because odds are, with these portions, you're going to need it Cheers!!

Here's a clear, honest review you can post:…read more I hate leaving bad reviews, but this one really disappointed us. We stopped by Daniel's Meat Market expecting good barbecue, but the food completely missed the mark. The chopped beef sandwich was honestly terrible -- it tasted like fish, which is the last thing you expect from beef. It wasn't even chopped fresh in front of us; it was sitting in a big pan, and there was absolutely no barbecue flavor at all. My wife and I each took one bite and couldn't eat it. We ended up throwing the whole thing away. We also tried my son's brisket, and it was just as disappointing. No smoky flavor, no real brisket taste -- just bland and forgettable. I'm not trying to be harsh, just honest. We really wanted to like it, but the quality just wasn't there. Very disappointed overall.

Then the guy who took my order said well, I put the 14 OZ down. I said that is not what I ordered, but screw it, I'll take it, then the manager stepped in and said no, make him a 16 OZ. I said rare and he called it back rare. I get home, I have four pieces of steak, one MIGHT be a ribeye MAYBEE. NONE of it was even close to medium rare, much less what I ordered, rare. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT. I called up there to speak with the manager, and he wanted a chance to make it right.

We ordered ala carte order of fish, and 1lb of ribs. The breading on the fish was well seasoned, but we were a little disappointed in the size of the Fillets, considering they said it's about $4 each. The ribs were nice and tender, but the flavor wasn't the best. The restaurant had an older ambience to it, which aligned with the OG BBQ theme. The staff started off somewhat cold, but they were friendly and helped guide us through the menu as we were somewhat confused to start.

We also tried the cornbread which was perfect, moist, slightly sweet and yummy. The brisket was pretty nice, you can order it moist or lean. The sausage was a nice consistency and nice taste. The cream corn was nicer than I remember cream corn, the okra was. Crisp and tasty, the macaroni and cheese was creamy with a subtle taste. I would prefer a stronger taste and a bit less creamy...but still good. The baked beans were pretty perfect. Great flavor and consistency. We interacted with three staff members and all were very nice, friendly and helpful. This is a recommended restaurant to visit.

The spareribs had that wonderful smoke ring, juicy and pulled off the bone cleanly and with no effort. The brisket was Smokey good and fork tender. My wife ordered a baked potato stuffed with brisket. It was huge and she enjoyed it. Neither of us could finish our meals. The sides of fried okra and green beans were not spectacular but respectably tasty. My biggest compliant was the front of restaurant's building there is a skull logo painted against a black storefront. It is way too foreboding for a place that I found very suitable for the entire family. I thought it was a bar selling oven baked bbq. The reality is this a good choice for a bbq meal. Great place to try the entire menu. The parking is limited but they have a drive thru.

It is rare that I award five stars. In this case, I'm awarding six! ;-)…read more SmokeAholics is a La Porte-based food truck that's been in business for about a year. Their specialty is barbecue, and they do it extremely well. I first had the pleasure of sampling their goods at an event (from their food truck); and they recently catered an event that I attended. Outstanding both times! This mom & pop business relies on post oak to smoke their succulent fall-apart brisket, sausage, boudin and beans, and they have the time and temperature down to a science (their slogan is "It's 225 degrees somewhere.") For folks who are versed in the art and science of smoking meats (and beans in this case), 225F is the holy grail of temperatures. That the pit master (Charlie Spencer) can manage it in the rear of a trailer is quite amazing! So many people can bring smoky flavor to a trimmed brisket, but it ends up being dry. Charlie though... Oh my! He somehow manages to produce an outstanding smoky bark with nary an ounce of fat -- yet it melts in your mouth. Barbecue sauce is available, but don't bother. His brisket deserves to shine on its own. So too do the sides. Charlie's wife, Carla Spencer, is in charge of producing most of the delicious accoutrements, which are meals themselves. Her homemade mac & cheese gets there for the cash on its own. But when it's fried and placed atop fries ... Eureka! Her 'Momma's Crackers' are tangy and spicy enough to make one want to slap their pappy! And yes, I want some. -- Perhaps one of the more creative sides is Charlies "Apple Pie Baked Beans," which are available through the catering menu. It's a hybrid of apple pie, breakfast sausage and post oak-smoked beans. Not only is it out-of-the-box, it's damn delicious! These folks offer their wonderful food in La Porte (check the address), but they also cater all over. Just as important, in my humble opinion, Charlie and Carla give back to the community in a huge way. Sure, they are the kind of folks you'd invite to your home because they're just nice. But they do so much more in mentoring local youngsters and volunteering their time (and services) to make the day a little brighter -- and tastier -- for cancer survivors. It's really cool when I am able to recommend a business that is superb at what it does and just as outstanding when it comes to giving back. SmokeAholics is one of those businesses.
