BBQ sauce seems to be based on personal preference. I am not as big on the sauce as I am on places actually being able to slow cook their brisket & have it be tender & tasty instead of stringy & rubbery. I actually enjoy Papa's bbq sauce, and never cared for Sugar's (only one close to Spring is Greenspoint, which is Houston, not Spring). Have you tried Rudy's yet at Loutta & 45, their sauce is spicy & has a little heat to it. Not my preference, but the quality of food is decent and the price is nice....you can get a pretty thick sliced beef sammich for like $3.95.

You ever go to Central Texas near the track? They have decent BBQ there, too.

The best BBQ I've had in this area is at Red River in League City right before 270.

Pro tip: Take your own BBQ sauce if you are that picky

And yes, I agree, the sauce makes the Q....but I happen to think Papas is pretty good, although I really prefer a thicker, smokey, sauce with brown sugar & honey in it. Some day I'm going to develop my own recipe for sauce.

I like Rudy's alot, I've heard good things about RailRoad Crossing BBQ on old hempstead. Also I like Gabby's BBQ. On the south side, Central BBQ is good as is Joe's in Alvin. Never tried Red River in League City, but wanted to try it.

We've had Tin Roof catered here at work that was quite tasty & a coworker said they ate at their place in Humble & enjoyed it. I may have to drive over to Humble & dine in when I get some free time.

I went to eat at that place a few fridays ago and the food was pretty good, and you get ALOT. They had an outdoor patio and there were a couple guys there singin some old country music, small dance floor too. Pretty nice little place and a fun atmosphere, they have a playground outside for the kids as well.
