“Brisket was moist and cooked to perfection. The potato salad was the best blend of fresh ingredients. The green beans were tender and the bbq sauce gave it just the right compliment. Wonderful experience in taste. Dine in with mask. Everyone was very courteous and conscientious. 5 stars indeed.” – Lyn Jenkins

”This was my first time at Gatlin’s. I had brisket, ribs, and sausage. Each were excellent!! The brisket was very moist, and the ribs were “fall off the bone” good. I also had mac and cheese and collard greens as sides. Both were very good! My wife had the pulled pork sandwich, and she said it was very good. The staff were all friendly. This was a great lunch!” – Tim Thompson

”Came here, and saw they had a drive thru, which was convenient. Got a loaded potato with brisket meat. Meat and potato tasted very good, but the barbeque sauce did not seem to have a very distinctive taste. Overall, though, it was good food. Service was fast and friendly. Glad I came here.” – Derek Gantt

”In Houston that is like asking which kid is your favorite. Each one is fantastic and they all have individual attributes that make them special. We are very blessed in Houston to have quite a few “favorite” places. But I seem to find myself at Roegels Barbecue Co. more often than others. I can still remember the very first bite of Russell Roegels brisket. I took several years ago. Always consistent always good.” – Robert Gross
