Bar-A-BBQ earns its spot on the "Top 50 Texas Monthly BBQ" list. The moment we walked in, the staff…read morewas incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, happy to discuss barbecue craft and recommendations. Their expertise and passion were evident, which made the experience even better. The brisket was excellent--very moist with a great bark, good flavor, and a satisfying pull. But if you only get one thing, make it the brisket burnt ends. They were absolutely awesome and I highly recommend them. The ribs were a bit too hammy for my personal taste, but that's a preference issue, as I prefer baby back ribs over the spare ribs they served. I tried two of their house-made sausages. The standard house sausage was pretty good, but the jalapeño and cheddar version was even better, adding a great kick of cheese and spice to their basic recipe. The sides were just as impressive as the meat. The dirty rice had some spice and was elevated with delicious shredded brisket mixed in. The cheesy tater casserole was fantastic--very cheesy with a nice peppery flavor and a great texture from the potatoes. For dessert, the cornbread bread pudding was an excellent choice. It was a gooey, decadent dessert with a perfect balance of cornbread and chocolate chips. We also grabbed a tallow chocolate chip cookie to go, saving it to savor later. Overall, this place is the real deal. From the knowledgeable staff to the top-tier brisket and sides, it's clear why they're so highly acclaimed. Very affordable as well!

We chose BAR A barbecue after carefully looking for what we hoped would be the BEST in the Houston…read morearea. We saw some great options ( Truth, Triple J, Killen's, and Brisket & Rice were all in the running, and we didn't try any of those so can't say on them). This was a thought out choice and I was super excited to try them! Being a family run operation was really awesome to me as well. First the good to great: the staff was super nice and helpful. The brisket was ah-mazing. Not too Smokey but cooked very tender and delicious! The barbecue sauce was on point. Sauces tend to range from too thin to too thick, too sweet to too spicy but Bar A's hit the bulls eye! Not too thin, not too sweet...I really enjoyed the brisket! Walking up, the smells were incredible! A nice outdoor spot to eat (it was a very mild day and just beautiful out..but I digress). Also, the Mac and Cheese...oh my!! Some of the best I've ever had! The downside: We drove an hour and a half especially to eat here...it was our primary reason for heading up to Montgomery! Getting there around 3pm, you would figure is a sweet spot for a restaurant open from like 11-6 on a Friday. When we went to order as we're trying to figure out the plate we want, you know, 2 meats or 3 meats ...sides, yum, as you're drooling, we were going for the TRINITY Plate. Brisket, rib and sausage...a nice cross section. Nope, we can't do a TRINITY. we only have brisket and turkey left. I know a lot of people love turkey. I'm not one of them and my heart was set on Beef. So now we're on a 1 meat and two sides track I guess. Ok, can we do brisket on the one meat? "Sure I can do that" was the cheery reply. So we got two plates brisket, and I asked could you make that moist cut brisket (my favorite, while my wife always prefers the lean). "Nope, sorry, we're all out of moist brisket". Ok, so one plate with cheesy potato casserole (doesn't that just sound amazing?) and Mac & cheese and one plate With cheesy potato casserole and pinto beans, that way we can get more great tastes and share, right? Oh, and bread, pickles, onions and jalapeños. (The bread is Martins and is always amazing if you know what I'm talking about...I think it's potato roll bread?). Got our plates and start to pay...two $20 plates and no drinks, just water. Over $50! Hmmm, well, the one meat tray with brisket has a $4 up charge. Hmmm. Sat down and got to chowing down! Here's where disappointment sets in. As I said, brisket and sauce was on point. The onions are maybe slightly pickled, not sure, but also very good. The meat, was 3 slices of brisket...4 would have been a sweet spot but eh, 3. The sides. Cheesy potato casserole had the texture of rice...I kept thinking it was rice as I ate it. It had some spice to it but very little flavor. Very disappointing. Mac & cheese--ah-mazing! Pinto beans were like a salt-a-holics take on ranch style beans. Not good. Almost not edible. But I was hungry. I put some sauce on the potato casserole and made it taste ok...still couldn't get Over the rice texture (I'm not saying it had rice, but just had the texture of a rice pilaf ). Two pieces of great bread rounded it out! So overall, disappointed that there wasn't more to choose (ribs, moist brisket, sausage) and I get it, They make so much and sell out then that's good business for them. To the customer who drove and hour and a half to eat there, not so good business. The sides were 1 for 3 in the good to great category and worst of all, after spending $50+ on lunch for 2, I was still hungry. I wouldn't have expected that for sure. I couldn't decide between 3 or 4 star but my missing stars shake out like this: 1 went because of availability and then ultimately being up charged for what was left. And 1 went for disappointing 2 out of 3 sides and portion size/value. Sorry, we didn't take any photos of the food.

If they have the smoked turkey, get it. Hands down some of the best smoked turkey you'll ever eat. We've been a few times when they were plum out (which was highly disappointing and we almost walked away), but even without it, the brisket, fall of the bone ribs, and jalapeño cheese sausage and everything else on the menu does not disappoint. Prices are reasonable, portions are good, and the sides are all crowd-pleasers. It's a food truck with outdoor seating, so on rainy days you'll want to plan on taking it to go. There are a covered picnic areas, but either way, the food is absolutely worth it. Golly, today- free Lonestar on standby while waited :) iykyk - thank you kindly & and see you next week

Frankly, my stomach is starting to question my life choices. But then we rolled up to Jennings BBQ…read morein Montgomery, a food truck that's a Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ award winner, and my tummy and I made peace. The brisket was excellent--nicely cooked, very tender, and full of great flavor with a nice, clean bark. They did a fantastic job with it. The pulled pork was another highlight. It was incredibly juicy with a perfect flavor profile, and the amount of sauce and spice was just right. The ribs were also delicious--a flavorful spare rib with a perfect pull from the bone. For the sides, the cornbread casserole was a hit. It had a wonderful consistency, balancing the corn and the breading perfectly. The coleslaw was also great, with a nice, light flavor and the perfect amount of vinegar. In short, my body might be begging for a salad, but my soul is singing the praises of Jennings BBQ. It's a definite standout and well worth the trip.

I did not get my birria tacos, but I did get some delicious barbacoa tacos with some spicy sauce which is what I really wanted. I just needed some serious spice. I've eaten at this place a couple of times and I knew the food was good so I knew what I was in for. One delicious barbacoa taco in and my need for spice has been satiated. I'm continuing on more slowly this time with constant interruptions to blow my nose, and unfortunately, swat flies away. I find the flies to be most annoying. Two tacos and 4 napkins in, I am considering the more mild sauce to finish off the meal, but at the same time, ask myself why? So the last taco I ate with the mild sauce and I found it delicious. I was seeking spice and I got it but the mild sauce was more to my liking. The flies were no joke. I'm not sure what can be done about that, maybe a fan or something in their enclosure /eating area. I even killed a bee while I was eating. I wasn't deterred though I finished my entire three taco beans and rice plate. Lastly I would add that at this posting, December 2022, the road 105 is undergoing massive construction, so getting into this place is definitely tricky unless you're on this side of the road. I've eaten here before like I said so I definitely recommend. I would give a solid five stars if it weren't for the flies.

They helped me out so much during the planning process of my wedding. Helping me pick out colors, center pieces, and all of the decorations for the wedding.

On the day of the wedding they were able to get everything set up inside of the venue, so that way I could just focus on getting ready and not stress about time. We also used there catering service for the BBQ food and it tasted amazing. We had leftovers to take home with us that lasted a good few days.

I could tell she was in the middle of something as I could hear the wind whipping behind her and people in the background. I had told her that if she needed to she could call me back, however she insisted that now was a good time. That meant the world to me especially after being treated so poorly from other companies. I was able to get a quote from her immediately over the phone and within the next few days have a contract signed and paid for. When I called to give her the payment me and Bree ended up chatting for an hour! She knows her stuff! Even though I wasn't using her as a wedding coordinator I would highly recommend her. During our conversation we talked about all the little last-minute things that brides tend to forget and chatted. She is so friendly and personable! The day went off without a hitch and her staff was incredible. I am very grateful for not only her kind words and help during this time but being able to get four people on a holiday last minute for me. It's extraordinary the lengths she went to to make sure that I would be taken care of. I'm humbled by it. Thank you so much Bree and all the staff at Diamond and Pearl Services for making my special day absolutely perfect.
