    Fatty brisket potato is so good and huge! I had the 1 meat chicken and I think it was the whole chicken so good for the price! They are super friendly.

    The Brisket House proves it can also have good sides; the smoked chicken, ribs and brisket here are every bit as wonderful as its baked potato salad and coleslaw at this Galleria-area restaurant. Read more

    Solid brisket, of course! Also consider getting the ribs & baked potato salad. I would skip the platters and go straight for X lbs of meat :)

    SEO Specialist Josh recommends the "sandwich that was served on a sweet jalapeno bun with brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and cole slaw. Best BBQ sandwich ever."

    Brisket has good texture, subtle/good smoke; but the magic is in the fat layer -- super yummy! Ribs are kinda salty, tender. Cole slaw is crunchy, fresh. Mac & cheese is average. Parking sucks.

    I am one of those people who avoid potato salad at all costs. HOWEVER, the baked potato salad here is unlike any I've had. It's mostly sour cream and chives; therefore it changed my perception forever

    Sausage and ribs are the best! Turkey and chicken are good too!

    Good meats, but sauce seems like it has too much acidity. Turkey is good quality, but kind of flavorless on its own. Sausage and brisket are great! Good low key atmosphere. Parking is hard sometimes.

    Only come here on a nice enough day to sit outside or you'll smell like a campfire for the rest of the day.

    Food is awesome as long as you don't mind smelling like a fire pit for the rest of the day.

    Good BBQ without too many distractions on the menu. Priced about the same as any other place. If you want to avoid Goode Co BBQ or other staples... Sausage is so so, brisket is great, ribs are ok.

    Who would have thought a whole pickle and a slab of cheese would go well with my brisket? Try it!

    Brisket good. Pulled pork bad. Guess I should have paid more attention to the restaurant name.
