TrappedSmoke BBQ

We ordered all the meat for our Christmas dinner, and it exceeded everybody's expectations!

This place is amazing ! If you are looking for that feel good homestyle cooking this is the place to be ! The customer service is wonderful and the food is hot and fresh. The flavor is top tier! And the portion sizes are definitely filling!

During 2023, I was ecstatic to learn of a relatively new barbeque vendor, (TrappedSmoke BBQ), located at 5115 S. Mason Road, on my route from work in Katy, Texas. Formerly, living in Austin, Texas, I could never get to Sam's Bar-B-Que before closing time. I had wanted to prove to myself his pronouncement, "You don't need no teeth to eat my beef!" I had recently enjoyed Lucy Pearl's Bakery in downtown Houston. My daughter introduced me to some special cakes and cupcakes. Now, I needed a BBQ place in Katy. I have found one, located inside an Exxon/Mobile service station. Just as this gas company promises you that you can be confident you're getting great gasoline every time you fill up here, I can promise you that you can be confident you're getting genuine, old-fashioned barbeque, when you buy TRAPPEDSMOKE BBQ. My nose, eyes, taste buds, and the courteous communication with the owner, Jamal Gray, support my trust in this vendor and his product. Jamal and his team run this establishment as very clean, conscientious public servants, providing meticulous preparation of quality brisket beef. The day I found TrappedSmoke BBQ, I had walked into the Exxon/Mobile store for something else, but my nose made me ask myself, "Do I smell Real BBQ?" As I followed the aroma with my awakened sense of smell, my eyes, and later my tastebuds, confirmed my suspicion with a resounding, "Yes!" I am glad I tried the smoked, BBQ, brisket beef. The beef was very tender, well seasoned, a little fatty, and tasty - full of the hickory smoke flavor. If you are looking for a new BBQ place in Katy, try "TrappedSmoke BBQ". The hickory smoke flavor is truly trapped within the carefully smoked meat, like my daddy used to make in East Texas.

Tried this BBQ out for the first time only because I happened to walk into the gas station store for something else. The air was full of that smoky goodness you expect when entering a good BBQ joint. I tried the ribs and they were great. Tender, seasoned well, and just the right amount of smoke. Very sweet woman working the counter too. I will definitely be back to try their other meats and sides. This place could be dangerous for me. It's only a 30 second drive from my house! It's a hidden gem. You need to try it!
