Early BBQ

Amazing BBQ!! Not only are you supporting local, their food is delish!! This place has been around for 3 generations. Super friendly family that owns and runs this establishment.

Service was terrific and BBQ was great. We decided to sit outside under the trees at a provided picnic table and enjoy the spring weather. Best boat storage and BBQ place I've ever frequented.

Decent BBQ, I get food from there regularly. Sauce is good and so is the sausage!Give it a try!

This is an oldie but a goodie. As I understand it, Mr Early started his business about the same time that Lake Conroe started filling up for the first time. He offered boat storage, tree trimming, along with other services and... amazing, old-style Texas BBQ. Mr Early was an icon on the Northern shores of Lake Conroe.His Grandchildren have taken up the torch and continued to make mouth watering BBQ, honoring Mr. Early's original techniques.The result is fork tender sliced beef and falling off the bone ribs with a nice salt & pepper bark and light smoky flavor that is the result of a careful and experienced pit master.The sides are as good as the meat. The beans are everything you could want, the potato salad a "mashed potato" style that is both innovative and traditional at the same time.The sauce is vinegary and sweet without being overpowering, a perfect complement to the excellent meats.If you are in the area on the weekend, take the time to make the trek to Early's BBQ. It is worth the trip. You won't be disappointed... unless you get there after the meat is gone. When it is gone, it is gone!

Very very good old school country BBQ. You want great food with country charm this is it. If you care more about flash and style stay far far away but you'll be sorry you did.

The family run business is absolutely worth going to visit! I recommend calling in your order because they can get busy (because it's amazing), but they do a phenomenal job!Their banana pudding is my absolute favorite! If you want Great BBQ this is the place! Skip the chains and support local!!! Items I've seen listed: Brisket, Burnt Ends, Meat Plate, Shredded BeefCan't go wrong!!

I give it a 5 for overall experience and quality of food. This is one of those TX old schoolBBQ joints worth traveling to. It's definitely off the main drag. Owners living on site as part of a boat storage business. They've been in business 50 years and three generations. The building shows it's age and history. I count that as a plus. The smoke has infiltrated every corner of ever building. There is indoor seating, screened seating and open air picnic seating. Your choice. Old beer signs and photos from the past adorn the patchwork walls. It's a family operation, and children of the owners were playing outside. Another plus IMHO. They greeted my like family and it wasn't busy so I actually got table service and my drink filled twice. It was relaxed and casual. The food. First I'm generally one who prefers BBQ WITHOUT sauce. Good smoked meat should stand alone. But my plate came drizzled with their home made sauce. And I'm glad it did. The sauce complimented the meat perfectly. I would have missed out had ordered my plate dry. I got ribs, brisket and chicken. The chicken was a tiny bit dry but flavor was perfect. Smoked chicken skin is usually tough and bitter IMHO. But this skin was great. The ribs were served onthe bottom of the pile and soaked up all the fat and juice from the other meats. The meat fell off the bone and was very flavorful. Brisket is usually not my favorite of the meats but here it was. It was chunked rather than sliced and each piece had a nice bit of the charred crispy ends. They left a generous amount of fat on too which I think makes the meat more moist. The brisket really brought the meal home. The beans were average but I really like the potato salad it was cold and tangy just the way I like it. Perfect. The whole plate was served and presented stacked. It looked really nice. Not that presentation is an expectation at a BBQ joint but it really made me excited about what I was about to partake.

Used to come in college over the summer to visit a friend whose parents lived near by, delicious so glad we got to come back through town and visit!

This is a bbq shack. Indoor and outdoor seating, delicious food and very friendly people. You will regret not stopping in for this delicious Texas BBQ. We will be back for sure to try the banana pudding, the portions are BIG so we had no room for the cobbler, but we will try it tonight.

1st time today and I will definitely be back. Only open on the weekend Sat. & Sun. Great BBQ. Off the beaten path and well worth the extra mile to get there and a bargain when compared to Pappa's BBQ or other chain.BBQ sauce was excellent. Just the perfect sweet spicy mix. Not spicy hot at all.Brisket was perfect, the chicken very good and was not over smokey.Pork Ribs were fall off the bone excellent. And I usually don't get sausage at any BBQ place but this was a very good combination of spice and perfect with the sauce.Go drive to it. I promise you will be wonderfully surprised, just don't judge the restaurant from the outside.
