    a food truck and a bbq truck

    Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Visited Deans Rib Shack this afternoon and it did not disappoint!! My boyfriend and I were staying at a nearby hotel while in town for the NCAA games and were craving some good texas barbecue. Deans Rib Shack delivered! We've tried a couple barbecue spots like Killens and The Pit Room, but Deans pork ribs and brisket were THE best!!! Falling off the bone. Also, I'm also usually not a potato salad person, but the flavor was impeccable. Chefs kiss! A must visit spot when in the Humble, TX area!!! Address here: 1918 Northpark Dr Kingwood Tx 77339.

    I'll definitely itely be back. Some bbq places don't have mac and cheese so I am glad that they did…read moreand it was actually pretty good. The chopped chicken sandwich was also good. I prefer chicken so I had been wanting to try this place. All were good and I am fairly picky with bbq. I which they had a few different bbq sauces but I won't down them for that as the flavor of the one they had was good. Service was good. You walk up and order. Food was given out quickly. We didn't get to try the ribs as we were told they were out but sounded like they just didnt have the next batch ready. Wish we would have been told that cause we would have waited but not a huge deal. Owner was there, at least I think he was the owner, and he was going around to each table to make sure everything was good. That was appreciated. I always appreciate when the owners are there and personable.

    We've been on a hunt for the best BBQ in the Houston area. Fire Craft was in the line up so we…read moredecided to stop by to see what it was all about. We arrived around 12pm on a Saturday. The restaurant was spacious, clean, not too crowded and the wait to order was not long at all. We approached the register to place our order and the young lady at the register wasn't the friendliest. No hello, no smile, just a stare. We wanted ribs but were told they sold out, however we heard another employee saying they had a batch coming off the pit. I also tried to order the pinto beans and she said those were sold out as well. We found a table and waited about 10 mins or so for our food to be delivered do our table. We ordered a chopped chicken sandwich, baked potato, Mac n cheese, baked beans, corn spoon-bread, and brisket. Most of the items were really good and freshly made. Baked beans were just okay, reminded me of pork n beans. The spoonbread had great texture but lacked flavor. Although the cashier wasn't the most pleasant, the manager made up for the lacking customer service. He could be seen walking around the restaurant interacting with customers and asking about their experience. Overall it was a pretty good experience!

    I swung by late in the day hopeful that they had not run out of brisket. It was just before…read moreclosing, but they had a little left. I ordered a 3 meat platter with fatty brisket, pork rib, and sausage with candied baked beans and jalapeno truffle mac-n-cheese. The brisket melted in my mouth. Delicious and juicy. The sausage was perfect, sliced into chunks. The rib was spicy, meaty and delicious, with a crust of dry rub on top. The candied baked beans should have been listed as a dessert ... LOL ... they were smoky and sweet. They were more a solid tower of beans with less liquid... interesting and unexpected. And of course, the mac and cheese rounded out the meal perfectly. The only thing that was missing was a frosty beer. They are not licensed to sell alcohol, but they allow you to BYOB. The food truck is adjacent to a large picnic area under a tiki thatched gazebo. It's outdoor seating. Needless to say, it's hot and humid. If you plan to eat there, time your visit well. There have games and live music on occasion in the evenings.

    It's not many BBQ spots in Kingwood so I'm glad they have one close to my friend house when I'm…read morethere to visit. I decided to get their 2 meat plate (Pork ribs, Brisket) which comes with 2 sides (Truffle Mac & Cheese, Baked squash). I'll start with the ribs, nicely seasoned with a hint of sweetness, very tendered as well. I also enjoyed the dry rub to top the ribs. The brisket was fantastic, I could eat it all day. The mac & cheese was good I just wish it was more creamier because it was slightly dry. However, I enjoyed the jalapeños that was added to give it a kick. I didn't expect to enjoy my baked squash, but I did. I tried their BBQ sauce by itself & it was textbook. Overall, great BBQ & service from the cashier. I was able to speak with the Owner Sloan who does the smoking, such a cool individual. You definitely have my support. I'll come back to try their turkey & sausages next time.
