Yearby's Barbecue & Waterice

Wanted to check this place out since it just arrived recently and looked fire! I later learned it was a top 50 place on Texas Monthly which is amazing to know. I have been to locals like Hutchins, Pecan Lodge, Winners BBQ, Cattleack, Panther City, and further out ones like Daynes and Intersteller. This place deserves a spot among the best of them! The owners' origins are very interesting! The waterice was a nice smooth texture vs like the usual crushed ice around here. (I still think Bingsu is top but im biased). I like that its Halal as that brings TX BBQ to a broader audience as well. My friend and I shared a beef rib, brisket, their sausage, and mac and everything was super delicious. The brisket had a good kick to it, made me wonder if it had some sort of spice besides the traditional black pepper. Beef rib and brisket were melt in your mouth perfect, I got us moist (preferred choice). The sausage and mac have been the best ive tried at any BBQ place. Most of the time, sausage is dry when I try them but this was juicy as heck! I wanted to go back for more but we were so full. The Mac was also top tier, flavors were amazing and I loved the texture of the sauce (if that makes sense), not too drowned in cheese but thicker and it clung to the macaroni better. The banana pudding and waterice were just hitting so well after that meal. Both were spectactular.

This place is soo good! Places like this are what make Texas known for brisket and bbq. As soon as you park and start walking up to the restaurant the smell of brisket engulfs you. The lady at the counter when ordering greets you with a smile. The food was phenomenal. We ate so much, and we had plenty to take home as well. Everything tasted so fresh. The brisket had the perfect smoke flavor. The dino ribs were enough for two people each. The brisket Mac and cheese was cheesy and flavorful. The owner met us afterwards and we chatted with him as well. We will definitely be back!!

Everything was great - meat - sides - dessert! Real banana pudding! This place deserves a better rating than 50 on the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ places. I'm thinking TOP 20!! Worth the trip!
