    Finally got to try this place out! It's been on my list for months but you have to plan ahead and get there early. They do a Saturday and Sunday service most weekends but check their social media for updated days. We ordered a variety of food. My favorite was definitely the brisket pho. The broth is sooooo yummy and you don't need to add anything to it like you would with normal pho. Other top item was definitely the bok choy and the curry. We also tried the Saigon spares which were very well seasoned and tasty but hard to eat. I prefer my ribs a little juicier. The lemongrass beef sausage was decent. The brisket was super moist and flavorful. Overall was generally impressed with everything. It's a cool place set up in a backyard with a tent and a bunch of tables. But it was good vibes and they are good about checking on everyone even though you order at a register.

    Got here a little later in the morning so they were out of a few things that I had wanted to try, but we were able to try most of what we wanted. The pho was good, but the broth is a bit on the sweeter side which I'm personally not a huge fan of--I tend to prefer mine more on the savory end. The curry was my favorite--it had nice spice and was super flavorful, and the meat was perfectly smokey and tender. The beef rib was also good, but a little bit tough to get off the bone. Overall, pretty solid meal.

    What an awesome bbq joint! We enjoyed the flavorful smoky barbecue here. The air is filled with smokey bbq goodness. The brisket was my highlight. I over ordered previously and got my Oder just right this time but regrettably I didn't get to bring any of the brisket back home for lunch. Over ordering at this bbq joint is a requirement :) The friendly staff are awesome and orders are taken very quickly.

    I'd been hearing the hype about this place for awhile so you know we had to check out their pop-up when we went to Houston. We ordered online in advance and I made my hungover self go to pick them up on Sunday morning. There was a pretty long line for pickup that moved quickly but then you still had to wait for your food for another 20 minutes or so. Overall, it was probably close to an hour of waiting which isn't out of the norm for good tx bbq but was a little surprising given it was ordered in advance. We were hanging with a few friends and wanted to try everything so we got: lb of brisket, lb of spare ribs, 1/2 lb of pork ribs, sausage, magenta sticky rice, vietnamese slaw, broken rice hash, and beef rib curry. The beef rib curry was far and away the star of the show. It was so good and there definitely weren't any leftovers like there was with everything else. The brisket and ribs were both 4/5 stars for me but I could see them getting to 5 starts if they start cooking every day like most bbq spots. The sides were decent but not a requirement imo. Overall, I was mostly happy with the visit and would put them in top 25 texas bbqs but probably not in my top 5.

    Would recommend showing up early so they don't run out of anything you might want. Showed up to the backyard pop up at 9:30am and was first in line, the owner even let me borrow one of his camping chairs (would recommend bringing a chair of your own if you plan to come early as well +/- sun umbrella). While observing the crew setup production my appetite just kept growing as I smelled the delicious BBQ to come. Food - 5/5 Brisket amazing, fatty, juicy, tender, delicious. Dino beef rib, my personal favorite. Massive and literally fell off the bone when I tried to pick it up. Beef back ribs better than pork ribs in my opinion, but nonetheless they were also both delicious. Love their take on some viet-tex fusion dishes as well that I saw people ordering, but I could only eat so much, another time. Value - 4/5 But that's most BBQ in general and this place is on par with the price range of most other popular BBQ joints, just expect to shell out the big bucks. Follow them on IG for updates and news on their next pop up! They open up shop about 1-2 weekends per month.

    I heard about Khói barbecue after seeing a review on Instagram, which piqued my interest. The mixture of Texas barbecue and Vietnamese influences really did speak to me, being Vietnamese myself. I first tried Khói at one of their pop ups, and enjoyed the flavors. The smokiness of the txbbq far outweighs the Viet flavors, which is probably the biggest misconception. Essentially, you're getting BBQ with Viet sides. My most recent experiences with Khói has been at their HQ on Hardy. They used to have Sunday Service, which has now expanded to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Services once a month. The setup is minimal. A few communal picnic tables are setup. You can bring your own camping chairs. They have a canopy at the front for ordering or presale pickup. The line gets long well before they open the gates, so plan accordingly. Overall, just a good vibe. Good BBQ with unique sides and flavors. If you visit on a Sunday, get the whole hog banh xeo.

    I was excited to try this one, went out of my way to pre-order and picked-up. I was expecting something of a fusion Vietnamese take on Texas bbq - I found the BBQ to be very Texas standard and forced into Vietnamese dishes. The price is the major downside, as you can get much better viet food and bbq for what you're paying here. Banh Xeo was not flaky at all, BBQ was quite tasty but again standard Texas fare at double the price. I found the dessert tart my favorite of the order. Food alone was not bad at all - just not worth the troubles and price Would I Go Out of My Way to Try? No Would I Return? No Food Taste- 7/10 Value- 5/10

    Per-order definitely worth it... 2 different lines walk-ups and pre-order... Service was friendly. You can eat ther or get it to go. I opted to go so I could stay dry and get messy. Tasty Q with a casual backyard BBQ feel. Ordered the following... Whole hog garlic rice - garlicky rice with succulent whole hog meat... so yummy Beef Rib Curry - the curry had a nice kick, good flavor wish there was more sauce and more meat 1/2 pound of brisket - Smokey, moist and tender 1/2 pound Saigon Squares of beef back rib - really good flavor but not much meat on the bone. Bo La Lot - different but in a good way, now I wish I had ordered more links. Broken Rice Hash - flavorful comfort in a bowl - does this come in a bigger size? Street parking... pay attention to the signs I will be back there are still other things to try.

    Do the pre-order, that'll save you some time waiting in line. You'll still need to wait though while they're putting your order together. Location is literally in a backyard of a Houston neighborhood. Was fortunate to find parking on the street. Friendly staff, and they provide bottle water for folks waiting Food was great! The brisket pho, the banh Xeo, and the standard bbq items were quite good! Can't wait to see when they open up their brick and mortar location

    Backyard Barbecue literally! This small Asian owned family business brings Texas Viet fusion to barbecue! Everyone was SUPER nice especially once the crowd died down. The food was just as good as any bbq spot but what set it apart was the sides and rice dishes that accompanied the classic melt-in-your mouth bbq. I LOVED the Bo La Lot sausage if you're a fan of the traditional Vietnamese meat. The Brisket Pho was your standard pho (just as good as the ones you get in Chinatown) but the slab of brisket on rib was so succulent. The Broken rice hash is amazing especially if you're a fan of Com Tam - it just compliments the gravy so nicely when you parent with an order of Dino rib or brisket. The Short Rib Curry was definitely the winner in terms of dishes but I wish it came with more meat. Finish your meal with the Ca Phe Sua Da Tart if you love coffee. It's rich creamy and has the perfect balance of sweetness. I will have to come again for sure! With that being said - all of their dishes doesn't come with a lot of meat so I would get meat by the pound and order the dish you want so that you can add more meat to it especially if you're sharing. Notes on when to arrive: I showed up 40 minutes before opening and waited in my car because no line had formed and the gates were still closed as they were setting up. Turns out 8 other people were also in our car and people who didn't have the luxury of parking in front of the house had to walk back and forth to see if a line had formed yet. At around 15 minutes before everyone simultaneously lined up and there were about 10+ people right away. By opening time there was definitely 30 people in line and it took about an hour until that line died down.

    Found this spot on instagram & decided to drop in! I came for the bok choy and got everything but the bok choy!!! ‍ I ordered it but never received it! I'm not complaining though because everything else was delicious!!!! The beef rib was so tender & seasoned through & through! The pork ribs were delicious as well, they had a slightly crispy crust which I loved! The whole hog rice was good as well, very flavorful & garlicky! And the sausage....wow the lemongrass really gives it a great flavor!! The service was great! Everyone was so friendly and polite! I was able to sample some of their sauces. And I would've stayed to eat as they do have some outdoor seating but I had somewhere else to be! I'll definitely be back because I have to have my bok choy!!!

    I'm so glad to finally try it!!! I've been waiting for years but always missed it whenever they popped up. Yesterday was finally the day! Located in this home lot. Outdoor bbq pits and seating. Felt the Houston sun shining down on me. I had to try everything! This is Viet-Tex! Texas style bbq with hints of Vietnamese in it. The ba bot lot sausages has the flavors I remember eating with my parents. The pho brisket was insane! The broth just soaks into the beef and melts away in your mouth. The smoked pork ribs were delicious. The red curry over beef ribs was beautiful. They even had a Vietnamese coffee tart. And I loved it even though I'm not even a coffee person. Pitmaster Don is really putting on for the Vietnamese community. So happy I finally got to try this masterpiece Recommendation: Order everything! Get a spread of food

After the three-taco dinner, I honestly struggled to reconcile what was on my tray with its Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. The biggest problem was the one thing a barbecue restaurant needs to get right: the meat. It arrived cold and lacked flavor. The tacos fell apart as I ate them, and nothing about the taste made up for that. I've had considerably better tacos from food trucks. At a place with this reputation, I expected much more. The sides didn't rescue the meal. The cornbread was dry, the mac and cheese was mediocre, and the atmosphere felt lifeless during our visit. The meat should have been the star of the show; instead, it was the biggest letdown. The staff, however, were wonderful--warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. They deserve credit, and the service was easily the best part of the experience. This wasn't an inedible meal. It was an underwhelming one from a restaurant I used to enthusiastically recommend. Two stars reflects this visit, and I hope the kitchen gets back to the standard that made me love this place.

Servers inside were constantly cleaning tables and available to get to go boxes and lids if needed. The meat was literally fall off the bone tender and juicy. Everything was Smokey and flavored wonderfully. My number one: the Mac and cheese! I dont know something about an amazing side took me away. Most places can't do a mac the way i like it, but the cheese stayed moist and creamy and the noodles were tender. the flavor was phenomenal. all of the meats were tender and fall off the bone and juicy. I have no complaints About any bite I took! Other than maybe taking too many bites XD. Would absolutely recommend if your visiting the area or live near by, go get some excellent barbecue.

The food here was the real deal and they should be proud of having earned a Michelin Star, as well as being one of the top American-style BBQ restaurants in the world (only 4 hold a Michelin Star). The people that work here are also friendly and helpful, honestly such a chill vibe, which helps you get into the right mood for some bbq. What surprised me was that I ordered the Stuffed Potato Salad on a whim and it was out of this world! Warm potato salad (taste way better than it sounds) covered in chopped briskets, queso, ranch salsa, and green onions was so comforting and so delicious, I was crying! I also ordered a 1/2 of brisket and even though I had to take it home to finish work, it remained so tender and moist even after the drive home. The crust/bark was also so flavorful without being too much and I'm glad it wasn't just a hard layer of black pepper that was hard to crunch through. I'm also not really a coleslaw type of person, but their sweet & spicy coleslaw was the best I've ever had. I wolfed that down and would definitely get it again! We all need more fiber in our diet anyway and thankfully this is a painless way to do it (unless you can't handle the touch of spice I suppose). I'd really like to come back on a Saturday morning sometime with another sucker to accompany me, because an hour drive plus an hour or two wait on line is quite a big commitment. But the beef ribs are definitely on my radar and I probably will want to try their turkey, cobbler, and mac & cheese sometime. I'm also happy to say that even though I came late on a Thursday near closing and a lot of things were sold out, they still had brisket and that's my favorite cut of meat. I'll definitely have to swing by next time I have errands around here.

You can ask to see the piece of rib before they cut it for you and they will happily oblige (patrons behind you might not be so thrilled with that move, but they'll live). Sides were excellent as were the mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side, green beans that were just tender enough, but also a bit crunchy. Perfect. They were seasoned with pork, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it. We also ordered their shareable onion rings, easily enough for three people that were huge, hot, and crispy. Let's get this out of the way, some of their prices are a little up there, but if you're anything like me, and don't frequent BBQ places often, it's a rare but enjoyable treat. Sometimes you have to splurge and live a little. Also, they have their regular sauce on tables, but you now have to ask the cashier for their sublime coffee BBQ sauce. Don't be shy, ask. It's worth it. Oh, pro tip: If you want beef ribs, the 'plate' is actually cheaper and a better deal than 'by the pound', so save a little money and get two sides.

I arrived around 5:35 PM, about 25 minutes before closing, and ordered 1/2 lb of brisket and 1/2 lb of ribs. The brisket was $17, and unfortunately it was extremely greasy and so overcooked that the meat had become mushy. It still had good flavor, but the texture was nothing like the brisket I've normally gotten here. Judging by what I received, it felt like I may have gotten what was left at the end of the day. The ribs were $12, and my "1/2 lb" consisted of two individual ribs. They tasted good, but they weren't nearly as tender as I've had here before. I paid about $29 just for the meat, and for that price I expected much better quality and portioning. I understand that I came close to closing time, but I still paid full price and should receive the same quality of food as any other customer. If the brisket is past its best or there isn't enough left to make a proper order, I'd rather be told that so I can order something else. I'm not writing the place off because they've been good to me many times before. But this particular order was definitely not up to their usual standard, and the pictures speak for themselves.

Visiting from out of town and decided to give this place a try. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. I was not sure what I wanted to try, so Sam, the owner, gave me a sampling of everything; brisket sandwich, spare rib, potato, salad, coleslaw, beans, macaroni and cheese, jambalaya rice, and french fries. Everything tasted better than expected, especially the french fries, as few BBQ restaurants are able to get these just right. I will definitely return tomorrow to try something new. Definitely ordering the macaroni and cheese and potato salad again. Special thanks to Sam, the owner, who definitely took care of me. He knew I was from out of town, but treated me like a long time customer, which I greatly appreciate. Give this place a try... You will not be disappointed!

    I ordered through UberEats. I got the 2 meat dinner comes with two sides. Brisket, smoked chicken,…read moremustard greens and jambalaya rice, served with white bread. The chicken was so tender and sweet but savory. The brisket was good but better with the barbecue sauce. The greens just tasted like onions. I added salt that helped a little. Also wanna note I don't eat just mustard greens alone , they' re usually mixed so that may be the reason why I personally didn't care for them. The jambalaya rice was spicy but seasoned, definitely loved that. I'd have them again just switch out some things. The establishment packed my bag with everything I needed. Very neat and intentional and I appreciate that when dining out through delivery.

    Authentic Texas Barbecue. Very good food, and awesomely messy. Got the pulled pork, brisket,…read moresausage, and other meats. All were well seasoned and the sauce was incredible. Sides were ok, rice was incredibly well seasoned but the Mac and cheese was a bit underwhelming. I think the only thing would be the cost; quite pricey for barbecue. Additionally the service was pretty good - friendly staff who were more than willing to help. Very busy in the restaurant - definitely seemed like a staple in the community. Every table had paper towels, and while some of the tables were a little dirty, we were able to find a clean table to eat at.

    I had been craving BBQ for a couple weeks and decided to give the pit room a try. My husband had…read morebeen here before for work and he enjoyed it so I decided to try! The environment is super cool, plenty of seating, a bar, private rooms, a dessert bar. I enjoyed the atmosphere, but the workers spoke Spanish to each other the whole time until it was time to check out, so there wasn't much engagement. Which lead to a mix up of my order that we had to fix. What we are all here for, the FOOD: Chicken: Very juicy, tender, basic chicken, a great portion. I was grossed out by the amount of blood under the skin. (I KNOW it's an animal with blood but I've never had bbq with that amount of blood on the meat) but I'm not penalizing them for it. Def 7/10! Brisket: Super tender, melted in the mouth, great taste. 8/10 Green beans: Not greasy, tender (not mushy or undercooked). I think they may have spilled the seasoning into the batch they main because holy moly, a TON of pepper and salt. I'm heavy handed with my seasonings but that amount didn't seem intentional. I'd never thought I'd say this but the flavor would've been great with less seasoning. 5/10 Mac&cheese: Nothing special but definitely better than most bbq spots. I enjoy the texture and light flavor 7/10 Elote: Yummy but where's the beloved cilantro?! 8/10 Cornbread: Great flavor, not dry, and had jalapeno peppers in it! Super yummy 9/10. My only thing too, they had only 2 bbq sauce options, a bourbon coffee and their house bbq. To me, they were not good at all. I was extremely disappointed in that. Other bbq spots have like 8 different bbq sauces
