Took elderly relatives to dinner here as they live in Spring and said it was good. At the end of the meal, we realized what they like about the place are the soft all you can eat yeast rolls which were being rolled out constantly by staff. However, my husband and I agreed that this was the most disappointing barbecue we've ever had. Both of us got the pork ribs which were tough plus very sweet. The sauce provided was super sweet as well. The sides we selected--pinto beans, coleslaw slaw and potato salad were all sugared up as well--a diabetics nightmare. I couldn't eat the sides but needed to eat so struggled with the tough pork ribs which I didn't enjoy at all but ate out of hungry desperation. So, if you don't like sweet food (except for dessert!) and try to avoid unnecessary sugar--you've been warned about SCB. I think my sugar is still high nearly 24 hours later! read more

Why 3 stars? Because the other reviews are pretty dead-on - it's just okay. --- --- --- Full disclosure: I came here because I was given a gift card. I actually had a gift card for here and for a clothing store from Christmas, so I figured I would just make an afternoon of it. It turns out, I wasn't too dissuaded from the 3-star average. I thought the ribs were definitely the star of the show. The coleslaw was solid, and the hot rolls were a delightful treat. Everything else? It was the quality you'd expect from something like a Holiday Inn catering menu. The pulled pork, brisket, mac-n-cheese and coconut cream pie were all very forgettable. And one big takeaway here was: if you haven't been here, this is a counter service, where you go through the line with a tray and people serve you what you order. A really puzzling thing is that the glass/plastic was either fogged up or just too dirty to see through for the side dishes. It wasn't great for the meat either, but at least you could see what was on the other side. For that hot sides, it was like trying to see through a steam room. There's too much amazing BBQ in Houston for me to want to return. read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - Brisket, Ribs, Pulled Pork, Mac and Coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Good, speedy service! Nice and clean establishment. Good food! The employees were very helpful in their personal suggestions on the sides, they even let me try out the baked beans! We will be returning to this location! read more

We love getting take out from here. EXCELLENT BRISKET. Great ribs and sausage. Sides are a little mediocre but not bad... but with bbq it's the meat that's important. Love their signature sauce. We always have leftovers. read more

The food is pretty good and decently priced. The baked beans seemed a little lacking in flavor. The reason for the 5 stars is for the okra. It's hard enough to find okra but the okra here was made fresh and some of the best okra I've had. read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - Most of it was eaten by the time photo was taken. - Barbeque Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Like others have said: get the brisket, it's amazing, piping with juiciness and a perfect flavor! Yum! They know how to do it right here. Could've used some spicy Bbq sauce, but you can't have everything. Mac n cheese side was ok, not cheesy enough for me. The potato salad was really delicious and one of the best I ever had. For real! Service was self-serve, get a tray, plates and silverware, and order from each station. Everyone was nice and friendly and getting our food was easy. Nice decor throughout the restaurant, you definitely know you're in a Texas BBQ place! I'd return here again if ever in town and in need of a brisket fix. Yum! read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - Brisket Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Brisket was over the top! I mother had lean and I had marbled. We could have split a sandwich! The only problem that I had was they had no spicy sauce and I grew up on Randy Martin's BBQ sauce. There will be none other than that! read more

Had the three meat platter, ribs, brisket, and black pepper sausage. Brisket and sausage was very good as always. The ribs were very bland needed more dry rub and smoked longer. I will be back. read more

Went to an event in the private room and these folks couldn't have been more welcoming. Our group had fresh rolls (spectacular), fried okra (super crispy), ribs (yummy). Is it Franklins or Terry bbq? Nope - but it was good for chain bbq, or better. read more

The price was insane for the quality of food you're getting. The potato salad was the best side on the plate and it tasted like grocery store potato salad, The Mac and cheese was just noodles. The brisket overall was okay- the rolls the other reviews are talking about are nothing special. The service was okay. read more

Alright, look-it. You're not going to like your whole family...so you can't expect to like a whole BBQ joint. Let me explain: 1. The meat is awesome (we tried brisket, sausage, and ribs). Being able to call your cut of brisket is great, too. 2. The sides though. They were ok. That's all I can say. That's all I will say. One notable exception is the bread - get it fresh out of the oven - it's great!. I'll say it again, few things are perfect, but the bbq is tasty. Simple math. read more

I did not care for this barbecue at all, I had the sausage and brisket plate with beans and macaroni and cheese. The macaroni and cheese tasted like it came straight out of a box the beans were ok. The rolls look good but they did not taste good at all it was horrible, I was so disappointed and will not return I would not recommend. read more

Gotta try the brisket! Super tender and fell apart in my fork and juicy! Have to say their staff was so nice, friendly and accommodating. Customer service experience was a 10! Also this place is pretty family friendly too. Overall the food was solid! I'll be back. read more

This restaurant chain has lost me as a customer after years of patronage. I've been a member of their frequent customer group for some time. I recently went to redeem a free meal with purchase offer I had received by email. I ordered the two lunch time meals with the plan to take the second home. I did not order a beverage other than water due to health issues. At the register, they insisted on charging me the full dinner meal price AND charged me for beverage not ordered or received. This was hardly a perk or reward for a good customer. I refused to pay the artificially inflated scam price and the meal. I went across the street to Katz's for a very nice meal at $40. Not an issue of being cheap. It was truly in offense taken by feeling scammed. read more

Went to Spring Creek BBQ today for lunch and was very disappointed. It's been a couple of months since we've been there. We usually split one of the chopped beef sandwiches because they were a pretty good size and reasonably priced at $12.95 but today we were shocked at how much smaller the sandwich was. It's was at least 1/3 to 1/2 smaller than what we used to get. Very, very disappointed! Will go elsewhere next time we're hungry for BBQ. read more

The Food, Service, Cleanliness and Professional, Smiling, and Kind Staff are all top notch !! I loved every minute in the establishment. Even the sofa pop is 100 % perfect. I love they the crowd was diverse. Totally recommend this restaurant!! read more

Baked potato for lunch, no meat. I asked for extra butter and extra sour cream and they did just that. Everything on my plate looked like a picture and it tasted wonderful. My baked potato for dinner a few days later was good, but not as well prepared by the young folks on duty that night. Fortunately, for them, it's all set by the first. read more

Barque is no good. Price is fine for what you are getting. Best to go to Rudy's' if you want average barque

The bbq tasted reheated, they weren't handing out rolls and we noticed they had them pre bagged behind the counter, the brisket was soooo dry, horrible customer service, and charged us for a kids drink when it's supposed to be included. Never going back. read more

Tiny portions of crappy brisket. The brisket here is not cooked well. I've known the food here sucks for years.i only came here because my mom wanted to go. The sausage is ok. The chicken was pretty salty but ok. But the brisket was very bad. No visible smoke ring, we paid like 20 dollars for a 3 meat plate that had a terribly small amount of brisket which in itself is disappointing, it would have been acceptable if the brisket was good, but I got pieces that were so hard I had a tough time chewing it. The Mac and cheese was again terrible. How do you mess up Mac n cheese ? We should have known the food was going to suck when it was 12 noon on a Saturday and we were the only people sitting in the restaurant. That's the sign of a bad restaurant. Stuff that was bad : Beans weren't cooked well Mac n cheese was bland, had no cheese or flavor Brisket sucked. Which is the only real reason I go to bbq places. :( Very salty chicken. Coleslaw was gross. Stuff that was good Bbq sauce The cobbler was tasty and hot Tea was ok Sausage was good Fresh rolls were downright delicious. Nice staff Please go to Killens or Corkscrew and see/taste how good brisket is supposed to be. Please learn how to periodically taste food and see if it sucks. Your customers should not be your taste testers. Please learn how to make good Mac n cheese. Its the easiest, tastiest thing you can make for people and it costs you very little to make. I told a couple of staff that the brisket sucked ass. They literally told me they both didn't eat there because the food was gross. Your cost cutting is running this location into the ground, please get your shit together. read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - Thumbs down - Barbeque Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

We arrived and ordered our food , I ordered ribs that they had to heat up and brisket which had no flavor, the wife had chicken and baby back ribs that were definitely old and dry, potato salad was ok and Beans were not very flavorful, the real problem was the fountain drink machine by our table , the outside had mold and some kind of oily substance all over the outside. Pretty sure whoever runs this restaurant has no pride in their establishment. Will not be going back for sure read more

What do you eat when you're in the Lone Star state? Barbeque! So that's where we went on our last night in Houston. This location of Spring Creek BBQ was near the Woodlands. It was large, spacious and inviting. There were plenty of wooden tables and chairs throughout the restaurant and even some booths. We were a party of 14 so they gave us their semi-private dining area all to ourselves. Big thumbs up there. I noticed off to one side there was a station where you could order hot fresh peach cobbler topped with Blue Bell homemade vanilla ice cream for $5.25. I was too stuffed to try some, but it sounds delicious. This is somewhat of a self service BBQ restaurant and for good reasons. You que in line and tell them what you want. I tried the "combination" where you choose 3 meats and sides. Oh did I mention the sides are all you can eat?!? Hence you just get back in line and get more sides. Tammy got the chicken salad with a side of fried okra. Oh my goodness, that was probably the best fried okra I've ever had... Yom Yom Yom Yom! The breading on it was thick, crunchy and flavorful! I chose the chicken, ribs and brisket. For my sides I went with pork n beans, potato salad, cole slaw and green beans. The chicken had a wonderful bbq sauce cooked into the skin. Same with the ribs which melted in your mouth. The brisket was also grilled to perfection. The pork and beans had small pieces of bacon in it and their hot fresh rolls... Yom Yom Yom! Our server kept coming back asking if anyone wanted fresh hot bread. Come on now... I can only eat so much! Don't go there if you're on a diet! read more

We catered an event and I could not have been more satisfied with the managements help and assistance. Xavier was absolutely amazing! You have a forever customer is us, Spring Creek BBQ! Food was delicious too! Highly recommended! read more

I use to love Spring Creek. It was my go to Barbecue place. The last couple times I've been there it has not been good at all. The "extra lean" beef is not extra lean. It's too hard to chew. The meat has gotten tuff. The veggie aren't even as good as they use to be. I love potato salad and it didn't taste like it use to. I'm not sure if they may have changed where they are buying there meat from, but if they did I wish they would go back to the old ones if that's the case. Because I loved this place. I won't be back for a long time. It's not worth my money. read more

Food is decent barbecue but you no longer get unlimited sides which makes it a bust for us. Better off spending the $20 a plate at a higher end place as there's not much to the appeal when that used to make it worth it. read more

I made a order to take home to my family for quarantine. You are not allowed to go inside, but the employees were outside walking to cars and taking orders. Despite, the circumstances, the food still taste amazing! The BBQ here never disappoints me. I usually get a brisket sandwich with fried okra. The brisket is very seasoned and full of flavor. Some restaurants make their fried okra too salty, but this place has the perfect balance of salt. Also, the BBQ sauce has a very sweet and tangy taste to it. Their salad bar is definitely the cherry on top. There is plenty of onions, pickles, pickled jalapeños, etc. to choose from. My family really loves this place! read more

"Go get Spring Creek takeout!" Today was a cold rainy gloomy day and I didn't feel like cooking. Ever have days like that? I just wanted to stay in my slippers and eat a carb. So Mr. G came home with some goodies: Here's what we brought back... Ribs! Pulled Pork! Delicious fluffy buttery rolls that melt in your mouth! Mac n Cheese, Green Beans and yes of course for the cherry on top... PEACH COBBLER! Yum! All super-duper delicious and gobbled up! Now, I don't frequent this place much because I have to exercise all day for a week after I eat here. But... I do recommend this place for big groups. They have a room in the back that's enclosed with windows which we have used for a neighborly get togethers (yes, I am friends with all my wonderful neighbors, that's why they say the friendliest people on the planet live in Texas-it's true!) And thankfully Spring Creek hires the friendliest staff too:) read more

Spring Creek Barbeque - Idaho baked potato with chopped brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

I've been to spring creek bbq many times and it's usually good service and good food. Today I ordered a bbq baked potato online and it was scheduled for pickup at 7pm. I arrived at 6:55 and the food was finally brought out at 7:17pm (after I called twice to remind them). The restaurant was not crowded and parking lot pretty empty and I was the only curbside customer... the wait was ridiculous! What's the point of offering online ordering and curbside pickup if it's faster to just show up and walk through the line (would have been less than 2 min to make a potato). Once I got my potato it was warm at best and the cheese had gelled into a clump. It still had a decent taste just poorly executed. It seems like spring creek bbq hasn't worked out the kinks of curbside delivery or maybe is short staffed due to covid. Regardless, while covid is ongoing I'd recommend driving to Rudy's or corckscrew for faster service ... they really need to figure things out before killens opens or they will lose more customers than just me. read more

Been awhile since I've been in here... and now I know why - high prices and small portions... I had two meats (brisket/sausage) and no drink. Price was almost $22 bucks and not enough meat to feed a 12-year old. Plenty of other, better bbq places out there... read more

We had the dinner combination of Turkey, pulled pork and 2 sides. $18 !! Here is what we got: 2 slices of Turkey (literately) and large "scoop" of pulled pork that was drowning in some kind of honey bbq sauce ( mushy); for sides a tiny container of Mac and cheese that tasted like was from a box, and a tiny portion of Lima beans they called Italian green beans. . $18 for $3 worth of food. Oh, maybe the 2 large yeast rolls made up the cost? Not likely. I recommend getting the meat by the pound (not the pulled pork) We did Schedule online and food was warm and ready when picked up at time requested. That was the only good feature. Wish I took a picture of it. . read more

A solid THREE. What can be said about a chain barbecue joint? It checks all the boxes. Great flavor, decent smoke rings and tender beef. I would like the bbq to have a little more bark though. But I'll give them another star because they have that addicting fresh bread they keep bringing out. Oh yeah! read more

EEYUP. Just what I wanted. A "sliced" brisket sandwich with 1" thick slabs of meat. Great. Just ducky. Way to go Mr. Gourmet Meat Cutter. My dinner was basically like gnawing on a meat brick. By the way, your ribs were grossly over cooked tonight. Guys, you're kinda like Toasted Yolk on Rayford. They're the egg restaurant that doesn't know how to cook eggs. You're the BBQ restaurant that can't prepare BBQ. This kind of quality control stuff is really common for this store. Get it together please, because at this point, even Dickies is better than you guys, and they're the McDonald's of BBQ. Sorry but this meal totally sucked. read more

If you place an order online don't expect it to be ready when you arrive. I waited 45 minutes for my order. Was told they had a lot of orders, but several people came in after me, ordered and got their food. food is not good enough to wait that long. read more

UPDATE: back again for a second time. I usually don't update a review unless something major is deferent between visits. Well, this is no exception. Something major happened. After sitting down with my meal an incredible scent feel upon us. We knew what it was. It was heavenly. It was fresh baked bread. OMG. They had just baked a fresh batch of bread rolls. Then a beautiful angel made rounds with a basket full of this hot & fresh bounty. At least she seemed like an angel. I couldn't see any wings but what does that prove? There's little on Earth like hot, fresh baked bread. And this wonderfulness delivered. Crunchy crust, fluffy center, delicate and buttery flavor... I am smitten. Note to self: go to Spring Creek Barbeque around dinner time on a Sunday evening to try and catch more of these fresh baked morsels from heaven. read more
