Clean Family friendly BBQ place. Flavorful sliced beef, good sausage but my favorite is their loaded BBQ potato. They also have a family meal deal that is a good to go dinner. It includes Brisket, Links and ribs with beans and potato salad. read more

Service and food was so good, people running the place are very sweet. Have gotten the fried pork chops, chicken, brisket, and pulled pork sandwich and it's all sooo good read more

Hubby and I went here a few months ago, during a long and arduous quest for good barbecue in Houston. We still have not found *awesome* BBQ (suggestions welcome!), but we found a couple of pretty decent ones. I am happy to say that Midway BBQ is one of them. When I try a new BBQ place, I like to get a combination plate so that I can try a little bit of everything. But I am a Texas girl, whether I like it or not, and that means that there is *one* dish that will make or break you for me. It's all about the brisket, baby. If you fail in the brisket department, you just plain fail. So you probably already know that, since this isn't a one-star review, that means the brisket passed the test. Well.. Ribs - pretty damn good. They were definitely hubby's favorite, and they didn't go uneaten on my plate either. Sausage - well, it was sausage. I liked it, but it was nothing spectacular. But the sausage at a BBQ place is usually more of a filler meat that mainly serves to provide a little variety while I'm gorging myself on other meats. Brisket - *sigh* I have mixed feelings about the brisket. The brisket that *I* got was pretty damn good. I loved every juicy, beefy, briskety, tasty bite. My husband, however, was not so lucky. His brisket was very dried out, and dryness is the cardinal sin of brisket. You see, his serving was cut before mine, the last slices from that particular hunk of brisket. My serving, however, was from a fresh one. So, if you try these guys out .. and I *do* recommend them, you might want to try to make sure you don't get the ass end of the brisket. And get the ribs. Tasty. One more quick note: they are no longer located next door to the taxidermy part. They've actually opened a standalone restaurant that's maybe a block or so down the road. You can actually see it from the parking lot of the old place. read more

We absolutely loved it!!!! Definitely recommend! the kids loved the kids menus and we loved the bbq

This place is great! Kids menu is a huge deal. 3 big tenders with a ton of fries - 1 order fed my 4 toddlers. I had the pork which isn't pulled pork but sliced and it was so tender I ate it all. BBQ chicken and the sausage were also very tasty. Inside Décor is fun with all the animal heads my kids and foreign babysitter thought it was amazing!! read more

Midway is a refreshing alternative to the endless parade of chains that overwhelm Katy, TX. While visiting the area, it was nearly impossible to find a restaurant that isn't another prefab Landry's tentacle or the bland spawn of some other corporate overlord. Upon entering Midway, we might as well have arrived at Ted Nugent's man cave, sans the Wango Tango. Dead animals. Everywhere. They range from the usual suspects (elk, deer, bear) to the troubling (a plaque-mounted photograph of a mother and son hunting team posing manically with a dead cheetah) to the fictitious (a regulation size wooly mammoth head demands attention), fill most of the available wall space. Like most Texas BBQ places, you wait in line along the right wall and order at the counter as a perma-Fox News flat screen flickers from its wedged perch in the corner above. As for the food: the BBQ is served in old school, segmented Styrofoam platter dishes with the obligatory sliced-bread as edible napkin. The portions are medium-sized for Texas (i.e. large for the rest of the country). It is tasty. We sampled just about everything, and everything was above average. The brisket was moist and had a good texture, the ribs were tender, the sausage had good flavor. Some people have been knocking the sides on here, but I thought they were more than adequate. Next time I'll try the jerky as I've heard good things. If you don't have time to venture to the rural bastions of BBQ out in Hill Country, and you don't feel like heading to any of the other banal franchises that crowd the Katy freeway, check out Midway for some authentic Texas grub. read more

I would never get the chicken again because there was absolutely no bbq flavor besides the side cup that came with it. The brisket was FANTASTIC, I'm disappointed in the amount of coleslaw I received as a side ... it's a super small cup that you'd put ketchup in or something , the fries were the perfect portion. The fountain drinks tasted wonderful, perfect combination of carbonation & flavor. The girl that checked us out was a little (a lot) not so intelligent (bless her heart. They had live music tonight & the place was definitely hoping! Lots of older couples out on the dance floor line dancing way in the back where the band plays. Was neat to see. Will be back read more

We came in after a long day of driving and the food was the best and filled me right up.

They've been around for decades. The location is actually part of the store next door and you could easily miss this place if you weren't looking for it. It is small. However, the food is spectacular. It is easily the best barbecue place in Katy, at the very least Katy proper. I haven't been here in about 7 years, however when I used to work in the area I would stop in here at least twice a week just about every week for 2 years straight. The meat is always freshly prepared (they have a taxidermy in the back of the store!) and everything is smoked out back, never put directly over fire. Low and slow. If you haven't tried this place before, get on it. read more

I cannot thank Midway BBQ in Old Katy enough for being such a great business and coming through at the last minute. Planning for my father's funeral he had requested barbecue for the meal that he'd like everyone to share. We called around to many places and no one responded. I decided to just go in the day before the memorial service. Miss Danielle was so helpful. She can took my order, had it there the next day for the service , at a very reasonable price and made arrangements to have it delivered the next day. Everything was delicious the people were gracious and friendly they even let us pay the following day. I want to thank Midway for being so thoughtful and professional during a very difficult time in life. read more

I travel from Nevada just to have the amazing food in this place and the service is always amazing as well as the decor it is so fun to look around the walls in this place at all their mounts. They have a large variety of barbecued and smoked meats it is one of the best selections I have ever seen. read more

This is the best pecan smoked BBQ I ever had! The outside of the brisket was black with a sweet, smoky flavor and the inside was tender, flavorful. Outstanding! It's not fancy inside, very basic. Only 5 or so small tables. Most of the people came in to takeout. There is a grocery/butcher connected and has a wide range of meats and jerky. If you are a hunter, they also offer deer meat processing. BONUS: Take a glimpse in the business office! OMG. read more

I've tried several bbq joints in the area and have been disappointed. Maybe it's because I'm from the KC area where there are many options for good bbq. I've passed this establishment numerous times but never thought about trying it because I figured I'd be disappointed again. Was I ever wrong! This is by far the best bbq I've had in the two years I have lived in the area. The ribs are so moist and tender. Plus there is actually meat on the bones! There are huge chunks of ham instead of thinly sliced deli ham. The sausage is good too. They also have a variety of sides. Liked it so well that I've been twice in less than two weeks. The prices and the quantity make it a good deal for the money. read more

We love Midway and have been going here for years. Today was an extreme disappointment however, when we got home from picking up dinner to find that Midway didn't give my husband any gravy for his $15 ribeye chicken fried steak. I think that's illegal in Texas? No gravy with the chicken fried? Anyway, the hubs called Midway who offered a free dessert. Or we could go back for the gravy. We live 20 min away. No thanks to going thru traffic again. Then the manager offered a free chopped beef sandwich ("the gravy doesn't cost $8 but I'll give you that for the error"). Thanks Midway. That's really big of you. With all the money Midway makes, I'm surprised they didn't put an effort into making things right. read more

Love Midway Bar-B-Que. The menu selection is great. I have brought my family from out of town and they really enjoyed the atmosphere and the variety. I highly suggest stopping by to pick up or eating in. I have also used their catering and everyone is always friendly and helpful. read more

Midway was once a very good BBQ joint when it was still the little shop attached to the grocery store. I remember ordering a chicken sandwich and getting a full size chicken breast stacked on the sandwich. Since Midway has moved to the new location the quality and quantity has greatly depreciated. I no longer eat at Midway BBQ. read more

The interior of the restaurant is very well decorated. However the food and the service were mid at most. The girl working in the front counter, taking our order, was not very friendly and acted like she didn't wanna be there. The food was okay. The brisket was a tad bit dry as well as the mash potatoes. We ordered the meal deal and it was underwhelming. The sausage lacked any depth of flavor. The ribs were okay as well, nothing special about them. Very one dimensional flavors here, almost bland. We also order the catfish plate and it was probably the best thing there. Though there was undercooked batter in some pieces of the fish. I throughly enjoyed the hush puppies and the cream corn. All in all, it wasn't bad food but its not my place for bbq. In my opinion, there are much better places for barbecue. Wouldn't come here again. read more

It's an average BBQ joint--nothing too special. The brisket was OK, the sausage was OK, the beans were OK, and the cole slaw tasted mass-produced, like it was bought at a super store. A couple of the employees, especially the older cashier, seemed like they didn't want to be there. (we visited on July 8th) read more

we are pretty picky about our bbq. never tried this place before but i am glad we decided to stop in. Yummy!! on the way home after we ate we were making jokes about turning around and going back for more. read more

First time at this location was a few weeks ago. Definitely some of the better BBQ I have had since I moved to TX. Menu was reasonably priced. Their platter option was certainly worth it's price. $13 two meat options with choice of two sides and a drink. Only issue I had with the food was that it was served at a lukewarm temperature. I'm not looking for a piping hot piece of brisket or anything. But I would like my food to have some steam coming off it. Definitely good brisket though. Very noticeable smoke rings in the meat. Hope you enjoy. read more

Was told this place was awesome... I ordered a chopped beef baked potato fully loaded. They were dead during dinner time and all I can say about their food... "MEH.." read more

I've been several times here lately. The brisket is on point and their sausage is very good. The baked beans have too much sugar to me but are okay. The Mac n cheese is good too. read more

You know it's an awesome place when you leave smelling like the smoke from the smoker. Brisket: moist, good smoke ring & no sauce needed. Pork ribs: same as brisket. Pulled Pork: None available(sold out)- usually a good sign. Pork sausage: juicy, good smoke flavor & not too spicey. Side dishes were good & they offer homemade Chicharrones. read more

Great brisket and ribs and fun to see the deer and other animals mounted on the wall.

I went in with around 12-15 people for lunch one day and it was very good. Great meat selection, sides were generally good, some better than others. The prices were ok, and service was as fast as you would expect. I'm a BBQ fanatic and the meat was good, not the best I've ever tried, but certainly the best I've had in Texas. read more

We have lived in Old Katy two and a half years and finally tried Midway BBQ using Uber Eats. We got the family pack type meal with a little bit of everything along with an order of chicken tenders with fries for my younger son. The brisket is to die for sooo moist and the sausage to me had the perfect flavor - not bland but not spicy. Everyone in my family liked the bbq beans and mashed potatoes too. Everything was delivered with a generous amount of all the sides you like to get too - pickles, onions, jalepenos, bread slices and extra sauce, ketchup for the fries, and cutlery. Not sure why we waited so long to try them out but will definitely eat Midway BBQ again. For my family, this was a hit. read more

Consistently great food and always generous portions. Always order when I have large groups to feed.

We had an exceptional experience at Midway BBQ. Everyone was super friendly! Everyone! We had BBQ beef baked potatoes... a dish 2 could easily split. I sampled from several of our friends orders as well. Everything was perfect. Amazing food, staff that treated us like old friends, nice environment... couldn't have been happier. I've been running the aisles of the Midway Market since I was little, and its always been a welcoming place. I have one fond memory in particular, my best bud and I were aimlessly roaming the market while his mom shopped. We turned corners without a care where we were going. Suddenly we found ourselves in Herman Meyer's office covered floor to ceiling with amazing taxidermy (much of which is probably at Midway BBQ now). As we were awestruck by the decor a man behind a nice big desk said "can I help you?" We failed to notice anyone was in the room. He was kind and let us take it all in. I've been a big fan ever since. read more

The food was ok, nothing special but fine. The meat was good, the buns were white and cheap. The approximately 100 dead/stuffed animals on walls isn't my idea of atmosphere but to each their own. The awesome pictures of animals that had just been shot with bloody heads also not appetizing and promoted really fun dinner conversation. Could it be anything other than FOX news on the TV? I think not. First and last time we will eat here. read more

Midway Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Katy, Texas

Very pedestrian BBQ. The sausage seemed very bland. The brisket was fine but lacked any bark and flavor. I could tell this place has been around awhile and had a neat vibe. They just need to up their game as new bbq places are all coming into Katy. read more

Good BBQ joint. Good portions at a good price. Wild kingdom scenery is unique.

seeing recent view of this spot reminded me that i ate there!!! my friend took me over to the meat market next door to get my hog processed and said we should try the bbq.. I remember the ribs and chicken having a good smoke taste and decent sauce and good bbq beans- was in all very damn good!!!! i need to go back and re-up !!!! read more

Every time I come here they never fail on having delicious BBQ. I recommend the baked potato with chopped beef, Mmmm! I also recently had ribs that were equally great :) read more

I ordered a brisket sandwich and added sausage to it. I even kicked it up a notch by adding extra BBQ sauce, onions, pickles and jalapeños! Awesome! Brisket had just the right amount of fat to meat ratio with a crisp smoke flavor. Sausage was good with a small spice to it and moist instead of dried out. The potato salad was great and creamy! Next time I'm trying the cole slaw. Peach cobbler was amazing! I love the doughy goodness and flavor it has! Getting the pecan cobbler next time! Fried corn was bland. It's just ears of corn fried... Doesn't make sense to me. Took one bite and said "nah uh! Why?!". Seriously though, pass on the fried corn despite the hand written sign tempting you on the line that says "Yummy". Giving it all in 4 stars even though the fried corn was "meh". It's new so hopefully it's gone next time I come by. :) read more

Midway has awesome food (highly recommend the chicken, sausage and brisket). The green beans are the BEST I've ever had at a BBQ place and it definitely has some one of a kind ambiance. Their staff is super friendly and always accommodating. I've been to Midway numerous, numerous times and my experience has always been good. Prices are fair for what you get. They also have a huge banquet room in the back of the restaurant available for events and there's no charge for the room as long as they're doing the catering and you will have at least 50 guests. We used their banquet room for my husband's birthday party two years ago and we're using it again this year for my daughter's Sweet 16. As far as events go, their staff is top notch and we never once were low on food during the event. This is now my go to place for any event that I know will be 50 people or more and friends who attended my husband's party have since used it as well. Also, the "more business info" in the sidebar here says that they have no wifi, but they do and it's free (though not secure). read more

I'm pretty picky about my brisket and this place has some of the best. Their sausage is good too. I highly recommend their sliced beef sandwich. And for dessert I recommend another sliced beef sandwich! It's good I don't live near this place or I'd weigh a lot more! read more

LOVE this place. The brisket is the best we've had in Texas and we've tried many different places. I'm not usually a BBQ sauce fan but theirs? Absolutely delicious. We're from Tennessee and typically do not find baked beans in Texas. Well, they have them here and they're perfection. They have plenty of sides and meat options for different palates. BEST part? It isn't a chain! The people are extremely helpful, friendly, and kind. This kind of customer service AND delicious food? Unheard of these days. So glad to have discovered this little gem! read more

I came here to view the critters on the wall! Wow, last time I had been intimate with some of the dead heads was in Alaska. Would like to know the history of the hunt, folks in Katy seem mighty proud of their kill. Packed on a Saturday at 1:00, stumbled in here looking for Midway meat market. Not ravenous for b-que, nothing on the menu met the My Fit Foods category. Had baked potato, chopped beef, if I had 3 kids could have fed them all on this one item. Brought half the cherry cobbler home, no salivation but sugar never lets you down. Quality, not quantity, my personal mantra. Great for football teams with endless guts. Staff very nice, asked me if I wanted a shovel with my baked potato. Won't be back, but grateful to try something made in the USA. read more

Brisket was great, good flavor, could've been a little more tender, but that could've just been that particular cut. Pork ribs were delicious as well also not the most tender but passable none the less....salt levels on both were a little high for me. As far as sides we got the fried okra, BBQ beans, slaw, and dirty rice. Dirty rice wasn't good so the friendly cashier got it exchanged for some potato salad, which was the best side. The old man with glasses putting the plates together was unfriendly and dare I say RUDE. But the food and friendly cashier made it all par for the course. I've had much better BBQ but if you're craving BBQ and you're close by, do it. read more

I normally order from the KATY BBQ Company (Brisket wise, its the best); but this place is not bad either. I normally pick up the sliced beef sandwhich or baked potato (you cant go wrong with either). Friendly staff at a reasonable price. read more
