Only disappointment. We came from GA for a cruise hearing how good Texas Beef Ribs are. We decided on this place because it wasn’t far. First, we walk up and there is no smell of BBQ outside. That should have been sign enough but we decided to try it anyway but thankfully, we did not to over do it because it was so plain Jane.
We walk in and can smell something. Nothing that says this is going to taste real good though. As soon as we ordered, 20 seconds later our food was ready. I ordered the 2 meat plate ($17): upgraded 1 meat for beef ribs (+$3) and beef brisket, beans and mac and cheese. It comes with two slices of white bread.
The beef rib texture was good – it came right off the bone with little effort. It was not hot though, maybe room temperature. Why do people serve food that is not hot? I don’t know. Then it was essentially tasteless. The BBQ sauce flavor was non existent. It needed salt. Actually, everything needed salt. The brisket was dry, dry, dry. It tasted old and also not hot either. both the ribs and brisket had “BBQ” sauce poured over it that was the consistency of gravy… I didn’t get the made from scratch taste. The mac and cheese was ok. I appreciated it was actual cheese. It needed salt also. If someone could just add salt and bake this mac and cheese it would taste so much better. My son refused to eat the beans (he LOVES baked beans). I don’t like beans so I didn’t try them. I did not eat the bread. I later see they have cornbread which I asked about but she acted like they didn’t have any before so they switched the bread for cornbread. The cornbread was DISGUSTING. It was kind of damp looking on the bottom but yet dry in the middle? How does one achieve that?? Still questioning. It was so old and gross tasting I just threw it in the garbage.
I didn’t photograph my husband’s plate. He got the Sampler plate ($22) with brisket, beef sausage, ham and pork rib. His pork rib was cold/room temp with not a lot of meat. Same for the beef sausage: dry and cold. He said the ham tasted good but also cold.
Sweet tea was good, sprite was good. The cup was very big!!
Maybe at a 4.5 or higher the food is actually good. I make much better tasting ribs at home. Anywhere in Atlanta sells better tasting ribs. It was all just so disappointing. I would never return to this place.
Maybe if you actually get a fresh rib that was just made it may be worth it. You should call in advance though. Everything tasted like it was left over from days ago. We arrived around 2pm so there is literally no reason why it wasn’t fresh. Do you make this food every day??? Please start. How do you have a 4 star rating? I can’t recommend anything here…. We honestly deserve a refund. Parking lot/ shopping center was dirty and run down looking. Asphalt was not maintained and had oil stains.
Summary: food tastes old, served at room temperature, meat is dry and needs salt. Mac and cheese is decent if warm but still needs salt. Beans repel children. Cornbread is inedible. Don’t eat here.

Simply put… this food was AWFUL. It had absolutely no flavor, the sauce was watery, the drink was watered down, I think the bread was old, and the brisket was so dry I had to spit it out. The beans came out of a can and the potato salad had no seasoning and was soupy. I really wanted to give it a shot… but soon as I got home… I started regretting eating there. It’s also in the hood.. While I was eating… this man walked up behind me like he was doing a drug transaction and handed me a flyer to attend a party. I did NOT feel comfortable. I’m tired of food influencers straight up LYING about these restaurants.

My friend asked why order a burger at a BBQ place ?
Because I remember it being really good.. I was sorely disappointed
I can only guess the meat was frozen and still frozen after it was cooked because it was rock hard
As you can see by the picture it was a perfect cut the burger just stayed solid not to mention the overly toasted bun , it was basically toast
My buddy ordered the 1/2 chk and loved it oh well

See You At The Top Law
We visited Hungry Farmer Barbecue and were reminded how small businesses make Houston shine. The care they put into every plate, combined with the welcoming environment, reflects a dedication to the community that aligns with everything we value. A must-visit for anyone looking to experience local flavor and heart.

Let me start by saying I have been coming to this restaurant for over 25 years. I went tobplace a to go order and my bill was $75! I was shocked because I ordered 3 sandwiches and 2 baked potatoes. I asked several times for a detailed receipt and was not provided one. When I got home, i discovered why my bill was so high, I was charger $15 for baked potatoes with meat (which is not what I had irdered) I called the manager, Hibiscus, who would not do anything for me. He said unless you say no meat when you order your baked potatoes, you will get meat (even though I was not asked what type of neat I wanted) if I had been given my receipt In the restaurant. I would have been able to correct the situation. My lesson, first I will NEVER go back and second, check your food before you leave the restaurant. I have never been to a place that refuses to give you a detailed receipt, mine was hidden in the food bad!!

I usually get a burger because the flavor is really good. However I have 2 big gripes about the burger meal.
1. The poppyseed bun top you use falls apart while eating. Not sure if it’s because of the bun quality or how you store it but its annoying to eat a good burger and the top is flaky and falling apart. Get a better bun!
2. Love the flavor of your fries, but why are they always chopped so short? Fries need to be eaten with your hands, not with a fork. Your fries require a fork, otherwise you’ll be dipping your hand in ketchup which gets annoying.
I attached a pic which shows the burger upside down. I didn’t get a pic of the top. It was so messy and annoying to keep having to use 2 paper towels between bites because the top falls apart.

The taste was blah, the bbq sauce was watery and tasteless. This is my first time eating here which was recommended by a Hispanic lady friend (I am Hispanic too). It is big patotato and it cost $4 less then Pappas but I would not recommend this place. Reviews are important.

The food portions were fantastic, flavor was good but the brisket was very dry. I asked for a to go drink and was told that it would be four additional dollars for a to-go cup buy a rude, sarcastic employee employee. Nothing to write home about

The food is terrible, and I might add that my chopped beef sandwich was served cold. The coleslaw tasted like it came from an old refrigerator. I remember this place used to serve the best BBQ in town… but not anymore.

Sadly this place has just gone downhill. The waitresses are new and nice, def miss the old employees, nothing against them. The food is just bad, I’ve ordered multiple times, baked potatoes, sliced beef baskets, and it’s always bad lately. The baked potatoes are so over cooked, the potatoes taste like dry sand, even with extra condiments. Same with the brisket, it’s so dry, even with extra bbq sauce. We’re going to take a break and come back in a few months in hopes that they might see these reviews, and decline in customers and retry a few things.
