Truth BBQ

My son and I decided to create our own "Taste of Houston Tour" for ourselves. We stopped at some recommended places and picked one item from each place to try. We hopped from one place to another and this was one of our stops. We arrived and there was a literally a line out the door. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait. We were planning on getting another item on the menu, but at the counter, they had some samples of brisket for us to try. Once we tried a little piece, we knew that that was what we wanted to get at this place. It did not disappoint. This was the most tender and delicious brisket I've ever had. At the table, there were three different sauces to try a mustard one, horseradish, I think one, and just standard barbecue sauce. All were delicious and complemented the brisket.Overall, had a really cool vibe with plenty of seating and very friendly staff. This moves to the top of our list for barbecue in the Houston area. We would highly recommend and assume that everything on the menu was just as good as what we tried. Everything looked fantastic!

We loved this bbq joint! Great service, line moved pretty well and the food was delicious! We had the three combo meat platter and 4 of us could share it easily. We had the brisket (yummy) cheddar jalapeño sausage and ribs. Baked beans delicious!

Visited with a local relative that hadn't been here for some time. First time and I thought why haven't I been here yet?!We arrived on a Wednesday around 12:45 and we got lucky as there was a short line. Order, pay and find a table. They were providing Brisket samples which was a nice touch. I could have just stood there and ate the samples all day-wow!We ordered one meat and two meat combo plates. Both had Brisket and one with the Spicy Peppercorn sausage. Brisket was amazing! Perfect smoke and tender.I usually get Jalapeño Cheddar sausage but decided to go with the Peppercorn. Good decision-just right spicy/salty-delicious! Sides were Corn Pudding, Tater Tot Casserole, Brussel Sprouts, and Mac & Cheese. All delicious with the Corn and Sprouts standing out.Service was quick (kept the line moving) and friendly. On Bon Appetit's Top 8 Houston BBQ spots as well a few other lists. Definitely lives up to the hype!

#3 on the Top 50 BBQ spots in Texas and very well deserved. Opted for brisket and pork robs this go-round. The brisket was tender and moist. Ribs flavorful. The sides (tot casserole and collard greens) also paired well. Plenty of seating, inside and outside. And able to accommodate larger parties. While seated, Jerry was super kind and helpful with helping pack leftovers in to go boxes. This place is a MUST if you love Texas BBQ!

Enter through the front left door. Stand in line. Order. There's a lot of seating inside. Some outside. It has a nice modern rustic vibe. The food.....so good. I've never had pickles like that. All of the colors on my plate made me happy. Our kids loved it. It's definitely gluten friendly. Most likely free of most allergens. The staff were really nice. We will be back!

Solid 4...almost a 5 but there was a place we went to on our Texas trip that we liked better.Location/decor- in a bit of a run-down area; parking lot was big enough early on a weekday but I could see this being a problem on a weekend; the interior design is awesome and comfortable...everything looks cool and there is plenty of spaceStaff- ok...nothing specialFood- brisket was really good, pulled pork was ok, and the mac n cheese and brussell sprouts were solid choices*prices a bit high

TLDR: i feel like the must get items were the brussel sprouts, ribs & fatty brisket. I preferred the yellow bbq sauce (more mustardy vs the more traditional sweet tangy bbq sauce). On a foodie trip with my cousin and this was our first stop - basically scuttled over as soon as we dropped off our luggage at our hotel. Ended up getting there around 1130ish? There was a bit of a line but nothing crazy. Ended up getting 2 x 2 meat + 2 sides plates to make sure we got a sampling of everything. In all we got the garlic sausage, pulled pork, brisket and ribs & corn pudding, brussel sprouts, cole slaw & baked beans. Everything was good but my handsdown favorite thing that I think everyone should try are the brussel sprouts!! It was flavorful and saucey and crispy caramelized goodness. My favorite meats were the ribs, and the fatty brisket. Prominent smoke flavor, not obviously salty or sauced in any way so its a blank canvas for the possible sandwich/sauce/side combos you could try.

Houston's got a lot of great barbecue joints, but Truth really exceeded my expectations! I came at a busy time on Saturday but the line moved fast, the employees were all really friendly, and the seating area was spacious.We shared a portion of brisket (4/5 - good, but I've had better) and pulled pork (4/5 - same thing). Both meats were tender, flavorful, and elevated even further with the sides... the SIDES. The sides were where it was at for me. We tried:- Tater Tot Casserole (2.5/5): The only miss for me. I had higher expectations for this one because I enjoy the crispiness of a tater tot, but this was more like a mushy hash brown casserole. My friend loved it, but it wasn't for me. Good kick to it though.- Mac & Cheese (4/5): Cheesy without being overwhelmingly goopy, with a nice bite to the macaroni noodles- Corn Pudding (5/5): Savory with a pleasant texture that goes perfectly with your choice of meat. We finished this one the quickest and wish we got more. I'd come back for this alone.Special shout out to the banana pudding, which I didn't think I'd like but ended up becoming a 5/5 for me. The bananas were fresh & the whipped cream wasn't too sweet. It was a great way to round out a rich meal.This is a nice place with down to earth vibes and excellent food! & if you don't eat meat, there's plenty to enjoy here.

Really enjoyed the pork ribs, collard greens and corn pudding. 5 stars to customer service, staff was super friendly, specially Jerry, who made some nice recommendations about the cakes.We will be coming back!

Great food, great service. Had to check it out! Beef rib bone slide right out. And nice smoke ring on the brisket
