Citadel BBQ 6601 Main Street, Houston, TX 77030

"I'm visiting from Florida and staying at the Westin hotel we decided to try this place since it was right on the same block. The lady taking our order did not understand what we were ordering. Then I asked if the potato salad was spicy she said no. I ordered the pulled pork and beans with side of potatoes salad. Potato salad had so much heat it was unbearably hot... unbearably. Then the beans had zero flavor, pulled pork was dry as if it was just reheated from days ago. It's a once and done. Two ppl came in and asked how it was and I told them my wife's bbq ribs were dry as a rock and her Mac n cheese had zero flavor and zero salt. They left. My wife and I were very disappointed."

"This nice little medical center bbq and bar is amazing. The spicy sauce is perfect!! The bread pudding and sauce is mouth watering. Although it’s reflects the med center prices, the food and service is worth it"

"The taste was ok but the brisket was dry, stringy, and tough. For the quality it should have been maybe half the price. I think one issue is it was sliced with the grain instead of across. The other, now I may be wrong, was it was pulled out of a warming oven/cabinet and perhaps it has been sitting there for a very long time drying out. The sauce was super sweet. It was probably the worst bbq I've had at a restaurant. On the positive side, the staff was nice."

"Citadel BBQ is LIT! We ordered 1 1/2 lbs of brisket (Moist) hence the fat Sliced Turkey sandwich Chopped Beef sandwich Mac and Cheese And Banana Pudding. I have nothing negative to say about any of it. The brisket was moist and pull apart, smoked perfectly and does not need BBQ sauce. The sliced turkey was so tender and moist we ended up ditching the bun and eating the sliced turkey. (As pictured the tiny bits of turkey were from trying to fork pieces to family members to try) The Chopped beef sandwich was delicious and is generally a staple when I try any BBQ place. I relate it to cheese pizza, if your at a pizza place and they can’t deliver on a slice of cheese pizza then the rest probably won’t be right. I immediately took my sandwich apart to make sure it was all brisket (you would be surprised what I’ve found) it was all coarsely chopped brisket that’s sauced up just perfectly. The sauce to brisket ratio was perfect you could still taste the brisket and had just a hint of sauce. This place has done things right, and you can tell. Excellent food guys! Thanks for the help and the conversation!"
