Big Horn BBQ has become one of our family's go to spots when we're craving BBQ. My 15 year old son is definitely a carnivore, and his favorite thing to order is the pound of brisket as his meal. He is completely in love with it! He also has Type 1 Diabetes, so having the option to order just meat is actually a huge plus for us. He doesn't always love having to dose insulin for every meal, so being able to get something like a pound of brisket with little to no carbs gives him an option where he can just enjoy his food without having to think as much about his insulin. It may seem like a small thing, but having those choices makes a big difference. My girls usually get the chicken tender meals, and even the kids portions are huge. There is almost always enough left over to take home, which is always a bonus. My husband and I usually share the three meat meal. The turkey is honestly the highlight for both of us. It is really good and probably our favorite meat they offer. We usually get the ribs and brisket with it as well, and everything is pretty solid. I wouldn't say it's competition style BBQ, but for a local restaurant, it's definitely good BBQ and a place we enjoy coming back to. The portions are generous, the food is consistent, and it's a restaurant that works well for our whole family. The sides are also really good and there are plenty of options to choose from. The desserts are probably the one area that didn't stand out as much for me. I tried the bread pudding, and it was just not my favorite. The flavor and texture were a little different than what I expected. That being said, the BBQ itself is what keeps us coming back. Overall, Big Horn BBQ is a great spot with good food, big portions, and options that make it easy for everyone in our family to find something they enjoy. The service is fast and it feels like a cowboys restaurant with all the animals on the walls! read more

I've ordered from this location multiple times while passing through, but this was my first time actually stopping in to dine. They have good BBQ, but for me the BBQ brisket baked potato is the best. I get it every time, and it's always satisfying especially with the bbq sauce. The baked potato for me is so large that you can easily share it or eat from it twice. I also ordered a side of mac and cheese, yams, and corn casserole. The yams had good flavor, but some pieces had a slimy, mushy texture. The mac and cheese was pretty standard, while the corn casserole tasted almost like bread pudding with corn, which may be delicious if that's your thing. Since this was my first time dining inside, I noticed they had a large array of desserts and coffee options that I'll most definitely be returning to try. The inside of the restaurant is massive, decorated, and spacious enough to accommodate both small and large parties. The customer service could have been better. It's usually great when I order through the drive thru window, so it was disappointing that the service inside wasn't the same. read more

I went through the drive thru to purchase a loaded baked potato, chicken tender kids meal with mashed potatoes and gravy, lemonade, pecan pie and a peach cobbler. The peach cobbler was NOT thoroughly cooked. When I moved a peach, underneath it the crust was runny and white. I called to tell them about the undercooked food and got this response from the employee, "...well we ain't got no more peach cobbler so you can't exchange it." Not, "...we apologize that this dessert did not meet quality expectations, but we would be happy to refund you your money, or allow you to choose another dessert." This shows a common practice of poor quality or service and horrible customer service skills. read more

Terrible quality and zero accountability from manager Victor. I ordered a three-meat dinner last night at 8:30 PM (they close at 9:00 PM) that included brisket. While I fully understand that brisket naturally carries some fat, the meat I was served was overwhelmingly fat--far beyond an acceptable amount. When I brought the food back the next day to show the manager, Victor, he was actually on the phone dealing with another customer who was calling to complain about their food. I told him, "Don't serve people food like this, then those types of calls will be less." When I showed Victor my brisket, he completely dismissed my concern. He insisted the food was perfectly appropriate and that it was only a "sliver" of fat. He insisted that I should have addressed it with the manager that night. I explained that I didn't actually open and eat the food until today, but he flatly stated there was nothing he could do because it was purchased the previous day on a different shift. When I asked him who else I could talk to to resolve this, he had no answer for me. Victor clearly thinks it's acceptable to pass the buck and refuse to make things right. I won't be returning to a place with such terrible customer service. Linn read more

The food was catered for large event on a Saturday. The food was fresh and tasty. The BBQ chicken was moist. We even had food leftover from serving approximately 75 people. The service of delivery was on point. The price was right!! Even with high costs of most things, nowadays. Thank you, Manager Victor & team members read more

The last 3 times in ordered the chopped brisket potato and all 3 times nothing but fatty meat, not one piece of lean meat on my potato I spoke to the cashier and asked them again to make sure it lean meat. so much for that guess he ignored the request, not once but 3 times. read more

Service was truly a experience. Staff were friendly and professional. I ordered a bake potato with brisket and sausage.It was amazing. They do not hold back on serving sizes,so be prepared to get to-go-bags. I washed everything down with their signature Lime and Strawberry Margarita and let me say "that margarita packs a punch" so take your time.I definitely recommend this location because I'm definitely coming back. read more

good food. Not sure if it's the economy or what but we ordered two plates of food and was given one piece of bread. We asked for more bread and was told $1 per slice but they gave us one more as courtesy. While I appreciate the gesture, I am confused as to why we only got one piece of bread when we made two orders of food, is this how it is at bbq places now? Genuinely wondering read more

Went here for the first time on Sunday and the food was incredible 10 out of 10. I definitely recommend only been here in Houston for a year and still trying out new food places. This is definitely one for the books. I ordered the three meat plate. I chose sausage, brisket, and ribs with a side of baked beans, mac & cheese and yams. My girlfriend ordered the brisket baked potato, and she loved it. Ate the whole thing in one sitting for dessert we got the strawberry cheesecake and also purchased the candy coated peanuts put me in a mind instead of Star bites that are out of this world great and for some reason, they're not in the convenience stores anymore so it was good to see that inside of Big Horn barbecue The staff was incredible very informative, kind attentive, and it was very clean inside. Can't wait to visit again. read more

Big Horn BBQ Pearland: the brisket was wrong, but the management response was worse. Today, I ordered moist brisket with fat from Big Horn BBQ in Pearland. I asked three times because this was not merely a preference. The person eating it has serious chewing limitations and needed meat that was moist and tender. The employee taking my order repeated it to the person cutting the brisket. I then personally asked him, "Is this the moist brisket with fat?" He said yes. It was not. They cut in an area you cannot view. When I arrived home, the brisket was extremely lean, dry, and unusable as the protein for the meal. I called later that same day after finishing my work. Assistant manager Maria said I might be able to receive a refund or return that day. Manager Victor then refused a refund or credit and asked: "Why did it take you so long to call?" "Why didn't you check it before you left?" Because I asked three times and was told three times, directly and indirectly, that the order was correct. Customers should not be required to open and inspect food at the counter after restaurant employees have confirmed the order. What happens with drive-thru, delivery, Door Dash, or Uber Eats orders? Is every customer expected to unwrap and examine every item before trusting and leaving the restaurant? As a chef, I recognize that food-service errors happen. The proper response is service recovery: listen, acknowledge the mistake, apologize, and offer a reasonable correction. It is not to interrogate the customer and transfer responsibility to them. I was not demanding a free feast. I asked for an appropriate credit for the meal or total a re-do because the central part of the meal could not be eaten. I had also purchased an extra side, an additional twice-baked potato for approximately $5, but without an edible protein, it was not the meal I ordered. I had been choosing Big Horn because it is closer than Central Texas BBQ and my previous experiences had been good. But today, Manager Victor made it very clear that retaining a customer was less important than refusing responsibility. When preparing this review, I read a few other product quality, customer service, and dismissive techniques cited by others. The brisket was dry. The customer service and management was even drier. read more

The food was served hot and fresh. I tried the corn casserole for the first time, it wasn't my favorite, but my daughter really enjoyed it. They never disappoint with the brisket the meat to fat ratio and flavor are always spot on. I also ordered the chicken, which was a bit dry at first, but when I asked to have it changed, they quickly replaced it with a juicy piece. I really appreciated that and was satisfied. I'm giving five stars because my concern was handled promptly and professionally, and the service is consistently great. The staff is always friendly, and the food tastes amazing. read more

The bbq is excellent. The ambiance is equal to the food. Try the onion rings as a side dish at no extra charge, but you have to ask for them as they are not listed as a side dish. Whenever we have visitors from out of state, we take them here. The food, the smoke aroma and the staff make for a great Texas experience. Large tea glasses, great self-serve toppings bar and big pots of help-yourself bbq sauce are all pluses. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the ordering process. One person handles the orders no matter how long the waiting line gets, which can sometimes stretch out of the restaurant. But it's worth the wait (almost). read more

The earlier 1 star review I gave was the Pearland location, and have never gone back. Recently moved to Alvin and now frequent the Sante Fe location. This location is MUCH better. Maybe different owners or cooks? Better than most bbq in the area. Brisket and peach cobbler are really good. read more

Stopped at Big Horn on the way home after picking family up at the airport. It's was 8:30 pm and I was a bit worried that we would be rushed since it was almost closing time. That was far from the case. We were greeted by friendly, welcoming staff. The food was delicious! The bake potatoes are huge! My grandson loved the Mac n cheese and chicken tenders. It was a huge portion of chicken for the kids meal. I would definitely stop in again. read more

I picked up an a la carte Lean Brisket togo. The meat was really soft and very delicious with nice pink smoke rings, supple seasoning, great smoky vibes and hearty, beef flavor. All of these add up to what a good brisket should have. Even for a lean request, it wasn't too lean or dry by any means, but instead very good. In fact, I even cut off some of the excess, visible fat just for a little more healthiness and only used just a smidge of sauce bc it really didn't need it. As for the bbq sauce, it has a great tomato base with very noticeable sweetness, but I also prefer a little more peppery, spicy notes mixed in so it's semi-sweet. Either way, great brisket n pretty good sauce. I made some steamed white rice at home to eat with it and imo it paired perfectly with the brisket. read more

Big Horn BBQ - Fantastic Lean Brisket togo !!! - Barbeque Near Me - Pearland, Texas

Very frustrating, today! Living in Pearland since before Big Horn BBQ was born, we have been big fans, even hosting our son's high school graduation in their event room. But today's experience just goes to show you; one's loyalty to a place is only as good as their last experience. Today we placed two orders to go through their third-party service to be delivered to our home since we were working in our garden all day. We had to place two orders because one of our sons was not home yet. When the first order arrived, we opened the stapled paper bag, and only found two of our three orders, with our oldest son's cheeseburger missing. Upon our discovery, we quickly called the restaurant to see if we could get them to package the missing cheeseburger with our second order. Unfortunately, the initial person taking our call, placed us on hold once and then a second time after getting the gist of our issue saying that we needed to wait for a manager. By the time the manager answered the phone, almost 10 minutes later, our second order arrived. We told the manager when he answered the phone that the second order had unfortunately already arrived so we would still need his help getting the missing cheeseburger from the first order. The manager then proceeded to tell us that the problem was not with them and it was an issue with the third-party carrier and that we would have to make the complaint through them. We then asked, who was responsible for packing the order and then stapling the bag shut for the carrier to pick up at the restaurant. The manager said that Big Horn took care of all of that. We then we're wondering well how are we going to get the missing cheeseburger? The manager said it was not their problem and that it was the problem of the third-party carrier. He could hear our frustration but said nothing more other than stating that a missing food item is the responsibility of the carrier, not Big Horn. The manager literally told us to get a hold of the carrier to see if he would go back to Big Horn to pick up the missing burger; so we were forced to hang up the phone and try to file a complaint with the carrier. But the third-party carrier only had voicemail and/or messaging available for complaints; no human contact. So here we are after ordering two orders totaling well over $75 worth of food and sides; and all we can do is expect some kind of credit or refund from the carrier for our next order, and Big Horn has washed their hands of us getting our son his burger. So there you have it, one uncaring manager, and one uncaring attendant, and Big Horn has lost a large family of long time customers for good. read more

An experience for sure! We were in town for a competition and passed this place a few times and it was PACKED! Complete with charter busses! So we had to give it a try! You order your food down the line and find a table! Great selection! I got the kids brisket with green beans and my daughter had the burger! Both were great! I did see quite a few people getting the baked potato sir brisket and I regretted not trying it! Definitely a spot to try!! read more

Got sick after eating here, I had the brisket sandwich and potato salad food was ok lacking seasoning don't waste your time here

The food smells fantastic as soon as you enter and looks tempting at the pick up bar. The restaurant is large and probably could get loud in the evenings and weekends. The food tasted very good at first and second bites but after that the meat was dry and chewy. I had chicken and ribs and hubby had ribs and brisket. All the meat was dry and the yummy BBQ sauce could not save it. Our sides, on the other hand were delicious. We might come back. read more

I ordered DoorDash and they delivered. It was the day before 4 July so I put it in the refrigerator so that I could have it on the fourth and when I opened it to my surprise that brisket that they cut and put in that order was horrible I called the store, of course on the fourth. I just wanted to leave a message for the manager to let him know of a order that they sent out like that. I talked to Barbara. If I'm not mistaken, she took my number down a manager never call you all should be better and check out your food when it's going out to DoorDash read more

I drive by 2 days a week to take my son to his job. We have had 2 BBQ restaurants close this last 2 years. Occasionally, I crave BBQ pork ribs, and have had to order from Chinese restaurants.

Service was prompt. I sure know the pork ribs are awesome! read more

Waited in the drive thru for about an hour, just for us to pull up to order, as soon as we start saying our order, the girl cuts us off to say "just to let yall know, we're out of brisket, ribs, sausage, pulled pork". Basically every popular meat - insane. Disappointed read more

Big Horn is a no no for BBQ. I've always been curious about the lines and wondered how good the que was... I'm convinced these are people who've never eaten real bbq. I grew up smelling the smoke from bbq in my backyard...and ever time you heat the bbq up, the smell permeates the air! Big Horn will not give you that experience! When I picked up the food, first off the three containers of $50 plus dollars of food was a shocker. Didnt even feel like there was anything in the bag. The containers were not even full- and they were differen sizes because I bought a lb of sliced brisket and 1/2 each of turkey and jalepano sausage. No bread comes with the bbq. The bbq sauce (which I'm never a fan of because real bbq doesnt need it) was a thimble cup. The kicker was that I could not wven smell a hint of what I call bbq from my food. This imitation to the real bbqers out there, Big Horn is again NOT the place to be satisfied for actual and authentic barbeque. Maybe it was an off day, but I call it an awful day. Will not be back. read more

Annoyed review. Christina at the register and the gentleman next to her at 1:30pm- today, literally ignored me at the register, with no customers in front of them; when I came inside to get the silverware I was not given through the drive thru. I had to cut their conversation off because they simply were acting as if I was not there. I said excuse me to another worker and was ignored before this interaction. I get the lunch time rush is busy but their customer service severely drops around this time. read more

I like the meats but I am not a fan of their sides other than the green beans and broccoli salad. The staff is always friendly, too!

I ordered a rib sandwich short end at the drive thru at the Manvel location and it was dry, tasted like old meat warmed over served on a hamburger bun. Big Horn is usually my go to place for BBQ and this was by far my worst experience. Which leads me to wonder if I had dined in would I have had the same experience? read more

Spent a lot of money on a to go order to not get the side order for my chicken fried steak, two things of white gravy, no sauce for my wife's pulled pork sandwich. This place comes highly rated by my church, but I don't see how. read more

It was my first time with this place. As soon as we get inside you could smell the smoke bbq. Makes you want to order a lot of food. The place was clean. The food is excellent. Service is great too.

Location is not bad for being in a gas station (or having a gas station). Inside is very country. Feels like you in the back woods of Texas Sadly, that's where the pleasantries end. The service was seemingly annoyed when I asked a questions about portion options. Presentation on the plate was simple and clean. The food itself is simply NOT good. The brisket is closer to jerky that something that's supposed to be supple and elastic. The sides were super bland and unimpressive. The BBQ sauce and then bread were okay. It's hard to think it would be dramatically different on a second visit but I may come back to try some options other than the brisket. read more

Big Horn BBQ is always a memorable stop in Pearland. The restaurant has a nice 'Texas BBQ restaurant' aesthetic and there are plenty of comfortable seating options. Makes sense. Interestingly enough, its located in a gas station and includes a large gift shop and convenience store. It's fun, exciting and the BBQ is good. I like the burgers here and would recommend their HOSS double burger...or simply "THE HOSS." Moreover, the service here is always friendly and the wait is usually not too bad. As of this review, the restaurant has live music every Friday and Saturday from 6-9 pm. read more
