Really tasty bbq. The meat was cooked to perfection. We ordered and enjoyed family style, which is a great offering for bbq in my opinion. The only other place I have been that has offered this is the Salt Lick over in driftwood.The sauce wasn’t my favorite. I was in the minority on this opinion in our group. It was a standard Texas bbq sauce with coffee grounds added. I tasted them distinctly and didn’t find that they blended well in the sauce.The staff were awesome. It was clear it was a family restaurant and it felt like I joined the family for a meal. They love what they produce and are excited for others to try it out.If ever I am on the area, this is my top spot to stop and I would do it as often as I was in the area. Thank you for quality food and service!

Eager for BBQ on Father's Day I googled this place and it stated open till 6pm. Pulled up to cute Lil building close to Amazon plant and it was closed. I suggest they do better job in updating their hours of operation especially with the cost of gas being so high, who wants to waste a trip?. I even called from parking lot and called and to voice-mail ?‍♀️

My tip: always get the special, always get a pound of brisket. BYOB, so bring something nice to drink. The pecan pie is also spectacular.

5 stars for sure!I go far and wide in Texas to eat great BBQ.This little joint run by Chef Ara Malekian is doing just that.One thing I truly love about experiencing a new (to me) place is differences in flavor profile even when it's basically the same proteins being used everywhere.Something new and different here was the special of the day a BBQ pork shank.I'm gonna dream about this thing.So tender, well rendered, succulent and seasoned so well.All of the meats had great flavor with perfect seasoning, not too salty, everything working in harmony with nothing overbearing or taking over the starring roll, which is the meat.It's about what you'd expect from someone that was an executive chef for Wolfgang Puck.Chef Ara was nice enough to come in and talk to everyone as we waited in line and was a genuine down to earth and funny guy!I will return!If you have a chance to eat that pork shank do not hesitate to push someone out of the way to get one!I'm kidding, ask nicely before shouldering your way past them ?

The food was amazing! Loved the atmosphere and the music.

The coffee rub on the ribs was totally great. The smoky wine I fused oak barrel wood used in smoking was so different. I drove 45 minutes for this and it did not disappoint. The staff was great as well.

Excellent food, sides and desserts. The ambiance is different from other BBQ joints. Harlem Road Texas gives you that vintage feel.

We went in with high expectations because just like anyone else, we read the reviews first and we were craving a loaded baked potato. The potatoes are overpriced and underwhelming. These potatoes do not come with butter, cheese, sour cream, bacon bits and chives. The potato was bland. The Mac and cheese gave tasteless and boring. The meat - brisket, pulled pork and sausage was ok- nothing special. The bbq sauce is too sweet. The different flavors of soda are so good. We also ordered pecan pie which is clearly store bought and just added to the disappointment. Last but not least, the bread pudding which is very off-putting visually was also a big letdown. It tasted like they threw a German chocolate cake into the blender with water and then shaped it into a square. This place should be a last resort for anyone in the mood for bbq.

Without a doubt, the Best BBQ around!
