VEGAN BBQ that satisfies any BBQ craving that my vegetarian heart may desire. Houston Sauce Pit's entire menu is vegan, making it a safe haven for all vegans and vegetarians. It's a good truck not far from Hermann Park, so my partner and I love to grab our go-to meal (a sausage link plate with Mac & cheese and potato salad) then head on over to the park to enjoy a lovely picnic together! They're usually pretty quick to get your food to you once you've order. Also, I think they might've updated their Mac and cheese recipe a bit because when we ordered it last night, it was soooo much creamier than before! Which we really appreciated. Keep on being sauce-some, Houston Sauce Pit!
For vegan food, this is as good as it gets! Enjoyed the beans and sandwich. The Brussel sprouts could be more exciting and more flavorful. Otherwise, great bbq sandwich for anyone looking for vegan alternatives
When in Texas what do you want to eat? BBQ! Being that I'm plant based I knew I would be having a hard time finding BBQ that I could eat but I decided to hope & pray for a miracle. I went on Yelp & Houston Sauce Pit got rave reviews and after looking at the menu I was excited to give it a try. They are located off of Almeda on the side of the street next to Turkey Hut. There was a long line when I got there but luckily enough I had already ordered online and avoided the wait. I ordered the the chopped beet sandwich, smoked wangs with Mac n cheese and potato salad. The sandwich was pretty good and had good texture. The potato salad was weird mushy to the point of mashed potatoes which is a weird consistency for potato salad. The wangs were ok I would have liked it more if it were sweet or spicy the sauce was more tangy. The Mac n cheese was ok. Overall I wasn't impressed with my vegan BBQ experience.
OMG! Absolutely the best VEGAN barbecue sandwich I've ever had. THE Hubby and I finally visited after seeing them so much on social media. All vegan BBQ food truck + black owned. Mad we didn't try this place earlier especially since it's literally only 5min from home. From the posts on the social media, they sell out fast (I can definitely see why) so get there quick and early.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 .
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
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.
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.
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

As a veg head for many years and coming down south, I am always So sad to not eat the wonderful smelling bbq that is available because it is meat - until I found this all vegan truck in Houston. HFS was it good!!! I mean like I want to lick the box good. I got one meal and then order something different because when you find something this good, you need to try more stuff especially if you are not from around here. The menu is all plant based and so flavorful. The smell made be drool. The staff was friendly and the food came fast and hot. Everything had the perfect amount of heat and flavor. I am hoping to hit this place one more time before heading back home to Ohio. Coolest part was that they were with other food trucks so my meat eating family could get both plant base food and meat. read more

"The Champion of Vegan Barbecue" Hands down this is my best choice for Barbecue Vegan or not. This meal consisted of the following: The pulled Veef sandwich Brussels (no pic) Sausage links Mac & Cheese The service was great, wait time was very short, no line, if you get there early and right after opening. This was my second go around and I am very much satisfied with the product. Bye-Bye! I will remain a guest here, however the journey for new vegan dishes does not end here it simply continues. 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

Great customer service and food! The chopped veef sandwich was delicious; I don't wanna try anything else. I could order chopped veef every time. Potato salad was yummy too, the Mac n cheese, it was meh, I'll try another side next time. 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

Great service, took a while to get our food being it's a food truck. The food wasn't that spectacular, I expected a little better tasting food but I will say the wangs we're actually good and creative. The brisket Mac was very dry but I will give them another try with different menu options. 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

If you're vegan, this spot is for you boo! If you're not vegan, it is an acquired taste experience. My husband and I tried vegan for the day and.... I ordered the "chopped beef" sandwich with mac and cheese with baked beans and my husband had the sliced veef plate with potato salad with baked beans. My elote corn was fresh delicious. 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

We visited the Houston Sauce Pit on a very busy Friday afternoon (around 6pm). The food is incredible and worth the wait. The line that formed behind us seemed endless. The customer service is on point. We will definitely be back to satisfy our bbq cravings. I can't wait to try their other menu items. Lessons learned: order online and arrive early because they sell out. read more

If you want the best Vegan BBQ you've ever had or just open to trying something new this a the place to stop. It's a must have every time I'm in Houston! I love pretty much the entire menu. I did try the brisket Mac for the first time which was a little underwhelming today. Side note the elote corn is a must have. read more

What is the meat made out of?
I think it varies depending on what you get but the smoked links are pea protein, which is my go-to. Hope this helps!
Is there a way to get delivery or contactless pickup?
Yes there is contactless pickup online
Any gluten free/friendly options?
There aren't any except fries I'm assuming but I would check with them
