Everything excellent!
Ordered 3 meats (brisket, spare ribs, regular sausage) got Texas toast, smoked corn, and yams. Corn was very flavorful and unique. Awesome experience which I would highly suggest trying. Yams were delectable and exquisite. Setting is very clean and nice TVs for watching sports. Large dining area with a smokehouse vibe but sanitized and clean. 11/10 would recommend. It’s nap time.

We've been trying to go to Gatlin's for a while now and just didn't make it. Today we did! I had the pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese, while the hubby had the sliced brisket with beans and potato salad. The positive: lots of selection for meat and sides, as well as the dipping sauce was just right. The negative: too much fat on the meat. BOTH meats. I spent more time picking out the fat from the pulled pork as well as the hubby eating around the fat in the brisket. there should be some fat in the meat for flavor, etc. However, you shouldn't be spitting out fat in every bite. I'm also still trying to figure out why the mac and cheese tasted like pickle juice was in it??

Brisket is very good, sausage was alright, and the pork was not great. I was surprised the potato salad wasn't good, never had salad like that before. I would say overall the bbq was pretty good, but there are better ones out there. Service was good too.

My first time ever coming here and I doubt if I will return...... Only given 3star, bcuz staff friendly and professional, place extremely clean. But food I was very disappointed. Potato salad nasty, Mac n cheese no flavor, dirty rice taste like dirt. Those are not deer sausage as I asked the young lady before I ordered. I love the service just not the food. I picked all over the food and forced myself to eat this. This was a costly lesson.

We came from Corpus Christi after all the TV show, Texas Bucket List, Master Chef, super coffee. Very large portions! They exceeded our expectations. Perfectly cooked. The staff was so very nice. We will be back very soon

Our daughter-in-law came with my wife and I to this smoky meat palace and we're sure glad we did! Everything we tried was the best of the best. we got the three meat plate with two sides and got an extra meat. The moist end brisket...the lady that took our order asked me to specify....most places leave it up to you but you have to request it....here they ask up front...love that. The brisket had tons of flavor and almost fall apart tender, in my top 2 or 5 all time, this is the good stuff people. The St. Louis style pork ribs were in the top two....that good. The turkey was in that same stellar class of tastiness. We got a link of their fine traditional sausage which was 5 stars as well. The plate came with 2 small containers of their BBQ sauce, they only do one kind but they do it well.....this 'Q don't need no sauce anyway. The sides were just as amazing as the 'Q. The fried okra being on the menu helped us decide on this awesome joint over another highly rated 'Q place, the okra was 5 stars. Our daughter-in-law loves tater salad and their version hit all our spots....down to the last bite....everything we got disappeared. We'll be back for more with our son. This is a little distance from our house but well worth the drive....road trip!

Food is great the cucumber salad slide is the best. The brisket was too dry for my taste. Ribs were brilliant. One of things that I really admired that the owner was there taking care of cleaning tables that’s commendable

I saw lots of folks standing around when I came in and was worried there would be a long wait, I was wrong. The young lady at the register was very knowledgeable and friendly. Didn't take long for the food to come out at all. The food tasted absolutely amazing! I LOVE cucumber salad and I've found a new place to get it! That was my first time there and I will definitely be back.

I've been wanting try this place for a while and, just recently, was able to stop by for lunch. I ordered the 2 meat plate: brisket, baby back ribs, Mac n cheese, and smoked corn. It was about $24. A little more than I wanted to spend on lunch but I wanted to try a couple of different meats (they charged extra for the ribs I got too). That being said, I was not hungry for the rest of the day and skipped dinner so it still ended up being worth it. BBQ is so good in Houston it's hard to stand out but this place is definitely one of my favorite BBQ places I've tried so far after just one visit. Even the sides were good. I particularly enjoyed the ribs with the glaze they put on it. Already looking forward to trying other items on their menu.
