Luling City Market in Houston

Great friendly service and great fresh food!

We drove a hour away , just thinking about brisket and looked this place up and saw a four star rating but this place is a waste of your money.We walked in and the owner was at the bar working and didn’t even say Hi, that should of been a sign and we should of walked back out but like I said we wanted some brisket.We got in one line and felt rushed and couldn’t get a good idea what my husband wanted but I knew I wanted brisket so I ordered a one meat plate with brisket and my husband wanted a two meat plate but didn’t have it, had to order a one meat plate then order any other meat as a ala arte which we got chicken.My husband ordered brisket plate also and ordered chicken as a alacarte.The plate comes with 2 sides so we got potato salad, coleslaw and beans.Let’s start with the food the brisket was so dry on both plates that we had to use a lot of bbq sauce.The chicken was smoked , I guess but it was also dried and that is my husband favorite thing was chicken but not that chicken.The beans didn’t have any flavor or even juice to not make them so dry.The potato salad was good and my husband said the coleslaw was okay.We got two waters and two jalapeños. We paid $49 dollars and some change.We we’re very very disappointed on our food but it was paid for already so of course we ate it but we will not be going back or recommending this place to anyone.Waste of or time and money.

I love good BBQ and my family frequently eats out at several different BBQ restaurants in the Houston area. Luling City Market has been my absolute favorite of ALL Houston’s BBQ restaurants for a long, long time.In overall ranking, Luling City Mkt is would be #1; Killen’s BBQ in Pearland #2; Coopers BBQ in Katy #3Yesterday, however, I was so disappointed to find, for the first time EVER, the brisket at Luling City Market far below the standard. It’s was dry, tough, and hardly worth the effort, …much less the cost at $62 for a lunch for two.Everybody and/or restaurant has an “off” day occasionally, I understand. But, I’m not a typical complainer, either. In my life, this is only the 2nd review I’ve written, good or bad. I will be back again, someday but, sixteen miles is a lon...
