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

Very good bbq in Katy! We love the brisket, chopped beef sandwiches, fried okra and macaroni and cheese.

The best BBQ place I have been.... by far!!! The pork ribs and the brisket are from another world!!!

I LOVE this BBQ over all BBQ places I been since moving here. I think they have the best top to bottom taste of the BBQ I have tried so far. Some of it is the atmosphere and the type of place it is, and you can go to the market and get some great sausage. Likes: Ribs, Brisket, Sausage, good smoke and flavor Dislikes: I would prefer they either get better bread or go traditional and do loaf of wonder bread or white bread. Stay away from the cheap buns it doesn't fit. Recommend- Yes go and try it out! Check out the sausage next door. read more

Very disappointed in this place. You'd think being in Texas they'd have better quality BBQ. For instance, order a chopped beef sandwich, came out looking and tasting like the canned sloppy joe mix, mostly sauce, very little meat. Slice beef was dry. Haven't been back and will not go back after trying it twice. read more

The food was really good and the employees were super sweet I'll definitely recommend this bbq place.

Nice place to take your family. Reasonable prices. Great food. Nice portions. Awesome servers and cashiers. Quick service.

Memorial Day Monday I just wanted some BBQ like everyone else. So I went to Rudy's but there was a line out the door. I'm not doing that. Decided to try Midway since it's near my house. Got a sliced beef sandwich and a loaded baked potato with chopped beef. The sliced sandwich was OK. I'm not really convinced the brisket spent much time in a smoker. Maybe an electric smoker or something. Seemed like it was oven baked with a hint of smoke. It was tender, but that's about all. They gave me loads of pickles and onions to go with it, I guess that's a plus. The BBQ sauce was good too I thought, but BBQ sauce is a personal opinion. Now...on the the potato with "chopped beef". The chopped beef is some type of beef mystery mush. It reminded me of what they tried to pass off as BBQ sandwiches at the cafeteria when I was in elementary school or what you would get at a baseball game and they would scoop it with an ice cream scooper and slap it between two buns and call it a BBQ sandwich. I'd almost bet this is some type of pre packaged or canned "chopped beef" they buy from Sysco. Id be shocked if this is made in house. 3 Stars is for super friendly staff and good atmosphere. But they seriously need to find a way to step up their BBQ game. I really want to like this place and want to see them do well. Nice building, good location, great customer service. But the food falls short. At least the chopped beef does. C'mon Midway, I know you're capable of so much better. You have a great building a great staff. Let's work on making great BBQ too. read more

It was really good! I have not eaten there in a long time because I always felt like it wasn't that good, I stand corrected I was super impressed by the brisket and for me that's saying a lot! read more

I don't know why I waited so long to try this place!! I've been twice now and everything has been amazing. My husband usually goes with a two meat plate with two sides. The portions are extremely generous for the price especially with tons of bbq places out here to compete. I went with the bbq potato and it was again generous and delicious. Staff is friendly and you order in a cafeteria like setting. Always room to sit even when they are busy. Go check it out! read more

Excellent bbq. Chicken is moist. Sausage is home made. Beef brisket is tenders with nice bark. Best around!!

Not really sure what people see in this place. We went for the first time and were completely under-whelmed. The quality of the food is really sub-par and everything was served at room temp or colder. We also watched the owner lady berate employees right in front of us...not cool. The ambience is...well, let's just say if you're into eating surrounded by dead animals, and lots of pictures of dead animals, then I guess this place is for you. Wasn't our cup of tea at all. read more

Friendly service. I love the bake potato and the chicken is also delicious. The restaurant has pretty cool decore

Second time here and again, Outstanding! Sliced beef so tender it doesn't need a knife. My stuffed baked potato was HUGE and I devoured it. Hands down favorite for Texas BBQ. read more

This place is really hit and miss. I have visited multiple times and have had some meals that are home-runs (excellent juicy brisket, great chicken, and awesome sides), other times the food comes across as cold, dry, and uninspired. A real roll of the dice... The staff is friendly and the restaurant is quite large. Ambience is interesting....myriad of stuffed wild game. They provide live country music from time to time on weekends, which is nice. read more

Was invited to an investment dinner.The buffet was excellent. The chicken was very moist and most flavorful.The beef was very tender and well seasoned.The sides of beans and potato salad was excellent. The peach cobbler was still warm...and a welcome treat. I am glad I went and enjoyed every minute of the presentation and meal. read more

The best brisket you can put in your mouth. We ordered takeout online last weekend. Turkey was very moist and the sausage is great too. They never disappoint. read more

Very very good food and great portion sizes. Love this place first time ever going the decorations onside the place is very well organized

I grew up as a kid eating Midway, they have the best homemade sausage as well. I can remember coming to their store which cooked food on the side for 45+ years. read more

This was our first time and we were impressed! Whether it was because I had been hungry for ribs for two weeks prior or their inate quality, they were far beyond what I expected, as were the BBQ beans. We are temporarily hotel living after being flooded out by Harvey and see more Midway BBQ meals in our future! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch, the chopped brisket sandwich was mouth-watering. Staff were super friendly and very helpful. Restaurant and Ladies room were both super clean! We will definitely be back soon! read more

Very good BBQ in Katy. My wife and I both had a sliced beef sandwich which we both enjoyed.

The food was a disappointment. The jalapeño sausage was dry. The brisket sandwich was cut terribly and tasted worst. The sides were extremely small for the price. There are way better BBQ options in Katy. read more

The food here is pretty good. I just have to complain about how they do their orders with Uber Eats. I have ordered from this place twice from Uber Eats and both times they forgot to add a side of fried okra to a brisket plate. Also, the bag that the food came in was not closed. The fries were coming out the box and the bag was completely opened which it shouldn't, they should make sure the bag is closed. I won't be returning to this restaurant anymore. read more

We go here frequently ... it's even become something of a tradition in our family to go to Midway BBQ before Katy football games! We are gluten-free due to allergies and they were very accommodating, working closely with us to determine what items were safe and what items were not. It turns out that almost everything is gluten-free! Staff changes gloves and handles our items with care to prevent any cross-contamination. The staff is very friendly and it definitely has that small-town "charm" ... they get to know the regulars and, with us, change gloves as soon as they see us. The food is also excellent ... their loaded baked potatoes are overloaded with fixings and they are generous with meat portions on the plates. read more

I had ordered my food using there online portal for pickup. Walked in and let the Cashiers in the front know that I was waiting for my order they came back and said that the order was taking a little longer to prep but it was almost ready. Wait other 15 minutes and still nothing asked them to check again and they never got back to me. The manager was around making her rounds and ignored my the table I was waiting at so I finally called her over and asked what the eta what would be she quickly checked the table and found my order and handed to me. I had seen that bag setting at the table for over 20 minutes and was quick annoyed of why I would have to eat cold bbq after asking for my order several times she tired to pass off the blame to a worker that was running the orders but I quickly stopped her saying half the restaurant staff was aware of my order and no one took the time to look for my food. A generic apology was issued and the whole cooking staff thought it was a great idea to jeer me on the way out which is cool but I did not have anymore time to address that. The food tasted good a little cold but the bbq it's self tasted fine better than spring creek down the street. I got the family meal and it was enough for everyone. read more

I've eaten here a ton, they catered our wedding reception actually. They do really well with catering FYI, it's affordable, quality food. All you need to know about Midway is that the jerky is the BEST you will ever have - it's the only jerky I will eat. Absolutely fantastic and worth every penny. My only reason for not giving the place 5 stars is that it's a little high for BBQ in my opinion and I'm not huge on looking at taxidermy while I eat. Nothing against it - it's just not dining room décor you know? read more

I'm done giving BBQ places passes because I don't go at the optimal time. 2pm on a Saturday, don't stay open if you can't handle it. Especially since the pit was going the entire time I was there, and there was a steady stream of customers at the counter. Secondly, I came here solely because of the write-up by Robb Walsh of the HP. I'm not sure that we even went to the same place. If you read my BBQ reviews, you might see that I always get the same thing: 3 meat plate, usually 2 sides - three if I can get away with it. In order of importance I rank a joint on: 1. Brisket 2. Ribs 3. Sausage; Sides: 1. Beans 2. Potato Salad 3. Cole Slaw; Sauce is last. The location: this is my favorite kind of BBQ joint. Old meat market, no frills, pit easily visible. The ceiling is cloaked in burlap sacks, the walls are bare wood, and there are a 1/2 dozen little tables situated in an "L" around the serving area. By the front door is the smokehouse w/ a huge barrel style pit that runs solely on pecan. Next door is a small grocery store w/ a healthy butcher department that makes their own sausages. There's also a deer processing component out back. The brisket was solely from the fatty or deckle end and was crazy tender. I mean: fall apart tender. It had a nice, sweet, dark bark, but little smoke ring. It had a hint of smoke flavor and was tasty. The problem is that this is overcooked brisket. Yes there is such a thing. It tastes good, but it's pot roast consistency. The ribs were dry and chewy. Not over cooked, but had clearly been in the counter side warming ovens for far too long. They had a pretty tan exterior and an almost milky white meat. Once again, a very faint smoke ring and gentle smoke flavor. Robb's comments that these tasting like candy had no relevance to my experience. Me thinks age may be overtaking his taste buds, where sweet starts to become the more dominant part of the palate. Many rubs have brown sugar as an ingredient. The sausage was great. A mild beef/pork mixture, the meat was well seasoned w/ a crisp casing. Here's another part that I totally disagree w/ Robb on. These don't resemble the coarsely ground Hill Country links in anyway. They don't even make a link that resembles that type. Nor is it black and sooty from the pecan. They do cut it on a bias though. Anyway -yum on the sausage. And the best part is you can buy it next door raw to cook later. The sides: sweet baked beans. Hate this kind of beans. Potato salad wasn't bad. Classic chunky potato salad w/ mayo, mustard, and relish. Better that most commercial and grocery store brands. The sauce: hauntingly familiar. Served warm on the side, it's a thick red style w/ a nice, bitter twang to it. I had to ask if they made their own because you don't find this kind around here often. 'Kinda" was the answer that I laughed out loud to. We use the exact same sauce as it turns out. Cattleman's. They doctor theirs up a little bit, primarily w/ jalapeno. Cattleman's used to be available solely to the restaurant industry, since it's become available to the buying public it's become my sauce of choice. I too doctor it a bit, but that's my secret. What kills me though is that Robb called this "toothache-sweet." Huh? I like the vinegar sauces too, but not the exclusion of all others. Go buy some and mix it w/ pickled jalapenos. Doubt that "toothache-sweet" will be your thought. I know in my heart of hearts that this place is capable of some great 'cue. It was not great on this visit. I promise another visit soon. read more

We had dinner tonight and the service was lacking! Our food was cold by the time we sat down and it wasn't crowded. Then they started stacking chairs at 7:30 with customers in the restaurant and sitting next to the tables. The topper of the experience is when a kitchen staff came out talking on his cell phone and washed his hand off under the water at the drink station! read more

I just stumbled into this place while moving my son down to Katy, TX. I had no idea what kinda place i was walking in to. What a treat! I ALWAYS ASK what's good, or the signature dish...well, the guy behind the counter surprised me in this BBQ place to say, the fish..or catfish. I made up my own platter by adding some very tasty chunks of brisket, bread, and a generous side of beans, onions & pickles. Really good catfish and brisket as well. BBQ sauce was good but I like mine just a bit sweeter. Only suggestion I would make here would be to add a second option with a sweeter, smokey sauce. Meat was smoked just right and delicious. Catfish was white, fresh, and crisp. YUM! The atmosphere of the new location, for the hunter of fisherman, is HEAVEN! Unbelievable amount of taxidermist wildlife...probably at least 10 elk, several bear, deer, full body mounted arctic wolf, grizzly, walrus teeth, huge fish of all kinds, and a replica of a huge wooly mammoth! Come on! Where else can you get great BBQ & catfish and eat it under the trunk of a wooly mammoth! All the workers were very friendly and humorous. Definitely, 5 STARS! read more

This is a Great place to take out-of-state visitors for a real taste of Texas. Both the food and the atmosphere. Especially when a local band is playing. Right in the heart of "down-town" Katy, only 30 minuets drive from Houston. read more

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

We moved out to Waller county several months ago and discovered midway. First bite, AMAZING. Since we've moved over here, we've ate here at least twice a month. As of recently though, every.single.order.wrong. Pay extra for a vaca do on a burger, no avocado. Pay extra for added sausage on a baked potato, no sausage. Order Mac and cheese with a kids meal, no Mac and cheese. We always order 2-3 meals so you would think, "hmm this many people, they need bbq sauce" NO BBQ SAUCE ANYWHERE. They always pack bbq sauce in the bag, not the last two times. May need to find another bbq place after several consecutive botched orders. read more

Best Fall off the bone BBQ great customer service my husband loves this place I took him here for a birthday dinner and it was right on!

If you like BBQ don't go here. Terrible, meat is always over cooked. I given this place several chances with great disappointment. Anyone who says this place is good doesn't know BBQ. read more

We came to Midway Bar-B-Que for Sunday lunch for the first time. The inside is nice and spacious with hunting trophies adorning the interior walls. I ordered the pork sandwich with fried okra and green beans. My wife got a sliced beef sandwich with potato salad and mac and cheese. The pork was very good with a nice smoky flavor. No sauce was necessary. The sides were all tasty and accompanied the sandwich nicely. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I went with a group at 11:15, expecting great things. People all over Katy told me how good this place is. The lady who rang me up was very sweet and personable. She was the reason for the second star. I ordered the sliced beef sandwich with sweet potato fries and mac n' cheese. The macaroni was the best part of the meal. It was flavorful and tender. The sweet potato fries didn't seem hand cut, but looked and felt like they were frozen from a bag. Now to the draw: the BBQ. It was dry and bland. At 11:15, you wouldn't expect the meat to be overcooked, but sure enough, there it was. It kind of tasted like those pre cooked briskest you can find at Walmart. I added sauce and that seemed to help some. The sauce was more watery than I'd like, but that's purely a personal preference. read more

The sides were ok but the BBQ was terrible. MY BBQ sandwich tasted like a sloppy joe and my wife's turkey was cold and dry. The people taking our order barely spoke English and weren't friendly at all (acted annoyed). And the live band had dogs howling 3 blocks away. We won't be back. No wonder it's dead in here at 6pm on a Friday. read more

Excellent barbecue from a down-home, mom-and-pop establishment. I thought their style of making ribs left them a little too dry and chewy, but every other meat I've gotten here is excellent. I wish the bread they gave you wasn't just plain white Wonderbread, but you can't have everything. The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from an authentic barbecue place. Don't go unless you're comfortable with having the lifeless, accusing eyes of a hundred taxidermy animals watching you as you dine on their kin. Also, the TV is always turned to Fox News, which adds to the authenticity of the place, but beware that Bill O'Reilly is always on at dinner time. All of this is to say the place has definite character, which I appreciate. There's not an artificial bone in its body, or on your plate. read more

This is one of our favorite BBQ places in Houston. They are very friendly and the place has tons of atmosphere. I recommend this place to anyone wanting BBQ read more

This was very good food. The fried pork chop was delicious. My only issue is all of the trophies around with pictures of the kills. I am not a vegetarian because just prefer to not see pics of people shooting giraffes and the like. Great food anyways. read more
