    Food good Service good Ambiance good The barbecue here is pretty good. Portions are pretty good for the price. The cornbread was spongy baked beans were excellent. Ribs were perfect with flavor. Sausage were delicious. The brisket was OK. The mac & cheese needed flavor. If I was in the area again, I would come back.

    The 3 meat plate

    It was okay , not what I expected from a Texas bbq spot. Brisket was cold/luke warm service was ok but the blue eyed girl was intimidating lol. Location was cool looking but wish the food was a little better flavor wise also meat did not have a visible smoke ring fairly priced but definitely take that meat to flavor town and make sure it's nice and hot specially when the restaurant had just opened.

    Turkey and Bacon salad with BBQ sauce

    I have been coming to this Brisket House location for 7 years. It has always been consistently good, the service is friendly and it's clean. Today, I had the turkey and bacon salad with Italian dressing. The ingredients are always fresh, and it has quite a bit of turkey on it. If you're feeling more adventurous, try the PB&J sandwich, but I recommend cutting it into quarters. Otherwise, you're likely to make a mess like I did. Lol

    This is some of the best brisket in Houston. Maybe even the best. The price is a bit on the expensive side, but I don't think you will find better brisket for less. I ordered pound and a half. They gave me the more fatty brisket, which I'm fins with. I'm sure you could ask for lean if you want. It's $14 for a half pound. They gave me a bunch of pickles, onions, and bread to go with it. The sauce was ok, not my favorite. I would definitely check this place out if you enjoy bbq.

    Food was well prepared and delivered via Door dash. I have not been in the restaurant, but it looks like a nice place from the outside. Looking forward to eating there soon and ordering the same plate.

    Family style!

    This is an awesome place to eat bbq at. The brisket is great, just the right tenderness and fatty content. The bbq sauce is peppery and sweet just the way I like it. Cole slaw and potato salad are a must. The corn bread was unexpectedly awesome. Friendly service and staff. They typically take about 10-15min to bring out your food. Always busy and parking is small so be patient. It's worth it! Go with your colleagues, go with your friends or go with the family or just go by yourself but try this place!

    This place is extremely clean ! Fast service. Their food presentation is amazing and I can say it was just as good. The brisket was juicy and tender cooked to perfection. The turkey had a great smoked taste and the mild sausage was really good too. The one star missing is the sides because their mustard potato salad tasted like it's store bought and their Mac and cheese was mid too. Another thing, I like a lot of pickles and onions with my bbq and the portion that came with my plate was small. Overall the food was great ! Give this place a try!

    Me and my niece weren't staying too far from this restaurant so we decided to check it out while we were in Houston. When we walked in, we were never greeted or acknowledged so that was a bummer. The cashier and I just kind of stared at each other until I started ordering my food. We ended up ordering the 3 meat platter with brisket, turkey, and St. Louis style ribs, w sides of mac and cheese and green beans to share. That meat was the turkey and brisket were phenomenal. Seasoned well, smoky and tender, really just cooked to perfection. I can't lie, the ribs were pretty good. The Mac and cheese was not. It was pretty much velveeta and macaroni noodles. Nothing special. The green beans were good. Just needed some seasoning. We also ordered a banana pudding for dessert and it was also a 10 out of 10!

    Wow! Does NOT disappoint! I ordered catering for a work event based on the reviews. Everything was remarkable! Delivery arrived right on time. The brisket - hello, it's in the name. The brisket is good! We also had mild sausage, turkey, salad, mustard potato salad, mac & cheese, baked beans, baked potatoes, banana pudding and peach cobbler. The turkey is nice and moist. Potato salad was perfect, and the MAC & CHEEEEESE!!!! SO CREAMY! The baked beans have brisket in them. Yum! I want to finish off this review with the banana pudding. Yall. The banana pudding is obviously homemade. Sooooo velvety and yummy. Not too sweet, a little crunch from the wafers. Delish!

    Done! Great stuff!

Our server, Anne-Marie, was phenomenal! She was attentive without being overbearing, constantly checking on us, keeping our drinks refreshed, giving us wonderful recommendations, and even turning over our grill whenever she passed by our table. Her attention to detail and genuine hospitality really stood out and made our lunch experience even more enjoyable. From our server to the bussers and even the host, everyone was friendly, attentive, and professional. You can truly tell that the staff cares about creating a great experience for their guests. This was our first time dining at Yama Kitchen, but it definitely will NOT be our last! I'm already hoping we get Anne-Marie as our server again because she was amazing. We truly enjoyed our meal and had such a great time. Highly recommend!

The music was playing hits back to back and if its your birthday they have pikachu come out with "bottle service vibes" lol. Food: 5/10 Would not come back again for this. They do have a buffet station with a decent selection. They had mixed seafood (crawfish, muscles, and shrimp), a few soup options, lots of fried foods, and salads. They don't have a big variety of meat selections compared to other KBBQ spots. We did try most of the meats and they all tasted just about the same, it was nothing really special. The sashimi was okay, it came out a bit warmer than what I expected. Overall I would rate this place a 6.5/10. **Note: my brother did say the food here destroyed his stomach!

    It is rare that I award five stars. In this case, I'm awarding six! ;-)…read more SmokeAholics is a La Porte-based food truck that's been in business for about a year. Their specialty is barbecue, and they do it extremely well. I first had the pleasure of sampling their goods at an event (from their food truck); and they recently catered an event that I attended. Outstanding both times! This mom & pop business relies on post oak to smoke their succulent fall-apart brisket, sausage, boudin and beans, and they have the time and temperature down to a science (their slogan is "It's 225 degrees somewhere.") For folks who are versed in the art and science of smoking meats (and beans in this case), 225F is the holy grail of temperatures. That the pit master (Charlie Spencer) can manage it in the rear of a trailer is quite amazing! So many people can bring smoky flavor to a trimmed brisket, but it ends up being dry. Charlie though... Oh my! He somehow manages to produce an outstanding smoky bark with nary an ounce of fat -- yet it melts in your mouth. Barbecue sauce is available, but don't bother. His brisket deserves to shine on its own. So too do the sides. Charlie's wife, Carla Spencer, is in charge of producing most of the delicious accoutrements, which are meals themselves. Her homemade mac & cheese gets there for the cash on its own. But when it's fried and placed atop fries ... Eureka! Her 'Momma's Crackers' are tangy and spicy enough to make one want to slap their pappy! And yes, I want some. -- Perhaps one of the more creative sides is Charlies "Apple Pie Baked Beans," which are available through the catering menu. It's a hybrid of apple pie, breakfast sausage and post oak-smoked beans. Not only is it out-of-the-box, it's damn delicious! These folks offer their wonderful food in La Porte (check the address), but they also cater all over. Just as important, in my humble opinion, Charlie and Carla give back to the community in a huge way. Sure, they are the kind of folks you'd invite to your home because they're just nice. But they do so much more in mentoring local youngsters and volunteering their time (and services) to make the day a little brighter -- and tastier -- for cancer survivors. It's really cool when I am able to recommend a business that is superb at what it does and just as outstanding when it comes to giving back. SmokeAholics is one of those businesses.

    I have never ever been so disappointed with Monument Inn than I was yesterday and let me tell you…read morewhy. But first the good stuff: our server was fantastic. The Snack Attack appy was good. Friend said his Baked Stuffed Shrimp was good. I had the Mahi Mahi with the Pontchartain sauce. The fish was dry. The sauce was bland and seemed like the recipe was not yet finished. I didn't eat much, asked for a to go bag as I LOVE leftovers, but frankly it was not good enough to take home. The veggies were good but who takes home only the veggies without the main course? We were a party of two and were given one roll though we had two cinnamon rolls which were also good. I ordered a Lemon Drop Martini and it arrived less than half full. I have never received a half a glass Lemon Drop martini. I noticed others ordering the Lemon Drop martinis an all had a full martini glass. Since I had only 1/2 of a martini, I ordered another with the request of a full glass martini. The other glass was a little bit more filled than the first one. Really odd and the taste was not worth the effort of ordering. I noticed the Lemon Drop Martini came with a surcharge. Meaning I was billed for the martini and then another misc charge. I have never been charged a surcharge for a Lemon Drop martini. The menu does not say there is a surcharge. Charge what you are going to charge on one line, in total, like everyone else does OR explain yourself and teach the 20 year old server the answer so she is aware and can share with her customers. So I asked for the manager. Cameron huffed on over like he was in a super bad mood and serving up a huge dose of bad attitude unbecoming of a restaurant manager. Cameron came over all loaded for bear and went to the wrong table. . Funniest thing ever and I wish I had that on video. I politely inquired about the surcharge for the Lemon Drop martini and was told "that's the way it's been for 8 years and we are not going to change it for you." Apparently when you order the menu item of a Lemon Drop martini you are charged for a shot PLUS the up charge of placing the shot into a martini glass. None of this is explained on the menu. Perhaps state that when ordered because I don't work for Monument Inn and am not privvy to this special wackadoodle way of charging their customers for a martini listed on the menu. Then to be almost attacked as Cameron was apparently perturbed that a paying customer had the audacity to question about this insane way of pricing. I had enough of his belligerent and argumentative behavior because Cameron was doubling down with his less than stellar attitude. As such, I told Cameron he was about the rudest person I have encountered in this service industry and dismissed him. No customer deserves that kind of treatment. Thank Cameron's inappropriate interaction for the one star which Yelp forces us to give. Otherwise I'd not given a star at all. Cameron's nastiness ruined the entire experience. Well that and the overcooked fish with the lackluster Pontchartain sauce. Stick to their fried food menu items which is where this place shines. Oh and don't order the Lemon Drop martini.
