Because of my work schedule I had all but given up on being able to squeeze this stop in, but with a site visit perfectly lining up in the area right at lunch, I was able to convince my co-workers to make this stop. It's like the stars aligned. Vouching that it is worth sitting outside, they stopped talking about the heat after the first bite. The ribs were sweet and juicy cooked perfectly bite mark and all. The pork belly bites (which are not on the By the Pound section of the menu but on the "Bites") glazed in a sweet tea glaze just absolutely melted in my mouth. Brisket that is perfectly barky and moist. Feel free to judge me, but when eating as much brisket as I do when I travel, I always prefer the flat (if asked). I did hear some of that judgement from my coworker, but much like the heat he fell silent after taking a bite. The item that sole the show for me is the potato salad. It had a very lemon grass, cumin, vinegary flavor that had cilantro, green onions throughout. And peanuts, so if you have a nut allergy . . . you are missing out. Why is it the potato salads that im falling in love with this trip lol. And at the end of the meal, finished off with a homemade moon pie. Dark chocolate covered cookie sandwich with marshmallow and a banana inside. A nice couple flakes of salt on top. The best asian complement about a dessert. Not too sweet. I left so refreshed finishing with that moonpie. The bitter chocolate way to end my meal without feeling like I just ate all those fatty meats. Why go to the obvious when Space Craft is there slinging out some elite smoked meats. Make that drive down to Webster, TX.

The brisket just melts in your mouth. It's so flavorful and tender. (I'm already craving it just from talking about it) The turkey was perfectly moist and delicious. I'm not a big sausage fan but theirs is really good. No gristle at all! That banana pudding is soooo good. The beans and macaroni are OK. They aren't bad but the BBQ is what really shines here. Their spicy pickles are really great and they sell them by the jar. Service is quick and friendly. Great people here. It's a small building on highway 6 in Manvel that is only open on the weekends. There is a small indoor dining area, picnic tables outside, and a drive thru. Give it a try! I think you'll love it too. Now if they only sold pulled pork....

That said, Galveston's own Koop's goes above and beyond when it comes to giving meats the low and slow treatment. Koop's has sat on 45th and Broadway for at least five years, but today -- my 45th birthday -- was my first time visiting one of the island's very beloved eateries. Even before I set foot through its front door, my heart, mind and stomach were set on a one-meat platter consisting of brisket. I told P.J., who owns and operates the establishment, to give me a combination of moist and lean since I was a new customer. Well, well, well. It turned out that I made the right decision to get both types of brisket because I thoroughly enjoyed the one-meat platter: juicy, tender and ample. It was super easy to cut into pieces, too. I paired the meat with macaroni and cheese and broccoli and cheese after learning that the sides that I originally wanted -- the dirty rice and the corn -- ran out for the day. The former sides came in generous helpings, but because I was so enamored with the brisket, I didn't finish them, and they're now sitting in my fridge with the next item I'm going to rave about. My mom accompanied me, and she ordered the loaded baked potato. You know the old adage, "Everything's bigger in Texas"? It applies to the tater because it was massive enough to feed a whole family. A baked potato that huge isn't stingy on deliciousness. According to my mom, it was a bit spicy, which isn't a bad thing if you ask me. The interior of Koop's is quintessential Texan with some hints of the island. It was like dining inside an old time country store sitting beside a dirt road. To the right of the entrance is a corner that boasts the restaurant's numerous trophies and accolades, letting you know that they take their craft very seriously. As for the staff, P.J. and Kevin, the gentleman who served us our orders, are super friendly. Future diners are more than likely to leave Koop's not just full, but with a slightly larger friend circle.

Koops has owners who are genuinely kind, and that alone makes the experience memorable. When he…read moreasked how I liked the food, I didn't sugarcoat it -- told him it wasn't my thing. Instead of brushing it off or giving the usual polite nod, he actually asked why, listened, and seemed to care about the answer. That part stood out more than anything on the plate. BBQ is a tradition, and everyone has their own style. Koops has theirs, and it clearly works for plenty of people. It just isn't mine. I won't be back, but the fact that the owner took the time to ask, listen, and treat feedback like something worth hearing says a lot about the place and the people running it.
