I pulled up around 11:30 am. Had a friend tell me that I needed to try this BBQ place out. So glad I did 😊. The food was Great I ordered 1 Meat and 2 Sides for 13$. I got Sliced Brisket, Beans, and French Fries 🍟. It comes with a couple of slices of bread 🍞, pickles 🥒, Onion 🧅, jalapeno 🌶️, and BBQ Sauce is on the Table HOT and steaming. The Brisket was Moist and had great flavor with or without BBQ Sauce. The beans seem to have a great smoke taste and not sweet at all. The Fries 🍟 were crispy and had a unique seasoning. The atmosphere is your typical Texans country old Barn look nice and cozy, they even have a back patio to go out and enjoy the weather 🌡️ when it's good 😆. One thing I will say that needs improvement is the Bathroom situation it's only one toilet and the door don't close all the way so the people outside can see you thru the crack. Also there is NO HAND SOAP, there is a soap dispenser but that don't work. Overall had a good time here at Old Tomball BBQ, I will come back when in the area.

Went on a Sunday. The place has the feel of authentic 'hole in the wall' BBQ shack. I got a 3 meat plate with 2 sides. The brisket was above average. Moist and the fat melted in your mouth. Had decent flavor but definitely benefitted from some sauce, which was warmed up and already on the table. The ribs were good. One of mine was from the end and was a little dry and not a lot of meat. The other one had plenty of meat. The meat was tender and came right off the bone, but again was a little lacking in flavor without some added sauce. The spicy sausage was a letdown. It looked really good, but like the ribs was lacking in flavor, even with the jalapenos. The mac and cheese was warm and creamy, with lots of cheese sauce, but nothing else. So, it was kind of plain. Kids will love it though. The fries were really good, made to order, so they came out hot and were well seasoned, but they don't have ketchup in bottles. So, you're forced to tear and squeeze little packets of ketchup, which I hate! The wife got potato salad and fried okra. Both of those were decent, but she wanted ranch for the okra and they didn't have any. As for the service, everyone was friendly enough, but they have a sign that says to leave your trays on the table, but they don't clean the tables quickly enough, and we saw several frustrated customers trying to find a table inside, because they were all dirty. They have an outdoor seating area, but I can't speak for that part. Price ended up being a little over $40, for 2 people. All in all, nothing about this place was bad, but nothing really makes me want to go back at that price. There are better BBQ places in the area.

*First things before we get into the food, the price per servings was spot on. We were looking for a BBQ restaurant to try, and Old Tomball BBQ popped up on the radar with a good rating. Me and the wife got the loaded baked potato with chopped beef, and the kids got the one meat brisket plate. Everything was good, and the BBQ sauce was warm and spot on with taste. The brisket was missing a little something but was tasty and warm. The team cut a fresh brisket, the bark looked excellent, and the chopped beef for our potatoes was chopped on the spot. The atmosphere was nice as it reminds me of an old BBQ joint. It was hard to get a good photo, but it's definitely worth a try and will go back to try other foods.

The food is so good! The brisket, pork ribs and sausage is what we tried and it was all moist, not dried out at all with awesome flavor. The macaroni and green beans were very good too. I am glad to have finally found BBQ that reminds me of BBQ we get in the hill country! Because chain restaurants do not ever compare. Fast and friendly service too.

We only tried the pulled pork, and when my wife asked to have less fat while the guy shredded the meat, he kinda turned up his nose... Like it was off putting to ask for some pieces with less fat. Other that that, the food was good... While there a few people came in for brisket, so we will have to come next time. Place is rated pretty well, and I guess I expected a little more... But other than the young man behind the counter turning up his nose to my wife... It was ok. We will be back regardless, it's between my son's house and ours.

THE BEST BBQ in Tomball; If you are wanting real old style bbq than Old Tomball BBQ is for you. They are family operated and owned. They make their own sauce. Country music plays throughout the restaurant. They have a covered patio for outside seating. The restrooms are clean. Every item on the menu is delicious. My family has been eating here since 1994. Stop in and try it for yourself. You will love it. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Delicious food, nice, cozy place. Prices are reasonable, good portions. One little complaint: you only get 1 slice of bread, and it was pretty hard, not fresh. I hope next time I get 2 slices.....I love my brisket and potato salad sandwich 🍞 😋 ❤️ Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Brisket Ribs and Sausage
