I’m in Houston for a business trip.Wanted BBQ for lunch that was downtown and walkable. Ended up here. Got the 1951 special. Two meats, two sides, fountain drink. Got the brisket, pork ribs, potato salad and the broccoli cheese bake. The brisket showed a nice smoke ring and a nice beefy flavor. The pork ribs had a good smoke tang but had been sitting in the pan for awhile and were dried out. The sides? Oof. Potato salad was made from frozen, bagged potato cubes, overly sweet with negligible flavor and no crunch. Broccoli (?) Cheese bake maybe had a broccoli stalk waved over the stock pot while being prepared. None found in my side. Powdered cheese, lots of rice. Gloppy. The BBQ sauce? Ketchup, tomato sauce, sugar, more sugar, maybe some worsterchestershire sauce. Dunno. Not good.

Solid burgers and ok barbeque. Prices are reasonable ($10ish for double cheeseburger, fries and a drink) and they’re pretty quick with orders (5-10mins). Fries are cooked ok but unseasoned (no salt) and so are pretty bland. Barbeque is also pretty average and is not what most people order because of that.

I left my purse at the restaurant. When I called to ask if anyone had found it the person on the phone assured me it had not been turned in. I asked if she would please look under the table where I was sitting. She refused, stating she had already told me the purse was not there. I went back to the restaurant and lo and behold my purse was there. Obviously the rude employee intended to steal my purse as she was leaving work for the day. I will never return to this establishment. NEVER. Rude and I can only assume one thief as an employee. That cannot be good for business. Food is mediocre at best. 10/30/15

Great breakfast tacos. Lunch special of the day is good… But the BBQ sauce totally sucks. Sauce is basically ketchup mixed with beef broth. Meatloaf sauce isn’t great either. I don’t like the Fry’s much either… Wow. This review is a lot worse than I intended.

If i could give 0 stars i would. I ordered the chicken nuggets basket with fries and i got my order a little too fast. I thought nothing of it. I take a bite of one of my nuggets and immediately get this rancid old smell like it had been sitting out for days. I almost through up on the spot. The nugget smelled rotten. I will never ever eat at this place again.

NASTY…Yesterday morning 08.20.2014, I found a foreign article (material) in my egg and cheese breakfast burrito. I felt a rubbery article (material) as I took my second bite, and so I spit it out onto the rapper. I immediately brought it to the attention of the African American employee (older light complexion female), and she said that she didn’t know what it was after she examined it. I told her that I wanted it back as she took the rapper back into the kitchen to ask the kitchen personnel (Ms. Ado and others). They speculated that it was probably the skin of an onion after some debate (more like an argument). Frustrated, one of the kitchen personnel hurriedly stanched up the rapper contain the remains of my burrito / foreign article and threw them both in the garbage. Upset that they had thrown away the burrito / foreign article, I explained that I wanted to re-examine it. They apologized, gave me the refund that I requested, and the manager asked me to give them another chance later. I DON’T THINK SO! Y’ALL NASTY!!!

Love this place, their burgers, BBQ and chicken are good, fries, not so much. Great customer service and my food is always hot. Over all, they can continue to get my $$

Visited the Downtown Aquarium and wanted some great barbecue; Otto’s was within the vicinity. Upon discovering the location was a food court, I became discouraged, but we soon discovered their food and service were excellent. The double-meat, old-fashioned po’boy sandwich was excellent. The selection of meats and combinations was convenient. I treated myself and three others for around $40.
