    One hour wait. Flys buzzing me. Hot sticky table. Could smell the trash bin behind fence. Crawfish were ok

    AJ B.

    We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and it was not very busy. We sat outside but switched tables because of a string chemical smell coming from the left side of the building. I ordered a shrimp poboy with a cup of gumbo and a sweet tea. The sweet tea was very good. The food however was very mid and bland to be considered Cajun. The fries were overly salty, the gumbo needed lots of hot sauce which it turn also made it salty and the shrimp didn't taste like anything. My friend got crawfish and ate probably one bite. The service was very slow, and our waitress while nice was very forgetful and did not check in often. They didn't even have napkins. The wait for the food was unusually long especially considering what we got. Prices were fair. Parking is limited so you will likely have to park in a parking lot near the other side of the street. We visited based on the Yelp reviews. Considering this is a small town this may actually be a considered a good Cajun place to the surrounding area, but I would not recommend or return

    Hands down the best crawfish spot; my husband and I absolutely love this spot and it our go to! We've been to a few different crawfish spots in Montgomery/Conroe and this one is at the top of our list - seasoned well and super fresh!

    First time visiting this establishment, hubby predetermined crawfish and added a potato and sausage he said everything with his was great. I ordered the Black and Gold Poboy. It was just ok. The sandwich would of been so much better if the bread was toasted. It was impossible to pick up. The first one came out without the shrimp so I had to send it back. I will have to come back and try something else. I wasn't a big fan of my poboy.

    This is a little slice of New Orleans. Went for the crawfish, and it was worth the 30 minute drive. Bugs were good size and spiced just right. Our server was attentive and checked on us several times. We sat on patio on a nice afternoon and enjoyed the atmosphere. Nice place I would recommend this place highly.

    Fantastic wait staff, Crawfish was great. Kira was very fun, definitely deserves a raise.. or two

    The shrimp were so amazing so easy to peel and the crawfish. Definitely an eight out of 10 definitely going back.

    Stopped by for our first time with many recommendations and we were not disappointed. The service was totally amazing. Crawfish came out very quick. They were easy to peel. The seasoning was spot on a little dirty and eight out of 10 on the crawfish, but it was amazing. I would recommend anybody trying out this place. We were very satisfied and will go back to try other things when crawfish season is over.

    Can we say AH-MAZEBALLS?!? So so fresh, tasty and perfect spice! The service was quick, very nice staff. There is more seating outside than in, have beer and wine. This will be a favorite spot for sure!

    2 orders of 3lbs with a side of fries

    Happened to find out about this place from FB. Love the name - that alone made me want to try it. lol We went on Valentine's and they sold out of crawfish around 6:30ish. We were one of the last few to be able to order. As mentioned in a previous post, the staff was attentive and friendly. They answered any question that we had with a smile. We sat outside and it was a cold night. The indoor seating has a bar and two tables, which were all occupied. Not a big deal, there were plenty of tables outside. There is a vinyl covering the deck and heaters to protect you from the wind; best of both worlds. The crawfish was tasty and the pineapple was a savory treat. Definitely going back!

    This place! Our Place! Been all over the Gulf ( Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi).....Krawfish Kai don't miss one single thing. Love this place!

    Amazing food...and I'm not just saying that because I know the owner...great location for this area...when you first walk up you'll see all of the available outside seating...that's where you will go if you have a small group...the inside area is small...with just the bar area and a couple of tables...but it's nice...with 4 big screen TV's mounted to watch...now let's talk about the food...delicious...I started off with the alligator bites...very good flavor...and fried just right...then I finished with the seafood platter...that delivered a soft shell crawfish...it was my first time eating one of those...and it was quite tasty...now I'm not a big time drinker...but the frozen daiquiris were amazing...the good stuff...not wine base...I also overheard a couple of customers raving about the gumbo and crawfish...so when you come here...you have to have it...this was the Grand opening...so more great things will be added to the menu...so if you're out in the Montgomery area...you must come out and check this spot out...I guarantee you and your family and friends will love it

    See all

    The food was really good. Po Boy I had was great and the fries had a nice Cajun accent. I'll likely be going back.

    Good food across the board - bar-b-que shrimp and the fries were especially good. Good service, but seemed a little under staffed.

    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.
