Tejas Chocolate+Barbecue

Brisket was really good here. We came late in the day and still got food (maybe 4pm). I got brisket and pork belly. Definitely heavy on the black pepper, so expect it.

I didn't get to try any chocolate, but it looked really good.

They did show is their pits and even let us watch them wrap a brisket. Told us about their process, etc. Very cool and nice people.

Loved it! There was a bit of a wait, which was eased by the coolers of complimentary sodas and beer on the porch (this is a quaint converted house). Once inside, you hit the chocolate. I'll skip that next time because I'm more of a lowbrow Hershey's kind of gal. Next up were the main dishes. We got turkey, lean and fatty brisket, soup, and a loaded baked potato. The potato is forgettable, but the soup was delicious, and the meat was amazingly tender and juicy. Come early, though, because it was sold out at 1:30 on a Saturday.

Meat is tender and well seasoned! Ribs were a tad bit tough but tasty. I believe the sauce is a bit sweet this is just my opinion, sauce needs to be a little spicy. I do love the complimentary beer available on Saturdays! Staff very friendly and welcoming, and great country feel! Chocolate is excellent.

The pastrami and the pork rib chowder were excellent! Worth the wait. The smoked turkey is also a great choice; so moist and flavorful. Oh and the bratts...haven’t had anything yet that I wouldn’t get again. That goes for the chocolate and truffles too.

Brisket and ribs were gone by the time we got there, which of course is a risk when looking for good BBQ after 2 pm in Houston, but everything we did try was fantastic. The pulled pork was the best I've had anywhere due to the seasoning. Pastrami was something I've never seen at a BBQ joint and we will definitely be returning to try out the Reuben. Turkey, sausage, pork belly all fantastic. Potato salad is mayo based with green onion and though I usually prefer mustard based, I really enjoyed it. I was looking forward to trying the mole, but it didn't make it into our order, I don't think they heard me say it; will definitely try that next time. We finished our lunch with some truffles from the chocolate counter. All in all, this place was worth the 50 minute drive and we will definitely be back! Thanks Tejas Chocolate + BBQ!
