    Was running to my flight to catch it when I realized I had two hours to burn, so decided to stop here to grab a drink. I ordered a mule and lemme tell you: IT WAS STRONG! So I'll forgive them for serving it in a glass and not its usual copper mug. I finished maybe a third of it before I was feeling a little TOO good. I also ordered a slice of pecan pie and they gave me two. Bless you waitstaff of Q bar for getting me drunk and giving me a sugar rush so that I could rest easily on my flight home!

    In IAH Airport
    Beth S.

    Stopped here for a drink and a snack. We got to the airport about six hours before our flight. This place was perfect for a long wait. We had the ability to relax and plug-in There were several tables in the area with electrical that you could hang out at for long periods of time without inconveniencing other travelers. The food was average. We had nachos which consisted of chips, queso, sour cream, pico de gallo and guacamole. The service was fast and our server was attentive.

    Menu as of 11-15-22

    IAH AIRPORT / AMERICAN / 11-15-22 / DINNER +Loaded Baked Potatoes and BBQ Sandwiches. +It looks like a spin-off of the Q Smokehouse. +You can watch the cook make your food. -The grill and food prep areas are wide open, and don't look too sanitary. -Super high foot traffic depending on the time of day. Skip it and go to Bam Bam or Embers, which is a 3-5 minute walk towards gates C4 - C15.

    Ordered Food, it came quick a bit pricy but it is the Airport, however my plane is delayed 4 hours and I already have a 3 hour layover. The least United Air can do is give me more than $20 come onnnnn...... So poor! At least the music is good.

    First, don't get intimidated by this place. Just scan the QR code and you can order drinks and food. Otherwise, staff is more than willing to help. Ordered 4 meat. Fried Jalapeño with pulled pork. All tastes very good. Nice and quiet bar with outlets to charge.

    Garbage for $50
    Justin H.

    Garbage.... Worse $50 I've ever spent. I've ate plenty of Texas bbq and not sure WTF this is. Worst tasting beans, dry coleslaw ‍, warm beer, served 2 coronas that were skunked and no limes, bartender clearly had better places that she wanted to at.... Garbage doesn't even start to describe it.

    The driest reheated wings I've ever eaten
    Brian G.

    Fail !! Fail !! Fail !!! The worst bbq ever, hands down. Everything was dry. Wings were inedible. Dry and reheated made wings in a flat top. Just terrible. No service, just figure it out yourself. I didn't order chopped brisket, they advertised brisket slices on their menu and give you pre packaged dry chopped meat. So unappealing. What a waste of money. You just ruined Texas bbq. For shame !!!

    a tray of meat, macaroni and cheese and bread
    Jie G.

    Ok bbq choice for airport layover. A sampler plate costs $30 plus. It's not bad, but just not to Texas standard I guess.

    Bloody Mary
    Dakota S.

    I got a Bloody Mary and a breakfast burrito, with tip it was nearly $50USD. The Bloody Marry was tiny, but okay. The atmosphere is good though. Follow up the burrito cam out, mind its $17.00 it came with eggs and cheese and a small amount or jalapeño. When ordering from the menu you have to open the menu item to add meat, it doesn't come with any... for $17.00

    Brisket sliders
    Jennifer T.

    The sliders were delicious! The bread was perfectly toasted and the brisket was tender and juicy. I had to get extra bbq sauce on the side but that might be bc I like it extra saucy. I wish the sliders came with fries instead of chips but the sliders were still very satisfying. I ate two and took the last one to go. Glad I ate here before my flight! It was worth the $25 price tag.

    Can chicken
    Sabrina T.

    Awful...out of the places we messed up. Nachos with canned chicken. Regular bread with a some weird seasoning, is definitely not jalapeño cornbread.

    Yummy brisket sandwich. Texas BBQ!!
    Amanda J.

    Houston airport has a lot of contenders when it comes to getting a fast casual meal. Somewhere between the high-end sit down and fast food is Q bar. This was the only accessible restaurant with Texas BBQ and a quick open bar to park your luggage. The menu is limited and you have to order through a clunky pay as you order machine, although I was sitting at an open bar with ample staff. My iced tea was made quickly and to order without sugar. The sandwich was presented on a toasted and buttered brioche bun which made it feel fresher as it was clear the brisket was already cooked and set aside for serving. The gray onions brightened the flavor and added a bit of moisture that was needed. The chips were a nice accompaniment and completed the meal, making it just filling enough for a hungry woman. I'd recommend going by yourself or in a small group as there is limited seating. It's no frills, but when you want Texas BBQ, it's just right for on the go!

    Stuffed potato with brisket, cheese, sour cream, crispy onions, and bbq sauce.
    Keith W.

    Used to stop at Cousins BBQ for loaded potatoes before they remodeled the airport and made everything a bit higher end. Was at Houston international for a layover and stopped here for a quick dinner. Ordered a loaded baked potato with chopped brisket. Sat at the counter and it came out pretty fast. The potato was huge and portions of toppings were generous and tasty. Price was not bad for the airport. I think my total with tax and tip came out to about $20. Definitely will stop back again next time I'm in the airport.

    Remarkably mediocre food, lackluster service, and insanely overpriced for a cold plate. Would not recommend to travelers.

    Looking for an excellent egg and cheese biscuit before your flight? Look no further! Chef made mine right in front of me and it was amazing.

    Met someone here for a first date. Such chill vibes. Kinda tucked away, which I really like. They…read morehad a live band that day. The servers were friendly and attentive. Sat upstairs initially to hear my date over the band and moved downstairs eventually. Overall good time. Had beers and some fries. Would stop by again because it's so close to my home.

    I'm back my Yelpers. Good to be back. OMG. This place was told to me by one person and another…read moreperson thereafter and had me SOLD. Steak night advertisement is why I came on a Wednesday from it's Instagram page. From the entrance there's nothing like this place. Outside inside, wood built bar, 2 stories, gravel rocks parking and grass entrance. Has the feel of a local crawfish spot but good hole in the wall joint, with good food good prices drinks and vibes. Everyone here either greeted with a smile or greeted with a hi. That's right, leave your worries home, and any bitterness you have on your chest, cause this isn't the place for it. No kiddos here or young folks either. Closes 2am every night. Seems like a more club on the weekend, I can only imagine with alot of open flooring space and a DJ nightly. Grown Grown here. This place... I should of been coming a long time ago. This place is Underrated. Forget your chain bars these days, this is where it's at. Bathrooms, and tables and service everywhere. Behind a Shipley's donut along side the feeder road. You'll miss this place if you blink. Sat up top for the views, FIRST TIME. Fans are near seating so you're not hot. Food is ordered downstairs but they bring it to you wherever. But drinks can be ordered any area in here. MULTIPLE BARS INSIDE A BAR. Steak was tender. But wanted Medium well, it was more like Medium, but turned out better than I normally thought. Seasoned, butter and savory hands down, and potatoes was well done, and fully loaded. Drinks were stiff here as well. I can only imagine a Fri-Sun night... more crowded, probably standing at times for a seat. Parking lot is first come first serve, very limited. And of course parking near Shipley Donuts when they're closed, in case full, just another secondary. I would really recommend this place if you like enjoying outdoor eating and music with a crowd. This is a real bar, no questions. Must try on your bucket list.

    On a recent trip, I was famished with not much time between flights. After looking at the crowded…read morefast food joints with no place to sit, I saw Ember restaurant close by. What a difference, the restaurant had comfortable seating and you could get a drink with your meal, if you wanted to. One thing that was really nice was the speed, you can order from your phone or have a real person take your order. I chose the person and in less than ten minutes, the hot wings I ordered were in front of me. The menu has a lot of choices and it's expensive, but this is a quality restaurant, especially for a sit down meal in an airport. A lady nearby had the glass of wine, crab cakes and salad, which was the meal I would have ordered if there had been more time. The wings were flavorful and my soda was refilled without asking. Things go smoothly and fast in this restaurant, you don't need to worry about missing a flight because of slow service. I would definitely enjoy another meal at Ember, they are used to serving travelers good food and there is a bar if you only want a drink. Definitely recommended!

    Probably my 5th time eating here. Quality of service has taken a nose dive. Dont even think about…read moreeating at the little tables in the "bar area." Yuu will get absolutely zero service. The bar tender; dude in his mid to upper fifties with glasses and a scruffy graying beard only pays attention to the patrons right at the bar on stools - mainly the women. Says he doesn't even know if the restaurant has BBQ sauce - which BTW they do. It's Texas duh. Have always liked this place but today was not good. French fries are quite saggy and were cool and limp. Think - a safari and seeing the old saggy elephant with its Schlong just sagging and hanging there. That's like the fries here. 1 out 10 score for the awful fries. Tipping before you even get food or service. So f'ing ridiculous. Why would I ever come back. Plenty of other option in the terminal.
