Loose cut brisket

I do NOT get the great reviews. Brisket was a bit smoky but definitely could use more smoke flavor. It was dry and over cooked. Ribs were moist and spoiled. The skin was damn near slick with skin having a wet like texture. They had no smoke flavor and definitely weren't fresh. They tasted like they were boiled or baked and then put on the pit for a brief moment and left out to spoil. I was disappointed by that bc I saw what I thought was a smoking pit and fresh wood being added. I don't understand why you would serve old food?? Unfortunately, I can't go back to try a sandwich bc it's meat with two pieces of bread on top. It's really hard to find consistently fresh, smoky, and tender bbq. I'm a brisket head and bbq is too expensive for this hit or miss ish. Ugh! Back to hibernation I go. We took back the ribs and the cashier (older fair skinned woman with accent) responded with "It happens a lot" when we said no worries, it happens. The new ribs were fresh but damn salty af!! Lol We're wiping them off so we can eat these.

This is the loaded baked potato with ribs.

This is the loaded baked potato with ribs. This was the most delicious bbq I have ever had. Super delicious and worth the wait. The potato is cooked so deliciously that it tastes like mashed potatoes. Price was $20. They do not accept credit card. Only cash, Zelle, venmo, cashapp, or Apple pay. If you are ever in Houston it's definitely worth checking out.

We frequently see this BBQ stand on our way to Aldi on OST. We finally had a chance to stop and try it out. We ordered two of the chopped brisket sandwiches($9.50/ea).The sandwiches are hearty, and very delicious. If you're looking for something fancy, go somewhere else. This is straight up bbq, and thats what we like. Can't wait to try the ribs. It is cash only, and we only had a $20. Definitely will be going back. Very friendly service. BBQ smells so good!

The Works (every type of meat) plate. Every single meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Nothing was tough.

Ribs, sausage, potato salad, boudin, baked beans, and the fixins

Best BBQ HANDS DOWN! Aside from Grandpas backyard this taste is unbelievable Sausage is OBVIOUSLY homemade and literally melts in your mouth BBQ sauce has PERFECT balance of sweet, smoky, and spicy Potato salad is homemade and baked beans are so good. The flavors from all the meats and ingredients of the sides all blend together into a symphony in your mouth and dance in your tongue Ok - then I tried the Boudin - AMAZING!! I have never had smoked to perfection spicy boudin that made me think about backwoods Louisiana but this does. I wouldn't say traditional because I have only seen boudin that you pick out of the casing with a fork. I ate the whole darn thing! Five minutes later it's still dancing with spicy music to my mouth. Ike's is doin it right! Don't let the location scare you. These are some of the nicest people that serve the awesome bbq with a sweet smile!

Potato salad & beans $4 each

Luckily our server was able to move us to the covered outdoor seating after a little while which was a little better. The covered patio has fans. However, bonus for sitting outside is that they're having a promo during HRW where happy hour drink specials are going on all day. The food and drinks were all yummy though. We got the yum yum fries for the table to share. I ordered the duck duck shroom pizza and the aperol spritz. The portions of everyone's food were huge so I'd say a good bang for your buck. We experienced multiple servers with our table switch and they were all nice and helpful.

Getting seated was a little chaotic. Indoor seating was pretty limited and not managed well. We end up sitting on the patio (still pretty toasty around sunset time). The giant pretzel we ordered for appetizer was excellent, highlight of the meal. The sourdough pizzas were pretty thin, overall I'd give the pizzas a 3/5. Of the 4 pizzas we tried, my personal ranking: 1. Spicy Goat 2. Duck Duck Shroom 3. Heirloom Margherita 4. Sweet & Spicy Pepperoni. Service was also disorganized and a little slow. I'd come back if I'm craving that pretzel.

She was friendly, attentive, and made a really good espresso martini. The food and service were so good that I had to return and try their brunch! Since the Astros were playing at home, Kulture also offered specials on appetizers and cocktails. Will I be back? Most definitely! The only thing missing was a live band.

My friend grabbed the Kulture Club Chicken, and I went for the Fried Catfish and Grits. Our waitress, Savannah (pretty sure that was her name), was a gem. She didn't just take our order; she guided us. She told my friend the club had goat cheese and broke down exactly why she probably wouldn't like it if she wasn't into blue cheese. Then she looked at me -- pescatarian, hungry -- and said, "Add the shrimp and get the crab sauce on top." Best decision I made all day. The plate didn't stand a chance. I would've taken an "after" photo, but I cleaned my plate. The staff were also super helpful with parking validation and making sure we were set. Inside, the vibe is casual but elevated -- stylish without trying too hard. I'm already planning my next visit.

We got a fish sandwich and a fish plate. With Mac and cheese and fried okra. The sandwich was probably the best fish sandwich in houston. The fish is so good!! Fried well and seasoned well. The Mac and cheese was very flavorful and creamy. The service was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's not a very large place so there's not many seats if they are busy. We came on a Sunday so it was pretty full with the after church crowd. But we were still severed timely. You can order yourself at the kiosk or with the server. You absolutely NEED to come here and try this food.

The A/C was broken. This is Houston. In June. Ain't no way - so i ordered my food to go, only to find out they only serve in to go containers anyway - okkkkk. I got the catfish plate with red beans, dirty rice and an extra side of greens. The fish was great. Big pieces, well seasoned, fried perfectly - 9/10. the dirty rice was don well too - 7/10. The red beans were ok, nothing special, but not bad either - 6/10. The GREEENS tho.... 1/10. NOPE - never again. Glory canned greens with a whisper of a thought of seasoning and half a gallon of pepper sauce. While waiting for my food, a lady already seated and eating starting having an episode from being overheated. It just wasn't a great experience and the food wasn't worth another try for me.

Downstairs has warmer lights and a kinda delicate feel. Anyhow, Let me just cut straight to it. Honestly I expected more from the food, they were just meh. The chicken wings could do with some flavor and its presentation needs fixing, maybe cut them. The wings were also dry and we had to ask for ketchup so maybe add some of the syrup to it or offer gravy. We enjoyed the oxtail omelet even though a few of my party thought it needed a little salt to boost it. The fried green tomatoes could have a dipping sauce but the famous chilli biscuits were well received. The country Benedict is a fried boil egg. Just incase you wanted a poached egg for your Benedict and the salad was over powering. The drinks were great and refreshing. The mocktails they have were nice too.

There's also parking in the back of the restaurant, or you can street park. A great place to stop to eat if you're in the Museum district, but make sure to make reservations, since there's a bit of a wait otherwise. We tried the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, hot chilli biscuits, oxtail omelette, jalapeño poppers, fried green tomato, croissant French toast, Mac n cheese and chicken fried steak. Of them all, I really liked the hot chilli biscuits, oxtail omelette, french toast and fried green tomatoes. The hot chilli biscuits were sized more like mini pancakes. The croissant French toast was delicious and sweet enough to eat without syrup, which is how I had it. I would get the oxtail omelette or the croissant French toast myself, if I come back. For drinks we tried the Moscow mule and peach mimosas. The peach mimosa was a little medicinal tasting, so I'd recommend the original mimosa.

But, I do have some things I want to say. First, there is absolutely no signage or anything that explains what the items are, or even the basic whether you seat your self or not. It's kinda cafeteria style, you pick up a tray and silverware and then give them your choices. I did get it explained to me after standing at the counter looking like an idiot for a few minutes. I kind of fell in behind a couple of guys that came in right after me, I let them go because I had no idea. Second, there is nothing to tell you how much things cost. Protein Choices were smothered pork chops, meatloaf, chicken, turkey wings, fish and... wait for it.. oxtails. Now I know some of you are thinking HARD PASS on oxtails, but believe me, these are a rarity to find on a menu, I would say because of the cost, but also because they aren't quick to prepare. If you are offering oxtails on your menu, you have to have plenty on hand and be confident in your dish. Micheaux's hits the mark. Third, and this is very important, the food PLENTIFUL, and I do mean truly two people could probably eat what I got served. personally, I LOVE oxtails, but because nobody else in my house would even consider eating these, (they are not with me) and because they are super expensive in the store, I rarely make it for just myself. So of course I ordered the oxtails., it's served with rice, and two additional sides and cornbread. I ordered greens and green beans. It was pricey , like 37.00 before the tip, and as I was paying I was cursing myself for spending so much for lunch but..It's so delicious! I do think that the prices should be posted somewhere because ( and this is why it's getting 4 of 5 stars) I never would have ordered this knowing I would not be able to take it with me to reheat for later. I wish this wasn't an impulse stop while I was driving somewhere else . I don't know how the guys that were ahead of me put it all away in record time. They left before I started the review. I stopped eating to do the review because I want to eat more before I leave this area of town. I don't think this will travel well, especially if I can't reheat it. OMG, the man next to me just ate all of his food and just ordered a piece of chocolate cake that is making my mouth water. How am I supposed to finish what is in front of me and think about the cake too? I also want to mention that I erroneously picked up a salt shaker before I started to eat... Not needed, nothing needed salt at all, everything was perfectly seasoned. Well, I am calling it, I will take the rest with me and figure something out. Maybe one day I will be in the area again.
