Central Texas Bar-B-Q

Central Texas BBQ is the kind of dining establishment you can only find in Texas. Smiling staff are helpful and friendly. Meats are deliciously slow smoked, and portions are generous. Great stop across from Hobby Airport, especially now that Pappas BBQ is no longer at Hobby.

This place was recommended by our shuttle driver recently when visiting! I was super excited because I always hear good things about Texas BBQ. I have to say that service was nice, the team there was very friendly. It's got back yard bbq vibes as far as the inside , that was kinda cute. However the food was not what I expected for such a highly recommended place. I had ribs and brisket. The brisket was soggy , the ribs had a distinct taste I don't know what it was but $24 and I basically didn't eat the meat. I had a broccoli and rice side - it was good and dressing(it was ok, a little too salty for me).

A True Taste of Texas with a Welcoming Twist for All!From the moment I stepped into Central Texas Bar-B-Q, I knew I was in for a treat. The food here is nothing short of spectacular. I was pleasantly surprised by their lunch special, which I hadn't known about before. The portion sizes were just right, even for the lunch special, satisfying my hearty appetite without leaving me overstuffed.What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It exudes that authentic Texas vibe that I always look forward to when visiting the area. It's like stepping into a little slice of the Lone Star State, with all the warmth and charm you'd expect.A small note for future diners: I observed that some guests had to request their desserts when opting for the lunch special. It's not a big issue, but it's something to be aware of if you're looking forward to a sweet treat to round off your meal.And let's talk about inclusivity! As someone who appreciates dietary diversity, I was thrilled to see the vegan options on the menu. It's wonderful to see a traditional barbecue joint embracing and catering to different dietary needs and preferences.In summary, Central Texas Bar-B-Q is a gem that ticks all the boxes: great food, perfect portion sizes, an authentic atmosphere, and thoughtful inclusivity. Whether you're a meat-lover or a vegan, this place will leave you satisfied and planning your next visit!PASS

This place was alright. I got the one meat brisket place, and wow they really packed it on. I had two meals with the amount of meat I got. However, the meat was dry...It had good flavor, but I wish it had been moist. They also give you two sides with the meal, and I got potato salad and mac and cheese. I also tried the loaded potatoes. Sides were all great and large portions. If the meat was better, I would definitely eat here again. Fair prices. 8.7/10

The best place in this area hands down. This place has and is a staple in my family's diet for years. The owner work here everyday. Love this place. A hidden gem!

Boy I wish I wouldve dug a little deeper on reviews before making a visit/purchase to this establishment. The sum it all up this IS NOT Texas BBQ. I ordered the "Brisket".The meat was dry, rough, chewy swimming in some weird textured sauce. There was ZERO smokey flavor, absolutely NO bark.. anything you would desire or craze about Texas BBQ was absent. The experience was closer to hospital food or some type of frozen bbq meal kit. How does this happen in our great state of Texas?

This was my first time coming here. The service was outstanding and everyone was super nice! As soon as you walk in the establishment you get a nose full of the good ole BBQ smell. I got the 2 meat lunch special and it comes with 2 sides. I got the brisket and ribs with baked beans and cabbage. In my opinion the brisket was a lil dry but still was good. And the young lady gave me a chunk of the bottom core of the cabbage. The cabbage was really seasoned and soft. The customer service was OUTSTANDING. I will be back s/o to the man cutting the meat and the lady at the cash register.

I have to order food for our training classes at work. Central Texas has been spot on, as far as arriving on time, labeling the orders, and not to mention, the delivery guy is so nice! The food is always hot when delivered and always delicious!

I have been going here for lunch the past 20+ years. The food is always consistent and delicious. The sides are perfect, my favorites are the broccoli rice and cabbage.

What a wonderful place! The food was awesome, the staff were friendly , and the price was great! Fantastic place with a small town family vibe! A must!
