Incredible BBQ with unique and delicious sides. The best BBQ Fred has seen in a decade.

1 small bun bbq brisket sandwich with a small bag of chips, 4 small pork ribs, 4 slices brisket, 2 small scoops of rice, small KimChee cucumber condiment, ice tea, can big red soda. The wife and I paid $96 incl 15% tip. read more

If I could give this a zero star I would. The service was friendly but........... $13 for two slices of meant and two small sides. What a rip off. And the meat is so bland, and they didn't give any bbq sauce. Horrible food truck. read more

Consistently amazing bbq with friendly staff. I highly recommend the kimchi fried rice as a side. You won't be disappointed.

I've lived in Fredericksburg for 25 years and have never found an awesome BBQ place...until now! It's a wonderful fusion of fantastic perfectly smoked Texas brisket, Korean pork ribs, creamed corn to die for, frijoles borrachos are the best I've ever tasted, Korean cucumber salad that made my taste buds say "wow"! And then we come to the banana pudding. Ahhhh, the banana pudding. It's like heaven on a spoon! The staff was delightful as are the owners! Eakers will be our go-to place for BBQ from now on! My mouth and my tummy are so happy! Thank you!!! read more

Yep, the barbecue is great... and I'm very picky. So far, I've tried Lance's ribs, brisket and his wife's kimchee, which were all stellar... but THAT'S not why I'm writing this review. All my friends know me as the burger king, and I gotta tell you that I tried their cheeseburger last Thursday night and was absolutely BLOWN AWAY! Man, what an incredible smoky flavor, perfectly cooked, thick, juicy patty that tasted like it was ground fresh from a fine steak. No mayo, mustard or sauce needed- just the perfect combination of lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles meshing with the juices from that burger. My advice- just order it the way they typically serve it, and you won't be disappointed! Having lived in Houston all my life and constantly updating my "best burger" rankings, this experience has compelled me to elevate Eaker BBQ's burger to one of my TOP THREE BURGERS in Houston. Of course, I know this is primarily a BBQ truck, but I just wish they would serve the burger more often. Oh, and the spicy ruffle fries rocked my world too. Great, great, great job!!! read more

The best BBQ I have had in a long time. Highly suggest the marble brisket. The sides are just as good. read more

I've been going to Eakers since I found out about this little gold mine. Lance and Boo have a very solid spot. Location is easy to get to, the place is clean and cool, and plenty of seating. This is one of my top 3 bbq joints that I recommend to everyone that rolls through Fredericksburg. The consistency matched with the flavors are a definite home run. I don't know what kind of magic lance does with those ribs and brisket, but they are some of the best I've had. So good that I've actually eaten lunch there twice in a single day!! The Turkey is on point, moist and flavorful. All of the sides were really good. Oh and those desserts will make your heart feel all warm and cozy. The service is top tier also. From day 1 Lance and Boo have made me feel welcome there with smiles and conversation. It's not just a subtle "hey or hi how are you" it's actual conversation with some very awesome people. This place will continue to get my vote any and every time!!! read more

Bark of the brisket was a incredible. Loved the actual pepper flakes. Mac and cheese was the best I've ever tasted. Loved the pickled onion with the pickles as well. Great food! read more

Excellent Bbq!!!! Meat is fantastic, sides are varied and really good. Always check the specials.

We hired Eaker to cater a special event at their restaurant after hours. The brisket and turkey were AMAZING! Really some of the best meat I have had in years. Sides were incredible, as was the boozey banana pudding. We tried the mac and cheese, beans, potato salad, and Korean cucumber salad. The venue was perfect for what we needed, and Lance, Boo, and Richard were accommodating and fun! Don't miss Eaker when you're in town! read more

Excellent bbq with a twist. Great Korean sides. Brisket was delicious. Great seating.

Insanely delicious and f**king genius honestly. Gochujang burnt ends? Are you kidding me, how is everyone not making this? Pickled onions should just be the standard for BBQ sides across the board. Owners are super kind and sweet and it's not even expensive for how dank it is. Live music made it a 6/5, strong recommend read more

I eat here weekly it's that good! Everything they make is always delicious and they're constantly introducing new things to try. Last week I had an amazing Korean spicy chicken sandwich that I'm still dreaming about, and their smoked burgers are literally the best burger experience I have ever had in my life. My husband loves the jalapeño cheese sausage, and the Gochujang smoked pork ribs. Don't forget to get the creamed corn - it's sooo good! read more

Best BBQ EVER. Prime brisket had right amount of bark. Pickles were delicious. Boozy banana pudding - OMG!

Love this place! They have juice brisket that has that perfect balance of smoke and bark. They also pair it with amazing loaded baked potatoes or their loaded fries. This is also the only bbq place that my daughter will eat turkey from because it's unbelievable delicious but so juicy. You must give them a try! read more

Eaker Barbecue is a local (Texas/Houston/Westbury) neighbor serving outstanding BBQ out of a food truck. Today I placed a To Go order for Beef Ribs (to die for), Brisket, Pulled Pork, Sausage, Turkey Breast, Cream Corn and Potato Salad. I'm eating on it all weekend - but everything I've eaten so far has been great. The owner was friendly, and accommodated every request quickly. Did I mention that it was very reasonable? That's refreshing in the higher end BBQ places in the Houston area. Like I said - it's a truck so their location varies. They are frequently in the Braeswood Square (Chimney Rock @ North Braeswood) I understand you can find out where they are on their Facebook page or Website. Definitely Recommend will be eating here again soon. read more

Wanted to try some real Texas BBQ while visiting from RI. I was absolutely blown away. I got brisket and several sides. Freshest coleslaw I've ever had in my LIFE - they cut that cabbage this morning! And the brisket was absolutely to die for, as well as the sauce. I arrived around noon for lunch on a Friday (Cinco de Mayo, no less) and it still seemed as though they had plenty of everything left. Can't wait to come back and try it again! read more

Sure enjoyed my first time at Eaker's. Bit pricey on the brisket, but not totally sure. Lunch only, maybe hope for a weekend night from time to time? I imagine sleep is not in their business model right now. Nice clean genuine place, employees/owners had the glow that only pride and hard work provides. It was easy to whip out the credit card knowing it was going to that kind of team and business. brisket, like others said super moist but still had texture. Turkey the same. both had a flavor i cant place, and honestly wont try.... its the Eaker flavor. Had the korean noodles on the side, because I wanted to celebrate their vibe --good, different, likely slightly muted flavor for local taste buds I imagine. read more

I'm the land of terrific bbq we found this amazing joint. Moving to Texas has gave me the experience of so many bbq places but this one stands above the rest. We weren't even looking for it but the place we were attempting to go was closed. We happily drive 2 hours now and pass countless other bbq. I'm sure they are tasty too but why take a chance when you can get the best a little further away. The owners are awesome too. Every time we have been there they are too. Keep it up. We will be back soon read more

The Eaker Barbecue truck has visited my office several times and I alway have something come up. Well today was the day! Really enjoyed the Special Pulled Pork sandwich and the Cole slaw on top is a nice bonus. It was moist and flavorful. I enjoyed the sweet buttered bun that complimented the meat and toppings. Forgot to take a pic of my cream corn. I guess I ate it too fast. read more

Food & staff were awesome! I had the stuffed baked potato & my husband had a sliced brisket sandwich! We will be coming back!

This was absolutely the best BBQ, bar none, that I have ever had! Melt in your mouth, full of flavor brisket! Super moist Turkey! Charming owners! No wonder it made Texas Monthly's best! read more

I'm a brisket junkie from way back, this bunch does a GREAT job with it..absolutely top notch. Great sides as well (apparently i was lucky enough to get in on a day they had "Texas Twinkies"). Great people, nice bunch all around, really dedicated to their craft, and obviously make great efforts to make everything there as good as it can be. I will DEFINITELY be back next time i'm in town.. read more

Authentic Texas BBQ served with a smile. Lance, the owner, puts his heart and soul into every rib he smokes. I've had every item on the menu, and never been disappointed. The fowl is juicy, the pork is flavorful and moist, and of course the brisket is mouth-watering! Simply delish. read more

Smoked burgers!! When Guy's meat market closed I was worried I would never find one again. Eaker's smoked burgers is scrumptious! The fries are crinkle cut with a great seasoning salt mix. It's an awesome meal! I've tried the sliced beef and pork ribs. Love them both. We are definitely looking forward to trying more. read more

Eaker BBQ shows a lot of potential and could be one of the good BBQ go tos in Houston. Ordered the Brisket, Ribs, and Pulled Pork. The Brisket was cooked really well but was overly salty. There were parts of each slice where the bark was almost too salty to eat. This could because the rub wasn't evenly distributed, which with brisket isn't always an issue. The Ribs were cooked pretty well but a little overdone. There was no give at all. I know to some this may not be an issue, but to me it's overdone. It was also a little too peppery. I doubt they use the same rub as they do the brisket and I'd actually like to see them swap rubs because that amount of pepper would be great on the brisket. Pulled pork was the best. Perfectly seasoned and moist. They have sauce but we luckily didn't need it. It may have cut the salt on the brisket but that shouldn't be needed. With a few improvements, they could be up there with the best since the hard part is the actual cook! read more

Loved this place! We came on a Thursday for lunch right around 11:30 and we didn't have to wait too long in line. We tried several of the meats and tons of sides. We particularly loved the Gochujang Pork Ribs and the Korean Cucumber Salad - Texas bbq with a Korean twist!! The moist brisket was melt in your mouth good and the sausage was excellent. The banana pudding (which was green for St. Patrick's Day) was incredible. Can't wait to go back and try more of the sides! Lots of inside and outdoor seating with clean bathrooms. We will be back. Very friendly staff. read more

Eaker barbecue was parked at Truckyard Houston yesterday. I stopped by and ordered some food. While checking out I quickly signed the receipt on their I-pad and tipped on there as well. I had my very energetic 3 year old nephew with me so needless to say I was moving fast. We waited for our buzzer to go off, grabbed our food and found a table to sit down and eat. About 15 minutes later the gentleman who was taking the orders and payments at the window came to find me to let me know that I entered a $200 tip and he was already working with his manager to get it corrected. Three things: 1. His honesty and effort to come and find me to let me know is reputable. Unfortunately the average person probably would have left it as is, and gone about their day. 2. Unfortunately I didn't have cash on me to leave an appropriate tip as a thank you for his great customer service, but I will be back to make sure he receives that. 3. The food was really good- we ordered their seasoned fries & the BBQ brisket sandwich. My nephew and I both enjoyed it very much. read more

Fast, friendly, and most important, moist and tender brisket and ribs. This food truck is making a statement when it comes to BBQ in the south. Thanks Lance! read more

This place is amazing. My fiancé and I got the turkey sandwich and the chopped brisket sandwich. AMAZING. Kimchi fried rice is killer and the cucumber salad had great flavor. Can't wait to go back to try the banana pudding read more

Can't say enough good things about Eaker Barbecue which catered a 50+ person party for us. It's now been almost 5 months and we're still getting comments from friends and neighbors about how good the food was. The brisket was hands down the best I've ever had - every bite tasted amazing and it's not just the flavor, the Quality of meat is unparalleled. The chicken was excellent, the sides were great (creamed corn for the win, but Mac & cheese, potato salad and bbq beans not far behind) and peach cobbler for dessert just a huge hit. Eaker's is a "must eat" for anybody in or traveling through the Fredericksburg area. read more

We asked around town who had the best BBQ an the answer was always Eakers. We where flying back to California in a private plane and wanted to have a Texas BBQ party for our friends and we got to the restaurant early but they took care of us anyways. It was a big order so it took sometime to get together and the owner insisted we try some yummy bites of all his other yummy food. They're proud of the BBQ they share and it shows. We got back to California and the food was still hot. I wish had taken some pictures of the feast read more

Competes well with the heavy hitters in Houston. Great brisket in the South Texas style... highly recommended!

Great barbecue overall.... The owners Lance and Boo are great people and put a lot of passion, consideration and hard work into making and serving their food. They are also very active in the community and are a nice family. The meat that they use is high quality and you can definitely taste the difference when you get your order. Lance and his cook smoke all of the meat themselves and it's very time consuming because they do it right. Low and slow. Lances wife, Boo makes the sides homemade including the awesome deserts, pecan pie bars and lemon cookies. They also have special weekly items and have some very tasty add-on's, such as brisket fried rice with an egg on top. Or you can even add jalapeño cheddar sausage to your brisket sandwich if you want to.. By the way their sausage was personally chosen by Lance after doing lots of research and after tasting a ton of different brands and types. Same goes with all of their meats that are offered at Eaker Barbecue. Their base is in southwest Houston and they post a schedule weekly, since they are very active on social media. So it's easy to find their location and visit the food truck. The service is also very quick and the servers are clean, nice people. The workers always wear gloves and they plate your order professionally and put extra thought and work into each order to make it look picturesque! Eaker Barbecue wants you to be happy and satisfied with your order, so they will keep it warm and make sure it looks right when you eat it. Also they are all very nice people to chat with and love your feedback on the food and the customers orders. The customer service is great and that's a major part of the restaurant industry small or big. Awesome food and great service, so definitely check them out if you like homemade sides and great barbecue!! read more

This is a must visit for all BBQ pilgrims. Korean flair on the pork ribs is unique and delicious. Great service, REALLY great sides. Kimchi is solid and worth trying even if it's new for you, but the red onions really blew my mind. Don't miss this place, and do yourself a favor by getting there early to experience the full menu! read more

I've had a lot of great Texas BBQ and my experience at Eaker's was one of the best I've ever had! The prime brisket had a perfect bark and was extremely tender (without falling apart) and flavorful. Even more than the brisket, though, the gochujang ribs really blew me away! The husband and wife owners were extremely friendly and each spent time chatting and sharing their story with us. He even showed us the pit. We were just visiting Fredericksburg but I would definitely say it's worth a day trip for anyone in the hill country! read more

Great BBQ, good atmosphere, fair prices, super friendly folks! We will definitely come again.

Very friendly service but I just don't see how a pulled pork sandwich and a small boat of fries with brisket on top comes out to $25ish dollars. We ordered the loaded brisket fries and that portion was surprisingly very small (think the small boats they use at BWW) for $12. Also ordered the pulled pork sandwich was incredibly underwhelming and for $10 it is just a lot to charge for something that tasted so plain. This place has a lot of potential but I think the current portion size and taste that you get doesn't justify the prices. read more

To be quite honest, Eaker BBQ changed my mind on potato salad. Super tasty and homemade. Oh, and their BBQ is pretty decent too. I would get the pork ribs or brisket with a side of creamed corn and potato salad. They are usually in the Beldens parking lot in the Meyerland area but are great at catering (had them at our apartment). Go check em out! read more
