CAUTION- if you order the ribs, make sure you eat over the table, as the meat will literally fall off the bone, onto your lap. Visiting from out of town and decided to give this place a try. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. I was not sure what I wanted to try, so Sam, the owner, gave me a sampling of everything; brisket sandwich, spare rib, potato, salad, coleslaw, beans, macaroni and cheese, jambalaya rice, and french fries. Everything tasted better than expected, especially the french fries, as few BBQ restaurants are able to get these just right. I will definitely return tomorrow to try something new. Definitely ordering the macaroni and cheese and potato salad again. Special thanks to Sam, the owner, who definitely took care of me. He knew I was from out of town, but treated me like a long time customer, which I greatly appreciate. Give this place a try... You will not be disappointed! read more

Really good bbq! I ordered the baked potato with brisket and ribs. That's enough food for two people, but I was craving a baked potato while not wanting to miss out on the bbq. The ribs were nice not dripping with fat, but not dry either. The brisket was moist and very tender. The potato was super loaded with cheese, butter, sour cream, bacon bits and sprinkled chives. This place is next to a gas station, but not attached to the station shop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very clean, and everything looks brand new and spotless.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Super disappointed in the quality of the food. Did today being their burger special day, it saddens me that they are serving pink burgers. I understandably know there can be a little. But danggggg not the whole inside...especially when they took 15-20 min for my meal to cook.... read more

I saw a flyer for this place at my job and I never thought about it again until yesterday I was craving a filling lunch. Looked it up and it wasn't that far, I was surprised to find it in the parking lot of gas station and the lot was full of cars. I stepped in and the line and staff were friendly and quick with the order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean and a decent space if you want to dine-in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the two meat plate, brisket and turkey with sides of Mac and rice. To be forreal, I came because I remembered they had dirty rice (think they call it jambalaya rice) and if a barbecue spot has dirty rice I'm gonna come try it out. The rice was my favorite part but the Mac was good and the brisket and turkey was hitting to. I'm more into the sides at bbq spots than the meats but this place was good already. Check it out if your near Little York and Hollister there is not much to eat out that way. read more

Smokeroom BBQ - Two 2 Meat Dinner - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Had the three Texas tacos. They were great and the price was right. Will be back if I am in the area. Next to a gas station but don't let that fool you. This place has good food. read more

The brisket here took me back in time -- the very first bite instantly reminded me of being 7 years old, sitting at the table with family and enjoying true Texas BBQ. Now at 40, that memory came rushing back, and that says everything about the quality of the food. The brisket was tender, smoky, and full of flavor, exactly how it should be. The mac and cheese was creamy and seasoned just right, and the mashed potatoes with gravy tasted homemade. The loaded baked potato was generous and packed with brisket, cheese, and all the fixings. Portions are big, everything was served hot, and the BBQ sauce tied it all together perfectly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On top of the food, the service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming -- the kind of place you want to come back to again and again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're looking for BBQ that feels like a memory you didn't know you missed, Smokeroom BBQ is the spot. read more

Smokeroom BBQ - Chopped Brisket dinner and Brisket BBQ Baked Potatoe - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Took to long for my food and they forget to charge on one item. They were motmre concern about online orders then walk in customers

Saw the reviews, thought I'd try it out. I was waiting for friends to meet me here, so I got brisket nachos for $18.50! Way too steep of a price for so little brisket. The most flavorful thing was the jalapeños. The brisket was tender but had zero flavor. This is not Texas bbq. I'd put my own bbq against this stuff any day of the week and twice on Sundays. I tried adding some of their sauce- mistake. It is not made in house. If it is, they need to stop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice people, loud country music; overpriced poor quality food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Ooooo baby! This is the best BBQ I've had since living in Houston! The bbq sauce is given in the side which is very helpful. It's not overly seasoned and it taste just right! The meat was smoked well and wasn't gummy or anything! You can tell it's fall off the bone. I ordered through a 3rd party so I never spoke to anyone, which is a bummer because I'd love to tell them how good the food is. The only thing is that they are quite expensive, I paid about 14 dollars for just a burger! ‍ [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely would go back on my own and sit in just to see how the service and ambiance is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Smokeroom BBQ - Brisket Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

Tucked next to a gas station--though fully separate and proudly standing on its own--this Texas BBQ joint is the kind of hidden-in-plain-sight spot locals love to claim. Service is fast and friendly. The brisket is the standout: tender, well-rendered, and packing just enough bark to make you pause between bites. Ribs come seasoned to perfection, holding their own without a drop of sauce--though the house BBQ sauce is worth a taste. The sauce is balanced, not overly sweet, with just enough tang to complement rather than cover. Sides: The green beans are flavorful and cooked just right. The mac and cheese brings comfort food energy with stovetop nostalgia, though it leans heavy on the cheese--delicious at first bite, maybe a bit much by the third. read more

First time at this restaurant. Driven by here many times but never paid attention. Food was very good. My wife had a brisket stuffed potato and I had loaded fries with pulled pork. Fried okra was very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Smoke room was solid.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The brisket, turkey, and sausage was good. The pulled pork was different than I've had - a little less juicy but still good. My only complaint is I ordered door dash and they provided zero bbq sauce. I assumed it would automatically be included bc... well it's bbq. So that was a bummer. But the real hits were the sides, the sweet potatoes were delicious but mind you - these are dessert potatoes, they are covered in syrup and brown sugar but good none the less. The cabbage was an interesting option so I went with it and really enjoyed it! I also got the cobbler bc it pushed me over a price point to use a coupon and I'm glad I did! So good! I've never had peach cobbler before and I really enjoyed it. I would agree with other reviews that it's very crust heavy but personally that's how I like my pies, but just something to be aware of. Oh I almost forgot! I also added cornbread and it was perfect. read more

Been here twice now and super impressed! Their specials are a great value and I love their condiment bar! I get their baked potato and a side of fried okra. Their okra is perfect. Also, the pico de gallo is some of the best I've ever tried. The only thing I've tried and didn't care for was their banana pudding. I do, however, recommend their mango punch. read more

We are from out of town, came in to visit family. Came on in to Rudy's. From the time we walked in and ordered till the time we left...no complaints. Food was AMAZING. Very fresh. Cut the meat right in front of you. Family style dining which we absolutely loved. We like everything about this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Open restaurant concept! Sauces on the table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (Sissy one is great!!!!) Don't have to wait for anything. Manager came around and talked to people. Order the peach cobbler and rice Krispy treats! read more

My first time trying smokeroom, highly recommend!

I ordered through uber eats. So nothing to review for the ambiance or the service. I ordered a rib dinner with Cajun rice and potato salad. The bad were the sides. The rice is bland and potato salad didn't have any love in it. The good were the meats. The ribs were tender and tasteful while the smoked chicken was ok. I would definitely order the ribs again, but will try different sides next time. read more

We had them cater a lunch at my work. Everyone got food poisoning. It didnt matter what they ate. One lady had only Brisket. Another ate only the veggies. I had a full plate. Everyone in the group the ate the food had to call in the next day, including myself, because we had it coming out of both ends.... & even if we didn't get sick, the hallmark of good BBQ is NOT needing sauce. This BBQ definitely needed sauce. Would not recommend. read more

Wanted to try this place. Got a 2-meat plate (pork ribs, jalapeño sausage, coleslaw, and green beans) and fried pickles. The pickles were fried too crunchy. Couldn't even taste a hint of a pickle taste from them at all. The sausage was good. The ribs were big and lacked sufficient seasoning. Green beans had no taste, and the coleslaw was just okay. Won't be going back. read more

Ample parking, the service is good you walk up to the counter place your order and either be seated and they bring it to you, if they are not too busy, or they call you pick it up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating area is very cozy, but there is room to move around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The FOOD!! the meat is fall off the bone tender, the cabbage is delicious. We have eaten here several times, and with the exception of the nachos, Everything is so darn flavorful. This is smoked BBQ, you can taste the smoke and that is divine. read more

Ordered from here for the first time, the ribs and the brisket, super small portions, the meats were also super dry, flavor wasn't even good, the only redeeming dish there was was the mashed potatoes and a can of dr.pepper read more

Honestly, the food is great, when THEY GET YOUR ORDER RIGHT!!!! I've eaten here 4 times now and EVERY SINGLE TIME, my order is WRONG. I try to give them a chance because yes, food is good, but goddamn people, what's up with the miscommunication????? This was it for me! Can't even enjoy good food because you guys can't get it right!!! read more

The food was pretty good. I'd reach return and try again but earlier when the foods more fresh, I went at the end of the night so the brisket might've been a little better earlier in the day. read more

The baked potato was so soft and amazing. The brisket was cooked perfectly. Definitely would be coming back again.

The ordering was great and efficient.

He had the brisket and turkey plate with cabbage and mac & cheese. read more

Way over priced, $16 a sliced beef sandwich and the meat was dry. I will not be back.

Quick service and food was delicious. The portions are not bad for the price. Definitely recommend the baked potato.

This bbq restaurant has been opened for about 4 months now in a new building adjoined to an also new Chevron gas station. It shares a wall with the convenience store but is not a part of it so this restaurant is not gas station bbq. Inside its clean and sparkly with large windows looking out front from the medium size dining room.. Smokeroom BBQ is a counter service restaurant that is open 7 days a week. My first visit a couple of weeks ago was to sample their 1/2 chicken plate with my chosen sides of beans and potato salad.with cornbread for $13. The food was ready in about 5 minutes and served on a tray. The chicken was juicy and flavorful especially with the delicious rub they use here. I liked this bird. The beans were savory in its gravy and the scoop of potato salad was cool and mellow in taste. I liked this meal and gave it a 4 also considering its reasonable price. During the meal the chef came out from the kitchen to check on me. My second visit was to try the sliced brisket sandwich ($9) and added their homemade french fries for another $2.75. With a soft drink and tax the meal was $15 and arrived about 5 minutes or so after ordering. I didn't specify if I wanted lean or moist meat and I got both with more lean than moist. The amount of that tender meat pleased me on that medium sized bun along with its very smoky flavor. With their supplied bbq sauce it was a very good tasting sandwich (4). The large bed of homemade fries had skin on them and were hot and tasty. I enjoyed them (4) and always appreciate a restaurant making an effort to make them as opposed to the frozen out of a bag variety. Again during the meal another chef came out to check on the table. The employees here are friendly and appreciate the business. During my second visit I used the bathroom and found it to be clean and in order. Smokeroom BBQ is a very good place to come eat! read more

Stopped by Smokeroom BBQ with my Dad & a brother-in-law recently on our way to an Astros baseball game at Minute Maid Park & had a great visit. For us, it's all about the flavor profiles of the food & Smokeroom had it right with the meats & sides. I ordered their 2-meat plate with brisket & ribs -- both with that excellent, smoked meat flavor profile, cooked low & slow. Sides for me were whole kernel corn & potato salad. At 1st I had little hope of liking the corn because it looked frozen, but the corn was very good & swimming in a pool of salty melted butter. Potato salad was dry, so I probably wouldn't e order it again. Service is pretty standard -- order at the counter & then pick your own table to eat. Drinks were refillable with help from behind the ordering counter. Ambiance is lacking a bit because Smokeroom is in a gas station in an industrial neighborhood, but that doesn't matter to me as much as the meats. All in all, I like Smokeroom a lot! read more

This little spot is hidden next a gas station. The inside looks fairly new. They do have various options even if ure not into bbq! I got the giant smoked turkey leg and a side of green beans. The green beans were pretty good. The turkey leg was a bit dry on the outside but moist on the inside. You do have to eat it with the sauce though. My bf got the beef ribs dinner and the beef ribs were decent size but they were not exactly falling off the bones. The food is still good and so are the sides but I will say that they do need to invest in sharper knives. We couldn't cut thru our meat at all... Service was fast and friendly! read more
