Went there the other night based on Yelp reviews. Ordered the beef ribs since I rarely see them at a BBQ. Got to the drive in window and asked them if I could get a sample of the spicy sausage. Told him (maybe the owner?) it was my first time there. He gave me samples of the ox tail over rice (never had ox tail, but it was damn good! He said they serve 80 cases a week). Got sausage samples of two or three different ones, and a small slice of turkey (real slice of Brest, not pressed and formed). Awesome! The beef ribs were very good! A ton of fat on the top, but even after taking that off, there was a huge amount of meat. I can eat big, but I was stuffed on two ribs. They didn't give you the fat instead of the meat, they gave you the fat in addition to the meat. I can deal with that! The green beans were very good. The red beans and rice were on point. I noticed that the sides were very fresh. I read the menu and it said everything was home made - no cans. I totally believe it. I came back the next day and got a rack of pork ribs, spicy brisket sausage and a turkey leg. It filled three of us up with leftovers. While I might have had better ribs in my life, all of the food was really, really good. If you have read my other reviews, you probably know that I am very picky and hard on places. I pay good money, I want good food. This place rocks. Can't wait to try everything else they have, especially the sides which totally rock! Five stars. Six if I could. Ps. I was gonna post pictures, but I was so into the ribs, by the time I thought of it, there were only bones and fat. That don't make a good picture! The pictures on here look totally true to form. read more

The server was nice and friendly..we got 3 to go orders...the pork ribs weren't cooked all the way through..the sausage was decent.all the sides , for all three meals were nasty..the greens were spoiled...the sweet potatoes were RUNNY ,YES I SAID RUNNY...,not sure how the managed that..the cabbage was spoiled..had a tangy flavor..my wife and I threw away all the sides except the slaw..I think thye reheated food too many times...we used to frequent the one on crosstimbers..I guess they need a new manager or they sold to someone...what a let down...they get 2 stars because the oxtail were good and tender...the only thing cooked correctly...not sure about crosstimbers but you should bypass this olace...did I mention brisket was TASTELESS...HARD TO DONWHEN ALL YOU JAVE TO SEASON A BRISKET WITH IS SALT AND PEPPER...AND LET IT COOK SLOW...THIS HAD ALMPST NO SMOKE.

I get drive thru, as I'm heading home occasionally. The attendant is friendly service is quick. Last time I had a turkey sandwich and a brisket Baked potato. The potato was great wish there was a bit more meat, extra was $6.50 so I didn't get it. The turkey the next day had a spongy texture- I'll stick w/ fried shrimp and brisket potato next time. Sorry I forgot pictures. read more

I don't typically leave reviews but I felt the need to warn others that this BBQ is dry & not good! No wonder they tried to cover it in sauce. I got 3 meats, brisket, chicken & sausage & everything was DRY, no juiciness to be found! The sides (Mac & Cheese & Cabbage) were not seasoned either. Never again. Customer service was good but the food doesn't match. read more

I ordered a sausage sandwich and it was honestly the worst one I've ever had. The sausage looked like it had been chewed up and spit back out -- I've never seen sausage served like that before. The texture and appearance were completely unappetizing, and I couldn't even finish it because it was basically inedible. Really disappointing experience! I've never been back! I gag just thinking about the taste and look of the sandwich! read more

I see why the farmer is hungry. Ordered the Farmer's Supper and it was nothing to write home about. First thing I noticed was the chunky potato salad. The macoroni looked as if it was watered down and I was correct. The sausage was ok. The ham was ok. The one rib tasted as if it was cooked for thanksgiving and not very well. The brisket was mushy. The half chicken was disappointing. It is a shame these animals had to die for this read more

I ordered a for me plate The meat was not done when I called back to explain that the meat was not fully cooked I do not eat raw pork the individual I spoke to was very very very rude and told me if I wanted to I could bring the meat back up there and complain to the cook they won't have to worry about me anymore read more

I came in there today and found out they have catfish. I have been looking all over Southwest Huston for catfish and they had it and it was delicious and their green beans were seasoned just right and their coleslaw was good. I have no complaints whatsoever about my meal, my friends all got baked potato with sliced beef on top of it. It looked really good, but mine was fantastic. Thank you for such a lovely meal. read more

prices went up! It would be ok if whom ever made my bbq baked hadn't been so skimpy wit h the meat! Literally less meat these days. What a disappointmen! read more

Ordered to go from this place cause it was nearby the mechanic. They have good pricing for their meat plates. It's a hot line so the food is already premade and they fix your plate with your requests. I would like more flavor in general but I liked the sausage and the greens. My favorite thing however was their cheesecake! It was smooth and perfectly sweet. read more

I love this place. It's not the best BBQ I've ever had, but it is still damn good. The place is old, but it's always clean. Their daily specials are pretty awesome: cheap, delicious, gets you full! The drive-thru lane adds convenience, if you can't or don't want to get out of the car. Service is always fast and polite. My favorite items are the giant and loaded BBQ potatoes with chopped beef/brisket, ribs, all of the homemade sides, and peach cobbler. Those are my go-to foods there, but I've tried almost everything, and it's all good. I think it's impossible to have a bad meal here; at least that's been my experience. Go try it already! read more

This review is strictly for the brisket. Not sure what 3 day old hobby lobby experiment I got for my order, but this was probably the worst effort for a brisket. Overcooked, dry, and not sure but I don't think the fat should render looking like a bead of hot glue. Straight to the trash can! Y'all ain't gonna chubby emu my family! Don't even get me started on the sauce... y'all need to quit playing lol. read more

Nice home cooking establishment specializing in BBQ and other local dishes. I favor the Oxtails and Peach Cobbler for dessert. The Chicken Fried Steak is also flavorable. The decor of the place is also something to see. Many items appear to be antiques or vintage. There is plenty of outside seating and booths on the inside. It is usually pretty empty though with more people opting for drive-through or takeout. Meals typically come with two sides and cornbread. read more

Hungry Farmer Bar-B-Q - Ceiling - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Staff was friendly, place was clean, but the food is a different story. I got a chopped beef sandwich with potato salad and my stomach was not okay. The potato salad was a bit on the liquid side (never had a potato salad with liquid like mayo and mustard), had bell peppers, and was sweet. Not my cup of tea, but to each their own. The chopped beef sandwich could have been better, bun should have been toasted and more barbecue sauce as well. I got a lot of beef fat in my sandwich, would've appreciated more beef instead. It was a nice try, but won't be coming here again. read more

I have lived in Texas my whole life and this so called BBQ is just sad!!! Pork ribs r like cooked in microwave and Th Brisket like cooked in an oven!!!

The food is always delicious here, we usually get the Mon/Tue special the smothered hamburger steak, alternate the sides, the sweet potatoes is my favorite, my husband likes the green beans and my son prefers the Mac and cheese. My younger son would always get the baked potato with chopped brisket but he ordered the ox tails a few months ago and now that's his favorite. Service is always prompt and friendly. I've only eaten there once and the restaurant was clean with plenty of seating. I always go through the drive thru. So glad it's close to home, the food is still hot when I get home. read more

Great service, ok food. I went through the drive thru and ordered a 2-meat plate with spicy beef sausage and turkey. Sides were jambalaya and cabbage. Taste 3/5 The sausage and turkey were tasty. The meat was well-seasoned without being overly salty or smoky. The BBQ sauce is not too sweet and not too tangy. It's a tad on the thin side but good. The cabbage was super sweet. It was quite flavorful but there was no meat in my serving. I didn't like the jambalaya. I could not quite tell if it was a seasoning I wasn't familiar with or if it was beginning to turn bad. Regardless, I opted not to eat it. I was hoping the sweet potato pie would have been homemade but no luck. It was fair at best. Quantity 3/5 Good portions of meat and average sides. Service 5/5 The guy working the drive thru was awesome. He was very personable and offered me a sample of the beef brisket so I can order it on my next visit. Hmmm...I might give it a try on a baked potato. read more

I ordered the bbq baked potato, it came with chicken, shredded cheese, and ricotta cheese. Very very bland, it did not have a lot of meat I had to add my own bbq sauce and seasonings and I just couldn't finish it I was so disappointed. I also ordered a large smoked turkey leg, first of all they gave me two small legs and both were hard as rocks. I couldn't even bite it. A total waste of money and I would not go back. 0/10 would not recommend. Don't let the ratings fool you. read more

I have been coming to this location for years with no problems but lately ... I am not understanding if a pick up order is placed 10 minutes prior to picking up why should the customer have to wait, if it takes less than 2 minutes? This is the second time this has happened. The cashier states it "takes 1 minute to make" my order but yet I waited well over that. In addition my order was incorrect for the second time. So inconvenient when someone is on lunch and is pushing for time. read more

Hungry Farmer BBQ never feels and it's food it is always delicious so you know the mom and pop place is going to be here forever however the two stars go to the fact that through Uber's menu that I used to order from this place I could have sworn that I asked for fries just regular fries and yet no fries were given upon delivery the driver didn't have any and I wasn't about to call up hungry Farmer for all this I just wanted to enjoy my email but just be warned enjoy the food but they don't follow directions to the letter all the time for example this one other time for notes I said no bacon on a baked potato it wasn't mine but I was wondering it for someone and they still had bacon yeah sure I could pick it up but what's the point if I'm instructing you to do something again top marks with the two stars is just for human error read more

I'll Start Off By Saying This Location Is Situated Near A Sorta Busy Intersection. But Once We Did Finally Make It To The Door We Were Greeted With A Cafeteria Like Feel. I Ordered The Fried Fish With Mac & Cheese And Sweet Potatoes. While My Friend Had The Ribs With Pinto Beans & Sweet Potatoes. The Fish Tasted Like It Had Been Freezer Burnt The First Bite Was Water & Grease , While The Mac & Cheese Tasted Very Much So Like Kraft. And The Ribs Were Lukewarm & Rubbery. I Also Messed Up When I Purchased Dessert I Had The Peach Cobbler & Pecan Pie. The Peach Cobbler Tasted Store Bought & The Pecan Pie Was Mostly Filling Versus Pecans & Crust. I'll Probably Try This Place Again On A Weekday. read more

Last week, I took my perfectly seasoned brisket ONLY to be smoked and sliced at the Post Oak location. The brisket weighed 25 lbs upon arrival at the restaurant. It took two hands to carry it. When I picked the brisket up, it weighed approximately half of that. They had taken over half of my meat and partially replaced it with what could only be described as beef jerky. On top was the remnants of brisket that they smoked for me. At the bottom of the pan was hard, old, leftover brisket as a filler. So in actuality, they stole over half of my brisket to either take home or to sell in their steamer. When I questioned them about the incident they couldn't explain. All they could say was they didn't weigh the meat. However, my Randall's wrapper stated 25lbs. When I left there with the brisket, it only took one hand to carry it. You do the math. My big mistake was trusting them to slice my meat. I guess it was one slice for me and two slices for them. They are horrible and should not be trusted!!! Do Not Patronize!!!! Absolutely No stars!!!! read more

Once again, one of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant since probably the last time I ordered from here. This is officially the last. Ok, so I ordered through ubereats, easy order, Mixed platter (lean chopped beef in the notes), and a turkey dinner. The mixed platter comes with brisket, ribs, and sausage. 45min later it shows up.... turkey dinner and lean chopped beef. Obviously confused we call the restaurant and try to explain the situation and find out where the rest of the order is. This guy on the phone goes around and around telling me 'I put chopped beef in the note, so that's all I got." We further try to explain "the mixed platter is on your menu and tells you what come with it. Brisket being one of those item, we specified that we wanted lean and chopped ( we all know it usually doesn't come this way unless it's asked for)". No, progress, dudes still arguing, then finally get the manager. We explain the situation to the manager, he's way more understanding of the situation ( probably because he actually listened instead of just arguing) and tells us whenever we want to come get the rest of our order we can on the house. Awesome, right. Wrong, then we eat the food we actually got. First, I want to say I know ordering food for delivery isn't gonna be the quality of ordering and eating on the spot, I have accepted that, but this turkey was the old, driest, inedible turkey we've ever had, the sides pretty trash, and the lone chopped brisket was ok at best. Frankly, they can keep there free food, I'd rather eat bead and water at home. read more

5/24/14 11:39am - I am a big fan of Hungry Farmer. I love their Crosstimbers location so naturally I wanted to sample their S Postoak restaurant. I like the whole vibe of Hungry Farmer. Lets start with the clever name that is a play on the idiom "Eat like a farmer". The decor is late 1970's urban cowboy/truck stop/hunting lodge. The biggest kick are the horrible pictures of the food and plate dinners. These drab yellowish pictures look like something out of a 1970's cookbook your grandmother owns. The pictures are as appetizing as a school lunch. They are wretched. How Hungry Farmer is not a Houston landmark baffles me. They have been around since 1973 serving great BBQ in some of the worst locations. So much better than the other Houston BBQ grandpas. I scored the S. Postoak Hungry Farmer an 84 out 100. Reserve Grand Champion BBQ. Not as good as the Crosstimbers location. See my earlier post. Smoke: Hickory. There is a large smoke stack in the back and a large stack of wood. They use wood fired Olyers at the original, I assume they have the same here. Brisket: Good. A sad slice compared to Crosstimbers. A 1/8in smoke ring beneath a thin bark. They got the tenderness nearly perfect. Flavor was just beef and mild smoke. Use the sauce. Ribs: Very Good. A big meaty Memphis style spare rib. Smoked slow and then thrown on a hot grill. A nice red smoke ring beneath a bronze bark with grill marks. The smokey porky rib meat was moist and tender. No sauce needed for these babies. Sausage: Excellent. A medium ground pork link with bold traditional spice and nice peppery aftertaste. It was moist and a little greasy and had a mild smoke flavor. No sauce needed. Sauce: Fair. Wow this was bad. A dark brown stew thick tangy spicy sauce. It was bitter and the sauce developed a skin, eweh! It made everything taste worse. Skip all together. read more

Located between the hood and barios. Very out of place, Since it had metal walls and looks like a safe house, we went in. This bar-b-q joint was born on the same year as yours truly, and it serves to prove 1975 was a good year! Food: Beef rib plate special- This was the best ever! I literally thought there was a half a cow stuck to each Rib. So how big were the ribs, I'll quote my co-workers in the break room. The intern: Is that a turkey leg? The pregnant Consultant/PM: Is that a brontosaurus burger? The Co-worker: Where is it?(She came back from that place shortly after) Had to switch hands because my arm got sore holding it. Fantastic food, loved all the sides, and enough portion to make 2 meals out of it! Sleepy.... read more

They got 3 stars because I wanted to give 4 stars for service. The food I would give a 1 and a half - 2. I had the pork ribs which is my litmus test at bbq joints. I came alone after church which is nearby. The ribs were a good size and had some flavor. What threw me off were the grill marks on the ribs. I've never in my 38 years of life seen very distinct (like they were put on commercially, for lack of a better term). I don't know it is weird, like when there were fake grill marks on my corn at Applebee's. I also had black Eyed Peas, they just heated up a can added nothing. The Mac and cheese was nothing special. I'm going to eat my leftovers but won't be back. Well I may stop and try a sandwich one day. read more

I came wanting to compare this place with Papas. I wanted to do the beef ribs test. All they had was short beef ribs. So I got 1/2 pound sliced brisket and a seafood dinner. The 3 shrimp were jumbo 'shannon breaded just right along side a huge piece of cod.Red Beans and Rice along with the cabbage was great. I had the lean side of the brisket and it had a great smoke ring. It's pretty darn good. I wasn't a fan of the homeade sauce but you might like it. I think that I will be back here. read more

I always talk about Hungry Farmers and how good their potatoes are and I feel like it's pretty fucked up how they handled this situation... I got this molded potato from them and all the "manager" could do was argue with me about what it was/looked like and offer me another potato..I didn't want a refund I didn't want more food, just to bring awareness. to be met with such defensiveness and no sympathy or regard is unacceptable as customer service read more
