Roegels Barbecue Katy — Restaurant in Texas

First time at Roegel's and won't be the last. The cashier and all the staffs were all in smiles, helpful and very friendly. We ordered the Meat Sweats (3 meat choice) and price is definitely better than Brett's. Their RIBS were AWESOME. We like dry rub, sweet type of ribs, and this place has the best ribs I've ever had. It was moist but has the top crust that was so good, not hard or chewy, but has a bit of a crunch on the first bite, while the meat under that crunch were so tender. Their bbq sauce is so good too, sweet and a bit of tangy but not sour. Their pork belly was so delicious, super soft and flavorful. And the fries!!! The crispiest and best tasting fries I've had for a while. I can hear the crunch as I was biting to it, but not hard or dry. My son loves the fries so much, we had to order a second round.

Now, as for the brisket, We did not really care for it that much, even though it was so moist, it was like like butter soft, but the flavor was lacking. The smoked wings was ok, there was a taste of bourbon or beer and we prefer the regular smoked wings, no alcohol taste. Their cornbread pudding is the BOMB, and so is their bourbon pecan pie. We really like the decor, not too dark, not too bright, just right. The seats could be further apart, but it did not bother us. I think Roegel's is the best BBQ hands down in Katy in terms of RIBS, pork belly, fries and cornbread pudding.

We will come back and try the sausage next time. Kudos to all the...

I've been waiting for quite a while to finally try this place. I've been going to Rudy's for the past decade and love that place. Everyone says Roegels is the best BBQ place in the area which could've been true at some point in time. Today however I ordered the brisket plate and my brisket didn't have the signature smoke ring I have seen in other review photos. The biggest disappointment was that it wasn't moist. Quite dry actually. You'll be able to notice in my photos. I never had that issue at Rudy's. Spending more on Akaushi beef doesn't mean much if there's no quality control. I've also been getting used to the bread slices at Rudy's but it is absent here. Sides are definitely better here than Rudy's. Potato salad is excellent,but not the best out there. Rudy's potato salad is garbage. Cornbread casserole is amazing and easy to make and I wish Rudy's did that. Rudy's has better service. I'm not complaining about the staff at Roegels since they do their job, but Rudy's is just way better at customer service if that makes any sense. Other than that, this might be my last visit here unless I can get a guarantee that my brisket will have the smoke ring next time. Charging a premium is a risky business if you can't maintain quality and customer service. One piece of advice, train everyone in the store to say hi to everyone that comes in and smile, that's it. That would be the first step to changing the first time...

(Update: Just when are you guys open? I find your hours to be very hard to get in and enjoy your BBQ. Please consider normalizing your hours.)

Finally a great BBQ restaurant in Katy. Roegels delivers an amazing BBQ experience with authentic smokehouse flavors and proteins that are equally matched by their sides. I ordered the two meat plate with Brisket and hatch chili sausage and both were amazing. The brisket was cooked to perfection with equal bits of rendered goodness and a seriously tasty park that added a nice twang to every bite. One of the best pieces of brisket you are going to eat in Katy and that is considering that Spring Creek and Rudy's are just across the way. The hatch sausage was huge and had great flavor and some kind of gooey cheese that went very well with the mild spice of the hatch.

The sides... oh the sides. I had the potato salad and the bbq beans. I absolutely loved the potato salad which its rich taste that had me digging into the side dishes before even tasting the meats. The beans were good but not as sweet as I tend to like my beans, but nonetheless they were yummy and fit well with everything else.

Overall this should be really high on your short list of BBQ places to hit to get your fix of quality BBQ with quality proteins and amazing side dishes. My...
