Q - Texas BBQ & Steakhouse Houston Reviews
When traveling through Houston International Airport - this is a great spot for great smoked meats! Great bar for beer and cocktails. My flight was delayed, and I didn’t mind since I could grab some Q!
A surprisingly great place to eat real Texas BBQ at IAH between flights. We shared an excellent brisket and pulled pork plate. Good fries and coleslaw slaw, too. Comfortable seating and top-notch service by Aubrey. Skip the burger places and go straight here. We couldn't believe our luck - real BBQ with a full bar with a plate that over-fed the two of us (we gorged) for less than 2 burgers at nearby places! Go here for comfort food, comfortable seating and personable service! We had fun and good memories!
What a nice surprise. We were hungry, the smell caught our attention. We decide to take a risk, because brisket is alway a hit or miss.. but honestly this was the Best brisket I've ever had! Highly recommend!
Second time I’ve come here, and the second time I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The half chicken is honestly really good, like really good should not be in airport good. The price was decent for an airport too
This was probably the best airport food we have had in a long time! We had the pork platter along with the St. Louis half rib that came with Mac n cheese, green beans, potato salad, and baked beans. Everything was great and well flavored! Happy to try some Texas bbq during our long layover in Houston!

I don't understand why this place is getting bad reviews. Everything was excellent. Usually, airport food is not that great. Q is one of the exceptions. The stuffed jalapeño appetizer is really good. Highly recommended
I ordered two meats and meat was cold ribs was better than brisket (it had a lot of fat) you pay and tip before you eat which I didn't really care for . Manger was very nice. I believe this place is more like a hit and miss and the manger said the same.
This was the best burgers and baked beans I have ever eaten. My family was very tired after a long travel day and we landed here due to a tip from an interior airport shuttle driver. He even drove us here. We were so amazed. As to expensive, come on, it's airport pricing. But I would make a detour here again to get this burger, fries and baked beans
Stopped by here form sunny CA. Food was great … my spicy marg was even better! Our waiter was great and actually had some beer suggestions for my man… great input great food. Only gave 4 and not 5 stars on the food cause I’m picky like that but overall great place to grab a bite!
Super cool looking place. Turkey BBQsandwich was awesome. Worker helped me order. Lots of meat. Paid 19.95, your at the airport, price is alittle higher but worth it!

Damn good food and great service! This place is a great place to hang out, have a beverage and a delicious bite. It's got great service and lots of good seating with plenty of places to charge your devices. Enjoy!
The Q Texas BBQ Smokehouse at the airport in Houston is a grand visual experience... amazing looing bar and the kitchen smells great as its right in the open in the corridor.. Nothing better than a cold beer for breakfast and really enjoyed the Brisket Breakfast sandwich.

You pay a very high price for mediocre food and apathetic service. Took me 20 min to get an oder of 2-smoked-meat combo and the taste was average at best while it cost me a good buck. Cooks at the order point looked very unfriendly and reluctant to answer questions. The only part of the experince I liked was the decoration of the sitting area with brass pipes overhead. I'd recommend looking elswhere if you intend on enjoying your meal.
I don’t understand why it is so hard for workers to acknowledge customers. If you don’t like working here then find another job. I said good morning to the lady working and she looked at me like I had said something wrong. Food was mediocre. The menu stated “breakfast potatoes” and I got potato chips.
I was hoping that my bbq experience was going to be a real Texan one. I ordered a full rack of ribs and this is what they considered a full rack. Almost $50 later. Not worth the money. They also didn’t have any of the toast and didn’t tell me. Overall I was not impressed. I know I am in an airport, but still. They could do better.

Got excited about the look and then I watch them prepare the food. No one washed there hands or changed there gloves. Probably cause the hand wash sink had a bag of corn thawing in it. The place was to small for the business it was getting. Grill top was way to small. I felt bad for the employees and im generally concerned for there safety. They made alot of sanitary mistakes but mostly due to the size of the kitchen area. Used a green cutting board for beef brisket. Not enough cooler space or prep area and the small area is an accident waiting to happen to someone that works there. They kept going back and forth and because it was unorganized. Also I think your hoods need to be cleaned.

Very disappointing experience. The food was extremely dry and lacked flavor — definitely not the kind of BBQ you’d expect from a place with “Texas” in its name. On top of that, the wait was way too long, even though the restaurant wasn’t that busy. For the price and location, I expected something much better. It felt rushed and poorly prepared, and overall, it was not even close to the BBQ experience I was hoping for. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re absolutely out of options.
I was ripped off $25 with their ponzi scheme where they offer you $20. When I talked to the manager about it, he was very unprofessional and rude, talking to me like an idiot. I have been traveling since four in the morning And maybe i'm not the sharpest I could be, but I do not appreciate being talked to that way. The coffee I ended up paying $30 for wasn't even that good...
kitchen staff does not have sense of urgency at all. And come with tin foil in the meat.
The vibe's nice and the music's cool, but the food's bland, overpriced, and not worth it. Definitely wouldn't come back for a bite. Pretty disappointing, especially for one of their priciest items (grilled steak Sandwich)

While staff was just standing around, I could have given my drink request to a human. But instead, had to navigate connecting to public airport WiFi, and since the staff was just standing around doing literally nothing, they just physically got in the way of the bartender getting it made. Then the default tip was still 20% or higher. Its not the staffs fault. They have to deal with this crappy system more than we do. Not going back though
