The Original Rib Tickler

I love the name so I had to try the ribs lol The line was long and it was hard to find a table but we got one so be prepared for that. I enjoyed my ribs. The meat fell off the bone so it was perfect! My green beans were good but the fruit wasn’t sweet. I should’ve gotten a different side but I was full by the time I tried it and didn’t want to deal with the line again. My husband had the chopped beef potato and he was happy. Brisket bombs are spicy but worth it. Overall not a bad experience.

It had been a very long time since I had been here. I wasn’t aware of the ownership change. I did notice the change in decor, it used to feel welcoming and now it feels like something was lost. The ambience is gone. Now to the food, the ribs were tough and the there is toooooo much cumin. I knew kinda right away the ribs were different it tasted nothing like smoked ribs. It has a terrible glaze. The brisket was dry and flavor less. I just left it there on the plate. Couldn’t eat it, frozen okra was good. I’m sorry for this review and I’m terribly sorry Tomball lost a piece of home by losing a true place of bbq. Last time coming here. Thank you for the memories.

Recent experiences at this establishment suggest a decline in quality. The meat, particularly the brisket, exhibits a noticeable difference in taste and texture, with the moist cut appearing less tender. It's almost as if the person cutting the meat throws in the lean cuts anyway. I'm very simple: a pound of moist cut beef with pickles. Every time, I still get the onions, bread, and sauce. Furthermore, the level of service has seemingly diminished. While the staff remains polite, the overall experience does not match previous standards. This location was once a preferred destination for brisket; however, current conditions necessitate improvement. It is hoped that operational adjustments will restore the quality previously enjoyed. Update: August 21, 2025. Despite my hopes, I am disappoin

I ordered through Uber Eats, so I can't speak to the atmosphere. The food was fantastic though. The brisket was perfectly cooked. I asked for extra moist and that's exactly what I got. The BBQ beans were sooo good. The okra was packaged separately and was still crispy when it got here. My son got the chopped beef sandwich and it was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be eating here again!

Been going here for years and every single time it's been a 10/10 for me! When I got the regular sausage, they gave me free samples of the spicier one since I was deciding which to choose. I usually always get the chopped meat potato and man, I could eat that once a week for the rest of my life and never be sick of it. Great service, kind staff, delicious food and always a great heaping serving of chopped beef on my potato! 🫶🏼💕 I also love their puddings
