I have been to multiple top 10 BBQ spots in Texas (according to the Texas Monthly magazine annual top 100 list), so I always find myself comparing BBQ restaurants to those. I would say this place is 70% as good as Snows or Franklins. The sausage, ribs, and brisket were all solid. Nothing to write home about, but definitely still very tasty. Out of the three, we enjoyed the sausage the most. Both the beef and pork and the jalapeño cheese sausages had great flavor, juicy, and had a nice snap of the casing. The ribs were our second favorite. The ribs were fall off the bone and slightly spicier than traditional ribs. Brisket was ok, but on the drier side. We got the mac and cheese and potato salad as sides, and we really enjoyed the potato salad--it had a taste of sour cream and onion potato chips. Overall, great experience!! + our server was very nice!! read more

Good brisket in downtown bryan. The waiter was attentive and made sure I was enjoying my meal. He gave good recommendations on what to try. God amount of dill ok the potato salad. It's not a big space but wasn't packed when I went for lunch. Didn't get a chance to try any of the whiskey but will be back to try next time I'm in town. read more

This is my second time at All the Kings Men. I think this restaurant is one of the better barbecue places in the bryan area. Environment: I love the decorations and modern feel of the restaurant. There is medium noise level with music playing in the background. The waitress was very nice and she continuously checked up on our table. Seating: There is plenty of seating choices! There are booths, chairs, and bar seating. The restaurant is never too crowded so there is not a wait time. Brisket: The brisket is very tender! I liked how the brisket was not too fatty and not too lean. The brisket was a perfect combination of both with a nice smoky and pepper taste. Gouda Mac: Honestly gouda cheese is not my personal favorite. It has a very strong cheesy and gouda flavor. The mac was decent and I liked eating it with my brisket. The portion cup looks small but it was actually a very fair amount. Potato Salad: Personally I did not like the potato salad. There is a very strong mayo taste and it was just too overpowering for me. I prefer potato salads that have both mayo and mustard flavor. However, this potato salad just felt like too much mayo but it was flavorful. read more

I found the lean brisket and jalapeño-cheese sausage to both be just about textbook perfect. My compliments to the pit master. I can not offer a single suggestion for improvement for either. Best I have had in recent memory. The presentation on butcher paper over a stainless tray was spot-on perfect, as well. I would give 7 points for the meats, if I could. Both are well worth their price. The 3-bean-whatever side item is a swing-and-a-miss. As a BBQ purist, I felt like somebody was going to offer me quinoa or cauliflower rice next. $5 for the rather dainty serving was somewhat off-putting as well. Stick with pintos or charros, the way God intended. Charging an additional fee for staple side items like jalapeños and extra slices of bread comes across as downright chintzy. There is just no other way to put it. Shaving the onion down to paper thin slivers clearly increases your yield, but it simply ruins it alongside barbecue. The resulting intensity of flavor and smell; the texture, the wateriness--it was just all off as a result. Another thing, either serve cheese--or just don't. Any BBQ traditionalist will agree that a chunk of cheddar complements good BBQ. The waitress brought me a one-ounce cup of shredded cheese, albeit somewhat smashed into chunks. Full disclosure: she did warn me in advance that the cheese would be shredded. I'm guessing this was pulled from the prep table for stuffed baked potatoes or something. It makes your restaurant seem ill-prepared, as if the kitchen was caught off guard and is improvising. Last word on the side items: those sliced dill pickles are awesome. Definitely better than what one usually encounters. Okay, another last word on condiments. That bbq sauce was excellent. Maybe some of the best I have ever had. Perfect mix of sweet and heat. The quality of service was about what I would expect from disinterested college kids on a Sunday afternoon. Not awesome, but not horrible. I would return for the brisket and sausage. In spite of that awesomeness, I can't give five stars with the multiple peripheral detractors, though. read more

I'm for a late lunch at 1:40. Was hard to find parking even at this time so be forewarned. Ordered a half pound of brisket and a half pound of sausage, and potato salad. Total with drink and a 10% tip was $30.43. One thing I do not like is when you have to select a tip when you pay before you have even tasted the food and you are standing in front of people about to handle your food. I know this is pretty common now days but I still would rather leave a tip at the end. I did have one piece of brisket that was part of my half pound that was 100% fat (see photo). Not to happy about that. The meats were good but the brisket was very salty. The potato salad was very good as well. would probably eat here again. read more

It's been a few years since I've been to this spot. The last time I was here it was amazing. I'm not sure WTF happened but it has fallen way off. The pork belly burnt ends used to be melt in your mouth and tonight were more like BBQ rubber. The brisket slices I received were dry and tired. The sausage was dried out and shriveled. I'm sure these had been sitting all day long and I got the end of night pickings. But worst of all my son ordered the wings and a couple were raw on the inside. I had 90% of my food left (we ate the fries) and the waitress didn't say a word. I was excited to bring the kiddo I. Here after his wrestling tournament because it used to be amazing but what disappointment. Is it under new ownership or management? Or did I show up on an off night?? read more

Another day another BBQ review! When I was back in Texas this past week I was trying to get my fix before coming back to Orlando. I stopped by All The Kings Men in downtown Bryan with a couple of my friends for dinner. The restaurant had a really cool atmosphere and some great menu options. I had the Pulled Pork, which came with two sides. I chose the Gouda Mac n Cheese as well as the Jicama Apple Slaw. The portion sizes were really good, and everything was pretty tasty! It wasn't the most extraordinary BBQ I've ever tasted, but it's definitely a big step up from say Rudy's. The staff were extremely friendly, and the restaurant wasn't too crowded or loud. If you're in downtown Bryan and are crazing some BBQ, would definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

Food was decent. The potato salad was not made in-house. Tasted more like a Walmart version. I would have given a 4 star. However the Bloody Mary's came in a cute boot. I'm an adult and would have loved a larger drink than the 7 oz boot. The waitress was very sweet. read more

We weren't planning to stop here but the bbq came highly recommended so made a quick pit stop and happy we did! They were out of Mac and cheese so I went with an all meat meal of brisket, pork belly burnt ends, and jalapeño cheese sausage. The meats were great though I didn't detect any jalapeño or cheese in the sausage so not sure if I got the wrong thing or not. Either way it was a great meal. read more

Simply delicious. The pickled onions take it further! Their beans are creamy and flavorful! My new favorite bbq restaurant in Texas!

I was craving for barbecue but I was not willing to stand in line for barbecue. We found this place and decided to check it out. I definitely recommend this place. We ordered the candied pork belly bacon, half pound of brisket, an order of pork ribs which came with two pieces, apple slaw, and mac and cheese. The barbecue came with the fixins including a slice of bread, pickles, onions, and jalapeños. The brisket was moist and I was also surprised that the ribs were moist because sometimes they tend to be dry. The apple slaw was my favorite side dish because it was flavorful. All of the items we ordered were delicious. This place is located in downtown Bryan and I am not sure whether it gets packed in downtown Bryan but we were able to get a curb parking easily on a Sunday. Service was great. Overall, I think you should check this place out. read more

All The Kings Men - Candied Pork Belly - Barbeque Near Me - Bryan, Texas

Let me start this review by saying my opinion might be biased because I'm picky with my meat and prefer it to be lean and not fatty. Overall I think the quality of the food was good, and if I was not so picky I might have enjoyed it more. The got the pork sandwich with mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was very strong in flavor which was not a bad thing. The sandwich for me on the other hand was hard to eat because it was so huge, and like stated earlier the meat was so fatty I ended up picking out the pieces of meat that were more lean. The sandwich was just meat and bun with some coleslaw. The coleslaw was very good and was a great compliment to the sandwich. There were also three types of BBQ sauces that were offered which were all good, some more on the spicy side and some on the sweet. I am originally from California so BBQ is not a huge thing over there and maybe I just missed the appreciation for this place, but it didn't hit the spot for me. I think if you are a meat lover and don't mind meat that is not lean and love bbq this would be a great place to visit. The aesthetic was very casual and cool which makes it a nice hang out spot to grab a quick bite. The service was good and fast so can't complain there either. read more

Ohhhh man!!! I love barbecue and get it pretty often, and I have to say this is the best barbecue I've ever had. I ordered the candied pork tips and barbecue sandwich. Although it wasn't a ton of food , it was cooked so damn perfectly!! I HIGHLY recommend the candies pork tips because they were just the perfect amount of sweet and savory! The bill is pretty steep, for my 2 things with no drink it was 19.50$. ( plus tip you'll be about 25 dollars poorer) However , service was great , atmosphere was awesome , and the food was phenomenal !!! A gem in downtown Bryan! read more

I never leave reviews ! This place is so worth leaving a review for !!! Been searching for good bbq and most places fail miserably even the hype hipster bbq trail ! This place is AWESOME ! Brisket (moist) and candied pork belly for the win ! Not overly smoky with just enough fat and bark to leave you craving another bite or 5 !!!! Homemade pickled onions were a great added touch. We ordered a small portion for dining in and ended up taking a pound and a half home !!! The turkey was a bit on the dry side, but good just the same. If you're traveling through like we were or you live in the area you need to make this a regular stop. They have a nice bar as well, but we were road tripping. Bravo Kingsmen ... if I'm ever that way again I'm eating in and hauling more home !!!! read more

Bottom Line: Winner of my "Best Venue For A Blues Gathering In Bryan TX" award. ATKM is a popular hangout offering well executed BBQ, diverse brews, and the best Blues I've heard in the area, covering especially acoustic Delta Blues and vintage Chicago numbers. But all this ambience comes at a premium price. Top Line: For a light hit-&-run dinner I dropped into All The King's Men in downtown Bryan. My choices du jour were their smoked pork rib tips $7.25, a glass of pecan porter $6, and a piece of their pecan pie $8.50 for the slice. Total ringout was $23.55 after tax for a not terribly large meal. So the price was significant. However, the food quality rose to the level of the cost, so I felt the price of the meal was justified. The four pieces of rib tips were quite sweet, as well as rather richly smoked, so I suspect there was a fair amount of brown sugar in the rub. The charred bits on the tips tasted very close to slices of sweet bacon. The thicker portions carried their sweetness as a flavor of sweet juicy ham (if you've ever made Coca Cola ham y'all know what I'm talkin' about). The dipping sauce was quite sweet with a distinct pepper note that reminded me of A-1 or Worcestershire sauce. Being only four about golf ball size pieces, the portion size wasn't very big. But what meat was there was mighty tasty. The pecan porter was a bit of a miss. While its flavor was the typical dark roasted grain taste of a good porter, its pecan notes were distinctly missing. Any nuttiness in the flavor did not register as a particularly pecan (or other distinct nut) taste. It did have the typical porter "slightly-lighter-than-stout" body. So let's say it was a good porter, but not as nutty as my taste buds anticipated given its name & branding in an area where pecans are native & abundant. The pecan pie, which my waitress graciously warmed before bringing it to table, arrived in a somewhat quixotic presentation. The pie slice was accompanied by a dollop of whipped cream topped with a pecan half in each corner of a small sheet pan that had been zig-zagged with caramel sauce. All the elements said elegant, except that bare metal sheet pan that said "This is a barbecue *joint*!!!" A little bi-polar indecision goin' on there methinks. The pie flavor was good, though not as roasty on the nut flavor as some I've tasted lately. The overall flavor was more about the sweetness. The texture of the gelatin filling under the nut layer was super smooth, approaching pudding creaminess. It seemed to lack rather completely the graininess often found in pecan pie fillings. The smoothness was sustained as the pie cooled, so it wasn't just an artifact of the heating it got. So while the overall experience at ATKM was good & their music selection was exceptional (they even piped it into the restrooms!), the price would restrict it to a "special occasion" venue if I lived in the area. read more

I like the restaurant, small but nicely located in downtown Bryan. Brisket and sausage are moist and good. The burnt pork belly is nothing special to me since it's too sweet and almost tastes like chewy jerky. The only bummer is that they forgot my slaw which I highly expected to try from reading its name. If I had a chance to stop by, please do not forget my order again! read more

My friends and I used to LOVE this spot for BBQ, but now we would HIGHLY recommend going elsewhere. Last week I was served the saltiest pulled pork I've ever tasted. I truly could not finish the serving due to the taste. The five sides we sampled were no better. Usually the sides are some of my favorite aspects but it seems they've changed the recipes. The Grandma's Slaw had a sour flavor as if it was old, and the potato salad had the consistency of cream cheese with some potatoes mixed in. The pickled apple slaw tasted as if it had been frozen and thawed, or had sat in a Ziplock in a refrigerator for a considerable amount of time. The service was never great here, but the food was good prior to the renovations. Now, with full table service the lack of staff attention is especially obvious, and the alcoholic drinks we ordered took a long time and were delivered when the food was. The couple at the table next to us voiced that they were having similar trouble getting staff attention, and had waited for their drinks longer than we had. We had to wait extra long because the sides were not what we had ordered and it took a while to flag down one of the two servers. Disappointing. read more

They are in the process of changing their name so heads up there, but the food was phenomenal! We ordered a ton of food so we could try everything and it did not disappoint! The meat was on point and super tender and flavorful. We were in town visiting family and this place came highly recommended. It lived up to the hype for sure! I think I was most surprised by the sides we ordered. The dill potato salad was creamy and everything you want a potato salad to be. The beans were another hit with our family. If you go here do NOT skip the candied pork belly OMG it was so good we have all been craving it since we got home to AZ. You can't forget dessert! We ended our meal with the pecan pie and again it was right on the money! Overall we can't wait to be able to go back again when we visit our family in TX again! read more

ATKM serves up delicious BBQ and drinks. I ordered the fatty brisket and shared Gouda Mac and cheese, beans, and sweet potatoes with two other people. It was more than enough food when paired with white bread, pickles, onions, and jalapeños. I enjoyed the Mac and cheese and beans, but the sweet potatoes were too sweet for my taste. The brisket was delicious, tender, and flavorful enough that it did not require sauce. I also tried the jalapeño sausage, which I loved, and the turkey, which i thought was salty and just okay. I also tried the candies pork ends, which were delicious. Finally, I sipped on a delicious Negroni during dinner. I was looking forward to the coconut cream pie, but it is sadly no longer offered. The raspberry short bead that we shared instead was too sweet The good: brisket, Mac and cheese, beans, candied pork, pickles, and Negroni The okay: Turkey, sweet potatoes, and price relative to nearby BBQ places read more

Moved to CS and decided to get to know the area a bit by trying out the BBQ. Our priorities were beer, ribs, and football since we were stopping in on a Sunday. This place has a nice bar area with 1 TV so the football sitch was iffy. The beer selection was decent, with some good IPAs and kolsch. On to the food! The Ribs were by far the best part- juicy, tender, and literally falling off the bone. The beans were good, if a bit dry. The mac and cheese was decent but after a few bites, it lost its appeal. The burnt ends were literally that- burnt. Very tough, made tougher by the candied part (still tasty though). We'd definitely come back for the ribs! read more

I had the sausage (both the pork and beef, and the jalapeño cheese), and the moist brisket. While the meat was really good (moist, flavorful, and highly recommend), that isn't even the part that jumped out at me. This is Texas, and moist, flavorful meat is kind of a basic expectation. What really stood out to me was the sauce (which had a very unique, smokey taste, without going overboard), and the service (which was excellent and greatly appreciated). If you get a chance, give them a try, you'll be glad you did. read more

It was a quick stop as we were on the road. Seriously convenient from 21 and grateful to not be forced to go into college station. What a unique place in the heart of what appears to be Bryan in the middle of a renaissance. The bbq brisket and pulled pork were moist and well seasoned. I loved the charred parmesan broccoli and mashed sweet potatoes. The pulled pork sandwich was overloaded with meat. The sauce was a slight variation on a tradition TX sauce ... maybe some spicy mustard?? The only negative and reason for the 4 is the bun while good tasting could not hold together with the meat and sauce. It eventually disintegrated. All in all loved the place! read more

Some of the best barbecue I've had anywhere! You can't go wrong coming here... Deron took great care of us and recommended the short rib appetizer, which was fantastic! Those things are packed with flavor and oh so good. We got several cuts of meat, including brisket, turkey, jalapeño cheddar sausage, and pulled pork, with the Gouda mac and cheese and slaw--all of it great! Would order it all again and again! And another excellent recommendation, the bread pudding... this thing is heavenly! Wow! Props to their chefs/cooks, they know what they're doing here! read more

First time. Everything was excellent! However the stars are the Brisket and the Ribs. Those are off the charts. I'm partial to NC style pulled pork which has a lighter smoke flavor. That said the pork was very good if a bit heavy on the smoke for my taste. The jalapeño/cheese sausage was great, nice smoke and perfect snap crunch on the casing. The Gouda Mac-n-cheese is the perfect side. I will be back. read more

Awesome choice for beer and BBQ in downtown Bryan. My wife and I took our daughter and two friends for dinner. And of course college kids are always hungry for good food. So we ordered every meat and most of the sides on the menu. Never done that before. And we started with the candied pork belly burnt ends. Everyone loved them. Wife and I also enjoyed the Houston and Brazos Valley beer flights. Just wish they had whiskey flights. We loved all the meats, except for the jalepeno cheese sausage. I guess we are just purists. Everything else vaporized. The pulled pork could have use a little more bark and definition. Seems like this batch spent too much time on the steam table. Everyone loved most of the sides as well. The jicama slaw was a welcome change to cabbage cole slaw. Gouda mac and cheese was divine. How was dessert? Who knows. Everyone was stuffed from meat and sides. read more
