Carl's Bar-B-Q
21920 NW Fwy, Cypress, Texas 77429
MY REVIEW: Excellent rustic decor and the people/service was top notch. Loved the ribs, the brisket was as tender as I've ever had. The BBQ sauce was different than I'm used to. It was a little bland for my preference, but the ribs had a nice spicy rub that balanced it all out. Great potato salad but didn't care for the green bean casserole. I fly there from College Station, and Carl's BBQ will be added to my regular spots to visit say 3-5 times a year.

MY REVIEW: Usually delicious beef,turkey and pork loin.. We try to go 1 time a month.
Last Months take out with a coupon was good and a good price. The potato Chow Down has tons of chopped beef and warms and fills you up.

MY REVIEW: Great place for more than just eating lunch or dinner. It has a fish pond for the kids and a small play area. You can eat outside. Drive around back after you eat and you can watch the planes coming and going at a small airport. Worth going if you have a little time. Good food & Texas ambiance.

MY REVIEW: We've gone to Carl's 2-3 times a year for at least 15 years...but I think last Saturday will be my last. The side dishes were great (slaw, banana pudding, loaded mashed potatoes, okra), but the bar-b-que was mediocre, at best. The brisket was flavorful but tough, but the sausage was very greasy (which usually means too little time on the pit) and the pork was totally dried out, like jerky. I like the people, and the sides, but I'm searching for great meat at a bar-b-que joint.

MY REVIEW: Very rustic in decor. The food is good, the service varies. The last time, the service was not good at all, but the food still was.

MY REVIEW: I started eating at Carl's after having it served up at the gun range. I never have encountered the rude employees. The food, especially the sausage and the hot potato salad is to die for. I think my chocolate pie is better, but it wasn't bad. This place is worth the drive and the cost of gas. The hamburgers aren't bad either. I always have my food as take out, and there has never been a problem with the order. This is my new best bbq place.

MY REVIEW: Fifteen years is how long I've been going to Carl's. Only once was a cashier rude to me (disagreement over a coupon). The people behind the counter have been there for years and are always friendly. Service (as long as you order bbq) is super fast and accurate. Food quality and portion is excellent. If you have any problems, ask for Carl, he's there a lot and a heck of a nice guy.

MY REVIEW: This place is my favorite place for BBQ. The sauce is delicious and sweet and reminds me of baked beans, the hot baked potato salad is to die for, and they're always friendly and accomodating. Great work Carl's!

MY REVIEW: This place has gone down hill. Brisket taste's like it came out of a oven, not a pit. The meat was dry and the servings are small. Don't order the sausage either, it's full of fat filler, not meat.

MY REVIEW: We been there a time or two. It's not very friendly of places. This time as well of last couple of times the meat was very dry. They do need to work on the taste of the bbq sauce.

MY REVIEW: We have visited Carl's 6-8 times over the last 5 years. Our first few visits we thought the food was great, but since the quality has declined. We keep hoping it will get better. I too am turned off by the less-than-Texas-friendly staff. (Do they really expect a tip at a cafeteria line?). They seem to do a steady business. But there are other BBQ joints 5-10 minutes away. L*yndons at Hollister comes to mind & is far better. Maybe we will give it one more try in the future to see if it improves.

MY REVIEW: The food was okay. The service was almost too fast. They don't give you time to overlook the menu. Being rushed and yelled at is not customer service. Are these employees trained about representation,courtesy,customer service? It has a cafeteria amostphere. Don't compromise your customers Carl!
