Space Craft BBQ — Restaurant in Houston

Update:While I miss the turkey and hope it is back soon, I thought I'd update my review as I tried the chicken thighs today and they were absolutely heavenly! Great job Ben & co!! Hands down the best BBQ in our area

Service is the bomb! Super friendly and very helpful!! Tried several items on the menu today and have to say that their chicken is delicious and the turkey breast is the best I've ever had anywhere hands down; it's actually moist and flavorful!! The brisket I would say is the best in the Clear Lake / Webster area, but to be honest I don't care for any of the brisket at any of the locations anywhere around us. LOL My favorite brisket spot in Texas used to be Nathan's in Brenham until Nathan sold it and whoever took it over doesn't use his same cooking method because it is nowhere near as good as it was. My favorite brisket now is at Pablo's barbecue in Lufkin as he now has what Nathan's used to , which is brisket that is so good you don't need any sauce the flavor is that awesome! Tried all of their Space Craft sides and was excited to see some healthier takes on your typical barbecue sides . Everything sounded so interesting we wanted to try them all. LOL The Thai Fighter potato salad and watermelon salad are my favorites. Would like to see maybe another sauce option so that you have at least a couple of things to pick from. Personally I'm fond of Carolina style, or mustard-based sauces and spicy sauces with just a hint of sweet. Highly recommend everyone give this place a try. Thank you for a lovely first experience.

visit update: Tried the pork ribs today--very tasty, best around here. Turkey has been AWESOME every time!!

Update, the Travis Barker chicken drumstick...

We rolled up and smelled a delicious smoky smell which had us dying to try the food!

I ordered the 2 Meat Plate with Ribs & Brisket, Mac-n-cheese & baked beans. I usually would never order baked beans but for some reason I was craving it. The ribs were smoky and the meat fell right off the bone. It came with two ribs. I asked for the fattier part of the brisket & they delivered! It was moist/juicy and had a great crust around it. It tasted nice and smoky, & you could taste a sweet sugar flavor in the crust. The Mac n cheese surprised me since I wasn’t expecting a gnocchi style noodle but it was addicting to eat. I enjoyed it. The baked beans (which I have never ordered anywhere before) was delicious with whatever seasonings that were in it. Nice and peppery seasoned flavor.

My partner ordered the TX Banh Mi. The pork belly was cooked to perfection with a delicious flavor. The toppings on the banh mi (jalapeños, Fresca slaw) were super fresh and had a nice crunch to it, and the slaw had a sweet pickled flavor. Everything paired perfectly together and he will definitely order it again, as he loved it. One thing he mentioned that would take this sandwich to the next level is to locally source fresh bread from a bakery nearby.

We loved our entire experience, as the owner was very warm and welcoming, and the food was top tier. Also, we indulged too quickly to remember to...

Alright, so I rolled into this place thinking a perfect 5-star rating had to be a scam—probably all their cousins and pets leaving reviews. But dang, they totally earned it.

The brisket? Oh boy, it's like they found the sweet spot between not too acidic and not too sweet and not like some other really expensive smoke houses up in dallas that give you a flavor profile of wood ash crust. None of that Texas-sized hype, just straightforward deliciousness on a bun. Simple, yet complex in flavor—like solving a Rubik's cube made of meat.

Then there's the pork belly basket: crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in this caramel glaze that makes you want to propose to it. Seriously, it's that good.

Now, the Thai Fighter potato salad—what a name! It's like a flavor explosion, with every bite hitting you like a Stormtrooper getting blasted by a rebel flavor cannon. Just a heads-up though: there are peanuts in there, so watch out if you're allergic. They're not trying to take anyone out, just add some crunch.

Overall, it's a tiny joint, but that's how you know they're the real deal. None of that mass-produced stuff here. They take their time, making sure every dish is as tasty and...
