What People Say
Most Liked
Meat lovers rave about the brisket, which melts in the mouth and encapsulates the essence of 'low and slow' cooking. The ribs, tender and juicy, also receive high praise, often flying off the menu before the end of the day. I appreciate the diverse beer selection, perfect for pairing with the rich flavors of barbecue. Diners also enjoy the delightful atmosphere created by the live DJ and music events. They often describe feeling like part of a big family here, even if they come alone, which adds to the community spirit of the place.
The outdoor seating is a favorite for many patrons, providing a casual and comfortable dining experience, especially on weekend evenings. Happy hour specials are another highlight; they keep the vibe fun without stretching the budget too far. Overall, the blend of authentic barbecue flavors, live music, and returning customers creates an environment that feels both welcoming and festive.
Most Disliked
Despite the overwhelming love for the food and atmosphere, some customers mention that items can sometimes sell out by late afternoon, especially on weekends. Visitors often recommend arriving early to avoid disappointment when the brisket or ribs run out.
Another noted issue involves the peak hours; it tends to get extremely crowded, particularly on Friday nights. While the bustling environment adds to the vibe, the wait times for seating and food can extend significantly during these busy periods. A few diners also point out that the casual decor might not suit those seeking a more upscale dining experience. However, this casual charm is actually what draws many back.

"Incredible barbecue. The meat is incredibly tender, with that deep smoky flavor and a perfect crust. Pure delight in every bite, this style of barbecue is an art, the 'low and slow' is noticeable in every fiber: juicy, flavorful and with just the right amount of smoke, a barbecue experience you won't forget, exceptional barbecue. Authentic smoky flavor, meat that melts in your mouth. The definition of comfort and flavor. Absolutely brilliant!

You have to here early before they sell out of alot of items on the menu...the weekends here are awesome...I'm a Mexican and it's a black owned and black crowd but I felt at home as we should here...we were like family dancing, eating, and having a good time...try anything here and I promise you'll like it...if you go on a weekend make sure you stay for the music and fun..

I ordered this on Uber Eats to deliver in San Leon late. I’m talking after midnight. Not a lot was open so I gave it a shot. Never heard of it. T-Bone Toms, look out! I got the ribs, sausage and brisket and a link of boudin with potato salad. I hadn’t eaten all day. I was in pure heaven. Everything was on point and delicious. Of course I have leftovers. Thank you for a perfect meal and for being open late! We need these good choices! Delish!

1st time going to this place, 2PM on a Sunday. The man behind the counter was courteous and helpful suggesting a meal. He let me know they're open till 5pm on Sundays. I went with the rib and brisket combo with Mac n cheese, potato salad for the sides and a can of soda. It also comes with BBQ sauce, a small side of pickles and 2 slices of bread. RIBS = AMAZING! 👏🙌🙏. Moist and tender with the perfect amount of smoke and spice. Everything was good. Brisket was a little dry but tasted great. Mac was creamy and seasoned well. Potato salad was cool, crisp, fresh and tangy. BBQ sauce was just the right amount of sweet and spice, it's got a little kick to it. Needless to say I'll definitely be back for a rib plate. Thanks Wrice BBQ for a great experience! See you next time. [See pics]
