I love this place and seems like a lot of people agree because everytime I go there craving something specific, the person before always gets the last order because its that good, so you have to intend on going during the early afternoon or placing your order the day before. I always get the loaded baked potatoes with beef brisket or pulled pork. Pros: The meat is always tender and ALWAYS falls off the bone whenever I order the ribs. The meat is also really juicy which is a plus. Cons: The meat could be seasoned a bit more, but you really get that nice smokey flavour which is cool so, not that bad. But I promise, its good. My first impression walking in was a little uneasy because the smell was not so flattering, but it wasnt horrible, after a while its gotten better, but its still there. Its a small and quiet spot next to a nail salon, clothes store, beauty store, plus size store and a Krogers. But i digress, if you have a sweet tooth, they serve the best desserts ever, its always nicely sweet and brings the kid outta you in a pleasant way. The people who work there are so nice too, I always feel at ease talking to them because I have social anxiety. But if youre looking for a hardy place to go to, this is the best BBQ spot I know of.

Though Texas is seen by the inferior 49 as a land of cowboys and shotguns, where BBQ joints line every street and the term "vegetable" is still not fully understood, my experience with Houston BBQ has thus far been limited to legendary joints that require hours of waiting or watered down chain stores where prices are the only thing Texas-sized Thats where Fainmous BBQ comes in. Nestled in an unassuming shopping plaza, this BBQ joint offers BBQ worthy of the state of Texas, despite the fact that the owner is a proud Tennessean. The dinner plates offer a wide range of choices, from the smoky crispness of the sausage to the impeccably juicy brisket, and the many times Ive had Fainmous brisket, Ive been greeted by the tell-tale sign of a perfect smoke ring, indicating a true master chef resides here. Though the interior design is sparse, the quality and price of the BBQ bring more than enough life and energy to this restaurant. Who wouldve thought it would take Tennessee to show Houston how real BBQ is actually done.

After seeing all the great reviews I decided to give Fainmous a try. I had the bbq chicken lunch special with coleslaw. The chicken was a bit dry but they dumped a nice amount of home brewed hot sauce on the wings. One could tell that they were smoked very well and had a nice mellow smokiness throughout. The coleslaw was very nice and had a good creamy dressing on it, I would say a bit above average. The restaurant is buried in the corner of a shopping center, but if you can find it. I would go out of my way to stop by again but if I am in the area I would stop in again to try the ribs and sausage.. The BBQ sauce was very good, the hot bbq sauce was very good with excellent flavor, but the medium was just fine as well.

Oh where to begin. We learned of this place through the Nextdoor app. Boy am I glad we did. We walked into this small clean restaurant and was slammed with the smells of smoked BBQ. As we got to the counter we were happily greeted by a smiling face named Will. Talk about makin ya feel welcome as a new customer who had questions. The food itself was amazing. Super tender and smokey meat that you can tell they took great time and care in preparing. Another seriously note worthy was the prepared in house BBQ sauce. They have different levels of spicy so you can have it however you like it. Long story short amazing food with outstanding friendly service. Highly recommend.

Just wanted to say that this is the BEST DARN BBQ I have ever had!! I just picked up the #1 BBQ packet for family dinner tonight and cant wait to officially eat (I have sampled though). I called the order in mid day and received my order on time at 3pm. Tony (cashier) is WONDERFUL and makes you feel like family. I always feel relaxed to ask questions, and give my opinion. Tonys co-worker is also nice and friendly. If you have not stopped in please do you will not regret it!

Thanks Mr. Fain for giving Houston some good meats !

My daughter and I just ate there this evening. I had a pulled pork sandwich combo, which was delicious. She had the baked potato with pulled pork on it. The potato was fantastic. And the sauces was amazing. My sauce was spicy & sweet, just how I like it. Her sauce was mild and it was delicious. A great place to go eat!

I bought a la carte for a dinner party, and was very pleased with the prompt service. I loved the pulled pork, and the sausage is some of the best in Houston. Tennessee-style barbecue is smokey, sweet, tangy and dry. This is the best! Great prices.

Had the pulled pork sandwich and 1/2 lb of sausage, the sandwhich was amazing, and their vinegar based bbq sauce is to die for. The sausage was good but lacking some flavor but good. A mom and pop bbq joint that i would go back to again and again.

Sandwhich special for lunch is a steal at twice the price. Pulled chicken is spicey, smokey and intense. The pork is all that and tender as can be imagined. Potato salad and slaw taste homemade. Sweet potato pie is perfection. Real food period

Delicious food. Large portions of meat, and very reasonably price. I was not sure what to expect going in, but it was an extremely rewarding experience from first greeting at the door to saying our food byes to the owner on the way out.

Found this place online while looking for the nearest bbq restaurant. Very tasty and the sauce has the right zing to its flavor. Would have given 5stars if they delivered. Major plus for having online ordering service!

Good BBQ, sometimes slow service if they are busy and they do run out of the good stuff regularly. Calling in an order is very recommended as long as they answer the phone...lol. The closest BBQ staple for me.
