Why 5 stars? Because the brisket sandwich could not have hit the spot more…read more --- --- --- I've had Smokin Z's bookmarked for a long time, but even though I go to Friendswood a lot to visit family, this is still just a bit too much of a hike from there. So when I was looking for a place to eat somewhere on our trip home from Galveston, I knew this might be my best chance. I'd originally planned on just ordering a simple brisket sandwich, but as I looked at the menu, I felt like I wanted one of everything. I was really tempted to order a loaded baked potato, but because I'd be eating it in the car, I figured that might be a bit too messy, so I eventually went with Plan A. One bite into that thing and I knew I made the right decision. It was so juicy and so flavorful. Just the perfect lunch for what I was craving. And then to make this love story even better, later that day, I went to HEB. My HEB happens to have one of those BBQ restaurants inside of it, and it's never open when I visit because I always do my grocery shopping in the morning. But this particular visit was at about 4pm. And I opted to order the exact same thing: a brisket sandwich, so that I could compare the two. I'm sure this is not news to Smokin Z's or their fans, but this was the most lopsided competition I've experienced in a while. My visit to HEB only made me appreciate Smokin Z's more, as the HEB version tasted like something made by my 11 year old nephew. I'm embarrassed I even put the two head to head, as we're talking about a totally different weight class here.

Our group of 7 ordered: Two lbs of brisket: 5/5 nice Smokey flavor, delicious! Beef ribs: 5/5 super tender fall off the bones. Excellent flavor. Collard greens: 5/5 tasty!

As I usually do in a new place I asked the employee taking our order what they like. Now this was a first. The employee said "I don't know. I don't eat the food here." I'm not going to lie this comment almost made us turn around and walk out. He could of a least told us what was popular or a local favorite. But to say you don't eat at the place you work is a little odd. So we stayed and ordered anyway because I had heard it was a good place to eat. I ordered the two meat combo. Chopped Brisket and Ribs. For sides I got Mac n cheese and onion rings. My wife got the two meat combo as well. Chopped Brisket and Smoked Chicken with coleslaw and twice baked potatoes. The food was good and filled us up. The employee we ordered with really should try it. The restaurant was clean and each table had its own paper towels. A nice place for a couple or large group.

After devouring the 3 meats and sides of Mac n Cheese and Vaquero Beans, I could only say that the weakest item was the fountain drink! Hahaha Nothing wrong with the drink other that I had no room for it in my belly! All meats seasoned and cooked to near perfection. This is one of those places that have BBQ as a condiment but it's not required... the meant is that tasty!!! The staff was beyond friendly and service was quick. The location was clean... what else can you ask for? Give the team at Texas Pit Stop BBQ a try at one of their 3 locations. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

I had the three meat and two sides, the brisket was great, the turkey was superb, and the ribs were the cherry on top. My wife had a baked potato with ham, she really enjoyed it. My son had a rodeo burger and he love it. My daughter thought her chicken tenders were okay. They have a table up with all the fixings, pickles, onions, jalapenos, etc. I had a cold shiner bock with my meal. The food was a solid 8.5/10. The staff was 10/10 very friendly people. We sat down and my son was praying for our meal, the server bringing out the cook to order part of our meal waited for my son to finish praying before she approached our table as to not interrupt. This was extremely courteous and I can tell you it is not the norm. We are fairly new to the Fe (approaching 4 years), and I think we found a go-to spot for bbq. If you haven't tried it, don't sleep on it, get on in there and get your hands dirty with some bbq sauce.
