They have no respect for the pandemic.
Rick F.

I've tried. I've given it my best shot. And I just don't get it. It's been four separate times that I've given this place a shot and I still don't get it. Now I have to give props for their style of the BBQ here. The best meats are made on a wood burning grill. No propane, just all wood and charcoal. So hats off for that. That said, I have to stop there. When I pull up to a place like this I expect to be totally blown away on flavor. In every bite I want to taste the passion on that grill. Each and everytime I've been here it fail short of passion. In fact, it taste like perhaps there once upon a time was passion, but that passion has fled like a divorced couple from a burning house. Sorry Brooks fans I'm just not impressed. It's a high price for barely mediocre BBQ. Everytime I go there to give it a shot, I leave telling myself to just stick with cooking it myself at home. Is there tenderness in the meat? Yes. It's just lacking in flavor and care. Even the sauce they have doesn't save it. Now maybe it's just me and the impression I got from reading the reviews. See I know how to BBQ. I know what I'm doing on a pit. And I have been blown away before on others BBQ so there is no hateraid coming from me. I'm just being honest. I don't get it here. I simply don't get why so many are so blown away on the BBQ. Based on some of these reviews perhaps I'm in the wrong business and need to go into the BBQ business. Again, hats off to Brooks for staying in the business this long and being able to build a following. But it's not for me. Oh and the service... Not something you want to write home about. It sometimes can be down right rude. And if you are Covid conscience then you may not want to bother even going. They make it very clear on social media and advertising that nobody can dare tell them what to do. Do not expect good customer service there. Just move it along like cattle. Be Nice and Prosper!

Sliced brisket point, potato salad, and beans.

My wife and I stopped by Brook's place for lunch. We were not disappointed. The brisket was right on the money, true Texas style BBQ. Perfectly seasoned, smoked to a tender texture. We enjoyed every bite. We had potato salad and beans as sides. The potato salad is tasty and the beans are great. He does serve sauce with the brisket, but it doesn't need it at all. To each his own on that. Mr. Brooks is a no nonsense man and likes to run his business his way. I can respect that, after all I don't have to go if I don't want to. However, I choose to go because he's a 100% legit pit master. I happen to align with his views but that doesn't sway my personal decision to patronize his business. There is a reason he makes it in the Texas Monthly too 50 BBQ joints. It because of his product. Keep up the great work sir, we'll keep coming back as long as you're still making awesome BBQ!

Brooks' Place is absolute fire!! If your looking for some Delicious BBQ this is the spot trust me. Ribs so tender chicken falling off the bone and don't get me started on that damn brisket slap your mama good(Don't really slap your mom lol). They catered my mom 60th birthday and everyone at the party was so impressed with the food that kept asking me now where is he located. I know your interested in pricing and customer service let me just say pricing in a little on the higher end but it's worth it. The last few times I've been up there let's just say Mr. Brooks was strapped and greeted me with a nice hello. Oh yeah total forgot about the barbecue sauce.I really had a come-to-jesus moment on that it was if was so freakin good. Moral of the review checkout Brooks' Place you won't regret it.

Smoked brisket

I've been hearing about Brooks's Place for some time now and decided I needed to go check it out. Got a chance to speak with Mr Brooks before ordering and he told me he's been there for 10 years offering catering, special events and general sales. He told me he doesn't need to check the temp because he can look at the meat and know it's done. Very impressive because sometimes meet can be stubborn, especially during a stall. I ordered sliced brisket and sausage. WOW!! That was the most tender brisket I've ever eaten in my life. It was falling apart when I would try and pick it up. Amazing! The sausage had great flavor as well. I love smoked food and this place did not disappoint. Go check it out soon and bring some friends!

2 Meat plate - brisket, pork ribs, potato salad and baked beans. Incredibly flavorful smoked Meat and delicious sides.

I absolutely love their food. This is hands down the most consistent BBQ place in the area. Owner is always present, friendly and strapped. I love their policy on firearms and that they offer a discount if you have licences to conceal and carry. I fell safe here. Even the menu is artillery themed. They are located in the parking lot near Ace. Can't miss them. They have lots of tables with benches. Tables always clean, utensils, napkins, lighters whatever you need. Definitely good for groups. The BBQ isn't cheap but it's sooo worth it. The crust and smoke on their brisket is a clear sign of a well crafted skill and process. Their BBQ sauce is so delicious I've been trying to make my own. I never get lean brisket bit I'm sure it's just as great. I believe the portion is very fair and I always feel satisfied or I can't finish it. Leftovers are delicious too. They have tons of sides, all delicious but sometimes they sell out of the more popular items. I like the Mac and Cheese, beans and potatoe salad the most. Garlic potatoes are seasonal. They are opened must days off the week and only close if they sell out. I usually visit around lunch between 1-3 and they aren't over crowded. This place has become a staple in the community. It's a treasure and completely unique. I hope they are around forever.

Brooks BBQ is a Cypress legend and sometimes South Texas BBQ truth is found in the parking lot of an Ace hardware. Got to meet the man himself and he even obliged a selfie. The brisket was moist and succulent. The ribs perfect fall the bone. The sausage was snappy with a nice pepper spice. Sides: Potato Salad, Beans, Onions, pickles, bread were the perfect compliment to the meats.

Finally got a chance to eat here and it did not disappoint! Perfect stop for a lunch break if you need food fast! Will definitely be back! The owner is heavily involved in the local community by hosting a free dinner for a family of 6 every month and lifesaving blood drives in memory of his wife!

Good BBQ. Pricey, but good. When I get a craving for a chopped beef sandwich, this is where I go.

Sura Shawarma Halal - Shrimp Skewer with Basmati Rice and Ten Piece Buffalo Wings

Sura Shawarma Halal

(3 reviews)

MEANWHILE; FEMALE BUSINESS OWNER!!!…read more Stopped here for some Halal Chow while out shopping and hanging with my grandson at the Premium Outlet today! Meanwhile as my grand baby was going in on his burger and fries from the burger stand, I walked over to the Shawarma Halal Food Truck! The owner's name is Sura; very nice, friendly, and welcoming young lady. She was working alone and was very efficient in preparing orders. The food is cooked hot and fresh as you order so please expect to wait a while for your food. It's really worth it because the food was delicious and flavorful. I ordered the ten piece buffalo wings and a Shrimp Skewer plate which is accompanied with flavorful Basmati rice. Everything was absolutely delicious! Did I eat all of it? Of course not! My stomach can't hold that much food at one time, lol. However, I have enough leftover for dinner. So, I'm good! This food truck is located in the Premium Outlet in Cypress near the front gate entrance where the Nike outlet store is. You can't miss it due to the fact that it's the first food vendor you will see as you enter the gates. My overall experience with this vendor was delightful. The customer service was top notch and the food was A1 delicious and scrumptious! There's outside umbrella patio tables for dining and there's also an inside dining area in the food court. If ever you're in the area shopping, stop by and patronize with Sura and show some support for small business female owners. She's such a sweet heart. Highly recommended!

I stopped by this wonderful Halal food truck while shopping at the Premium Outlets . I'm a big fan…read moreof Halal food (although still a novice) and was ecstatic and intrigued by the large selection . The food came out quickly and the owner was very attentive and nice . I ordered the Chicken Shawarma sandwich and the Baklava pastry . I've never had either and was pleasantly surprised . The sandwich was rich in flavor and sauce was great. The baklava was a sweet delight . If you want delicious Halal food while shopping at the Oultets , then this is the place !

Came here the other night to just try it out. We've passed by a few times but decided to stop…read moretoday. There are about 10 food trucks on the lot with big screen tvs, a lovely sitting area and a toddler / small child play area. It's well lit, super lively and the weather was perfect for an outside dinner. We decided to order from Victorianozz and Lil Weeziana Soul Food Truck. Victorianozz: BEST MOZZARELLA STICKS IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. 10/10. I'm not joking. My husband said the same thing. I'm craving them right now. Made fresh, and hot with a jalapeño sauce and marinara sauce. OMG. MUST Try. The Rigatoni was really good, would've loved for it to be a little more spicy but it was bomb. My husband also ordered the Lasagna. It came with two pieces of garlic bread. All of it was around $40. Hubby said Lasagna was 7.5/10. ** OVERALL 9/10.** Lil Weeziana: the first thing we noticed was that our food took a long time, over 25 min but hubby said the wings were pretty good! He got the house flavor and lemon pepper (10) wings. $14. Flavor 8/10. Not super krispy but okay because they were in the bag. The Yaka mein noodles got a no from me. It just wasn't seasoned enough, flavor was okay but no spice. 3/10. Overall 6/10. Will definitely be back to try other trucks at the park and keeping Victors is in my back pocket!

I came to Victorianozz Italian on a Tuesday evening, food was amazing! And Victor the owner was so…read morefriendly! The portions are massive! I got the lasagna which I took for lunch to work the next day and my son couldn't finish the Alfredo Pasta, so more leftovers :D definitely coming back!!
