Chopped brisket sandwich was amazing, was enough brisket to make two sandwiches. Mac and cheese was out of this world good. Bbq sauce had just the right amount of kick. You definitely have to try this place.

I went to Space City BBQ Saturday at around 12:30 PM. There were a couple of people waiting for their food and no line. I went to order and the lady at the window was extremely kind and explained everything on the menu super thoroughly. I ordered the 3 meat 2 side plate with brisket, burnt ends, and ribs and sides of potato salad and corn dressing. I also got an extra side of mac. I waited about 10 minutes for my food, not long at all, and carried out. When I got home the food was still warm and the brisket and ribs were delicious and juicy with the perfect amount of flavor. The burnt ends fell flat, however, which were extremely salty. Not a big deal because the sides were seriously unreal. The mac and cheese was so creamy with a nice little kick at the end, the potato salad was onion heavy and fresh tasting, and the corn dressing had such a soft texture with a nice savoriness. I will definitely be coming back here, probably just for the sides and some brisket.

Mid food across the board. Comparable to Lubys. Won't be returning. I wanted to try the burnt ends, but apparently they were sold out. I had a brisket plate with potato salad and mac n cheese. The brisket was good, the sauce was great. But the sides were not a hit for me. The mac tasted like cheese whiz and the spiral noodles could have been more tender. The potato salad was bland in my opinion and could've used some sweet relish or something I suppose. My wife also had the sausage which to me seemed overly spicy but the corn dressing we agreed was good. My daughter had the tacos which she said after the first couple bites "it's just alright". Service was very polite and friendly. This is all just my honest opinion and in no means am I trying to offend.

You might have to brave the Houston heat and humidity, but this Texas Monthly Top 100 BBQ award winner is a food truck with real potential. The spot has a lot going for it, even if a few tweaks could land it in the top 50. The brisket was a highlight—moist, delicious, and seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic (SPG), letting the quality of the meat shine through. The ribs had a good pull and weren't too "hammy" for a spare rib, though I found the garlic seasoning a bit heavy. The pork belly burnt ends were a great cut of meat, with a rich, buttery flavor and a savory fat cap. While they were good, I personally prefer a sweeter burnt end with less garlic. The jalapeño and cheese sausage was my least favorite of the meal. The double-grind texture was nice, but it lacked a rich, deep flavor, and the use of a white cheese instead of the traditional cheddar was an unexpected choice. As for the sides, the cornbread casserole was a delicious and mild-flavored classic. The pinto beans were a standout, packed with flavor and elevated by the inclusion of pork belly burnt ends mixed in. Overall, this is a very good barbecue spot, but it leans a bit heavily on garlic in its seasoning. I'd definitely recommend checking it out, especially when the weather is a bit cooler.

Finally got to stop in and try this BBQ food truck, it did not disappoint. Since it was our first time we basically ordered a little of everything including some specials. Ordered the Big Back Box which is a sample platter consisting of 2 meats( I did brisket & turkey) a burger, sausage link a boudain link and two sides.( I did mac & cheese and cornbread casserole) Also ordered the pulled pork grilled cheese, peach tea glazed burnt ends and a 1/2 rack of ribs. Everything we tried was out of this world, pun intended. I'd definitely recommend the burnt ends, super flavorful and tender. The cornbread casserole was delicious and not dry at all. The brisket had a nice bark and taste, the turkey had a great flavor and juicy. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone BBQ lovers.
