Ribs and Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage Plate
Allen U.

Delta Blues, we meet again. This is my first official review of this place although I have dined here once before, you can tell by my return that the restaurant left a great impression both food and service. We reserved on our way to Webster online which made checking in easy as possible. For the lunch hour, it wasn't too busy, and plenty of seating available I noticed as our hostess took us to our seats. The host was very accommodating, ensured our needs were met and drinks were always filled. Now let's rated the food! The ribs here are St Louis Style, smoked perfectly paired well their spicy jalapeño cheddar sausage with their creamy Mac and cheese and buttery mashed potatoes. My wife ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken, hand breaded generously portioned chicken breast fried crispy and topped with their creamy gravy I highly recommend! The All American Pie is a great way to finish off the meal with its warm, home made crisp apple pie goodness top it off with the vanilla ice cream and it makes for a great ending! The interior is a mixture of rustic and fine dining decor. Overall the food, service and reasonable prices makes us coming back, I always make Delta Blues a stop when going anywhere on this side of Houston!

Blackened catfish with Mac and cheese and carrots

Had a reservation, still waited a bit. Guy behind me lost something in his seat so I kept getting jostled. That aside? Great food, very good prices for the portion sizes, and courteous service. Crowd is mostly casual but we had a decent time.

Was in the area for work and walked 0.7 miles each way from my hotel to Pappas Delta Blues -- rain or shine. Monday I power-walked through a straight-up monsoon. Thursday I was standing in the middle of the road waiting to cross when a cop pulled over: "You okay?" "Yeah, just trying to get to Papa Delta Blues." He let me go. Legend. Worth every soggy shoe. Night 1: Brisket sold out after 8pm. American Airlines had only fed me one biscotti all day so I was feral. Waiter recommended the ribeye with mushroom sauce -- the good stuff from the Pappas family legacy, where the cows apparently have better résumés than most people. It arrived and I almost cried. He even sliced a piece to confirm medium rare like a steak sommelier. Sides were ridiculous. Went back ordered ribeye again. Did it plain. Did it with onions. Creamed corn changed my life. Staff is suspiciously nice. Brisket never stood a chance. This ribeye (and the walk) owns me now. Official Webster steak pilgrimage site. 10/10 would walk through a monsoon and traffic again!

My family and I stopped at Pappas Delta Blues while in the area. We parked, walked in, and were greeted by several friendly hosts. We were then seated pretty quickly. The restaurant had a several sections for seating and a large bar area with interesting decor. After being seated we waited awhile before our waiter came over and greeted us. He was very friendly and took great care of us the entire time we were there. He got our drink order and gave us menus. After a few minutes he returned with our drinks and took our order. To start we all shared an order of rolls. The rolls were good. They were soft, hot, and a good size. The butter melted on them as it was applied. My son ordered a steak with the macaroni and potato salad. He doesn't eat sides so my husband and I had a lot to share but he said his medium cooked steak was delicious. My husband ordered the prime brisket combo which comes with brisket and another choice of meat. He chose pork plus two sides which were cream corn and smashed potatoes. He finished the meat and said it was good. He really liked the flavor of the cream corn. I ordered from the brunch menu and got the brisket benedict which comes with brisket and a poached egg on top of a biscuit and a side of hash browns potatoes. I wasn't sure what to think with the combination of brisket and poached eggs but I was pleasantly surprised. The biscuit was thick and strong enough to hold all of the ingredients. The brisket was a nice addition. It was semi salty and tender. The poached egg was a positive bonus. I like eggs and the way the yolk tastes all over everything. The combination of the ingredients made a savory benedict. The hash brown potatoes were good. The potatoes were crunchy on the exterior and the bigger potatoes were soft on the interior. They were mixed with small green onion, grilled onions, and peppers which gave them a hint of extra flavor. I tried the macaroni and it was really good. It had a crumble on it which I liked plus the macaroni was tender and the cheese flavor was there. The potato salad was okay as it had some good sized potatoes but it only had a a little flavor. The mashed potatoes were okay as they were soft and smooth with a hint of butter. The cream corn was delicious. It was creamy and very flavorful. My husband and I both agreed that it was the yummiest and tastiest side. Overall Pappas Delta Blues was a good stop to have lunch. The restaurant has lots of seating, the service was great, and the food was pretty good.

Sunday's Deviled Eggs
Mike C.

First time eating here. Such a great atmosphere. This place is lively and the staff were very friendly. Our waitress Courtney was very helpful explaining the menu. We started with an appetizer. Sunday's Deviled Eggs smoked pork belly & homemade pickled onions, with Crystal hot sauce. I got the Rib Combo. Along with the Ribs I chose Smoked Pork Belly. The two sides I chose were Pit Smoked Beans and Beans and Green Beans. Everything tasted great! Very generous portions. We were brought some bbq sauces but to be honest the food tasted great the way it came out. Definitely coming back.

The lunch meal.

First visit and no non alcoholic Beers. I had a garden Salad with a Plain Baked Potato. Looking around the portions are huge. Also had the wings. Food good tho on the high end. A bit loud, clean and lots of parking. Please make it better by serving all Organic Foods and beverages with Spicy Creole seasoning, with Habanero hot sauce. The staff especially the waiter was friendly and service was good. Casual and loud.

I had the catfish, and it was really, really good -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I genuinely enjoyed my meal from start to finish. The service was great, and the atmosphere had a cute, country-style vibe with light music in the background that wasn't too loud, which made it perfect for conversation. It felt like a relaxed, welcoming spot that's ideal for a family dinner or casual night out. Overall, Pappas Delta Blues Smokehouse is a great place, and I'll definitely be back.

Stopped by to celebrate a family birthday. On a Sunday afternoon, this place seems to be popular with families. The wait staff was kind and helpful. The food selection was vast. We were a party of five and we tried the parker house rolls, and boudin as appetizers. I had the fried shrimp with mac and cheese and glazed carrots. Others at the table enjoyed the pork belly burger, chicken and waffles and brunch plate. Notably, the boudin was smokey and contained brisket (yum). The rolls were a little lighter than I am accustomed but they were warm and tasty. I will certainly return to try more of the menu selections.

It's high time for an updated assessment of Delta Blues Smokehouse (DBS), which I last reviewed with a solid four stars in November 2017. Following my visit last night, I'm happy to report that DBS is now deserving of a full five stars. ​I've been to DBS quite a number of times since it succeeded the late Bone Daddy's almost a decade ago. What brought me back on this occasion was Houston Restaurant Weeks (HRW), an annual culinary event that allows diners to give back to the community. At $39, DBS's HRW dinner is, in my book, a certified grand slam. ​My three-course meal began with the house salad, followed by a meat platter featuring two pork ribs with slices of beef brisket and pork belly, and was finished with a warm pecan cobbler. As I waited for the salad, I worried about how small each dish might be, but I was quickly proven wrong. The fact that it took me quite a while to finish the salad alone was a great indication that everything else would be just as sizable. ​The salad was fresh, though I do wish the croutons weren't quite so massive. But that's a minor detail, and it certainly didn't detract from the meal. ​The meats were, without a doubt, the major standout of the dinner. The ribs along with the cuts of brisket and pork belly were accompanied by tasty bowls of creamed corn pudding and cole slaw. I focused on the brisket and the pork belly first, and they were perfectly tender, juicy, and bore a great hint of smokiness. ​You might think with just two ribs, I ate them in a flash. However, that wasn't the case; the ribs were huge and so rich with deliciously sweet meat that easily fell off the bone. I even told the bartender--I was sitting at the bar to catch the Astros game--that because there was so much food, I almost forgot about the ribs! ​The pecan cobbler was a fitting ending to a truly massive dinner. The dessert itself was big beyond belief, but despite being stuffed, I still managed to make my way through it. I could describe it as sweet, rich, and satisfying. The ice cream that served as the foundation had melted, which I didn't mind at all since it meshed well with the pecans. ​To conclude, this HRW experience at DBS was nothing short of a five-star meal. It was truly one worth participating in.

Great ambiance, Lovely and clean location. Staff is very friendly and polite from entry to departure. Now to what you all want the food. Nachos with pulled pork- great tasting chips. Doesn't have that old oily flavor that I get from most places. The pork is well seasoned and has a nice hint of smoke flavored that doesn't overwhelms the pork taste itself. Smoked pork belly- OMG these are sweet, soft and tender. The honey glaze isn't too hard to where it sticks on your teeth but just right where it melts in your mouth. The belly wasn't fatty and greasy (thank goodness) this is a must have. Pork ribs combo with chicken- chicken was cooked well but kind of bland. All the seasoning and flavor was on the skin of the chicken. The smoked pork was wonderful the flavor was actually in the ribs and really juicy. I got it with the green beans and carrots and they are great. I like how the carrots are cooked well enough where it's not mushy but has some firmness and the beans also has a nice flavor with an oil that I can't get my tongue wrapped around but it's really good. Now to my server Kyaana- she was FANTASTIC very friendly and polite. Checked up on us numerous times which I really appreciated. Best part, we said that we would share the pork Combo we ordered and she actually had it separated on 2 plates so we both won't have to be sharing from one. That's great anticipation of someone's needs (5 stars). I did come here at an earlier date and had another server and I feel bad I forgot to check-in because that gentleman was nice also. The meals on that day was: Prime burger- This was Wonderfully, juicy, and tasty. The meat was cooked to medium as requested and the fries were awesome as well. Pork ribs combo with brisket- ribs fantastic and juicy, smoke flavor is a hit. The briskets tasted well and wasn't as dry as they looked but it was a really small portion for the amount you pay for it. The Mac and cheese was really creamy and nice. The macaroni wasn't over cooked and soggy and the cheese wasn't too much where it was running. The mashed potatoes was a NO NO it was grainy which tells me it was boxed and not real mashed but still wasn't creamy. It felt like sandish or like grits. Other than that this is a wonderful spot and will be trying the brunch soon.

Blackened catfish, slaw and beans!
Paul L.

I'm giving this a 3... the food was outstanding as were the cocktails. Our server on the other hand was less than stellar. Flighty. Ditzy. We had to ask for flatwear, we had to flag down another server for drinks.. it just wasn't up to the normal standards for a Pappas restaurant. But, all the food was really good. My catfish ate like a steak.. seasoned perfectly!

PRIME BRISKET COMBO. Add the Rib!
Brian B.

This is good! Darn Good too. Brisket & Pork Belly Combo with a rib add on. Mac & Cheese with the Pork & Beans and a cold beer. Put a fork in me a call it done. Really good bark in the super tender meat then splash the Spicy Vinegar in the Belly and yoy got a winner

Good but overpriced

Went there for Father's Day 2025 and again for my wife's birthday July 2025. The food is pretty good, the restaurant is nice and all, the service or just okay. On father's day we were sat at a table with a constant condensation drip from the ceiling. I don't want that moldy water on my food. On my wife's birthday, they had a waiter that was in training and everyone starts somewhere, that doesn't make the experience any less irritating. They were really nice and all just forgetful and overwhelmed. This place was better when it was Bone Daddy's back in the day.
