Grand Prize Barbeque — Restaurant in Pasadena

This is the first negative review I have ever left at a restaurant , I'm usually not the person to complain but the food here was BEYOND disappointing with No flavor and less than Luke warm. Came in on a Thursday around 11:45 place was packed with refinery workers which is probably what keeps the buisness up on float , that's not the issue at all this establishment probably gets away with the food they serve because everyone who does eat here has to come in for a quick bite and leave back to work. I ordered a three meat plate with 2 sides . The brisket had NO FLAVOR what so ever so disappointing. The spicy sausage was a weird light Grey color and wasn't even warm and didn't really have a flavor. The chicken was also a disappointment out of all the sides they had about only half of their options available the potato salad had a strong mayo and mustard flavor they definitely Over did it and the beans and rice made me not want to eat any more of it after the first bite . The jalapeño cheese bread looked good only to the find out it was stale and hard nothing was good its ridiculous! Like c'mon! Just drive a little further for a better bbq place i live in pasadena yet travel all over Texas and when I do I always like to try new bbq places. Sad to say when it comes to BBQ my hometown of Pasadena Texas doesn't have many...

It’s juicy and moist but extremely flavorful. The ribs and sausage are cooked just right but the turkey, my girlfriend hates turkey and she wished she got that instead of double ham on her potato. Their bbq sauce is not too watery but not too spicy, it’s just right. And there jalapeño toast....me or my girlfriend are NOT jalapeño eaters but the toast OMG is amazing. It’s got the flavor but not the hit and is to die for. Plus the decor is so Texan, if your from out of town or visiting and want authentic Texas food and feel then this is the place. All and all being a big foodie I...

The only thing that was good about this place was the slice of bread that came with my meal. The pork ribs had a line of fat in the middle, while the beans were old and bland. My Mac and cheese was full of curdling yellow cheese. The home made bbq sauce only made things worse for the meal.

I was probably better off getting held at gun point at the front door where they could take my money and I get nothing in return. Still hungry. Building is not in the best shape indoor or outdoor. If someone doesn’t care about the facilities they use to prepare your food then they don’t care enough about the food they are...
