    Soooo good! Sweet and savory. Loved the ribs, bacon, coleslaw, and their special poblano, mac & cheese. It's constantly busy, but we didn't have any problem finding a table because people are coming and going frequently. They have daily specials. Don't leave without trying their amazing chocolate truffles! So many to choose from that have either dark, white or milk chocolate with a variety of combinations. Gourmet, sodas and fresh iced tea. Great Texas vibe with a twist.

    I think my expectations were just too high coming here, but this is still a very solid BBQ spot. This place had been on my BBQ bookmark list after it appeared on the Texas Monthly top spots list years ago, but never made it out here until now given it was so far from me in Tomball. I finally decided to spend a Saturday out here in old town Tomball, so made it a point to stop by. Line wasn't too bad the day I was there, although most of the seats were full during peak time on a Saturday. Brisket and beef rib were good - both well cooked and tender, although the smoke intensity and flavor could have been upped. Tasted better with the sauce. Overall B+/A-, which in Houston is very good considering the competition. Don't sleep on their chocolates - I bought a whole bunch on the way out, and they were all unique and delicious! Everyone who works there was incredibly friendly. All in all, a solid BBQ spot, and highly recommend checking it out if you are ever in Tomball.

    Came here before opening and there was a short line. I only had to wait about 10 minutes until it was my turn. I ordered the Carrot Souffle, Brisket, Beef Rib (Sunday Special), and pork belly burnt ends. Everything was delicious! You can get the pickled veggies after you order. The staff were super friendly and were constantly checking in on me during my meal. Definitely one of my favorite BBQ spots while visiting Houston!

    My affection for Tejas goes back many years now as evidenced by my previous reviews. Last weekend was my first visit in several years and that's the reason for my 3 star review. At one time, I thought of this as a 5 star experience. Tejas still retains its folksy atmosphere and is delightful to visit. Parking spaces are numerous in the lot across the street. The food still tastes pretty good too. However these prices have gotten ridiculous. Brisket here sells for $39 a pound. Yes I realize beef prices are very high and that part isn't their fault but then I know several other bbq eateries where it costs less. The side dishes are $5 each and not that large in content. Also since they don't offer combo's your bill can rise quickly. Another example I noticed is that a 1/2 chicken now costs $13.50. That would be $27 for a whole bird! Beef is very expensive but chicken shouldn't be that much. My meal of the half chicken, 2 sides and a soft drink with tax was almost $30. And then they ask for a tip at the counter where you order your food which is the business asking you to help pay their employees more $. Of course that is your decision. Yes the food is good tasting but overpriced due to reputation. However Tejas has become to expensive for me and that is why it has been at least 5 years since my last visit. I can go to Brisket House (for example) and get the same meal and save about $9. The good news is that they now stay open for dinner and that carrot soufflé side dish is still outstanding. It really is more like a dessert. I think I could just dine on that alone and be happy.

    Super cute BBQ and chocolate shop in Old Town Tomball. The young lady helping me told me that this was the oldest house left in Tomball and they are using it quite well serving some unique barbecue items like chorizo smoked sausage with cheese links among the usual items found in a barbecue joint. Placed was jam-packed on a beautiful Friday, but everything moved quickly and efficiently and I didn't have to stand in line which is amazing in today's barbecue world. Naturally, as we have come to expect eating barbecue, it was expensive, but I really can't blame them for that since I know how much meat cost nowadays.

    Three years later and it's just as good as my memory remembered" Ever since I first had a taste of their burnt brisket ends, they've lived rent-free in my mind. I finally made it back after three years, and I'm happy to say the food is every bit as amazing as I remembered. The meat melts in your mouth. The BBQ here is so flavorful it doesn't even need sauce, and coming from someone who puts BBQ sauce on just about everything, that's saying a lot. Honestly, this place is better than your favorite BBQ spot. Think of it as the BBQ your favorite BBQ joint gets inspiration from (whether they realize it or not). We arrived around 11:30 on a Saturday, and the crowd wasn't too bad. The line moved quickly, and before we knew it, we were seated and diving into some of the best BBQ around. Watching my friend take his first bite made me smile. I could practically see the neurons firing as a grin spread across his face without him even realizing it. Then he made a comment about comparing this BBQ to his father's BBQ... let's just say I'm taking that one to the grave. The fact that food can be so good it sparks realizations about what you truly like (and maybe what you don't) says everything about the power of a great meal. Add in good company, open conversation, and Tejas BBQ... and you've got an experience worth remembering. I digress, Tejas you guys are doing a stellar job and I wall be back.

    The Yelp listing might call this establishment "Tejas Chocolate Craftory", but it's also a local BBQ restaurant. My friend's family is picky when it comes to eating out after years of being apart of the restaurant business, but they love Tejas. You can smell the fresh and aromatic smokiness of meats even before you enter the restaurant (looks kind of like a ranch/cabin on the outside, and more like a chocolate store than BBQ, but trust me they do BBQ well). I'm not the biggest fan of Texas BBQ and don't necessarily look forward to it, but let me tell you, I wolfed down my lunch and ATE this past Sunday. The meats and sides were incredible. I was smiling after every bite. I genuinely wish I had a bigger appetite and stomach. BRISKET (1/2 POUND) - 19.50 We got a mix of lean and moist brisket. Even the lean was nice and tender, and I enjoyed eating it alongside with the moist brisket (which is fatty and juicy on its own). The BBQ adds more depth of flavor. I would recommend getting the brisket -- it's smoked very well. SAUSAGE: CHILE RELLENO - 10.50 The mix of the pepper and cheese was phenomenal, and each piece had me yearning for more because of how flavorful it was. Lowkey, this might have been my favorite because of how tasty it was. I think I ate like half of the sausage even though it was meant to be shared among 4 people. I would not skip out on this! PORK RIBS (1/2 RACK) - 18.50 This was so good. The meat was tender and fell off the bone easily. I only ate one rib, but my friend ate three because she loved it so much. It's flavorful and a reliable option if you're not sure what to get. BARBECUE SANDWICH: PULLED PORK - 13.50 They also gave us four slices of bread that we enjoyed some of the pulled pork with, where a whopping amount of the meat sat on a top bun and bottom bun. I enjoyed some of the pulled pork on the top bun and it was chef's kiss. The bun was perfect toasted, with a nice crunch upon the first bite before a chewy, fluffy texture. The pulled pork was delicious, and the BBQ sauce did wonders. CARROT SOUFFLE - 5.00 This was phenomenal. The texture was soft and the souffle not too sweet. This is not a side I often see in BBQ restaurants, and it's what my friend and her family raved about. It truly is good, and I wish we ordered more than just one side of carrot souffle. CORNBREAD CASSEROLE - 5.50 This was good, but probably my least favorite compared to everything else. It's not actually cornbread, but more of a baked egg casserole with some cornbread topping for a crust. This was more than enough food for the four of us, and I'm surprised we finished. It's not a cheap meal, but we enjoyed plenty of meat and some amazing sides. I highly recommend giving Tejas a try if you're in Tomball or somewhere close by. Don't sleep on that carrot souffle!!! You can buy a whole tray for 40-something dollars, which would be a great party item. It was probably the best sweet thing I've eaten for a long time.

    Was in the area and saw there wasn't a huge line outside, so decided to finally knock this spot off the list. A moderate line inside moved quickly enough, all in all probably waited 20min total. We went ahead and did the full shebang - BBQ and chocolate. BBQ was certainly delicious, I thought their brisket was very flavorful and perfectly juicy vs char balanced. Their jalapeno cheese sausage was out of this world good and their potato salad was perfect. On the desserts front, I wasn't as taken with the chocolates as I would have expected, but I did appreciate that they were good. They have a ton of flavors, but on some it was tough to recognize the flavor over the base chocolate. Parking - street/lots around old town Tomball

    Cute and slightly hidden gem, very clean and polished to make it look homey, service was fast and polite, food was amazing me and my family loved all of it. The sausage OMG AMAZING!

    We had lunch here today. I haven't been here in a while, but it didn't seem as crowded as it used to be. The food was good, but not the best I've had, and it seemed VERY expensive. I had 1/2 lb of brisket for $19.65, potato salad for $5.01, and a drink for ~$3.07. My wife had a chopped beef sandwich for $16.56 and a drink. The total came to $47.36. Tax added $3.91 to make it $51.27, then they apparently added a 15% "Service Fee", or $7.10 for a total of 58.27. I'm not sure what the Service Fee was, as there is no table service. I stood at the counter to order my meal. All in all, I don't like surprise service fees. I did not see a detail of the bill until after I had entered my credit card and asked for a printed receipt. It's also sad, because I almost always tip 20 to 25% - when it's my idea...

    I feel like chocolatier and bbq joint evoke 2 very different images in my head and that's what makes this place so cool. Actually that, and the reason we were brought here - the carrot soufflé. We came at a bit of a late lunch hour but even though tejas has a rep for being good, there was no line, no wait, just a super nice restaurant with a lot of character with plenty of seating. The meat was all melt in your mouth, meaning it was A LOT and i was full within a couple of bites but they have lots of pickled veggies to bump up the acidity and make it all go down smooth. My favorite actually might have been the chile rellano sausage. And of course the carrot souffle which was so so good. Like i didn't know carrot could do that.

    Great bbq, good chocolates, nice staff, reasonable prices. What's not to love?! Here in Texas, have to try the bbq. Looked up locations, and found a bbq pit with chocolate. So had to make the trek to this place to try them. Walked in and there was a chocolate display on the left and the bbq on the right. The server was very friendly and helped us through the menu. We got a good mix of meats to try. Brisket, sausage, burnt ends, ribs, and some Cole slaw and their carrot soufflé. Food came out rapidly, we got our seat and dug in. The north doesn't have bbq this good. We have spots, but they all tend to lean on Kansas City or the Carolina's. So you get thin vinegar sauces. This was dry rubbed, thick smoke and tender as heck bbq. The bbq had a nice spice to it, and everything was delicious. A special call out to the carrot soufflé, it was like a less sugary sweet potato pie, silky and very carrot forward. It was a great reprieve from the richness of the meat and a solid bite of food on its own. We did see a lot of locals opting for the baked potato, which was massive. One could easily feed the mightiest of appetites or a couple of regular folk. The chocolates were also three bite monsters. Sweet, good quality chocolate with ample fillings and decently priced. This is quite possibly the quintessential bbq joint, or at least will be my standard going forward. It's good food done well, good people, and they got dessert ready for you on the way out. Worth the trek

    Ask the Community - Tejas Chocolate Craftory

    Are they good for dinner?

    If they sell out they close so I would suggest trying to go for lunch.

    How many servings are in a pan of carrot souffle?

    How are weekdays for lunch ? I would like to try and was wondering the best time to go

    They open at 11 get there 20 minutes before as there's always a line at opening and lunch time it could be a while before you get your food

    Is there a separate line for chocolate?

    Of course!

    What time do they usually sell out during the week? Can't make it during lunch hours

    Yeah, depends on the day. The pastrami on Thursdays usually goes pretty quick. I know they sometimes post their sellouts on their Instagram feed...

    What time do they normally sell out on saturday?

    3 pm or sometimes 4. If you go at 1/130 there's usually a very short line !

    I had not been to Goodson's in years--well over a decade at least. So when both my wife and…read moremother-in-law suggested we stop in for lunch, I didn't hesitate. We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes. They were good, but not quite enough to dethrone our longtime appetizer champion: Pecos' fried pickle chips. The prices were reasonable, so I decided to go full-bore and order the "Cowboy" Chicken Fried Steak, which was only a few dollars more than the "Cowgirl" version. Mom chose the Chicken Fried Chicken, while my wife went with the Pot Roast. When our food arrived, I was genuinely taken aback. My chicken fried steak was larger than the plate it was served on--seriously, it was that big. The side dishes were equally generous. After bringing the leftovers home, I managed to get two more meals and a sandwich out of that steak. Likewise, both of my ladies left with take-home boxes, and that NEVER happens with Mom. She typically treats these lunch outings as her main meal of the day, but even she waved the white flag. So why not a five-star review? The answer comes down to flavor. While the portions were enormous, the service was excellent, and the prices were more than fair, the seasoning seemed a little timid. Across the board, the food could have used a bit more punch and personality. Nothing was bad--it just never quite crossed into memorable territory. That said, I would absolutely recommend Goodson's, especially if you have family or friends visiting from out of state. It showcases two classic Texas traits: HUGE portions and good value. As for the mild seasoning? If your guests are from up North, they'll probably feel right at home.

    Update: still good as usual. Had not tried it for a couple years but we were in the neighborhoodread more
