This place had all the hallmarks of great bbq. Shack in a formerly small town. Check. Great name. Check. Simple presentation. Check. Friendly staff. Check. Maybe it was an off day. The bbq was ok. The sides were honestly disappointing. The beans were the biggest let down. Cool ambiance. read more

Yo Mama's Pit Bbq - Barbeque Near Me - Montgomery, Texas

Why 4 stars? Because the value was good but the quality was just okay. --- --- --- I've wanted to check this place out for a while now and it finally worked out when we were heading over to my in-laws for the day who live nearby. Since we had 4 people eating and I wanted to try a bunch of things, I went a little crazy on the order. I went with a pound of sausage, a pound of brisket, a pound of pulled pork and a rack of ribs. I also ordered baked beans, mashed potatoes and green beans as sides. I could have ordered half of that and still had leftovers. Nothing necessarily stood out as great. The green beans were pretty subpar - they tasted like they were straight out of a can. The baked beans were unimpressive. I think everything else ranged from decent to pretty tasty. But the best thing about this place was that a mountain of food was had for $102. We all could have eaten at least two full meals from this amount of food. Would it have been much more delicious if it had come from Killen's? Absolutely. It also would have cost twice as much. This is an incredibly small and humble operation, so I was glad to support them. If you're looking for bang for you buck in Montgomery, this is a good choice. read more

This is a Great BBQ place. My wife and I shared a 3 meat plate and everything was extremely delicious and tasty. The portions were very good, they don't skimp on the meat . Brisket was very moist , tender and delicious. The sausage and ribs were very good as well , ribs were tender and had good taste. I am definitely going to be back . read more

My fiance and I love supporting small businesses! We decided to try here, we spent $37 on 3 "loaded brisket potatoes" and we received it with a skimp amount of meat, one spoon full of sour scream it seemed and barely any sauce. Very disappointed read more

Great staff and amazing food can't get anything better in the area!!! Keep up the good work!

Man I hate to write this but I really have to. After my rave review a while back and another visit or two, I have to admit that I'll never be back. The food is delicious, the people who run it are great, but this place is just filthy. I can't get past it. The dining room probably hasn't been cleaned in 10 years...or ever. You can't see out of the windows they're so filthy and the door jambs are black from handprints that would come off with a splash of Windex. You know what they say - if it looks like this out in the dining room where everyone can see it, you don't want to know what it looks like in the kitchen. I have no idea if that's true and I certainly have never had any food that tasted less than delicious, but if you can't wash your windows or sweep the floor, maybe you shouldn't own a restaurant. read more

I was excited to try this barbecue restaurant due to the high ratings online. The barbecue was good but not as good as I expected it to be. They had good pork ribs and brisket, but the sausage was dry and not very flavorful. I wasn't particularly that impressed with the flavor of side items (potato salad and beans) that came with the meal. Overall, the meats were good and the staff was very helpful and friendly. read more

BEST BRISKET!!! Amazing accommodating service. You can call ahead to order a brisket or whatever and the prices can't be beat. Cutest little cottage building. Support small businesses. Absolutely worth it!! read more

My husband and I are always looking for locally owned businesses to support. We stopped in for some BBQ and we're blown away by the quality and tenderness of the BBQ! We're pretty picky about our BBQ, but we were very impressed with our food! The cobbler was to die for and everyone was very friendly! It's nothing fancy, but the food was incredible and we enjoyed visiting with the owner. What an awesome little find! read more

We decided that instead of cabbage we needed ribs to add to our bounty. Dano went over and picked up a rack of pork ribs to add to our New Year's festivities. read more

food and service very good. portions are very good. ambiance is rustic but clean. have been buying their BBQ for several years.

Bottom line: Ribs, Brisket and Lemon Pie are very good Funny story... Knowing I was about to head to Texas for a quick work event, I wanted some BBQ and I figured I'd get that done before the work event started. Using Yelp, I searched for BBQ not far from our event. I chose Yo Mama's. But I needed to hedge my bet a bit so I called them yesterday before I left Colorado to quiz them a bit about their Q and confirm their hours for today. I spoke to Kelvin by phone. He was fun. Told him what I was looking for and he said "C'mon!". His version of "Bring it on" :) Me and 6 friends showed up and ate everything on the menu pretty much. I felt the pork ribs were the star. Tender and flavorful. The brisket was next in my book. Thick sliced and super tender. The sausage came in 3rd for me. A bit chewy at the end of the day. Would like to try them earlier in the day. In fact, Kelvin told me to come by tomorrow and he'd have some jalapeno sausage for me to try. Kelvin gave me a tour of the smokehouse. Had about a 6' long stick burner in there with a couple slabs of spares on it and a brisket. Later, he cut off a couple of ribs and brought them out to me to try. I shared one with a friend. These ribs were done to about competition doneness. Cooked but with a bit of a chew for mouth feel. And SO flavorful as the rub was still very evident. My friend really enjoyed it too. When we were done eating, someone asked what "burnt ends" are. Kelvin said "hold on". He went and got us a plate of them. Oh my gosh! So good! Then when we were really done, Calvin brought out 1/2 slices of their homemade Lemon Creme Pie. Once again, OMG! A thin flaky crust. A creamy lemony pie filling. So good. Great meal. read more

I have only myself to blame. I read plenty of reviews that had me leaning away from this place, yet I went along with my husband and settled for this place. And settled is the correct word. There were plenty of obvious signs as soon as we pulled up. It was about 6.10pm on Friday night and they close at 7. Getting the remaining/left over bbq from the entire day was the first mistake. Our old tough and cold bbq is proof enough to anyone that this should always be your first consideration when going to a bbq place. This is definitely not a place you want to sit down and dine in. they had one table, one bigger sized table, but everything else was crowded around it. Even if we had wanted to eat there in the first place, we would have changed our minds. Some folks did say hello to us when we entered, but I would not use the friendly in this statement. Not that they couldnt have been friendly, in the beginning of their day, but at this point in the early evening, they were just flat out tired, and it showed. We hung in there and still ordered food. Prices were modest, not a steak house, but not taco bell. we made the first mistake our ordering the beef 'moist' like we do at Rudys. NO NO... moist here just meant it floated in a small pool of bbq sauce in the bottom of our plates. I ordered 3 different meats, chicken beef and ribs. passed 100% on the chicken because it was not a shade of dark meat that I thought wise to ingest. The sliced beef was so dry, despite the sauce, that I ripped it for the dog. its still on his plate. The rib, singular, was good, the first one I had. the other rib, the second rib, was so overcooked that there was not any meat left to eat. It was just burnt barbq sauce at this point. I looked at my husband and he kept his head down and didn't say a word, just spooned in the yellow mush otherwise known as potato salad. The beans were good. read more

My usual rule is: if you don't see a line at a barbecue joint, there's probably a reason. There was no line here at all, a little after 6:00 p.m. They said they're about to close early. Should have taken that as a sign. The big sign out front says "Need no teeth eat my beef!" And it's true. The brisket was super tender--fell apart when just touched lightly with a fork. The smoked sausage was pretty good as well. So why 3 stars? The sides were blah, and the peach cobbler just awful. I guess it's okay if you stick with just meat, but I'm pretty sure you can do better in the neighborhood. read more

This is the best bbq in the Montgomery Lake Conroe area. We ate here recently for the first time after living in this area for almost 20 years. Not only is the bbq amazing but they are locals. The service is amazing and they are the kindest people in Montgomery. read more

Best BBQ ribs I have ever eaten! An unassuming "hole in the wall", but oh my goodness... the food!! Delicious! The inside isn't much to write home about, although it is oddly charming in its own right. You have to try their ribs. You won't regret it! I called to place a To-go order and had to call 4 times before they answered, so don't give up. It's worth it. They'll answer. ;) read more

I am a snob when it comes to bbq. Very picky, and will send food back in a heart beat! I never fear that at Yo Momas. My favorite is burnt ends of course but the brisket is tender, juicy and spiced just right. The smoke isn't over powering either. Recently there has been a few additions to the menu that just makes this quaint little corner in Montgomery a bbq haven. The owner/q-master, Calvin will make sure your happy with your order... read more

Ordered some meats to go and it was awesome. The cost was about $100 and so worth every penny. We had way more than necessary for our little gathering so we had plenty of leftovers to enjoy over several meals. Would definitely order again. read more

We love finding funky local places to try and this was a winner! Friendly people, brisket that was amazingly tender and flavorful. Loved the potato salad and usually don't like anyone's but my own mammas! Small inside seems like mainly take out but we sat at a long table with a couple other folks and had a nice chat. Authentic BBQ, highly recommend. read more

I was disappointed overall. It was not the long wait that bothered me, but rather the quality of food. Not only did the brisket come drowned in sauce but the chicken we bought was terribly dry. despite all this however, the brisket was decent. would not go again unless I heard that it had changed drastically. read more

Even better than last weekend! We had a party of 9 family members coming to see "the new home", but the Formal Living Room isn't set up yet.. Hubs went for BBQ because those we took the weekend before just loved it...We ordered Moist Brisket, Chopped Brisket, Sausage, Potato Salad, Beans and fixins. That BBQ is some of the best ever and it isn't near $21 a pound either.. For the order my hubs called in and picked was $83.00 for 9 people with leftovers...I finally got to try the beans my sister said were amazing, but didn't offer any the weekend before She was right, but I love that sauce, soon to be sold in jars!! As good as this BBQ is, I would have served it in a Formal Dining Room if set up..Try it for yourself, but just remember there is not a lot of seating at all. The owner is a sweet, very customer oriented person.. read more

Top notch BBQ!! Never misses the mark with my family! Don't forget to sample their many sauces.

Not bad...just needs to be revamped. Great location, just not a lot of real estate to sit and eat

Food is not good. The wait was long and the food was warmed up and old tasting. The sauce options and potato salad was good.

I just ate a sliced brisket sandwich and it is by far the best sandwich I have had in my life. It has a perfect snap it of very good home made BBQ sauce and the meat just falls apart in your mouth. Great customer service as well. 10/10 recommend!!! Perfect strop on the motorcycle! read more

And I will definitely be going back!! read more

I'd rate this place 10 stars if I could. Definitely order the brisket with slaw and save room their cobbler! Some of the best BBQ I've had in a long time. Also very nice gentleman working who was very delighted to serve us. Will be back. read more

Ok this place is the "Real Deal"! Small and cozy. Food was outstanding! My sandwich was incredible. Meat was as tender as can be. Sauce was fantastic! I just wish i lived closer! I might have to make special trips back up to Magnolia....... read more

I've had great BBQ and I've had not so great. This definitely ranks in the latter. Maybe this was an off day; while it was raining, it was also during the Montgomery antique festival. I'm certain the sides of potato salad & beans came straight from the grocery store, and from a can and a plastic carton. The ribs were okay and tender, but the brisket was tough and had clearly been warmed in the microwave. When we arrived at 1 pm, there wasn't another customer in the place. We chose the table away from the TV, and then discovered a dirty flyswatter lying on the table. read more

The hamburger was about the same quality as McDonald's hamburger, but not as flat. Friend had brisket, sausage and rib plate. He said it tasted like a microwave meal. No flavor except for the bbq sauce. Beans were the same. Best tasting thing was the pickles. The peach cobbler was even gross. Undercooked and not sure where the peaches came from. Waited 50 minutes to find out his order was given to someone else. Asked for ketchup and mustard and took another ten minutes. The food is as bad as the place looks and smells when you walk in. $14 for the chicken plate and a Walmart bottle of water. Don't eat here! read more

We ordered a chopped beef bbq sandwich, tater salad and sweet iced tea. Their dining space was really small and they do have a decent patio size, to bring the kids and dogs. Everything was really good, like their motto is stated outside the bbq joint "Need no teeth, to eat my beef" and a great mom and pop bbq place to go to, as well. read more

Just tried this place for lunch today. My wife and I are on a keto diet right now, so I ordered two pounds of brisket with no sides to feed us today and tomorrow. I asked for point, not flat, and the girl at the counter looked at me like I was speaking Mandarin. Seemed a red flag that the person working a Texas BBQ joint was ignorant of those words, but the reviews were good, so I just took what I was given. Service was slow, with it taking over 10 minutes to get my very simple order, even though I was the only person in the place. What I was given was untrimmed flat, with essentially no bark, and no point (deckle) to be found, with an absurd amount of fat. Even with the fat layer, the brisket was pretty dry, as if it had been sliced long ago instead of at time of order. At least the fat was rendered. My wife and I were filled, but not necessarily satisfied. We'll try this place again sometime soon, and update this review. Hopefully this was just an off-day. read more
