They've got some funny signs around their food truck. The food was phenomenal! I had the chopped brisket sandwich and it was so big I couldn't even finish it! It was sooooo good! The food came out hot and fresh. Definitely give them a try! read more

BBQ Godfather - Outside - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

We came here for lunch on a beautiful Thursday. The brisket sandwich was incredible. The owner Tony was very nice and interesting to chat with. We will definitely be back with friends! read more

Outstanding BBQ. Bought several things for a Memorial Day family lunch and multiple people said theirs was the best brisket (sliced) that they had ever had. The burnt ends and sausage were excellent, though I found the pork ribs to be average and not so tender. read more

BBQ Godfather - 3/4 Ribs and Mac - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

Why 3 stars? Because everything was really heavy on the pepper. --- --- --- We had an amazing first experience from another truck at Deacon Baldy's, so I was really excited to try another one out. We hadn't had BBQ yet in our first couple weeks in Texas, so I was even more pumped for this meal. Unfortunately, we did not love it. We ordered a bunch of different things, but felt like most of it was unnecessarily spicy/peppery. The caveat is that I thought the ribs were perfectly cooked. And I mean perfectly. Some ribs are so "fall-off-the-bone" that they are like stew. Other ribs are so tough that you have to rip them off like beef jerky. But these were exactly as God intended. And while the ribs were not nearly as spicy as the other meat, we still would have preferred some different seasoning. With that being said, I would still order them again because of how well they were cooked. And they were very large. Next time we go to Deacon Baldy's, we will probably try another food truck, but it's nice to know I have a solid option for ribs close by. read more

Deacon's usual four trucks were set up and ready to rock along with a Thai food and gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches - so many delicious smells in the air, but we came here for the Godfather. We put in our order (I love that the trucks give you a buzzer so that you can wonder off and get comfortable while waiting for you food) for two sliced brisket sandwiches on their hoagie-style bread and sides and were thankful to find a table empty enough to accommodate us and the pups - Deacon's stays busy! I stepped away from the table... Not to do what Mia from Pulp Fiction was doing but, like Mia, I love coming back to find my food waiting for me! The sandwich was as packed as the sitting area and so I took some slices off (save 'em for round two) and then I piled on onions, jalapenos, and the delicious BBQ sauce. The fresh onions and crisp hoagie was a nice texture along with the melt in your mouth brisket. My other half, Charlie M., did like their unusually mustardy take on potato salad, and so it was quickly devoured. Being able to enjoy BBQ and beer AND bring my pups? Count me in. read more

I'm not from around here so I consulted with yelp for a good BBQ place for lunch. Everybody seemed to like this place so I gave it a try. It's located at a really cool food truck park that has the vibe of a backyard BBQ with friends. Family friendly and dog friendly. Not sure about cats though. The BBQ was fantastic. I tend to judge a BBQ place by its chipped beef sandwiches. This place did it right. Even had a few burnt ends pieces in it. Not too fatty and not too lean. It was perfect with a robust smoke flavor. It comes with onion, pickle and jalapeño. No sides are included. I got a sweet potato casserole cup for $3. Only bad thing I can say is that I'm not a huge fan of the hoagie roll (I still prefer a soft bun over a chewy roll for my BBQ) and the prices are kind of high. And I wouldn't mind some cinnamon in that sweet potato but that's a little petty. Good BBQ and I'll be coming back for more. Give it a try. read more

Don't go to this place. The food is mediocre at best, but more importantly--the owner/staff is horribly rude! I asked him very kindly what "burnt ends" meant when I was ordering( because it was offered on the menu), and he sneered back, "it means sold out", and went on from there to be even more rude, ignoring my automatic thank you's. Unbelievable. Now I completely understand why I never ever see anyone at this food truck whenever I go to Deacon Baldy's. Just avoid BBQ Godfather. There are many places to eat that will treat you politely. read more

I just got finished eating the bbq ribs and they were great. Some people may not like the medium spiciness of the ribs bit the sauce gives the ribs great balance. I judge ribs by the tenderness and taste with or without the sauce and the ribs are really good either way. The ribs are a little pricey but so is everything else at the moment and the price won't stop me from going back. The ribs are that good to me. Well done! read more

The brisket wasn't my thing. Some have seemed to like it on here, but it just seemed dry. Maybe it was just an off day? Others have seemed to enjoy it on here though. read more

Tony loves what he does, is very good at it and you can taste it! Burnt ends, melt in your mouth brisket, amazing ribs and some of the best pulled pork (very unique spices!) I've EVER put in my mouth. Get ready to pig out. Once you try it you will be back again and again. This place could turn a vegan into a carnivore read more

I'm super lucky to live within a few miles of 2 excellent BBQ places (Corkscrew is the other). I love the rib sandwich and links and both of these in a sandwich. I've never tried the turkey. I like the brisket at Corskcrew a tiny bit better, but the ribs here are great and we often get a pound of links to take with. The sides here are great - I always get the sweet potato casserole. I can't wait to try some promised new desserts including banana pudding and cobbler. Service is great and you are quickly welcomed as a regular. read more

Texans love their BBQ and on the north side of town, we have some serious pit masters. BBQ Godfather, located in Bernie's Backyard, is cranking out some legit Q. Moist, tender brisket and falling off the bone ribs. Service is always friendly and they have daily specials. Thursday is pork belly day and on Saturdays you can get the best smoked chicken in town. For fans of burnt brisket ends, BBQ Godfather sells them by the pound or as a topping for their rich and creamy Mac n Cheese. This is one of my favorite things to get there. Sides are what's typically served with BBQ. I like the mustardy potato salad, but the beans not so much. For something on the sweet side try the sweet potato casserole. read more

Recently opened and conveniently located inside the Exxon gas station, you can see his truck with the awesome BBQ Pit towed behind it sitting in the parking lot Monday through Friday. The BBQ Godfather makes some of the tastiest BBQ I have ever had, but get there early or you might be out of luck because this BBQ goes fast. Prices are pretty reasonable, somewhat of a limited selection on what he has to offer but believe me, all of it is good. My favorite would be the ribs, i could eat them every day if I had a choice, followed by the chopped beef sandwich, and make sure you get a Dr. Pepper to go along perfectly with your food. I was weary at first because it was a gas station and i'm not one to eat food from there but now its the main reason for me to stop by. The owner/cook is always inside serving you and is a really cool guy and I hope he does well, tell him Braintek sent you. read more

BBQ Godfather - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

I wouldn't think the bbq could be legit for a food truck always parked at a bar, but it is! Smoky, tender, perfect Texas bbq flavors! I highly recommend the brisket and burnt ends. Only 1 star off because it's $$$(ex: $19/lb brisket and $22/lb for burnt ends), but I guess that's the price you pay for bbq when you're not making it at home. read more

This was my 1st time trying the BBQ Godfather. Food was very good. I had some burnt ends and flavor was good and exactly what I was wanting. The potato salad was also very good. I did ask for drinks and was informed that the drinks were at the bar. I proceeded to the bar to order a tea. The bartender informed me that tea was available at the BBQ truck. My buzzer sounded that my order was ready. I asked the only person working the truck for a tea. He told me he had a customer ahead of me, also I wasn't charged for a tea and I would have to wait. I understand he was working alone but I also did ask him for a drink when originally placing my order.!!! Food was good but service was lacking !!! read more

A MUST TRY! I went by yesterday when they first opened up at 11 am and the owner (or gentleman working the food truck) was so sweet and helpful! This food truck is located at Deacon Baldy's Food Truck Park and I kept having to walk back and forth to my vehicle because it was raining and freezing outside. The sweet man working the food truck brought my food out to me so I didn't have to keep getting my 3 year old out of the vehicle. Great customer service. And the food! Everything was so so good! The beans, potato salad, the sweet tea! All amazing! But the main thing I drove 25 minutes for was the Chili with burnt brisket ends. That by far is one of the best meals I've had in a long time! It was delicious! A little spicy but it only enhanced the flavor. If you haven't had the chance to try this place, do yourself a favor and stop by ASAP! You will not be disappointed. read more

Person running this place was rude af to my fiance, she inquired about burnt ends and was told rudely that they are sold out by 2. Congrats, we won't be back. Highly recommend 3rd Coast BBQ, they are polite to their customers. read more

Came today to try this place ,went up the order line and realized no one was there but there were no "closed " signs . No one looks at you ,no one asks you for help .I asked another food truck next to them if they were open and he said yes they're open the owner or one of the employees is over there drinking . The owners back was not towards me he could see me standing there for over five minutes waiting . But decides to keep laughing with who ever he was sitting with.don't drink on the job it's so unprofessional . read more

A solid BBQ experience that I will try again. Enjoyed great food with super service. It's a simple outside dinning shack but very good. The moist sliced brisket was very solid and a great alternative when you are too hungry to wait for Corkscrew. Not better, but a solid number two in this region read more

Be ready. When Texas Monthly releases its new ratings, I'll be really suurprosed if his place isn't towards the top of the list. Then, you won't be able to get it anymore. The brisket is absolutely incredible. Everything we've ever eaten here has been top a shelf. If you love BBQ, give it a try! read more

Great food but OMG ... the guy serving was miserable ! Try a little harder for the customers, please.

This BBQ tasted like it had be heated up in a microwave from last week. Probably the worst BBQ I have ever had. Will not be having this BBQ again. read more

BBQ Godfather is ok. Not great, not bad--just ok. It is a 1000x better than Pitmaster BBQ down the street (not saying much), but it can't hold Corkscrew BBQ's jockstrap. My thoughts: 1. The sauce. Good. A thin, spicy sauce, it was interesting and unlike anything else in the area. 2. The brisket. Meh. Not bad, not good. Just meh. I didn't get any bark and just had soft meat. No flavor. 3. Sausage. Good. They don't make their own, but they do smoke it perfectly. 4. Ribs. Good. Interesting with the raspberry glaze and very spicy. But, overall, meh. 5. Turkey. Excellent. Some of the best smoked turkey I've ever had. 6. Potato salad. Good. 7. Beans. Horrible. Undercooked. 8. Cole slaw. Meh. If someone gave me some BBQ Godfather meat for free, I'd eat it. Would I actually go out of my way to get it for myself and have to pay for it? No. If you want BBQ in The Woodlands, it is Corkscrew BBQ or go home. read more

This place deserves a 10 star rating because it's the best BBQ you'll get in the woodlands! Tony does a great job here making BBQ the way it should be and with one little twist by offering Italian bread instead of tired ass wonderbread like other place it takes the whole experience to a level akin to meat nirvana. One of the hidden treasures of this place is the burn ends and if they have them be sure to get them on your cheese and Mac, you will not be disappointed! I can not say enough about this place so be sure to give it a try if you're in this side of town! read more

I love this place! Whenever I visit my family from NY, I want some good bbq, and this place delivers! Got the moist brisket, sweet potato casserole and pinto beans. All were delish! Sweet potato casserole had just the right amount of sweetness, beans were smokey and had a lovely creamy finish and the brisket is the kind of brisket this East Coast gal dreams about flying down to TX for! The people that work there could not be sweeter! Do yourself a favor and come here while you can! read more

THIS is my wife's favorite bbq joint! We have followed their food truck from Bernies Backyard to Deacon Baldy's Bar and Food Trucks. I really should say my whole family's favorite bbq but the kids don't wanna hurt Daddy's feelings. It's all good because I am well aware that the Black Angus Brisket platter is far beyond my grilling skills and pitwork. Shoot, even their pickles taste fresh and give plenty of snap with each bite. For me, the true test of great brisket is if the meat doesn't require bbq sauce. This brisket is that example, even without sauce that smoky flavor jumps out. The sides are pickles(previously mentioned), onions and jalapenos. All three are fresh, pop when bitten and work well with the brisket to alternate flavors and keep the palette happy. Our kids get down with the links and sausage. They love the bbq recipe and try to save it for...ahem, other bbq. read more

The owner is extremely RUDE!! They've gone downhill for sure. He hates his job, and it shows thru the food. Very expensive for grease! Doesn't even deserve a 1 Star read more

Sliced beef brisket is tender, moist, smoky, and full of flavor! The turkey sandwich had a sweet cranberry sauce drizzled on moist sliced turkey in between fresh French bread. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Me and my uncle went here the past two days and it is by far the best barbecue I have ever had. The owner is truly passionate about what he does. The second time we came he had remembered what we had ordered and even added things to our plates because he cared so much about us being able to eat what he had created. This place is amazing and should be known as the best place for barbecue in the world you must visit it or else you will never know what good barbecue tastes like read more

The food is great but the price is too high for the amount given . I received 1 rib . It seem the packaging was ,more expensive than the food read more

Burnt ends are amazing. Get there early cause they sell out of those quick. Combine with mac n cheese for a decadent delight. Deacon Baldys is terrific atmosphere for such good food. read more

I was skeptical before trying because of the food truck but was pleasantly surprised... The truck was very clean and organized. The turkey and chopped beef were amazing! Better than any chain bbq place in this area. I didnt realize turkey could be so moist but it was cooked perfect. I will definitly be back and loved everything including the sides here. The quality definiatly surpasess everyone around here read more

We came at about 5:30 on a weekday night- they were out of all meat except the brisket. Always a good sign to know they have been busy, but we were hoping the brisket wasn't the only thing left because it was the worse. My husband got a shredded brisket sandwich and I got the sliced - man was it gooooood!!! If that's their least popular meat then I am excited to try more! All the other reviews raved about the sides, we ordered the Mac n cheese and sweet potatoes. Both were okay, I liked the Mac and cheese the best- I thought the sweet potatoes were a little heavy on nutmeg (I think) but probably wouldn't order either again. Service was great, they were trying to make my shy toddler son laugh and he loves the attention. Definitely going again to try some more meats! read more
