SMOKE:Texas BBQ & Watering Hole

"Let's start out with this place is good. Very good infact. But let's also discuss it is Houston priced bbq. It's an old warehouse, looks awesome. Well decorated, has a bar in the middle and a counter with the friendliest folks. Ordered ribs and moist brisket and one side. 37 dollars before tip. Thirty seven dollars. I'll always pay for good food, so you won't be disappointed but man ... oh and pickles and onion are free but should you want jalapenos they're 1.50. Which is just ridiculous. So the ribs were sauced, and had a nice bite without just completely falling off the bone. Just how I like them. The brisket crust was super salty but it's a rub, I get it. Still good, moist, and just melted in your mouth. The potato salad was very nondescript and could have easily been forgotten. Wasn't good. Wasn't bad. Just there. Now when you're done you leave your tray at your table. I didn't know and turned it in, I won't be accused of being a lazy bones. Anyway, if you want good BBQ, and aren't afraid to pay for it, then this is your place."

"Was in need of bbq Boy did we find a good one NO a great one ! We both got chopped brisket sandwich, moist, seasoned perfect sauce on side, the bun was a perfect balance the meal includes 2 sides and beverage my side choices were charro beans (5☆) my husband got double macaroni/cheese tasted homemade and potato salad. We saw their bbq ribs next time (maybe) cause they have many choices. Prices were excellent for quality and quantity. They have a full liquor bar with lots of seating or tables for dining. Cutest thing they came around with a tray of cookies ...yum We will definitely see you again....soon !"

"Trying to support small business. Sharing my feedback as I didn’t see these things mentioned in other reviews. Prices are a steep and they charge extra for things that are free at the other bbq place. . Up charge to toast the bread & up charge for jalapeños. Bread is regular loaf, not Texas toast. $20 for a little over half a pound of brisket. Potato salad was heavy on mayonnaise. Brisket was tender and hit the spot as we were hungry but a tad bit salty for my liking.. Hours are from 11am until sold out so be aware of timing you come. Cashier Naomi was friendly and helpful as she explained the menu to us."

"I recently visited Smoke: Texas BBQ and Watering Hole and had an incredible dining experience. The brisket served here was absolutely mouthwatering and cooked to perfection. It was moist, tender, and bursting with smoky flavors. I couldn’t get enough of it! Not only was the food outstanding, but the customer service was also top-notch. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. It’s evident that they genuinely care about their customers’ experience. I do understand that we were their last customers of the day, and although the staff might have been a little frustrated, they didn’t let it affect the quality of their service or the food. They maintained their professionalism and made sure we had a great dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend Smoke: Texas BBQ and Watering Hole for their delicious brisket, excellent customer service, and genuine commitment to making every guest feel welcome. Despite being their last customers, we had a fantastic time and left with happy bellies. I can’t wait to visit again!"
