First off, I was shocked when I read another reviewer give a review based solely on looking at Brooks Place without ever tasting a bite of their food. Believe my reviews or not but please, never ever trust a reviewer who never tasted the food. I've consistently had much better food at what some may call dumps than at fancy restaurants. That said, I came across Brooks Place early one morning while at Ace Hardware. There was a food trailer w a stack of firewood and smoker in the lot and a wonderous smell emanating from it. A wk later i returned with my wife to the same great smell to order lunch. My wife ordered the brisket sandwich and I had the rib platter. Mine came w 2 sides: I got baked beans and Mac n cheese. We brought our treasures home, about a 20 min drive. Our bag included 2 cups of homemade sauce, napkins, plastic utensils and a baggie w pickles and pickles red onions! Everything was still hot. The brisket sandwich had thick but oh so tender pieces of brisket on a burger bun. She added some sauce, the pickled onions and pickles. It was delicious. My pork ribs, 3 big thick ones, were some of the best i ever had in texture and flavor but frankly i expect that. What was unexpected was the excellent quality of the mac n cheese and beans. Sadly many places think of sides as more of an after thought. These were every bit as good as the meats and the meats were very very good! I place Books w my other favorite bbq joints: The Rib Co by Joshua Tree Park in CA and McGonagles in Kansas City. Brooks taste is spicy but not hot, everything is full of flavor. Added little details like the pickled red onions are tantamount to genius. Yes, this is a trailer, not a restaurant. There are some picnic tables and you are in a parking lot. Who cares? This is bbq of the highest order.
Mediocre at best. For the price it is not worth it. Small portions and the owner is rude. Had questions about the menu and he said “it’s right there in front of you” when asked about the sides that are crossed off. Last time coming to this spot
I have had a lot of BBQ. Everyone has their own version and style. But without exception, I can say this is the best I have had anywhere. I HIGHLY recommend Mr Brooks' BBQ.
Not good at all. Macaroni was filled with grease. Beans were gritty. Had to throw both plates away which btw was around $40.
Amazing food. Great owner.
Catered some brisket for my grandfather's bday. Brook's is the best. Delicious, juicy and melts in your mouth.. Thank you!
I will be completely honest this is the best bbq on this side of town and maybe one of the best in town. Brisket sandwich is amazing. This guy knows Texas bbq!!! I will be back many times
Save your money and go to spring creek. For the price I'd expect quality BBQ. Brisket was tough and beef ribs were comparable to Chinese take out. I ended up deciding to save calories and fed my dog...
The owner couldn't put his cigar down or stop his convo to even take our order. Just hanging out talking smoking a cigar must be nice! Horrible service needless to say we left after standing around for a couple minutes.
None better.
