The Meating Place Bbq Magnolia

I stopped in here recently on a trip into Texas when traveling between Houston and College Station. I’m glad I did because they have some tasty BBQ. I wanted to get a good sampling of all their meats so I chose the four meat platter. It was quite tasty. I enjoyed their brisket which was tender, smoky, and tasty. That was probably the best of the four. Next the ribs were really good. They had a nice bark and just a drizzle of tasty BBQ sauce which hit the spot. Close behind that was their chicken. It was very tender and juicy and had great flavor. In fourth place was the pork. It wasn’t bad but just not as good as the other three. The sauce was a definite help for the pork. I really enjoyed the twisty fries as they were different and were pretty good as well. Overall I enjoyed this place quite a bit. Needless to say after eating lunch here I didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day! I was stuffed! The staff was super friendly and helpful when I place my order and provided great service while I was here. FYI be careful how you drive to this place as it is right at the merge point between two roads.

The Meating Place BBQ offers delicious catering! Rachel is awesome to work with; she’s very responsive, helpful in decision-making, and provides friendly customer service! We enjoyed a fantastic taco bar with brisket, pulled pork, and of course their amazing queso! Thank you for making our family’s holiday celebration a great one!

Seriously!!! Kind of hate to tell y’all but barbecue doesn’t get better than this. We tried the Loaded Brisket Baked Potato and the Sample plate (four meats) with pulled pork, ribs, sausage, and turkey. We’ve been to barbecue places in Austin, Dallas, Hutchins in Frisco, and Houston. This is hands down the best. The service was fantastic and the staff kept checking to see how we were doing. The sauce was the perfect blend of hot, tangy, & sweet. Lauren Daigel music was playing in the background; the venue was rustic. Prices were typical barbecue prices so $$$. We’ll be back for sure.

The Fried Mushrooms with jalapeno Ranch dip was so good. I also got the baked potato special, also really good.

The barbecue pulled pork potato was EVERYTHING!! It was such a huge portion, but I could not stop eating it because it was beyond delicious! This is the best barbecue place I’ve been to!! Everything was cooked to perfection. All the employees were so nice and patient since it was my first time here. I loved the environment and I appreciated employees coming to our table and asking if everything was good. I honestly wish I could come here every day of the week to try everything they have to offer! I would highly recommend this place again and again! **UPDATE: I had to change my initial rating from five stars to four stars for the following. The bacon cheeseburger was just average, and had way too much mustard on it. I asked for a small size of fries, and I literally only got four fries. The kids portion had more fries than the small side did. Also, I didn’t like how they charged $.50 for a water cup, and their a bakery items are very pricey. It was about eight dollars per slice.**
