This is a staple for Houston vegan food. The way they smoked their "meat" is perfection. I would recommend parking on the street as they try to charge you for parking in the lot. Today was the first time I fel the customer service wasn't up to par. They were out of the swamp potato, my favorite and then we received the wrong order. I ordered the brisket mac this time and would much prefer the swamp potato or Trill nachos over them. I didn't notice it until I got home. When you go get the lemonade too! read more

One of the BEST vegan food trucks I have ever had. Their mac n cheese is amazing and not like any other vegan one I have had. Their burgers are also so filling and flavorful with their special sauce - I dream of it all the time. I really want to come back to try their wings and nachos. The service is pretty quick the longest I have waited is 20 min. For parking, I usually park on the street right next to the truck (it's free). Love the music they play outside too! read more

PSA: if you're gonna eat here order online before you pick up your food. And by eat here I mean in your car. This is the best vegan spot in Houston by far. I've tried almost every one of them. The chicken is cool, the bone is made from some sugar cane like substance. read more

Hits that BBQ craving! I've wanted BBQ so bad since I became vegetarian and especially so when in Houston. This place did not disappoint! I ordered via DoorDash this time but I'll definitely be back to try some items fresh from the truck. I love that DoorDash was an option. The Brisket Mac was my favorite, but everything was amazing . read more

I attempted to wait in a long line on a Sunday afternoon. There wasn't much street parking around and I had to park in a spot in the neighbourhood where they required permits at 5pm. After a 45 minute wait and view of the debauchery that was going on at nearby bars, I had to leave the line to tend to my car. I came back on a Wednesday afternoon where there was a line of 4 people. It's expensive here, but BBQ in Houston has gotten expensive in general along with the vegan surcharge. The special, the swamped burrito was $21! They were out of many items so I ended up with the links plate with brussel sprouts and mac & 'cheese'. I took the plate back to the comfort of my own home and unlimited refills of water. Believe me, you'll need the water because the amount of salt you ingest with processed "meat" is enormous. The links had a nice peppery taste and didn't taste too salty. The mac and cheese had a strong garlic taste that compensated for the missing richness due to the lack of actual cheese. The brussel sprouts was the main culprit in terms of salt, being too salty and also too sweet. Not something I want to repeat again. My meal was good, but I had to keep drinking water afterwards for hours. The food was not something I would wait in line for though. read more

All the bbq flavors are definitely there and bold! The potato salad was my least favorite, more like mashed potatoes. Some of the best Brussels sprouts I've had. Overall the sandwiches were so good! Great for meat alternatives read more

I am so grateful for the growing list of vegan eats in Houston - from more restaurants offering options on their menus to full on vegan-only restaurants. Like I keep telling my friends: IT'S ALL HAPPENING. So when I heard about a vegan barbecue stand in the third ward, I made it a mission to check it out. The two first attempts were fails - they were either sold out + they are closed on Mondays - but finally, third time was a charm. Their menu is 100% vegan - they have "wangs," chopped 'meat' sandwiches and barbecue plates along with sides, like mac, brussels sprouts and baked beans. I haven't had barbecue in a few years, so this was such a delicious reunion with barbecue - but CRUELTY FREE. Wahoo. Extra delicious. My favorite was the 'veef' sandwich with all the fixins. The texture of the "meat" paired with their sauce - which they bottle and sell - was perfection. I also was a fan of their baked beans. It tasted just like traditional baked beans, but again, no animal products. Oh how I've missed southern baked beans. We also got the loaded mac topped with links and veef, along with the elote, which happened to be on special that day at $2.50 a cob. On this particular day, they didn't have utensils (not sure if that's the usual), so we took our food to-go; but there were some people eating their barbecue sandwiches along the street that offers some shade. Take your appetite, take your credit card, and take anyone who likes barbecue and wants to explore vegan eats. Looking forward to my next visit, likely this week. :) #blackownedbusiness read more

OMG, this place was amazing! I've been wanting to try them for a LONG time but I didn't want to stand in line on Almeda Rd. They were at the Power Center Food Court on S. Post Oak and this was my chance. Taste- The sandwich meal was so very delicious. For real, you will forget it isn't meat. The corn was bland but the sauce on it was finger licking good. Price- fair price for the meal ($12) in that it was filling with the sandwich and 2 sides, but the corn ($7) is way overpriced. It was small and just not worth the cost. Service- line wasn't long and Zach was great in helping us decide what to get. read more

I finally made it to this known establishment, to check out their Menu of 100% Vegan Options. I started with the Flame Broiler Burger with Cheese, BBQ Sauce, Onions, and Pickles. All 100% Vegan. In addition, I ordered their Wangs Plate, along with fries. In my haste to take a bite, I proceeded to my vehicle. First of all... The Burger was hearty in portion. But moreover, I have NEVER tasted a Vegan Burger as GOOD as this one. There was no putrid after taste. Extremely perfectly seasoned. And the sauce on the grilled burger was as if I had exclusive rights to the secret of a grill master. On to the Wings, or as they call them Wangs. The sauce was Amazing, yet again. The taste of the wings were pretty good, to be Vegan. I will definitely be back for More of this bite of delicious delight. Good job Houston Sauce Pit. read more

Holy crap! Explosion of bbq that was missing just hit my taste buds. Being vegan, you don't get that immersive experience with "wings" anymore. As much as I don't want to eat the animal, I wanna use my hands and get dirty! This is the place. Super cute food truck which was next to a fried chicken place which has no line haha the guy was adorable and sweet and recommended items for a cheaper route to try more food. Too bad I'm passing through, this would have been my spot! read more

oh, wow. This shit's goooood! And their setup is real cute with some comfy wrought-iron chairs to wait in, a standing cocktail table to eat at, and a picnic table or two with plants around. They have really set up a gorgeous little spot. I tried parking in the lot behind them, but it seems that is for another business, but at any rate street parking was fine! Now, for the food: I got the chopped veef sandwich with potato salad, baked beans and mac & cheese on the side (it was too much food, but I wanted to try a lot of things - yay leftovers!). The sandwich bread was really yummy! Kinda slightly sweet whole wheat type bread that was super good! The chopped veef was KILLER! I have missed good, wood-smoked BBQ since becoming vegetarian and this hit the spot! The texture was great, but not so good it creeped me out like I was eating meat. The sauce was DELICIOUS! My only complaint, and it is a big deal to me, is there were no where near enough pickles and onions on the sandwich. I want that crispness and tart to contrast the sweet, smoky bbq, so it was truly missing. Don't get me wrong, there were pickles and onions on the sandwich, but it was like 3 round slices of pickles and two thing rings of (red!) onion (I think they usually use white onion, per other folks' pictures). All in all, I'd order again! I'll probably request extra onions & pickles next time, though ;) The mac and cheese. OMG. I LOVED it!!! It wasn't trying to be something it wasn't, ya know? A lot of vegan mac and cheeses try so hard to mimic the gooeyness of melted cheese, but for me it's unsatisfying. Here, what Houston Sauce Pit did is brilliant: they didn't worry about texture as much as flavor. The flavor is AMAZING! A lil (just a teeny bit) smoky and definitely a cheesy flavor profile. The texture was kinda like eating butter noodles or saucy noodles, but not quite mac & cheese, and it was the better for it. There were delicious spices in it (it wasn't spicy though!).They rocked it!!! :D The baked beans were great! The potato salad was not my jam. It had some chunks of potato, but mostly the binding/creamy bit made up the salad. Not sure if it was pureed potato or something else, but I wanted more potato. As a personal preference, I like a lil dill pickle in my potato salad, but I understand not everyone does, so this also wasn't my favorite type of potato salad in general. All in all, I'm a new, big fan and will be back! Thanks for what you bring to Houston, Houston Sauce Pit!!! read more

This is a food truck FYI Location is in a drive up area with limited parking. I parked on the side and waited in my car. Food took 10 min Service was A1 and he gave me an excellent recommendation I got a burger don't know which one but it was very delicious. I got Mac and beans for the sides. Mac wasn't my fave at all (I'm very picky on Mac) but the beans though, FIRE! The burger omg was so good. I was very pleased with the the service and food. Not sure if they have a restaurant but I would come back for sure. Limited drink menu also. I literally finished my food in like 10 minutes it was that good! read more

Awesome VeganBarbeque!! Loved just about everything I ordered. The only thing I didn't care for was the potato salad it lacked flavor, if was jazzed up a bit it would make a great compliment to the rest of the plate. FYI this is a food truck if your not aware. The only parking is street parking and tables are not set up for eating outside. When the food is good eating in car is not a problem right? Totally worth the drive from North Houston to South Houston to try the food. Bona fide Vegan Eatery 100% read more

Honestly so good. And I am not vegan. My bf and I ain't here and we LOVED our sandwiches. Just as good as any meat BBQ you can find in Texas and I mean that whole heartedly. The baked beans and potato salad were equally delicious. I would repurchase all three definitely. Now for the Mac and cheese. Hear me out. If you're vegan our lactose, this is the BEST vegan version I've ever had. And I had a few. However if you do still eat real cheese, and you don't partake in vegan alternatives. Don't get this. Lol because you're going to be disappointed. Unless you're feeling risky. But overall great business and great experience. I can't wait to go back! read more

After watching the Texans/Browns game we had planned to stop at Houston Sauce Pit for after game food. Being from Cleveland, OH and vegan for 20+ years, we had to hit a Vegan BBQ truck as it's just not available up north. Totally worth it. The food was so good and the wood smoker smelled amazing. I ordered the plate: Chopped veef baker, bbq beans, and potato salad. The potato salad was different than any I've had. It had all the traditional flavors but was more like a mashed potato. I loved it. I loved the beans but the flavor was a little close to the main dish so I wish I would have tried the Brussels sprouts to get some different flavors. My wife and I liked it so much we ordered another plate to go. That was the loaded brisket with Mac and cheese and the corn elote. I just ate it for breakfast cold and it was just fantastic. I wish this truck existed in Cleveland because I would be a frequent visitor. read more

I didn't even know you could make vegan bbq, or that it existed. When I first tried this place my mind was absolutely blown. Houston Sauce Co., has a lot to contribute to the rising food scene in Houston. They have already sparked our taste buds for vegan cuisine and they have so much more in store. I love the 'wangs" and "links", so good I could bite my fingers off. My favorites sides, because sides matter too, are the mac and cheese, potato salad and brussel sprouts. Order before you go on their website about 20 to 30 min before you arrive so that your food can be waiting on you when you drive up. They are located off of Almeda on the side of the street in front of Turkey Leg Hut. There is always a line here so I suggest the online ordering they are just too good to not have a line. Keep shaping peoples mind into eating more plant based. Cheers! read more

This is some good food. I'm not vegan but i have family members that do not eat meat so we tried this place. The bbq had a good smoke flavor, the texture was spot on and it was delicious. There is a wait so in the texas heat you may want an umbrella. They did have water for the line (thanks!). My only con is the portion sizes are varied. I got the special trill nachos and it was a lot of food. But my niece got the link plate and i felt bad that she might still be hungry and her food cost the most. Her critique was she wished the mac was a little creamier but the flavor was good. Not sure how creamy you can make vegan mac though. I would say 4.5 stars but yelp won't let me be great. Definitely try it out but not if you're in a hurry. read more

I've been a few times since may initial visit. Just updating this to include a review of their burger, potato salad, and elote. Burger - was SOOOO GOOD! It had that smoky BBQ flavor and was nice in size...and cut in half which I appreciated. Potato salad - It tasted just like 'grandma used to make' . After having this...I'd rank the sides in this order starting with my fav: 1. Baked beans 2. Potato salad 3. Brussel sprouts 4. Elote (Haven't had the other sides yet) Speaking of elote - IT IS GOOD! So don't let the rank order sway you! I ranked it lower because of the cost. It is not included in the side options and is pretty pricey in my opinion...for elote. But, it was really good. Just wish they'd reconsider that price. I was planning on trying the Mac & cheese today. But, I forgot my wallet and (tip) their Apple Pay wasn't working. Yes, I drove from Missouri City to Houston Sauce Pit and realized that I had forgotten my wallet. But, no worries! I have Apple Pay and my credit card information. But nope! They said they do take Apple Pay, but it wasn't working. They also couldn't 'type in' a credit card number. So I'm reducing my review by a star for now. But, I hope that they get their electronic pay options up and running. I and my tummy were so disappointed. But, we will be back, with a wallet. read more
