I was told this place has good brisket and they were right! The brisket has flavor but a bit dry, however still good. I will return for their Texas Club with brisket.

Great location, great service. Best ambience in all the smokehouses I visited. Friendly staff. I felt the meat was a little bland, no much of the black pepper taste, but thats just me. Meat was soft and tender, they have fresh made bread, biscuits. Very kid friendly place. Right next to the freeway. Quick exit and re-entry. Wont mind visiting again.

We ate here this past weekend as needed a bbq fix. I agree with Ranger 127 that the brisket was strange, maybe undercooked, white in color? & tasteless. The ribs were tasty & the chicken amazing & meaty. I like the baked beans, but the fried okra needs work, too small & mostly breading. The cornbread is quite good.

I like this place mostly for the atmosphere. It has a down home, cozy country feel to it, but the brisket leaves a lot to be desired. It had almost no flavor to it. Had to almost drowned it in barbeque sauce to get any taste to it. The mashed potatoes and seasoned rice on the other hand, were very tasty. The corn bread muffins are also good. If it wasn't for the tasteless brisket, I'd give it five stars. Will definitely go back, but probably get the sausage or chicken. Price is pretty reasonable also, as you get unlimited rolls, cornbread, drinks, etc.

We got 2, 2-meat plates. So, 4 meats. Brisket, sausage, ribs, and chicken. Let's start with the brisket. I'm beyond disappointed. I asked for fatty, got ignored, and got lean jerky. Worst brisket I've had in a long time. Sausage is OK. Ribs had a ton of sugar in the rub and tasted like a candied rib. Wasn't appealing to me. The rib meat had decent flavor. And the chicken, wasn't asked white or dark, got the breast. Flavor is good and there's good smoke, but it was a little dry. Sides were all good. Mac (which was good), potato salad(mayo based), Brussel sprouts, and loaded mashed potatoes. Really disappointed by that brisket though.

Mid BBQ. Ribs tough, hard bite, like bite down and rip it off the bone. Brisket was better but lacking. Sides were good though. Self serve rolls and corn muffins. No prices or menu so just act surprised when you get charged $25 for a 2 meat plate. Do they do sandwiches? Maybe, wouldn't know if no menu up there. How much is 'by the lb?' Who knows. Place is good size, plenty of seating since it wasn't busy. Parking lot big. Something for a quick bite passing through town. Just expected better. Edit-- they have paper menus. Thanks for clarifying that

Came with my family to try this BBQ restaurant. Inside the restaurant is spectacular, is a type buffet restaurant. The food is just ok, I had smoke brisket, chicken, sausage, and ribs, and it wasn't that great. The Mac & Cheese was really good. I like that they have another free buffet for vegetables.

Dinning room was very cold. Asked manger if he could make the dinning area warmer. His tone was not of a customer service professional. We are not allowed to touch the thermostats per the owner. Meanwhile everyone in the restaurant are wearing jackets except line cook staff . This Last September there was 30 plus of us ,and the restaurant was very warm. Mr. Owner you need to stop penny pinching , and adjust this mangers attitude . FYI we drive in from Sugar land , and other outlying areas. Only 1 person is 10 min from your location. Long time customer, and we come in as a group 5 to 30 over the years. Today was our last time, and we will find a new place.

09/20/2025 2:32pm Haven’t been here in a while so we decided to give it another try. We ordered the two meat plate with sides & salad with turkey & an extra ranch because one is laughable. Both meats had good flavor but were warm, not hot. The salad with turkey was delicious. There was no cornbread & no rolls out so we asked for some. They brought out ice cold rolls so we had to ask them to microwave them. The table next to us said they asked for cornbread 20 minutes ago & none ever came out. The condiment bar was horrible & sloppy. There was no pico so we had to ask for more. The area hadn’t been wiped down so food was everywhere & every set of tongs except two were in the condiment so they couldn’t be used. We had to reach over the pickles to get the jalapeños & my wife said the pickles tasted like jalapeños from cross contamination. The bathrooms have about 1/2” of dust covering everything & we’re not the cleanest. Overall, the people were polite but inattentive to cleaning the work stations & restrooms. The food was decent for the price.

Whenever I visit my mother, we'll go out to eat. Lately, we have been visiting Harris County Smokehouse on some visits. It is in our rotation so to speak. Their food is pretty good. On the last (double meaning!) visit, we waited seemingly forever for our food. After 25 minutes, I went to ask about it and our food was sitting on the counter between the kitchen and servers. I pointed this out and was told it had just been placed there ... even though they were grabbing a large order for a group that was well after us. My Mom's bacon was cold; she ate one half of one piece. The manager (I assume) seemed disinterested and offered to cook it again. Needless to say, we declined since we were done with the meal. We had earlier told an employee who was in the dining area, but no one ever came out to speak with us. Their excuse was that they only had one cook - on a Friday night! Our previous outings were better, but not enough to overcome this night and make us inclined to return.

I came in for the lunch special. I have a credit card that doesn't have chip. You have to swipe it it. When I went to pay they refused to swipe my card. Honestly, im glad they would not take my money. This place looks outdated and the food looked dry. They used to be a great place to go to. Now they are overpriced and there food is not even that good.

Harris Cty BBQ on 2920 Tomball. Had 2 bad experiences. #2 is most irritating: 1. Tues 10/7/25 8:15pm: I had just rushed 38 miles from downtown H. Doors were locked, door showed closing at 9pm. I could see people eating inside, so since only 8:15 called from outside. Lady said we decided to close early and gave me no reason. 2. Friday 10/17/25 8:15pm: Decided to try this restaurant one more time. Paid for orders and proceeded to corn muffins and stood in front of the glass case. An employee named Debra came up on my right. I asked Debra where the non jalapeño muffins were. She pointed to a middle row with 4 muffins. But then I was shocked when she opened glass door, took all 4 muffins, put in a sack. I said, you just took my 4 muffins. Debra replied, there will be hot muffins coming out any minute. She then went home. I asked employees when the fresh muffins would be ready. They replied no more tonight. Told them what Debra did a they found it amusing. Pico bar area was all cleaned out. Had to ask them to bring out more pico. When a one meat plate is $20, you would think service would be better.

The brisket was dry, bland, boring, and tasted like regret. The brussel sprouts were boiled in water only, no flavor at all, same for the green beans. This is an extremely poor representation of Texas barbecue, and does not deserve to be called Texas barbecue. The sausage tasted like the cheapest trash sausage you can buy. Definitely not deserving of any stars. Step your game up Harris County Smokehouse, have some Texas pride.
