    Banana pudding
    Jennifer N.

    Was in the area so decided to grab lunch with friends since we've been wanting to check it out since it got a Michelin. The line is long but moves relatively quick. They had already run out of the beef rib by the time we got there. Ended up sitting outside because the inside is fairly small. Service is quick, fast, and friendly. We got a handful of things, including the brisket with brisket fried rice, the house sausage, and the pork ribs. We got the street corn and poor man's macaroni along with the banana pudding. The brisket fried rice was a little dry but felt really homey, even having Chinese sausage in it. The pork ribs were delicious and the house sausage was juicy with a great kick. The brisket was well seasoned. And the banana pudding had great layers with banana and vanilla wafers. Street corn had a lot of spice, so it was a little much for me. And the poor man's macaroni was tomato based, which wasn't my favorite and probably would have liked regular macaroni better. We also got drinks and the green apple soda tasted like jolly ranchers in liquid form. Great food and cost wise not too bad! It fed 5 people with some leftovers to spare for about $125. Will have to come back to try their other options!

    We came in on a rainy Tuesday afternoon and got serviced quickly. We got a variety of menu options to get a good sense of the flavor profile and were disappointed. Everything tried from the BBQ fried rice, jalapeño sausage, street corn, brisket (not pictured) and rib (not pictured) tasted bland, like minimal efforts were made to really season things despite looking quite appetizing. Their barbecue sauce came in clutch though and saved the day. For the price point, we came expecting more than what was delivered.

    A much needed place for great BBQ eats in the northwest area!! Big kudos to the staff and the cooking staff who prepared delicious meats and side dishes. The meat was falling off the bone and the jalapeño sausage was full of flavor & spice. This was a great place for family and friends to have lunch, dinner, & everything in between. If you are in the Bear Creek/Copperfield area bring your appetite and enjoy!!

    Came here with our family of five and we were very pleased with everything they had to offer. Their BBQ fried rice was delicious and so is their poorman's mac.

    The service was good. I was not impressed with the food. The brisket fried rice had no flavor. The brisket was salty but tender. The macaroni had no flavor. I really don't plan on going back.

    Finally tried this spot! No wait time, but they were busy. I ordered the brisket and bbq fried rice with a side of Mac and cheese. Everything was pretty tasty but definitely overpriced in my opinion. Customer service was fast and friendly. The inside sitting area is somewhat small for their crowd but there's plenty of outside seating.

    Coming in, I wasn't sure how the combination of brisket and fried rice would work. Well, I am a fan. The brisket was moist and adding the bbq sauce worked well. The sides were great as well. Counter service and the food came out quickly. The restaurant was very clean. Me and my wife both think we would be back anytime in Houston.

    This is a favorite spot for mother and son eats our favorite is the barbecue fried rice. We get the same thing so often so that the team members know exactly how we order it; and the difference between mines and My son no onions order, we order eggs cook separately to add in our dish so they could be just as visible as the other ingredients. Thanks to my friend Tri I love the loaded, baked potato salad that tastes closely to a baked potato I even inquiry about adding lean top brisket to it, which would've been a small order of side and I was quoted nine dollars for a quarter pound to add to a five dollar side. Which I find a bit overpriced for just a small side to be over $14 when our main lunch entrée (which is a half order of the barbecue fried rice) and it is less than nine dollars. I look forward to the day they start a reward program, we are in here all the time. This My favorite small local business.

    Finally got to swing by Brisket & Rice to pickup some lunch for takeout while on my most recent Houston trip! It's a bit of a drive for us but I'm really glad we got to try it. I wanted a little bit of everything so I ended up ordering the brisket & rice plate + three sides: the slaw, the loaded potato salad, and the poor man's mac. I also tacked on the banana pudding because I'm always a sucker for that dessert. The friends I came with also ordered the fried rice for us to share. We took everything home with us but had some other stops in between so weren't able to dig into the food until about an hour after we got it. Maybe that's why the brisket itself was a bit of a letdown for me? The fatty parts were excellent but the leaner bits were a bit too dry/hard for my tastes. However the sauce helped cover that flaw up, and brisket always tastes great with freshly steamed jasmine rice. I also really enjoyed the pickles and onions that came with the plates; the tangy brightness really helped cut through the richness of the meat. The fried rice was definitely one of the main standouts. I would 100% come back just for that! Really glad I got to try it. The slaw the day we went was a bit bland for me; not sure if it was just that particular batch but IMO it could've used more flavor or salt. The loaded potato salad was also just okay, but I quite enjoyed the hint of spice and general flavor profile of the poor man's mac. I grew up eating something similar so it really took me back. The banana pudding was also great. I realized after I ordered that I forgot to get a sausage link since I was also interested in trying those, but I guess that just means I have to come back again the next time I'm in town!

    No wonder Brisket & Rice were nominated in 2024 & 2025 for a Michelin star restaurant. They served delicious food along with quick & friendly service. Brisket & Rice has a twist of Asian fusion and Texas BBQ. And to be honest it's well executed. My friend and I arrived around 5pm, although it was later in the day the food was fresh and prepared very well. I went ahead and ordered their brisket & rice, half pound of the pork ribs, Mac & Cheese, loaded baked potato salad & my friend got their prime brisket sandwich. The brisket and rice came out hot & fresh. It was smoky, tendered, and I love the addition of their Chinese sausages. I can tell it was made in a wok because it had that nice charred aroma to it. The pork ribs were also delicious, it was peppery, nicely glazed, tendered and fall off the bone. The Mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy and also had a lot of flavor. Noodles were al dente. Their potato salad is not your typical potato salad which has mayo/mustard/dill/relish. It's more like a loaded potato but sliced. It was very good. My friend brisket sandwich was also exceptional. Smoky, tendered and generous portions of meat. They have two types of bbq sauce but the mustard one tasted better. It was tangy, sweet with a mild heat to it. Honestly this restaurant deserves a lot of recognition. The prices are pretty affordable as well without having to spend hundreds of dollars like you would at the Pit room or Pinkertons. The ambiance is laid back with several seatings on the inside & they also have a patio as well. I can't wait to come back and try their chicken and sausages.

    Food was very good and interesting. Really nice portions so we walked out plenty full. We had the brisket with fried rice, the signature dish. We matched it with poor man's Mac and the Cranberry Almond Coleslaw. We also threw in a half of homemade sausage. I'd say the best of the bunch was the Mac and Sausage the rest was good but not exceptional. I have to admit if I'm going for a BBQ fusion I'd find my way to Blood Brother's BBQ where everything is more intense. Counter Service was friendly but don't expect prompt. The fried rice is fresh so expect it to take 20min. The place is nice, well lit but expect a crowded dinning room thus heavy usage. We had to clean our own table.

    Seriously the best BBQ I've ever had…read more We arrived on a Thursday at 7pm and it was really busy. There was a line and almost every table was taken. This is cafeteria style with you ordering and your order is sliced and plated right in front of you. We went around the corner to the bar area and sat inside. That was really nice since the main restaurant was packed. We got 2 of the 2 meat and 2 side plates. I got the turkey and jalapeño cheddar sausage with Mac n cheese and potato salad. Everything was delicious. The turkey was so moist and tender. The sausage was Smokey and spicy. The Mac n cheese was super cheesy and the potato salad had a lot of flavor. The BBQ sauce provided was too spicy for me, but that didn't matter. My husband got the brisket and pulled pork with green beans and the elote. The brisket was super tender and flavorful. The pulled pork was Smokey and tender. The elote was really good. I didn't care for the green beans, but my husband liked them. Really enjoyed this spot.

My experience here is why I tend to not frequent BBQ places, I hate being disappointed. The barbecue sauce (the signature and regular) were not good at all. Neither tasted like BBQ sauce. One tasted like tomato sauce with seasoning and the other tasted like a vinegary Tabasco sauce. The brisket was okay, nothing super impressive but no complaints. The queso might have been the most egregious issue (after the BBQ sauce) imagine paying $11 for tasteless, unimpressive, liquid cheese. Nothing in it but cheese and prayers. Adding the brisket (1/4lb for ~$9) along with a variety of other seasonings, made it okay. Ironically, reheating it after a few hours made it actually taste a bit better (enough to justify the price? Absolutely not). The mac and cheese was equally tasteless. One thing I think the Pit Room does EXCEPTIONALLY well is making pickles! These were delicious, seriously I'd go back just for the pickles (only the pickles).

They had run out of beef ribs, so we ended up getting the pork chop instead, and it was really good! The mac and cheese with bacon was rich, cheesy, and delicious. The potato salad was a huge surprise, I'm usually not a potato salad person, but this one was a solid 10/10. The only thing I wouldn't recommend was this French-style side (it looked like a giant turd ). It was a 0/10 for me. I took one bite and couldn't eat the rest. The peach cobbler was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really wow me compared to everything else. Overall, the food was incredible, especially the brisket. I'll definitely be coming back. 10/10, highly recommend!

Best bbq ever…read more From juicy brisket, pork, turkey and ribs, to sausages with glistening chunks of fresh jalapeño and creamy cheddar cheese. The meat is for real. But. The sides. Oh my goodness-that is far and away the best potato salad I've ever even been in the vicinity of-much less able to pound a spoon into over and over. The tator tot casserole is like a hug from the sweetest granny in the land, and the corn pudding and Mac and cheese are pure fire too.

Once you sit down with your fabulous feast-there are the kindest servers bringing you everything you could possibly need-from to-go boxes to drinks to desserts and they are SOOO happy you're in their restaurant-had to pull out some extra cash (I did tip at the cash register) because these dudes deserved more for their genuine hospitality and friendliness. Bar looks legit but it was only 11 so I decided next time I'll do better and grab a drink with dinner. Yes the queue was long at opening but moved quickly and obviously was well worth it.

A 2-year Michellin star BBQ joint was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. My friends and I got there around 10am and were lucky enough to grab a number. The number secures your spot in line but don't worry if you show up and they run out, there's a spot on the porch where the non-number line starts. We ordered moist brisket, garlic sausage, and the beef rib. For sides, we went with mac and cheese and beans. Everything was superb! The brisket melted in your mouth, no knife needed.

Yep, they open at 11am and yep there was already a line. I was shortly approached by an employee who handed me a paper menu and asked if I would like to purchase a drink while I wait in line. It was fairly hot outside but they had fans along the patio to give relief. The inside of the restaurant is not large but also not small, its first come first serve so get in where you fit in or opt to sit outside. I arrived to the front of the line around 12pm so it took about an hour of waiting in line. Ordering was smooth and it took no time for the food to be ready. Staff were friendly, and service was speedy. I ordered brisket(moist), pulled pork sandwich, mac n cheese, potato salad, beans, apple cobbler, and a baked potato. The potato salad was a pleasant surprise! It is not your traditional potato salad, but If you enjoy anything dill flavored, you'd love it! The brisket was moist and flavorful, melt in your mouth good!!! The other sides were just okay, not bad but nothing stood out. The cobbler was a bit too sweet and it did not seem as though the ingredients were mixed very well. It was like they dumped sugar on top and baked it without mixing it. Pulled pork sandwich was meaty and flavorful. Pretty good BBQ Experience!!!

You can ask to see the piece of rib before they cut it for you and they will happily oblige (patrons behind you might not be so thrilled with that move, but they'll live). Sides were excellent as were the mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side, green beans that were just tender enough, but also a bit crunchy. Perfect. They were seasoned with pork, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it. We also ordered their shareable onion rings, easily enough for three people that were huge, hot, and crispy. Let's get this out of the way, some of their prices are a little up there, but if you're anything like me, and don't frequent BBQ places often, it's a rare but enjoyable treat. Sometimes you have to splurge and live a little. Also, they have their regular sauce on tables, but you now have to ask the cashier for their sublime coffee BBQ sauce. Don't be shy, ask. It's worth it. Oh, pro tip: If you want beef ribs, the 'plate' is actually cheaper and a better deal than 'by the pound', so save a little money and get two sides.

Visiting from out of town and decided to give this place a try. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. I was not sure what I wanted to try, so Sam, the owner, gave me a sampling of everything; brisket sandwich, spare rib, potato, salad, coleslaw, beans, macaroni and cheese, jambalaya rice, and french fries. Everything tasted better than expected, especially the french fries, as few BBQ restaurants are able to get these just right. I will definitely return tomorrow to try something new. Definitely ordering the macaroni and cheese and potato salad again. Special thanks to Sam, the owner, who definitely took care of me. He knew I was from out of town, but treated me like a long time customer, which I greatly appreciate. Give this place a try... You will not be disappointed!

    Really good bbq! I ordered the baked potato with brisket and ribs. That's enough food for two…read morepeople, but I was craving a baked potato while not wanting to miss out on the bbq. The ribs were nice not dripping with fat, but not dry either. The brisket was moist and very tender. The potato was super loaded with cheese, butter, sour cream, bacon bits and sprinkled chives. This place is next to a gas station, but not attached to the station shop. The restaurant is very clean, and everything looks brand new and spotless.

    Houston has no shortage of barbecue, but this place understands that great barbecue doesn't have to…read morecome with a two hour line or a tray piled a foot high. The counter service keeps things moving while the food speaks for itself. The brisket was exactly what you'd hope for: a pronounced bark, a rendered fat cap, and slices that held together until they were pulled apart. The surprise for me was the brisket taco. Instead of feeling like a gimmick, it showcased the meat in a different way, balancing smoke, richness, and fresh toppings without masking the brisket. Good barbecue restaurants know their sides matter just as much as the meat. The mac and cheese was creamy, the sausage had a satisfying snap, and the house barbecue sauce complemented rather than covered the smoke. If you're visiting Houston, this is the kind of place that reminds you why Texas barbecue has earned its reputation. Efficient counter service, excellent brisket, and enough menu variety to keep you coming back.

Also ordered turkey sandwich and 2 tacos , one beef and one pulled pork. My favorite thing was the fixings bar. I seriously felt fomo when I saw the food being made. The portions seem small to me. We enjoyed the food though. I did not like the pulled pork taco, maybe because it got soggy. I would like to try some other items and also their dessert.

The restaurant is always clean, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the owner is extremely kind and down to earth. They also have a nice dine-in setup with tables and a lounge area, which makes it comfortable to sit and enjoy your meal. So far, everything we've tried has been delicious--the brisket smash burger , chopped brisket melt, and different bowl variations have all been excellent. Our order has never been wrong, which I really appreciate. Because I'm me lol, I asked, and the owner let me attempt to create something. I tried chopped brisket and cheese on my fries, but something was missing. I think if I paired it with their smash burger sauce and caramelized onions, it would be (I don't even like onions like that, but they were so delicious). We've also tried the BBQ brisket egg rolls and tamales from their frozen section, and those have been just as enjoyable. Overall, it's a great spot with consistently good food and genuinely great service. We'll definitely continue coming back.

But lemme tell you if you haven't ordered from these guys you are quite frankly missing out. If you have had brisket overload and you are sick of it we are in the same boat, trust! BUT this is not dry, or overly greasy, not going to make you sick because of all the fat. They use quality ingredients, and they have perfected their menu items, all of which circulate around their Brisket. Owner is there daily and it seems it's all family when ever I go. And honestly take a look at their frozen refrigerated items to take home and warm later. I wish I had pictures to share but alas everything was devoured
