R & K Barbecue

Houston Barbeque were very accommodating and generous with the amount of food provided. Food was sensational, highly recommend it for all types of celebrations. Would definitely hire them again.

A huge thank you to the R&k team.we just celebrated my fathers 60th birthday and it was the perfect space. Let them know what you need and they will help you out. We thought we had everything and last minute realized we left the table covers behind and even last minute they rented us out the table covers we needed for our dinner celebration.. the DJ had a great stage to set up on. They have a fridge sink and coolers for ice(they provide the ice as well.) great parking lot. Our family will definitely use going forward for any event we plan moving forward. Again thank you kindly for helping us make my dads night go as smoothly as possible. We appreciate you in our community.

Shawna was nice and very informative.. The owner is delightful as well. My first visit today and I really enjoyed the food and service.

Great service and even better food.

Disclaimer: I’m Asian American with very little soul food experience, so I don’t know what exactly good soul food should taste like, but I’ve been curious to try it. I think the negatives may just be because of my preferences (I like strong flavors and I like sweet things to be very sweet), so keep that in mind. I’m looking forward to trying their barbecue and chicken wings in future visits. The woman who helped me was extremely nice and helpful (5 stars for service). She even gave me several samples of various items since it was my first time. She said the chicken wings special (10 wings for $5 or 20 wings for $10) is available only at night, but you can get any number of wings to-go at any time for $1/wing. It’s a great deal, especially because they give you the entire wing (leg, wing, and tip), for both the chicken and turkey (soul food menu) wings. -Ox tail: 4 out of 5 stars. Very tender and moist, but I just wish the flavor was stronger. It’s also the most expensive meat and pretty pricey, but I know raw ox tail is also fairly expensive. -Meatball: 3 stars. It was OK, but nothing special, but I’m also not a meatball fan (she gave me one whole meatball to sample). I’m not sure if it’s good or bad, but the meat was a little firmer than some meatballs that I’ve had, but it could have just been leaner meat? -Yams: 4 stars. They are only slightly sweetened, but pretty good texture since they’re soft chunks with just a hint of firmness so it’s not mushy. They sit in a fair amount of liquid (not sure what it is, maybe just water?) in the heating tray, so not as sweet as candied yams that have no liquid. They also do not have any marshmallows like candied yams, another reason they’re not as sweet. I like candied yams, but seems it’s not a fair comparison. -Collard greens: 3 stars. It tastes pretty bitter, but I think that’s just how this vegetable tastes from my past experience, which is limited. She said they cook it with some meat, bacon I think, but I didn’t really taste the flavor. I liked that it’s made with bigger pieces of the leaves (but still small enough that you don’t have to cut it) rather than chopped into small pieces like most other places where I’ve eaten it. I probably would not order it unless I just want another vegetable to be healthy and low-carb. -Red beans: 3 stars. Nothing to get too excited about, but not bad. Cornbread: 3 stars. Just standard cornbread, nothing special. I’m not a big cornbread fan, but I like it when it’s moist and sweet, but then again it’s probably just my preference, and I have only had cornbread like that in a couple other restaurants. -Strawberry cake: 3 stars. Overall it was okay. It appears to have some small pieces of strawberries in it, which is nice. I’m not sure what kind of frosting it was, and it looked fine when it was in the store at room temperature, but by the time I ate it many hours later at home at room temperature the icing had slid down a little towards the bottom of the container which was not visually appealing. When I ate it, that icing was lighter/fluffier than some other icings, and the cake is placed in the container laying on its side, which is why I guess it collapsed. It tastes okay, though.

Omg just got a bake potato with brisket, first time, so far so good, I will be back, oh the tea cakes are off the chain.
