    How do we let Yelp know this place is NOT closed?

    The website you are linked to for the place and the menu is for sale. You can't access either. Perhaps that is the problem. You need to correct that I'm thinking.

    Parking is limited, so I'd suggest arriving around 10 AM. We got there at 10:15 AM on a Saturday…read moreand found parking, but the lot filled up quickly. If you arrive early, be sure to grab a number from the binder on the water cooler table near the front door. The staff also walks around offering drinks while you wait, which was a nice touch. Around 10:45 AM, everyone lines up according to their number. We were #24, and it took us almost 40 minutes to reach the front and place our order. We ordered: -1 lb moist brisket -1/2 lb garlic sausage link -1.5 lbs prime beef rib (feeds 2-3 people) -CS tacos with pulled pork (comes with 2 tacos) For sides, we got the coleslaw, potato salad, mac & cheese, cobbler, and smoked beans. I really liked the smoked beans and cobbler! Everything was absolutely delicious and worth the wait. All of the meats were flavorful, juicy, and tender. The CS tacos were good, and I highly recommend getting the pulled pork to go with them. The prime beef rib was the standout for me. They only offer it on Saturdays, so definitely get it if you're there. The staff was friendly and attentive. Despite being busy, they checked on us frequently and even helped clear our table multiple times. Thanks to the incredible service, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere, I had a great start to my weekend!

    I've been wanting to swing by for a visit ever since I've moved to Houston, and wow, was it worth…read moreit! The food here was the real deal and they should be proud of having earned a Michelin Star, as well as being one of the top American-style BBQ restaurants in the world (only 4 hold a Michelin Star). The people that work here are also friendly and helpful, honestly such a chill vibe, which helps you get into the right mood for some bbq. What surprised me was that I ordered the Stuffed Potato Salad on a whim and it was out of this world! Warm potato salad (taste way better than it sounds) covered in chopped briskets, queso, ranch salsa, and green onions was so comforting and so delicious, I was crying! I also ordered a 1/2 of brisket and even though I had to take it home to finish work, it remained so tender and moist even after the drive home. The crust/bark was also so flavorful without being too much and I'm glad it wasn't just a hard layer of black pepper that was hard to crunch through. I'm also not really a coleslaw type of person, but their sweet & spicy coleslaw was the best I've ever had. I wolfed that down and would definitely get it again! We all need more fiber in our diet anyway and thankfully this is a painless way to do it (unless you can't handle the touch of spice I suppose). I'd really like to come back on a Saturday morning sometime with another sucker to accompany me, because an hour drive plus an hour or two wait on line is quite a big commitment. But the beef ribs are definitely on my radar and I probably will want to try their turkey, cobbler, and mac & cheese sometime. I'm also happy to say that even though I came late on a Thursday near closing and a lot of things were sold out, they still had brisket and that's my favorite cut of meat. I'll definitely have to swing by next time I have errands around here.

    Embodiment of what a Texas BBQ joint should be…read more We arrived before open and we're allowed to order and sit anyways. We were met with some of the kindest service I've received and even got complementary Lone Star's. All of the meat was amazing, especially the brisket and smoked turkey. I would highly recommend and will be returning. Quaint and obviously family owned atmosphere. Very welcoming, seating inside and out.

    I finally visited and found the ordering process to be very easy. I was able to walk right to the…read morecounter to order. There is indoor seating with restrooms but it was nice outside so I opted to check that area out. There is plenty of outdoor covered seating, with a tea dispenser and fixings off to the side. The ice is in a Texas-style, wood-paneled ice box. There is also a nice wide hand wash sink and paper towels in this same area. The moist brisket was a thick mixed slice consisting of both moist and lean, maybe the cashier didn't hear me. They serve Goodstock by Nolan Ryan, which is his premium line that's either Prime or Angus, so I'm not sure which they buy here, maybe Angus. The German style sausage is a little peppery, but with paprika or cayenne, not black pepper. It was ok. The item I liked the least. It's a fine-grained sausage and smooth and just tastes generic or store bought. The cajun potato salad was interesting and good..not great. They do give you a massive amount for a single serving. It's a tad spicy due to the cayenne. The banana pudding is very interesting and definitely homemade. It has a caramel swirl and broken chocolate pieces sprinkled on the top. This was my favorite part of the meal, but it's also very sweet. The owner let me know that they smoke the bananas and the sea salt which goes on top. The background music is good here...classic country so you definitely have that Texas vibe. Last of all, I didn't really like their iced tea here. Not sure what it is. The homemade bbq sauce is passable but goes well with their meats. Next time, I definitely need to try their homemade boudain, the ribs, and the Mac and cheese.

    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.

    Friends ordered huge barbecue sandwiches and I always get the chicken fried steak!…read more The chicken fried steak here is good, but at Kilken's Steakhiyse it was amazing. And the mashed potatoes and green beans were freshly made and fresh veggies! At Killen's barbecue the chicken fried steak has never been juicy, but maybe the chicken fried chicken was! The mashed potatoes snd green beans are mediocre. However, be certain to sample the nice selection of sauces. They are tangy and delicious! Good, but I tasted dishes at Killen's steakhouse before they closed. Too bad. The juicy sandwiches are piked high, sweet if you are a sandwich person, you will love this place.

    I came in on a Sunday at 12:45 and they weren't busy. I ordered a 1/2 fatty brisket and .4 pound…read moreribs. They put it in a to go box, probably because they didn't think I'd finish it and they were right. Lol The brisket was excellent. Juicy, flavorful and I was surprised that the burnt bark parts weren't completely dried out. The ribs were tasty as well with a sweet, black pepper blend and they almost fell off the bone. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. The only slight complaint I have is that the music was a tinge loud but I was sitting in a corner. This wasn't enough for me to take their any of their 5 star rating away though!
