2 meat combo. Ribs/brisket.
Will K.

Man these were some good ribs. Brisket was solid too but the ribs were off the charts. Nice couple cooking and serving it all up. Very small. Cozy place. And I love how you have to enter through an old bus. Did I say great ribs?

3 Meat platter

First, the food was awesome! I had the 3 meat platter with sausage, brisket, and ribs. All had a great smoke ring and the smoke flavor was spot on. I had green beans for the side which was really good also. The owner was very nice and even showed me the smoke set up in the back of restaurant. Definitely a great find I found on Yelp. Will be back! Oh yeah...I almost forgot...the sweet tea was awesome also.

Got into town around dinner time and was looking for some good bbq for dinner. Stopped here based…read moreon the reviews on here and it didn't disappoint. You order at the counter and then they give you a number and they bring your food out to you. They have serve yourself drinks and tea and bbq etc I opted for the prime rib. I would have preferred it to be cooked a little more as a personal preference. However it did have a nice flavor and seasoning on it. The green beans are whole but they have flavor unlike some places. Jalapeno spoon bread was delicious it's like corn casserole met cornbread. Hubby got the sampler platter with smoked turkey, ribs, brisket and salmon. Fun fact they will let you sample the meats before you decide on which ones you want. The salmon was hands down the best salmon he ever had he said. It completely hit different and would definitely order again The brisket was juicy and had a great bark on it with amazing flavor and seasoning Turkey wasn't dry at all and had a great smoked flavor Ribs were fall off the bone good with yet again great seasoning Baked beans- didn't care for these at all they tasted like ketchup Mac and cheese was just basic wouldn't order again Potato salad was the best side out of the ones he got. They also bring half a load of bread More than enough to share

I'll definitely itely be back. Some bbq places don't have mac and cheese so I am glad that they did…read moreand it was actually pretty good. The chopped chicken sandwich was also good. I prefer chicken so I had been wanting to try this place. All were good and I am fairly picky with bbq. I which they had a few different bbq sauces but I won't down them for that as the flavor of the one they had was good. Service was good. You walk up and order. Food was given out quickly. We didn't get to try the ribs as we were told they were out but sounded like they just didnt have the next batch ready. Wish we would have been told that cause we would have waited but not a huge deal. Owner was there, at least I think he was the owner, and he was going around to each table to make sure everything was good. That was appreciated. I always appreciate when the owners are there and personable.

To keep it simple, no this isn't the best bbq in Houston, but it might be the best valued brisket…read moresandwich. They hook it up! I enjoy their sauce and the vibe is cool. It kind of has a warehouse feel to it. I'm surprised they don't open the place up on weekend nights for a western themed bar or something. I've seen the same workers in this joint for over a decade, so I'd think it's family owned. They stay busy, so it must be popular. When I'm in town, it's one of the places I visit to get a good lunch for a fair price. Overall, no complaints! Keep up the good work Straight Off The Road BBQ!

We were regulars at Straight off the Road a few years back, but since we moved farther out, we…read morehaven't been here in a while. Today, Momma wanted barbecue, and the places closer to home don't offer indoor dining. Since we were dressed up for Mother's Day, we drove out of the way to come here. I expected a good time. Straight off the Road has always had good vibes, and nothing there has changed. Country music when you come in the door, good service, and authentic feeling decorations. It just feels like home in here-- Texas without all the pretentiousness of fancier places. I was surprised to see the parking lot and the restaurant only half full on Mother's Day, but looking back, I should have known then that something wasn't quite right. Everything went well until I got my plate. I ordered the two meat brisket and sausage, potato salad, and fried okra. The portion was huge-- enough for three people -- but I couldn't enjoy it. The brisket should have been the star, but it tasted like was baked too long in an oven an oven a day or two ago. There was no smoke flavor, and the meat just fell apart. I could have eaten it with a spoon. It was tender, sure, but anybody can do that if you cook it/rest it long enough. The flavor just wasn't there. I'm not sure whether they make their sausage or get it from somewhere outside, but it seemed to be quality stuff before they cooked it. It was coarse ground like I like it with good seasoning. But where was the smoke? The sausage honestly looked and tasted like it was sliced and boiled. I was shocked. The potato salad tasted good, but the texture was all wrong. Everything was chopped up small like it was done in the food processor and there was no love in it. Fried okra is hard to get wrong, but there was nothing particularly right about it either. I was so suspicious about the lack of flavor in my meat that I drove around the back parking lot when we left. There were several racks of neatly stacked firewood, but it was all filled up to the top. Either it had just been delivered, or it's not getting used. I suspect the latter. This is Texas. If you're gonna keep the doors open at a barbecue joint, you have to do better. I love coming to your restaurant, and I hope you get things figured out.
