Our first time here and won't be our last. We had the basic AYCE spread and it was perfect. Every dish was tasty and Kevin was friendly and attentive. We were never left wanting or needing and left full and happy.

I really liked Terry Black’s Barbecue in Houston. I did the BBQ Experience with Robert, and it was really cool getting to see how everything is made, ask questions, and pick up some tips from the pros. The food was amazing. The beef rib, brisket, and burnt ends were my top choices, but honestly, everything was good. I was especially surprised by the smoked turkey—I never would have expected it to be that good. The sausage links also had a really nice snap. The sides were great too. The creamed corn and mac and cheese were my favorites, but I enjoyed all of them. I finished with the chocolate pudding topped with crushed Oreos, and it was excellent. I honestly couldn’t believe I finished the whole thing after all that food, but it was that good. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you get the chance to do the BBQ Experience.

Honestly if it was a button for unlimited stars i would give them. EVERYTHING WE ATE WAS AMAZING. The service let me start by saying we were over the 15min grace period for our reservation. They treated us with patience, kindness, and was BEYOND accommodating! The food again it’s not a restaurant claiming to be a “chef” the food speaks for itself, the service and ambiance! locally sourced produce. Waiters are knowledgeable they all know their stuff! Pricing is amazing. Please go experience greatness

This location was convenient and easy to get to. The service was friendly and the food was tasty. Our server was courteous, however, there was an error with one of the entrees. Our server fixed the problem, but it took a little longer than expected.
