Old Tomball BBQ

If you can’t decide where to go for barbecue, just come here. I don’t like bbq and I haven’t found “juicy” or good brisket anywhere. THIS PLACE on the other hand, 10/10 juicy BRISKET. Affordable! I also bought more to bring home for my parents. Great atmosphere and the BBQ sauce was delicious too. Owner is such a nice guy as well. Super chill spot. We also had desert, banana pudding and chocolate cake!

Old Tomball BBQ is the real deal. I had a delicious meal of tender ribs with classic coleslaw and beans, and everything hit the spot. It’s especially encouraging to see stacks of wood out front—always a good sign that the BBQ is prepared onsite, slow-cooked, and properly smoked. You can taste the care in every bite. Even better, it’s a family-run small business, and I love supporting places like this. Highly recommended.

Dude, I got a half-pound of brisket, and the portions seemed tiny compared to other places. I was like, "Are they trying to rip me off?" Whatever. I also got a whole chicken. It was thirty bucks total, and I usually don't mind, but I felt kinda ripped off. The brisket was okay at best. It was super peppery, and that was pretty much it for the seasoning. I'm bummed about the small portion, which I even weighed, and I paid fourteen bucks for it, and it had no flavor. Then the chicken. DRY! DRY! DRY! I've never had a dry BBQ chicken leg. The meat was dry, and there was no flavor. This place was a letdown, to say the least. What's worse is that their website says they have the best BBQ in Tomball. Nope! No flavor and small portions. I went once before and liked it, but not today. BBQ is too

Honestly one of the best local BBQ spots around. Family owned and you can feel it the second you walk in. The brisket is top notch, no question. The whole vibe is laid back and old timey, like one of those spots that’s been around forever and doesn’t need to prove anything. Just good food, good people

First time going to Old Tomball BBQ and I honestly feel bad I didn’t try it sooner. The moist brisket was as good as any top-tier BBQ place I’ve ever been to — perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. The ribs were exactly how they should be: tender with a great bite, but not falling apart. And the BBQ sauce was absolutely amazing — the perfect balance of sweet and tangy that complemented everything on the plate. If you’re anywhere near Tomball and love great barbecue, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back!
