Burns Bistro

This Burns Bistro opened over 3 years ago on July 3, 2021 (if I remember correctly) as a pilot project. It is located inside the Marketplace Kroger in Summerwood. And has been a hit since day one. Usually, customers call in their order for pickup and carryout. You also have the option of walking in and placing an order, eat inside in the designated air conditioned deli dining area or outside on the covered patio area with outdoor fans. If you want catering (which they do), it is my understanding that you call the original Burns to make arrangements. Today I tried the Regular Link Sandwich with a small side of macaroni & cheese. I like the fact that they serve pickles, onions, and their own Burns BBQ sauce on the side. The sauce is really awesome! (And can be purchased in the deli.) Makes the whole meal. And they carry their own signature drinks in a cold case display. They do load up the meat on their sandwiches. As for the macaroni & cheese; a little over the top with the pepper today, at least for me, but still good. Oh, they are closed Monday and Tuesday.

I’ll let you all be the judge. I went in and ordered a three meat plate. They said they had sold out because it was after lunch and close to closing time but the fact that they didn’t have any containers and just power meat or just one little to go container and wrapped in the foil was kind of why I gave them a low rating. The food is phenomenal. I love the barbecue, but the presentation of my to go plate really disappointed me. I also asked for onions and pickles and was given a little self-serve cup to go for three meat plate. I thought that was kind of funny also. But I love the food.

I will never eat here again. I ordered a two meat plate and a chopped beef baked potato for my son on Tuesday. We are just recovering from getting ill from this. I believe it was the potato because I tried his. Never again. My stomach still hurts.

I ordered a slice beef sandwich and the beef was not done. It was too thick and tough. The fatty part was not done. I was very disappointed. Triple J's Barbecue is the best. You try to support the black restaurants but some of them have bad food. I was at the location off of the belt way and west lake Houston in humble. Do nOT buy their food its horribly.

The two girls that worked today 11/22 have the worse attitude and very unapologetic for their mistake they made. A good corner part of the bake potato broke apart as the girl prepared it and she continue to prepare as normal . When she proceeded to give it to me I question her on it and she had the worse attitude including the girl that always have some type of bandanna on her head and her response was with an attitude instead of asking me as the customer on what was going on and being apologetic. Myself and including another customer that ordered more food had to go to customer service to request refunds for the poor service received

My uncle came here to pick up three brisket sandwiches and I don’t know why I thought burns bbq was gonna taste anything similar to BUCKYS , but the fact the bbq tasted absolutely nothing like any place that has any flavor is ridiculous. All of yall need to get yall black card and Texas card snatched from yall for even thinking about serving any of that bland brisket. The bbq sauce that came with the brisket tasted like yall ran out of bbq sauce so yall stretched it with some baked bean juice!!! I don’t know if yall think everyone up here paying in foodstamps but if that’s the case there are people out here that is paying with their hard earned money for some garbage . Y’all need to do better!!!

S/o to this location for coming thru in the clutch. I had placed an order online to pick up at the depriest location (my go-to). When I arrived the location was unusually closed...middle of day on a Saturday. Probably an unexpected happening. So I drove to Atascocita & took the risk to see if they had enough meat to cover my order esp since my card was already charged. They looked at my online receipt & took care of the order for me! Just in time for my party. So grateful for them!

Criminal ! Wife picked us up 2 sliced brisket sandwiches , Mac & Cheese and a banana pudding. The pudding tasted of chemicals , the M&C was uneatable and then there was the sandwiches. Probably almost 1lb per sandwich which I couldn’t believe , easily enough meat for 2 sandwiches. But the meat couldn’t be chewed ! I can bite through leather but could only get through about half the slices. My wife threw hers in the trash because she can’t chew through leather. My pit bull terrier couldn’t chew it ! She ate by swallowing a couple pieces and brought 2 pieces back and laid at my feet. I’ve never seen anything like it ! Never go/come here , ever !!! In picture are pieces myself then my dog tried to eat unsuccessfully. Chips were a personal add after tasting the M&C again - uneatable !
