Wrice BBQ

We were on our e-bikes, RVing from 🇨🇦, so wanted to check out Texas City. We found Wrice BBQ, loved the "garage converted to an eatery", sat outside, chatted with the owner. Got the history of the town, enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich. Would highly recommend if you want a relaxed, outdoor meal. Washroom was super clean.

We really wanted some Barbecue & it being New Year’s Eve everybody was sold out, but Wrice in TC. So we tried it & wish we didn’t… Shorted us the brisket & sausage was so thinly sliced. Dirty rice was very nasty & beans had some kind of stringy meat in it. We will NOT be going back to this place on 6th street Texas City, Texas

"Incredible barbecue. The meat is incredibly tender, with that deep smoky flavor and a perfect crust. Pure delight in every bite, this style of barbecue is an art, the 'low and slow' is noticeable in every fiber: juicy, flavorful and with just the right amount of smoke, a barbecue experience you won't forget, exceptional barbecue. Authentic smoky flavor, meat that melts in your mouth. The definition of comfort and flavor. Absolutely brilliant!

You have to here early before they sell out of alot of items on the menu...the weekends here are awesome...I'm a Mexican and it's a black owned and black crowd but I felt at home as we should here...we were like family dancing, eating, and having a good time...try anything here and I promise you'll like it...if you go on a weekend make sure you stay for the music and fun..

The bbq was excellent, service was great, quick and Mr. Wrice was on point to make sure I got my onions jalapeños and pickles on the side with my food. If you're ever in texas city definintely make it a go to on your list.

1st time going to this place, 2PM on a Sunday. The man behind the counter was courteous and helpful suggesting a meal. He let me know they're open till 5pm on Sundays. I went with the rib and brisket combo with Mac n cheese, potato salad for the sides and a can of soda. It also comes with BBQ sauce, a small side of pickles and 2 slices of bread. RIBS = AMAZING! 👏🙌🙏. Moist and tender with the perfect amount of smoke and spice. Everything was good. Brisket was a little dry but tasted great. Mac was creamy and seasoned well. Potato salad was cool, crisp, fresh and tangy. BBQ sauce was just the right amount of sweet and spice, it's got a little kick to it. Needless to say I'll definitely be back for a rib plate. Thanks Wrice BBQ for a great experience! See you next time. [See pics]

Wonderful service! The food was delicious! Great atmosphere! I had the brisket and sock it to me cake! I visited all the way from Houston, and I’ll be back.

Great place, told Mr Wrice that I just moved here. He was very nice & welcomed me to the town.. got the brisket & sausage plate. Would recommend for anyone to come & give it a try!

Just came here today and was a bit disappointed, must been an off day for the Wrice establishment but I ordered moist sliced brisket and got the opposite of that. Hopefully next time my brisket will be more juicy and tender because these brisket sandwiches ain't cheap but can't blame them since everything has gone up in the last few years but in the end the sandwich must be right. Service was great and the place looked great also. Overall will give them another try but not anytime soon.

It's the Hungry Hardhats first day in Texas City and we tried Wrice BBQ. To be honest I was not impressed with the customer service nor the BBQ. Definitely not a return customer but I would like to hear from my fellow Yelpers to see what they have to say or if they recommend another local spot for BBQ. So let it be written... So let it be SMOKED.

Best sliced brisket sandwich I've had in a long time. If Buckys is a five this place was a nine. I really enjoyed that sliced brisket sandwich and the barbecue sauce, paired with it perfectly.

Great service Great food Fun place. My wife and I second trip. All I can say I wish we found it earlier. Mr Rice is a wonderful personable person. Great chef and BBQ er.

The brisket was fatty and small portion. I was hoping to try this place out. it wasn't that good.

First time stopping by and the food is amazing! Tender, juicy, smokey, and just the right flavor. Highly recommend!

We were not happy with the food. I got the rib plate and my husband got the chicken plate. Both had no flavor the chicken was dry and to top it off the prices were very high for 2 combos, 2 can drinks and a very sm side it was almost 40 dollars.

Ordered some to go plates because we had family in town. They were craving barbecue and we had never tried Wrice before. Very easy to deal with on the phone! No options for food "by the pound" so we ordered several 4-meat plates. The whole family was very pleased. Dry seasoned ribs were delicious and as expected were the favorite. However the sausage and the turkey were very pleasant surprises for everyone as well! The brisket was a B+ in our opinion, but nothing negative to say about it! Potato salad and green beans were delicious, baked beans were also good. Sauce was tangy and really good! Zero complaints. We'll be back!!

Delicious! Good smoked BBQ paired with hometown friendly service. We stopped here on our way home from the beach and it was the best food on our trip! It's an airy location with lots of outdoor seating. I had the brisket sandwich. My husband had the two meat combo with ribs and brisket. He had plenty of leftovers. Big portions here are another plus! Trust me it's worth the 15 minutes detour to swing by this super yummy place. We will definitely be back!

Food and service was great. The BBQ sandwich was perfect size and delicious. The baked beans and potato salad was perfect potion for me. It's a perfect spot for a quick bite or to hang around for a bit. I liked the atmosphere.

Worst bar b que I've ever had in my life. Came here on a Wednesday night wanting to support a black owned business. Parked across the street as there wasn't any available parking in front of the building. Walked up to loud music playing from a dj they had set up. It was hard to place a order because the music being so loud, so you have to yell your order out to the cashier. I wanted to just order meat by the pound and I didn't care for their side options. The cashier told me that I couldn't do that because they only sell plates and sandwiches. So I decided to order a 4 meat plate (ribs,chicken,Sausage and brisket) with an additional side of brisket. The sides I picked I was told at the window would be an additional dollar. Mac and cheese and dirty rice. I'm confused on why you would charge your customers a extra dollar per side for mediocre, not fresh sides. I didn't check my receipt until I got home,then I realized she actually charged me a extra 2dollars per side.Now the food, if you could've seen the disappointment on my face when I opened this box of food; I was beyond pissed. The meats..brisket dry, I mean absolutely no moisture, as well as no smoke flavor. You could tell it wasn't fresh or made that day. It looked like they nuked it in the microwave. Same went with the brisket. The Sausage looked like sausage chips they cut it so thin. The chicken had a weird rubber bite to it like it was freezer burnt then cooked. The mac and cheese was not fresh tasted like it came out of a box and the dirty rice was just disgusting. I told myself that I should've just took the ride to Killens bar b que in Pearland, and got some good food for the 40 dollars I spent. At Killens I could have gotten two three meat plates for what I paid here and everything would have been fresh. Don't believe me do a comparison of the pics from this place and Killens and you be the judge. I hate to down a black owned business, but I can honestly cook better food at home. Im going to post there pics of the food I got from them and last pic will be what I made at home, and you tell me which looks better

We went to Texas City to buy some seafood for a boil that I am going to be doing. Ran across this BBQ place really nice people food was great thank you for a test experience this has the home tome vibe to it love it.

Ordered 2 meat plate sliced brisket and sausage potato salad beans apple pie and root beer to be delivered it was more like sliced fat and sausage threw the potato salad out the beans were edible got charged for apple pie I didn't get and got a coke instead of root beer and gave my dogs the fat and sausage wouldn't eat there again even if they PAID ME

Checked this place because I had a taste for BBQ and it was on my return route to work. The place has a nice look and an open area to relax. Ordered the rib plate, which came with two sides and a drink for $10 (excellent price). The ribs were moist and very tender with a nice balance of smoke and seasoning (thoroughly enjoyed). Little disappointed in the side, which in my opinion lacked enough seasoning. Met the owner Janice and she was very nice and customer friendly. The place has only been open for about six months. I will return and encourage others to give it a try.

My husband and I have been wanting to try the bbq from here for a while and today was the day. He ordered a 2 meat plate with sausage and chicken. When we opened up the styrofoam plate we were disappointed. He was hoping for a "smoked" piece of chicken but instead there sat a skinless, boneless chicken breast, dry with a little bit of flavor, the sausage was ok. He was given the choice of 2 sides and they got one correct. I ordered a sliced beef sandwich that had no bbq sauce on it or in my bag so I had to put my own store bought bbq sauce at home. I know it's expected to pay a lot for bbq because the prices of meat are up but getting a half chicken "smoked" should be worth a 2 meat plate that is $16. And getting the sides correct would have been nice too. Probably not going back again. Brisket was not bad though, just know they are $11 but it comes with a small bag of chips and a can drink.

This place is legit!!! Awesome food. Great staff. Good music - CLEAN! Restroom was spotless!! Beer was cold! Very cool Texas City vibe. I all come back for sure.

Some amazing BBQ. Would definitely come back. Great food, service, and atmosphere. The gentleman that owns it is a very nice guy. He enjoys what he does and knows how to cook. Brisket was amazing and so were the baked beans and green beans. Sausage and rib were also great.

Best barbque in texas city. Always friendly always something going on with fun to be had by all

On our way to fetching lab and the food truck wasn't there yet, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We had seen this place on our way and both talked about how good BBQ sounded, so we turned around and drove back. The place is decorated like a man cave, and since it's in a garage type building and one man does all the cooking, it's so fitting. We put our order in with his wife, she was so friendly and genuine. Food took a minute but it is so worth it. The best BBQ I've had in the area hands down. The place was so clean, even the bathroom was spotless! We also got to meet the man behind the amazing food. They're such good people. We spent an hour hanging out and talking to his wife while we ate. We will not go anywhere else for BBQ! Try it you won't be disappointed!

Very good. Support local. Ordered food through Doordash but i chose to pick up order to free up another delivery driver for somebody else. Chopped beef sandwich excellent. Beans were great. Everyone was friendly.

Stopped by after visiting the Texas c. was g and service was great. We met the owner. Very clean.

Easily the best crawfish I've ever bought at a restaurant. If I wasn't so full I'd go back for more right now. Also ordered smoked boudin and it's amazing! Can't recommend this enough.

Great BBQ!!! Me and my husband ate here tonight by chance and it surpassed our expectations. The sauce, the meat and sides were all delicious!! This will be our new bbq spot!! The service was also point - kind people!! The vibe was cool too.

Some of the best BBQ around. I have been looking for two years down here for a good place and this place takes the cake. The best baked beans, potato salad and ribs. Ribs come right off the bone and they don't even need any sauce. Their sauce however is fantastic. I can't wait to go back and try their other plates!
