    BBQ ribs, slaw, and pinto beans with jalapeños in them
    Leon W.

    My daughter and I ate lunch here today and it was not to my taste, but of course everyone's taste buds are different! The BBQ ribs were dry, the potato salad was made with too much mustard and the BBQ sauce tasted made with too much vinegar. But the Brisket, (marble) was to die for!! I would go back in a heart beat for the brisket!

    Sausage sandwich with potato salad and beans
    Irma D.

    Love coming to this place. The brisket is always so tender and mostly meat. Today, I got the sausage sandwich, which has a slight kick. The potato had the right amount of seasoning, and perfection. I'm picky with beans, but they are amazing. Baked potato melted and was devoured. Very quiet, chill spot with a bar next door. Friendly, amazing people.

    Found this hidden gem literally by just driving by. Very friendly staff and let me tell you. Fantastic Wagu Brisket, chicken and sausage! Pinto beans were pretty good. Potato salad taste like it was purchased elsewhere but decent. It was a little expensive but I don't mind paying for quality meat. Not really sure why the restaurant was so empty. On a scale of 1 thru 10, I have to give it a 9.5! I will definitely return.

    Ribs, beans, coleslaw, and bread.

    Food was amazing. Service was excellent!! My husband is a picky eater, but really enjoyed the food. Definitely going back!!

    Brisket and onion rings
    Tim R.

    The food is an excellent deal for the price you pay. Very fast and efficient and friendly service.

    Brickyard BBQ was recommended by a family friend. Place was nice, clean, relaxing, probably had around 15 tables. Not too busy when we arrived just before noon. The brisket was delicious as was the beans and coleslaw. It was obvious that they were training an employee at the register, all staff were friendly. It was the 1st time eating there but definitely not the last time.

    Exterior

    Delicious dry rubbed ribs and delivered to us next door at the bar...if I lived closer id be a regular at these amazing prices! People are so nice at the restaurant as well as the bar next door!

    The larger cup, beans. The really, really small cup,  bbq sauce. I ordered 2 meats so definitely needed more sauce.

    The brisket was kinda dry, not moist at all, overcooked? Or just sitting there too long. Definitely needed extra sauce. Ribs were good, fell off the bone. Potatoe salad ok. Beans had awesome flavor. Need more sauce and more pickles. MISSING the bread!

    Briquettes with 2 sides. Potato salad and pinto beans.

    I love brisquet, it was delicious. Albeit a bit expensive. That's the going price for good brisquet. The place has been there 6 years. Must be doing pretty hood. The 2 gentlemen there were pretty friendly. Clean restroom. Nice and quiet.

    My colleague s and I dined here for lunch, and it was our first time trying this bbq spot. This restaurant has a convenient location within the medical center. The restaurant was empty when we arrived but seemed to start picking up as we were leaving. The staff were very friendly. The restaurant was clean. They have two TVs and this is a plus to enjoy a show while eating. I ordered the loaded baked potato but it's not the kind of loaded that I'm used to; I still I liked it but it lacked seasoning. Even after sprinkling an excess amount of salt, I still couldn't taste it. I added bbq sauce but it didn't help with the flavor. As a matter of fact, the bbq sauce tasted watered down. I don't know if it was a certain brand or homemade. My colleagues enjoyed their meals. The brisket was cooked to perfection but something was missing. The soda was good and wasn't watered down. In comparison to other bbq joints I've eaten at, this place can't compete. The prices are excellent but I'd pay extra for larger servings and better taste. I do plan on eating here again but will bring on my own seasoning if I decide to dine in.

    Flavorless dry brisket and dry bread

    Unfortunately, worst bbq we've ever tried. Ribs and brisket were really dry, meat portions are small, no flavor and sides tasted store bought. The cream corn was watery. Even the bread was dry. None of it was worth the price we paid. Service was friendly, but the food was no good. Don't recommend and won't be returning. So disappointing.

    Brisket
    Matthew Z.

    Came to this restaurant on a whim on a lunch break. Generally I save bbq for when I go back to houston, but decided to try it out. Brisket (2.5/5): I requested the brisket to be moist. At $21 a pound, I felt the price was much better than the $28+ I'm used to. However, I felt it was pretty average. The smoke ring was practically nonexistent, and I definitely had a lot of leaner or dryer cuts mixed into the batch. Flavor wise it was decent, but I would probably stick to Rudy's if I wanted brisket that is priced well. The location is convenient in the medical center, the price is great, but I have had better brisket overall.

    Loaded brisket baked potato.

    Loaded brisket baked potato. This barbecue place is like a hidden treasure. The food was very flavorful. We were told very little salt was used, but it's very very well seasoned. No salt and pepper shakers needed. It was just a hidden treasure that we discovered, and we will be back.

    Party of 2, dined Tuesday 1730 and Wednesday 1230…read more OVERALL Great service, phenomenal food, good ambiance. SERVICE Cafeteria style. Well organized. Very kind employees. Expect a confirmation of the meat cuts to your satisfaction. BEEF RIB Acquired the middle cut. Beautiful bark (thin), juicy, tender, flavorful, smoky, beefy, digestible, fall off the bone. A single rib is great for 2 people to share. BRISKET Delicious bark, thick cut, juicy, tender, smoky, flavorful. So easy to eat. PORK RIB Fal off the bone. Juice, tender, smoky, and clean pork flavor. Glazed added a subtle sweetness that complimented the savory flavor and fat. Cartilage was tender and smoky. BONELESS CHICKEN THIGH Great smoky flavor. Not dry but moisture content was lower than expected. Very lean. Perfect texture to make a sliced chicken sandwich from. BACON MAC AND CHEESE Full bodied cheese sauce. Elbow macaroni. Bacon flavor was not overwhelming and complemented the Mac and cheese very well. GRANT'S POTATO SALAD Very flavorful! Such a balanced flavor of tang from mustard and pickles, herbs, and pepper. Well texture. Flavor went really well with the beef rib. TANGY COLESLAW Suble tang, not sour at all. Great cabbage texture, seasoned well, and not runny or thick. Great, refreshing complement to the smoky and fatty meats. Very fresh. PIMENTO CHEESE & CRACKERS Savory, hefty texture, and freshly made. Lights sweet flavor of Pimentos definetaly tasted. SMOKED BREAD PUDDING Must try! Freshly prepared upon ordering. Bread Pudding is full bodied. Sauces are not too sweet at all and add a balance of spice and savory. BANANA PUDDING More sweet flavor than banana. Nila cookies are soft. There is a buttery flavor and cinnamon is noticed! Good texture, not runny or too thick. BIG RED SODA Tastes like a sweet cream soda. Goes well against the smoky, savory, and fatty flavors of the meats and sides. AMBIANCE Cafeteria style, open seating. Cooling is just right that it does not alter the meats. Can get loud during busier times. The line that just reached to the street during lunch took about 45 minutes to get through. Line that just reached the end of the patio too about 30 minutes to get through.

I wasn't hungry, but still managed to eat some of the ribs, pimento cheese, and brisket, all of which were very good. The potato salad looked like deviled egg, potato salad. The pimento cheese was so good. I wish I had gotten a larger size than a small to take to go. It was definitely worth going to and we took our food to go for the plane the next day. The guys behind the counter were funny and helpful. Given the late hour, there was no line and we walked straight in.

    Party of 2 on a Sunday 1730…read more OVERALL Great service and really good food. SERVICE Seated immediately in a two seater booth at the bar. Lee was our server. Very attentive, very kind, genuine, and personable. He provided us entry tickets to a local place for us to continue enjoying our visit. GARDEN FRESH MIXED GREENS with SMOKED PECAN VINAIGRETTE Fresh, crisp spring mix. The cucumbers were flavorful and juicy. Dressing was smoky, mildly sweet, and tasted like mild buttery pecans. GRILLED WINGS Mind-blowing! Large sections, very juicy, smoky, spiced very well! Great flavor from the grill. COUNTY LINE BRISKET TACOS Unfortunately this item cannot be reviewed. It did not have a good day and was taken off our table and Bill. GRANDMA'S BANANA PUDDING Worth a try! Has fresh bananas. The pudding tasted freshly made that day. Great flavor and the right amount of sweetness! AMBIANCE The two seater booth at the bar had high walls so it was very private. Surrounding lights were low and our personal light was lit well. The booth had us feel like we were in a cabin smokehouse.

    Our first night out, the place was fairly empty for a weeknight…read more We had walked to the restroom from the river walk, and it was hot and muggy, so much so that my cell phone had condensation on the lenses, thus the outer focus pics. Place has an old-time western field to it with cows on the wall not sure about the skeleton at the bar, it's still fun. Our server was super quick and their homemade bread with honey butter was delicious! I got the second cut brisket with a side of potato salad and greens and two others in our party went all out with the all you can eat barbecue. Really the all you can eat is just the amount of food that they bring you the first time around as they bring out a loaded platter of ribs, poultry, sausage, and brisket along with potato salad, baked beans, macaroni, salad, queso dip with chips, and I'm sure I'm missing something else. My 2nd cup brisket was very good and tender with a strong smoke flavor. Their sausage has a mild almost kielbasa taste to it, which went good with the queso dip. The standout was the barbecue ribs, which were very good, tender with a nice bite and good smoke flavor and barbecue sauce. I wasn't the biggest fan of the greens, but that was more likely due to all the other sides available. Not surprising, I really liked the queso dip and practically polished it off by myself. I would say this place is definitely worth the price.

Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!

It came with 2 cakes. One was undercooked and one has a crispy crust. The undercooked one was my favorite. It is more moist with soft in the middle. Tuna Al Pastor has a kick but nothing special. Tres Leches was beautiful. 4/5. I like the fresh fruits to cut down the sweetness. The cake was a bit in the dense side. The icing on top was thick.
