We were so excited to try this place now it's in a new permanent location, and would be open to giving it a go again with some improvements to the food. I liked the order online option, but not all of the options were available (e.g. sausage was still in stock but couldn't add to the 2 meat meal) so perhaps some adjustments as this place gets on its feet. It was easy to find, just double check Maps doesn't send you to their old location - it's on the road heading toward Madisonville.
Sadly, I found the macaroni cheese very underwhelming. It was like homemade kraft, and I'd have liked a lot more flavour: don't be afraid of seasoning! The chopped beef was good and moist - and flavourful, and had a really good portion size, you won't go home hungry which we really appreciate, but the sliced brisket was very dry despite the layer of fat. The sauce is good, smokey, but a little thin. There wasn't an option for extra bread online, sadly, but if we try it again we'll ask when we pick it up. Boxes don't insulate well, so just keep in mind by the time it gets home it may be quite cold. They also didn't have watermelon crush, which was disappointing.
I do like that this is clearly a family owned business doing well, and with some more flavour and a few recipe adjustments, we'd love to...
Read moreI was raised with IMO, on the best BBQue, ever. In the 60s and 70s we traveled between Austin and Houston stopping in Hempstead. My dad was raised there and there USED to be 2 places that had great BBQue! I have traveled most of the United States since, trying BBQue, to always be let down. I've tried mom and pops, name brands. WELL, today I tried this place AND was extremely impressed! WELL DONE!!! It is the closest I have been able to find close to those places of old. Very very very excited to be able to enjoy BBQue again without having to cook it myself! Had the brisket and jalapeno sausage bc that's all they had left. I'm NOT complaining, especially after tasting this bbq. The very polite and apologetic young lady who called after I placed my order said they had a run today. Well,yeah. I had waited till 2 ish on Sunday to place my order! I wanted to take the time to let you know and say THANK YOU for having a great business I can enjoy BBQue again! Again...
Read moreI went to what's the deal bar b que for the first time on today and the service and staff was great but I ordered a 3 meat plate to go brisket,sausage,and ribs and I was not pleased with the quantity of food they only gave me 1 rib which I paid 22 dollars for a 3 meat plate and the sauce was like a sweet thin sauce that's really not bar b que sauce and a small quantity of baked beans normally when I go to c and j bar b que and purchased a 3 meat plate they always give 2 ribs with a ribs,brisket,and sausage plate and I can never eat the whole intire plate all at once but I was able to eat the whole intire plate at once from what's the deal bar b que because of the low quantity of food and with that said I really think you guys should really work on giving more quantity of food too the customer's because without the customer's you don't...
