Have Mercy BBQ

"The Brisket is Stupid Good today." And with that, how could you not partake?

I got turned around off of the Loop 99 in Cypress looking for a coffee shop when I saw the BBQ trailer just about closing shop for the day. It's Super Bowl Sunday, I'm hungry and I turned to the wife and asked, "brisket?"

"Sure, why not." And with that, I pulled into the corner lot where Have Mercy BBQ's food trailer was parked with some Ice House. Plenty of parking and as I said, he was just getting set to close up.

I asked if he still had a pound of brisket and he happily obliged. Got it to go and placed it in the car. The entire ride home was agony as my stomach made sounds that were completely inapproiate. Hunger pangs gouged my stomach until I finally got home. Quickly I took out a plate, opened the container and forked two slices of the softest and most aromatic smoked heaven you have ever smelled. They were still warm and I was way to hungry to wait 30-seconds to warm them in the microwave.

I immediately opened the generous amount of BBQ sauce they provided, fork-cut (or rather psychically severed a piece of one) and dipped it in sauce before taking my first bite.

Best BBQ Brisket I have ever had.

That's it, period. My mouth is watering right now thinking about the smoky flavor of the meat, so soft and succulent, married with the tangy and sweet sauce.

Epic flavor, presentation, portions, and all around a great meal. Next time I'll actually try the sides, and anything they have. But do yourself a favor. Pull off the 99 on Grant Road in Cypress, Texas. And have the brisket of your life.

To start, the owner was very welcoming and was very helpful. The food itself was awesome. The brisket had the perfect amount of bark and the flavor didn't disappoint. The Carolina pork belly was better than any other I've had in a long time. None of the meats needed any BBQ sauce, they each spoke for themselves. The brisket rice and Mac n cheese were also pretty good. I'll be back to try the rest of the meats. I have to agree with previous posts this might be the best BBQ spot in the area.

😋 Lunch @ Have Mercy BBQ was DELICIOUS!! We had brisket sandwiches, Jalapeño slaw, potato salad, pinto beans & dirty rice -- all soooooo GOOD!! Owner is super nice & friendly and prices are reasonable.

Ah-ma-zing!!!! 😊 Thank you so much for everything!!! 😀 The brisket grilled cheese was so cheesy good, the smashburger was absolutely delicious, & the brisket sandwich was so moist & juicy yummy!!!! 🤤 It was all so good & the brisket dirty rice & mac was damn good in their own right!!! 😋 You were so hospitable & our 1st time experience was hands down awesome!!! 👌 We'll definitely be back again soon!!! 😀

A little late posting this, but better late than never.

I ordered a smoked turkey and half pan brisket rice for Thanksgiving.

The turkey was absolutely the best smoked turkey I have ever had including ones I have done myself 😂. Great flavor and very juicy. I was concerned that I t would be dry after reheating but it was perfect. Everyone raved about it.

The brisket rice was very good, although the rice seemed a little undercooked IMO but didn’t stop us from enjoying it. Made great leftovers for breakfast.
