Central Texas BBQ is the kind of dining establishment you can only find in Texas. Smiling staff are helpful and friendly. Meats are deliciously slow smoked, and portions are generous. Great stop across from Hobby Airport, especially now that Pappas BBQ is no longer at Hobby.

Great family BBQ place that offers SPECTACULAR food and the best homemade sides one could ask for. Very clean, outstanding food and the staff is stellar ! Everyone works hard to provide the best food & customer service possible ! Thanks for making my visits so memorable. Go Team Central ?
The best place in this area hands down. This place has and is a staple in my family's diet for years. The owner work here everyday. Love this place. A hidden gem!

Definitely a hidden gem. An unbeatable price point for some excellent bbq. I was a bit spectacle about the outside of the building but once you walk in, you get a taste of Texas. The brisket and ribs were amazing. I will definitely be back to try more of their homemade sides!

The people are the kindest staff, once they remember your face, you will be greeted with a kind welcome and questions. The most amazing beef baked potato, clearly one of Houston's best hidden bbq spots. It's hidden location does not mean that it's empty, as this place is popular by word of mouth and people line up during lunch. This bbq place will have you walking out with a full stomach and leftovers for the next day as well as a full cup of delicious sweet tea!
BBQ near Hobby Airport!We stumbled upon an incredible local BBQ joint Central Texas bbq, near Hobby Airport and were blown away by its charm and character. The owner, Tommy, is a genuine gem himself – both passionate about barbecue and an avid fisherman, which led to him hitting it off with my husband!The food was absolutely delicious, with smoky flavors that left us wanting more. Our favorites on this trip were the juicy jalapeño sausage and fall-off-the-bone ribs, perfectly complemented by creamy mac and cheese and decadent cobblers. And let's not forget the perfectly brewed sweet tea that rounded off the meal perfectly.This place wasn't just a meal; it was an experience. The combination of delicious food, a friendly owner, and a shared love of smoking meat made it a truly memorable stop.
Came in from Louisiana, stopped here by chance and we’re so glad we did! They use the freshest and crunchiest onions and pickles! My buffalo chicken sandwich was perfect! They make your food in front of you and I’ve never had such fresh tasting food! 10/10

Went to have lunch and it was not a good idea. I was not able to work as good as I did because the food was outstanding and I wanted to just relax, lay down and call it a day ??. The prices and serving were excellent. If I am back in town I am definitely stopping here to get that Texas flavor!
Delicious turkey baked potato and super friendly customer service!! The sides looked amazing, so will have to come back and try something different!!
