Rock’N R BBQ

Disclaimer: I am not really a BBQ fan, so you take this for what it’s worth, but I enjoyed myself at Rock’N R. It’s a small, unassuming place with basic décor. You walk up and order and go along the line, like has been my experience at most BBQ places. The baked potato I got was cooked perfectly-​soft, light and fluffy. I really liked it and the sweet tea. I was there with a large group for dinner and everyone seemed to be enjoying their food and certainly were headed into food comas afterwards.
I would recommend if in the area for sure.

Best barbecue any where!
God bless you Janet.
Great location.
Easy parking.
Excellent service.

Best BBQ in the area. Try the brisket with the signature sauce. Nothing beats the potato salad and baked beans.

This little place has been «Rock’n» the Prairie for many years now (see what I did there?). Hubby and I love having it right around the corner. In a town that is eat-​up with BBQ places, this one stands out as one of the best! It’s one of only two in town I’ll eat at and the ONLY place with Gumbo that I’ll eat (other than mine and my mom’s). The Gumbo is a very dark roux, different than any you’ll have most anywhere else. Their brisket is always delicious and flavorful as are the ribs. I hear they get their sausage from the Schulenberg area, which makes the best sausage in Texas. Their potato salad is unique, different than most with sour cream in it. They also have mac salad, cole slaw and pinto beans. Not a lot of sides, but all of the traditional sides for BBQ. Tuesday — Friday they have daily lunch specials. I’ve had the smothered pork chops and fajita tacos and they were both delicious. OH and let me not forget the stuffed baked potato! She uses the good cuts of the brisket and chops her meat fresh each day. I make this point because a few weeks ago I tried a new place that recently opened in the HEB parking lot. I got a stuffed baked potato that wasn’t good at all. The meat had been soaking in sauce (I’m not a sauce person) and had hard pieces that weren’t edible. I’m not sure this wasn’t meat left over from previous days, soaked in sauce to mask the dryness. You WILL NOT find that at Rock’n R!
If you’re ever passing through our little community of Tarkington Prairie, you should come hungry and plan to stop in and getcha some BBQ~~ Unless it’s a Sunday or Monday, they’re closed.

We were driving back to Houston from Silsbee TX and found this place. Awesome BBQ with great sides. This will be a regular stop for me when I am there.

Stopped in for lunch and man it was good. Got the combo plate with beef and ribs. The brisket was great. The beef ribs were good but not fall off the bone. Still very tasty. They claim best on the planet which I would have to disagree with but for a small stop out in the country it was great.

Stopped by there last weekend on the way to the preserve property. Smokey place but the food was great.
Love the ribs and sweet tea. I’ll be back for sure

Discovered this BBQ place on our way to Jasper TX from Kingwood. I agree that the beans and potato salad are very good. I could fill up on those alone. We’ve had brisket, sausage and ribs in our two trips there and each are awesome. BBQ sauce is sweet and tangy but enjoy the meat w/​o the sauce first and taste the dang love they put in their meats. Prices are comparable to others if not slightly cheaper. They also have different luncheon specials for that rare person who might not feel like BBQ that day. All you Kingwoodians… take the 30 minute drive and see for yourself.

Thank you Unilocal for pointing-​out this excellent BBQ place. This is one of those places that I wouldn’t have thought to stop at without Unilocal.We were traveling through town during dinner and decided to give it a try. The staff is very friendly and the food is very good. My wife and I had the brisket (mine was a sandwich) and it was really good. They will offer to sauce it, but I would recommend getting it on the side since they sauced it a little more than I would have. I also had a cup of chicken and dumplings, which was outstanding. My kids had chicken strips and a burger and enjoyed both. If you are going through Cleveland, give Rock’N R a try, it’s definitely a hidden gem.

The finish on the brisket and ribs is sweet, almost candied. That’ s whats unique about the que here. My brisket and rib plate were great. Smoley, sweet, & tender. I’ll stop in again!

I went to Rock’N R BBQ when visting a frend for the weekend. This is the best BBQ I have ever eaten. Sure wish he would open up a restaurant in my local area of Houston. However, the Cleveland restaurant is worth the drive. The potatoe salad is better than my own. I will defiently go back and try the ribs next time.

We moved out to the Cleveland area around 12 years ago. We were so disappointed because we could never find a good BBQ place. FINALLY, we discovered Rock’N R! Their brisket is tender and flavorful. The potatoe salad is very unique. It took me a long time to figure out their secret. The pinto beans and baked beans are both equally great. I’m usually not a fan of BBQ sausage and I NEVER eat ribs. However, Rock’N R has changed my mind on both. I will only eat those items from there. They even serve a pretty good Chicken and Dumplings. They do not stay open late and are not open on Sundays. But it is worth the drive out there to it.

Great BBQ, the beans and potato salad were rockin! Everything we had was good. I’d definitely go there again. The chef is a chef! Prices were fantastic!
