When it's not outside, it's a great place to have a desert by the lake and enjoy the view for a moment.

Bar-A-BBQ earns its spot on the "Top 50 Texas Monthly BBQ" list. The moment we walked in, the staff…read morewas incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, happy to discuss barbecue craft and recommendations. Their expertise and passion were evident, which made the experience even better. The brisket was excellent--very moist with a great bark, good flavor, and a satisfying pull. But if you only get one thing, make it the brisket burnt ends. They were absolutely awesome and I highly recommend them. The ribs were a bit too hammy for my personal taste, but that's a preference issue, as I prefer baby back ribs over the spare ribs they served. I tried two of their house-made sausages. The standard house sausage was pretty good, but the jalapeño and cheddar version was even better, adding a great kick of cheese and spice to their basic recipe. The sides were just as impressive as the meat. The dirty rice had some spice and was elevated with delicious shredded brisket mixed in. The cheesy tater casserole was fantastic--very cheesy with a nice peppery flavor and a great texture from the potatoes. For dessert, the cornbread bread pudding was an excellent choice. It was a gooey, decadent dessert with a perfect balance of cornbread and chocolate chips. We also grabbed a tallow chocolate chip cookie to go, saving it to savor later. Overall, this place is the real deal. From the knowledgeable staff to the top-tier brisket and sides, it's clear why they're so highly acclaimed. Very affordable as well!

We chose BAR A barbecue after carefully looking for what we hoped would be the BEST in the Houston…read morearea. We saw some great options ( Truth, Triple J, Killen's, and Brisket & Rice were all in the running, and we didn't try any of those so can't say on them). This was a thought out choice and I was super excited to try them! Being a family run operation was really awesome to me as well. First the good to great: the staff was super nice and helpful. The brisket was ah-mazing. Not too Smokey but cooked very tender and delicious! The barbecue sauce was on point. Sauces tend to range from too thin to too thick, too sweet to too spicy but Bar A's hit the bulls eye! Not too thin, not too sweet...I really enjoyed the brisket! Walking up, the smells were incredible! A nice outdoor spot to eat (it was a very mild day and just beautiful out..but I digress). Also, the Mac and Cheese...oh my!! Some of the best I've ever had! The downside: We drove an hour and a half especially to eat here...it was our primary reason for heading up to Montgomery! Getting there around 3pm, you would figure is a sweet spot for a restaurant open from like 11-6 on a Friday. When we went to order as we're trying to figure out the plate we want, you know, 2 meats or 3 meats ...sides, yum, as you're drooling, we were going for the TRINITY Plate. Brisket, rib and sausage...a nice cross section. Nope, we can't do a TRINITY. we only have brisket and turkey left. I know a lot of people love turkey. I'm not one of them and my heart was set on Beef. So now we're on a 1 meat and two sides track I guess. Ok, can we do brisket on the one meat? "Sure I can do that" was the cheery reply. So we got two plates brisket, and I asked could you make that moist cut brisket (my favorite, while my wife always prefers the lean). "Nope, sorry, we're all out of moist brisket". Ok, so one plate with cheesy potato casserole (doesn't that just sound amazing?) and Mac & cheese and one plate With cheesy potato casserole and pinto beans, that way we can get more great tastes and share, right? Oh, and bread, pickles, onions and jalapeños. (The bread is Martins and is always amazing if you know what I'm talking about...I think it's potato roll bread?). Got our plates and start to pay...two $20 plates and no drinks, just water. Over $50! Hmmm, well, the one meat tray with brisket has a $4 up charge. Hmmm. Sat down and got to chowing down! Here's where disappointment sets in. As I said, brisket and sauce was on point. The onions are maybe slightly pickled, not sure, but also very good. The meat, was 3 slices of brisket...4 would have been a sweet spot but eh, 3. The sides. Cheesy potato casserole had the texture of rice...I kept thinking it was rice as I ate it. It had some spice to it but very little flavor. Very disappointing. Mac & cheese--ah-mazing! Pinto beans were like a salt-a-holics take on ranch style beans. Not good. Almost not edible. But I was hungry. I put some sauce on the potato casserole and made it taste ok...still couldn't get Over the rice texture (I'm not saying it had rice, but just had the texture of a rice pilaf ). Two pieces of great bread rounded it out! So overall, disappointed that there wasn't more to choose (ribs, moist brisket, sausage) and I get it, They make so much and sell out then that's good business for them. To the customer who drove and hour and a half to eat there, not so good business. The sides were 1 for 3 in the good to great category and worst of all, after spending $50+ on lunch for 2, I was still hungry. I wouldn't have expected that for sure. I couldn't decide between 3 or 4 star but my missing stars shake out like this: 1 went because of availability and then ultimately being up charged for what was left. And 1 went for disappointing 2 out of 3 sides and portion size/value. Sorry, we didn't take any photos of the food.

Why 3 stars? Because I sadly didn't love it…read more --- --- --- I've wanted to try this place for a while, but a few months back, I would call several times to confirm that they were open, but no one would answer the phone. On this occasion, I was at another business in the same parking lot and was able to walk over and see that they were open. I ordered a cold brew and a nutella pastry, but I was pretty unimpressed by both. The cold brew's beans were very sharp (Starbucks-esque), I would say. And the pastry that the woman told me was hazelnut based, just seemed to be kind of a stale baked good with a bunch of nutella piled in the middle. I hate to be negative about a small business, but I'm just being honest that I probably would not return again. Maybe if you're a fan of heavily flavored coffees, this might be the place for you, as I saw they had a lot of options on that front. But for me, I'm rounding up to 3-stars because this is a very small business with friendly people working here.

Stopped by today for the first time. It is a nice little place. They have tables in and outside, as…read morewell as a little area with sofa chairs, board games, and some books. That side of the business was a little disorganized for my taste, but maybe that's the look they are going for. Something carefree and homey. They didn't have a big variety of pastries, but it was really good to know that some, if not all, are baked there. We had a cinnamon swirl muffin along with lemon pound cake. They were both amazing. The muffin was fresh out if the oven, that doesn't happen in many places. As for the coffees, I had an iced pumpkin spice. I liked that it was a smooth taste and not overpowering. I hate when they taste like you are drinking a pumpkin pie. It seemed a little watered down. Perhaps the coffee was not as strong, not sure. Overall, I think it could've been better. Loved the friendly service. That alone will have me coming back to try something else. After all, we are in the area every Thursday morning, I rather support a local coffee shop instead of Starbucks.

Why 4 stars? Because the BBQ chicken pizza hit the spot…read more --- --- --- After quickly becoming a fan of Wiches on Wheels before they temporarily shut things down, I was excited to try Dizzy Pies, which is under the same ownership. I went with the Fayrweather Byrd (BBQ Chicken) and the Southbound, which is like a Tex-Mex pizza - headlined by beef fajita meat. I thought the fayrweather byrd was pretty ideal. I ordered mine without jalapenos because my wife and I are really wusses when it comes to spicy food. My wife tried one bite of one slice and I ate the rest of the entire pizza by myself. Not because I was still hungry by the end, but because it was so delicious. And to make matters worse for my appetite, I also ate more than half of the Southbound, making it 13 slices in one sitting for me. I didn't have to include these embarrassing details in my review, but here I am, outing myself. I thought the southbound was fine, but would probably go for something else on the menu next time. Lastly, we finished with a mother fudger brownie. When I ordered it (to-go), he asked if we wanted everything on top: ice cream, whip cream, etc. I said yes, because I assumed it would be kept separate. But unfortunately, it was all packed into one box, so by the time I got home, it was virtually all melted. Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious, but I'd probably only order this if you plan on eating it as soon as it's made. I will definitely check out Dizzy Pies again, as it's a very solid option in the neighborhood.

We had such a lovely dinner under the shaded canopy of the trees, and the weather was perfect for…read morean evening outside! The kids loved running around on the turf, and the pizza and desserts were delicious! We hear they make a mean burger on Saturday, so we will have to come back and try it out!
