Fried catfish! So tender, so clean, so crispy, not greasy. Perfect! Very nice fellas behind the counter take good care of you. The dining room has carvings that attract attention and there are some huge mounted snake skins on the wall. read more

Around 6 pm on a Friday night, a bbq restaurant in this area should have more than 2 other customers. We now know the food is the reason. 2 chopped beef on bun and cokes. The cokes were good. The "beef" looked like it had been in a blender. Their sweet & smoked sauce wasn't tasty at all. However, the sweet & spicy wasn't bad. But, you have to wonder what's in the "beef" that a blender might have been used. It was not good at all. read more

I have never been so disappointed until this today when I got a chopped beef sandwich which was very mushy and greasy that it just seemed like a bun full of barbecue sauce And grease. Don't get me wrong. It had a lot of chopped beef on it but it was mostly just mashed into a lot of sauce and the flavor was just tasting not so good. The menu online advertised Wednesday special chopped beef with two sides and a drink when we got there. That was not the case. We ended up with a chopped beef sandwich for $8. Not what is advertised online read more

Do not come here, everything is dry as fuck I almost choked. The green beans were soggy and my burger looked stupid as hell, it had one thick ass slice of cucumber with a stupid fucking toothpick and olive. I don't see how you can even garnish a burger like that but don't do it again, who the fuck puts half of a jalapeño on top of a fucking burger. And I wanted French fries not some stupid ass green beans with fucking ham in it that looks like rat nutsack. Everything is unseasoned and AGAIN dry as hell, genuinely inedible . Disappointed. read more

Whole Thanksgiving turkey was not very good like in the past years. New owners better get it together quickly or regulars gonna stop going

Nice little BBQ place close to home. Surprisingly good prices for BBQ. The chopped beef was what I went to get by the lb but I added in half a chicken, mac n cheese, and Banana pudding. The sauce on the chopped beef was great and not overly sweet. Loved the pudding and it was nicely presented. The chicken was ok but nothing amazing. I will definitely go back and get more chopped beef and try some of their other meats. This is the kind of place I want to support read more

It tastes great but made my husband and I have very upset stomachs. We got the ribs, turkey, and baked potato. Will not go here again.

I eat here at least once a week. The barbecue is excellent. The price is very reasonable. I drive all the way from Alvin to get here. I have tried all the barbecue places on this side of town and this is the best. All the sides are good and you cannot beat the price. read more

Absolutely horrible. This place was the best around 45 days ago. The owner decided to change the cut of brisket from a beautiful moist cut to dried out shoe leather. Do not waste a single penny at this place. Just pathetic decision by the owner. read more

Not a bad stuffed baked potato. Had the brisket. Great potato. All the fixings. Had a side of sausage. Really enjoyed it.

First of all, I need to start by saying this place has been in business for a long time for a reason. They have great daily specials that are home-cooked at a great price. I'm kind of old-school and always get the same thing every time I go in, which is the brisket And different sides, but I tried the St. Louis style pork ribs for the first time the other night and they were off the chain good. The staff is always very friendly and appreciative, but I have to go back to those ribs. They do a tremendous job on them and everyone that reads this should go in there and try them. read more

I've been coming here for over 30 years, and the quality has stayed high. It's close to home and always hits the spot when I crave BBQ. The staff is very friendly, without exception, and will even make small talk when you're going down the line. Glad this place has stood the test of time! read more

Hole in the wall bbq place. We were debating going to papa's bbq or Rudy's and somehow ended up giving Randy's a shot. It was ok, bbq may not have been fresh. My kids' brisket was pretty dry and over cooked. The chopped brisket on my baked potato was meh. The place looks like a throwback to the early 80's and not in a good way. The service was fine, that's why I'm giving them 2 stars. For the quality of food the price was too high, and the price wasn't that high. I do not think we will be retiring, it'll do if you really want bbq and aren't used to better quality. Ranks bellow papas, papas ranks bellow Rudy's, rudy's ranks bellow killen's and so on and so forth. read more

I have been going here and have never had a bad experience with the food or Service. The Old Guard has always been Great and the New Guys are just as Great ! I always get the two or three meat plates . I always feel like my Dad is cooking and I get to take some home for a snack later. Great place to eat !! And the Jalapeno Cornbread is exceptional!!! Thanks to the Staff for carrying this great food! All the sides are like homemade. read more

I have been going to Randy's BBQ for 10 years. Today their brisket is best in Clear Lake in taste and price. What I rave for is their HOMEMADE BBQ sauces to stir your tastbuds. Mustard BBQ, Carolina Vinegar based BBQ, Sweet and Smoke BBQ or just your reqular Texas hot BBQ sauce. No one else makes their OWN BBQ SAUCES like this!!!! My family eats this as a staple each week. PS: the moist Brisket is my recommendation. read more

This place knows how to smoke the "meats" always and consistently tasty juicy and delicious!!! The sides are all prepared, like my granma made em. They Evan make sweet desserts. This place sits right on hwy 3...southeast Houston, plenty of parking. The staff are friendly and helpful. If you want good BBQ, come on down ya'll read more

Brisket is so tender. Every day they have different specials On Friday my favorite is the fried catfish with 2 sides and the best cornbread. Also they have pork tenderloin with 2 sides if you don't want catfish. Plus you need to check out menu. The turkey is a big hit with my Grandson. We have never been disappointed eating here. Service is always wonderful. Always greeted with a smile. We have families get together here now. Very kid friendly . Plenty of parking. read more

Always get our briskets smoked here!! Comes out juicy and flavorful couldn't be happier read more

Randy's Smokehouse BBQ - Smoked brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Webster, Texas

Have always been skeptical of this place, finally decided to give it a try. I dont think theres enough crowd volume to make sides fresh so they are kept heated and stored. Mac n cheese was generic. Out of the box flavor....disgusting. That was disappointing. Brisket was dry. Ribs were nice and tender tho. I'll pass on this place next time I crave bbq. read more

Randy's Smokehouse BBQ - Macaroni & Cheese watered and flavorless. Definitely out of the box. - Barbeque Near Me - Webster, Texas

I just got take-out from here and on the white board Randy asks you to rate his restaurant on Yelp so here I go. I only got 2 things: A can of Caffeine Free Diet Dr. Pepper and 1/4 lb sliced Brisket. The brisket was so dry I had to douse it in BBQ sauce to get it down. The top was burnt so badly, and was like eating wood chips: it took off a crown on my lower molar. (to be fair, it was a temporary crown..) BUT: Never fear, the can of soda was wonderfully cold and fresh. That alone is worth 3 stars since most establishments don't even offer Diet Dr. Pepper in a can, much less, cherry vanilla or caffiene free. read more

Randy's Smokehouse BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Webster, Texas

After visiting the Lone Star Flight Museum with out-of-state holiday guests, we decided to indulge their request for "real Texas barbecue" by taking a chance on Randy's. Another (chain) BBQ place was also close by, but we like to support local small businesses when possible, so we took a chance on Randy's. Let's just say we were not able to proudly boast of the superiority of the Lone Star State after making that decision. Brisket: dry, salty and break-apart "crumbly"--way too long warming after smoking, I'd guess. Very disappointing pork ribs--no real flavor. Good sausage. Decent home-made sauce though the supposed "spicy" sauce really wasn't. Excellent slaw and potato salad (the latter with a choice of mustard- and mayonnaise-based varieties...get the mustard) were clearly the high point of the meal. Completely tasteless greens--no pig meat, no salt, nothing--REALLY needed a shot of pepper vinegar. Cornbread so sweet I thought it was cake (not my style, but others might really love it). I wish I could be more complimentary, but I just can't. Three meats and two of them clear misses is just too great a hurdle to overcome. El Rauncho Grande. read more

Some friends and I have been going here for probably the last six months on Fridays for the fried fish special. The fried fish special has been so phenomenal and when you leave your tummy is quite happy and full. Major comfort food. We went yesterday and we noticed there's some staff changes, but that kind of thing happens at all restaurants. The kicker was there were gnats in the drink machine area and then also the salad bar and baked potato condiment area! Not a lot, but just enough to be annoying We were really surprised never seen anything like this B4! here. We asked if the manager was around and we were told not at that time. We feel sure they will address the issue. You can't stay in business if you don't take care of business! And evidently they have always done so or they would Not-still be in Business. The food is seasoned well & very tasty, so if they address & get rid of them, everything will be good. read more

Simply said. Great menu with delicious food! Can't complain about much! Will return soon! read more

Randy's Smokehouse BBQ - Awesomeness - Barbeque Near Me - Webster, Texas

BBQ pork, brisket and ribs didn't have much flavor, and everything we had tasted old as well as the macaroni and turnip greens.

The chili was terrible. The barbecue was OK. The potato salad was wonderful. I really enjoyed it. I even like the restaurant. I like the set up and been here a long time. I've lived out here 30 years and this is the first time I tried it don't think I go back. read more

Food was ok. Really annoying political message as you walk in. We were hungry and didn't care enough to leave but won't be going back. Maybe if they were more focused on the food, it would taste better. read more

Good lunch specials, first visit was pork chops which were huge and tender but lacked in flavor. Greens were pretty lackluster , seasoned potatoes looked good but tasteless. Second visit 2meat dinner chicken/ribs which tasted oven baked . Cucumber salad was fresh and good. Mustard Potato salad was made from old seasoned potatoes which didn't taste good. Jalapeno card bread was delicious. Overall the customer service is good. And this place survives by regular customers which is good thing . read more

Well got a brisket sandwich. Didn't really care for it. Was dry, sauce was rather watery, greasy, not much flavor. The Carolina sauce was good. Chicken and dumplings were not good. Had a rancid flavor, so told management, Not sure this was a good experience. Cheers read more

Great BBQ and pretty good cost. I had the sausage and brisket for a quick pick up. I remember the online menu is different than what they have, so unless they've updated that, you'll want to call in your orders or go in. read more

We come here all the time for the bbq. It's quiet and spacious and rarely busy. It's easy to order and eat quickly which is super important with kids. The food is very good and we really like the sweet smokey sauce though the regular sauce is very good as well. Tonight I brought my sons to try their burgers. I was very pleased. Nice, big burger and a selection of real sides, not just fries. Thanks Randy's! read more

Randy's Smokehouse BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Webster, Texas

Randy's is the best in the area. Well above average. Has a great selection of great sides and deserts.

The owner has a really bad attitude...he treats the delivery guys like crap. He does not seem to realize ...that these guys are TAKING FOOD TO HS CUSTOMERS..he should understand he is not doing them a favor. read more

Great food and great prices! Extremely friendly staff. Definitely a hidden gem. The spicy BBQ sauce is my favorite and you can't beat the $3.99 salad buffet! Perfect for a quick lunch!! read more

Randy's Smokehouse and BBQ screwed us over!!!! I have used these folks for about 4 years to smoke my turkey. I called to ask when I needed to have my turkey there for it to be smoked for Thanksgiving. Was told it was too late to bring the turkey in but I could purchase a turkey from them, said they offered a 12 & 14 pound turkey. I ordered the 12 pound turkey and was told it would be $60. I gave them my debit card over the phone. I check my bank account a few days later to find they charged me $97.43!!! I was furious!!!! Their explanation was that I was given the wrong information!! I went up there & cancelled my order and they issued me a refund. So today I check my bank account and do not see my credit from them. I call the bank and they tell me that Randy's Smokehouse and BBQ cancelled the refund!!!! What kind of business does this!!!!! I will continue blast them until I get my refund, they actually stole my money!!!!!! read more

Randy's is under new management (a Mr Jihan Jaouhari) and the place has gotten a bit better this year. Ribs used to occasionally be a bit dry; seems to have fixed that. Plus they've fixed the broken drink machine, they're keeping the relish bar stocked. On the other hand, they took down my favorite cartoon - that always hung by the register - of Garfield barbecuing an owl. I usually get the ribs. There's a lot of stiff competition here about, but they do a decent entry. Pretty tender, rich flavor. I eat here every few months with a group of guys; I'm not partial to sausage, but my friends are and they always are pleased. A couple decor things make Randy's stand out . They have more than adequate taxidermy for a Texas BBQ joint, including really big rattlesnake skins. But more than that, they have good chainsaw art. If you don't know chainsaw art, this is the craft of whittling a statue out of a log, using chainsaws. The chainsaw Indian chief is my favorite. Also, the new management just put in a bunch of neon on the front. I'm a fan; check it out. read more

Outstanding food....priced right and lunch friendly! Glad I found this place I will try it again! Update...Excellent food and service--hole in the wall local eatery feel to it! Food is very good.....I had the Carolina Sandwich with BBQ beans...simply outstanding. I'll be back! read more

We really wanted to like this place. When we walked in, the place had a very cool bbq-place feel. The food however, was not good. We actually left half of the food on our plates and left. We ordered ribs, brisket, sausage, beans, and macaroni and cheese. All of it was completely flavorless. We tried adding salt, but that did not help. Even the barbecue sauce was bland. read more

The Mac & cheese is watered cheese, the chicken is too dry, and the potato salad is really good! read more

Randy's Smokehouse BBQ - Half a chicken, mac & cheese, potato salad. - Barbeque Near Me - Webster, Texas

This place is horrible! Brisket tastes boiled. Ribs were dry. Sauce is a joke. Next time going to Pappas!!!

Noooooooooooo. This isn't the Randy's I've been going to since 1993. This isn't even bonafide BBQ. And guess what? If you are going to have dinner here, you better be ready to eat before 7:00 pm. The sides aren't good and the meat is mediocre. At 7:03 pm, you cannot get a salad. You can't even get some onions to go with the BBQ. Apparently they think they have the market cornered on BBQ in Clear Lake, but guess what? Rudy's is the BOMB. They stay open until 10:00 pm, all the condiments are out, the sides are amaaaaaazing and the meat is proper BBQ. read more
