Review Larry's Bbq

Mike G

Moved from old standalone location to strip center closer into town. Opened before installing the old decor in ex-oriental buffet. Will never be the same place, but that is a blessing. Larger, cleaner, cooler space. More space means more items on hot and cold tables, but plenty of old favorites. Still the best pork ribs in town - bar none...

Thanks for your kindness. You and your husband are the sweetest people and have the yummiest food!

Best soul food around. Houston is known for its chains, but this place is the real deal. Home cooked comfort food at its finest; new exciting items everyday, BY REQUEST. Very friendly and hardworking staff. 5 stars all around, highly recommended for anyone looking for legit soul food, this is the place to go.

Just started into these oxtails I picked at 1pm 26AUG18. They are tender yet weren’t braised. Opened my container & it looks like they just sprinkled some seasoning salt on top throughout. The gravy taste like packaged gravy and the meat was unseasoned this bland. Only gave it a two instead of a One because the Kool Aid was good.

Only recently moved to Houston and was missing a good old fashioned plate lunch. Thankfully Larry and Laney's is exactly that spot. Some of the nicest people who put alot of TLC into the food and service. Plan on trying to come back as often as is practical.

I don't know who the people are giving reviews but this food is terrible. It must be family members and friends leaving reviews. Here is the truth: everything that we ordered was disgusting. We ordered pork chops with rice, mac and cheese with cabbage and a side order of peach cobbler. Everything tasted boxed and ill seasoned.... oh and please don't get me started on the peach cobbler..... who uses diced can peaches and store bought pie crust?! Mac and cheese only had cheese on top and wet noodles on the inside. Pork chops were tough. Either these people have never had soul food or they think all of their customers have never tasted REAL soul food. The only good thing we can say was their customer service was great but I feel that was a trick. Don't believe the previous reviews. They are friends and family to these people. That's the only way I can explain why they have positive reviews. I'm trying to figure out how to attach the recipes for how to prepare REAL soul food mac and cheese (oven baked), cabbage, smothered pork chops, rice (can't mess up 10 min rice) and how to make peach cobbler using real crust and the right kind of peaches. Back to grandma's kitchen is where they need to go to figure out how to fix this. Super honest review! Nice people though.

Went there today. The food was not what I would call soul food. Mac n Cheese if you don't get cheese from the top you just missed the cheese. Pork chop was tuff but the gravy was good. Corn was not any good. All the sides were questionable The best thing we got was the free soda. They may need time to put perfection on the menu. Sorry I Was very disappointed.

Let me start with "WOW!!!!" My wife and I were at an event near Larry and Laney's, and I knew I had to try their food. I'm sooooooo glad we did. First of all, I actually got to meet Larry and Laney both. As a business owner, that shows me that they care so much about their business that they are the ones still doing all the cooking. That's a huge plus to me! Now to the good stuff, the food. Talk about Yum's to the max!! I had their meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and cabbage. Can I just say that I don't think that I have inhaled food the way I did there, since I left the Army. Except in the Army it wasn't because of the flavor. I didn't get to try their wings because the sample they gave me, my wife ate. So obviously, they were phenomenal. At any rate, I'm giving 5 stars because of the people, food, and the customer service. I will definitely be back, and I'll make sure I let everyone I know!!

Oh my God, this place is around the corner from my house. I went in today for first time ,oh my The honey glazed wings are to die for but ,The peach cobbler is excellent! Great place give them a try I guarantee you want be disappointed !Great

Niecy Monique Bushell

Love their food. It's carry-out only but that is not a big deal, My only mission is to always get there before they sell out! I have tried everything and have not been disappointed. Wings, catfish, mac and cheese, ribs, their chicken and special sauce is so good! The restaurant is definitely a must try <3. The owners are awesome and I am happy to support their business.

MrsAngel Santos

Awesome Soul food by wonderful family owned business and good people. I not only found a great place to eat but I have great new friends and a new extended family

Madonna Sheen-Chien

Best fried catfish I've had in a long long time- crunchy, finely-coated breading, juicy moist fillets & plenty of it. But the true winner today was the braised oxtail dish that the owner gave us on the house. I don't know what magic he brewed in there but I was drinking the gravy from the Styrofoam box at the end.

I've been driving by Larry and Laney's place almost daily for over a year, promising myself every time I saw their sign to give it a try. Today, finally, I fulfilled that promise. It was great! I had the salisbury steak on a bed of rice with gravy, collard greens, and mac-n-cheese. And the owner threw in a free honey-glazed chicken wing just to hook me, which it did. I know I'll be getting them by the dozen soon. Heartily recommended!

Briana Forbes

I'm so happy to have found delicious soul food and exemplary service on the southwest side. Laney was a gem to meet and you can believe ALL of the hype about the wings! They are addictive!!!

Alex-Estela Sarmiento

Is the fist time that I tried soulfood, I love this place, because food and service is amazing. In addition the place is clean. I truly recommend it.

Alissa Collins

My family and I are visiting Houston and found this place on Yelp with good reviews..I can see why great food and even better customer service!!!!!! Next trip back to Houston we will be at Larry and Laney's... Oh try their signature wings!!!!

Conni Funke

Larry and Laney's is unbelievably delicious. The selection is always quite varied. Some of our favorites are the chicken wings, greens, meatloaf, Mac and cheese, and don't forget the cobbler. Larry and Laney always greet us with a smile. Love this place, the food, and the kind owners!

Kurt Pafford

My father-in-law wanted us to try this place. It's disgusting. Beware of food poisoning. Any all-you-can eat BBQ Buffett should be an indicator that you should seek an alternative. Also, they had not air conditioning and the fans they had didn't help. I sweat the entire time. Service was subpar.

Davesolve

Bad Food Bad Service. The food is just disgusting... Just plan Gross... Larry's should have closed down when Rudy's opened up ...The only reason I went into Larry's is because the line at Rudy's was to long .. I should have known better...Save your money ..

Gvon78

Great mashed potatoes. It was okay....

Larry's - a good deal for the price. I've been going to Larry's fairly regularly for a couple of years now. Depending on the day/time the buffet w/ drink will run you between $12-16/person, and before you gripe about that think about what you pay anywhere else for decent BBQ. $10-12 for 3-4 ribs and two sides? There is quite the selection to choose from, and it's all good. Beef spare ribs, pork back ribs, chicken, sausage, brisket, pulled pork, smoked ham and turkey are always among the meats available, as well as salads and hot & cold vegetable offerings. Hot (bread pudding and cobbler) and cold desserts round things out. I will admit, When I first started going to Larry's they used to have a problem with having too much out on the buffet line at any given time, but they seem to have learned their lesson and put smaller quantities out that are replenished often rather than drying out. And the last time I was there they seemed to be working on updating the decor a bit as well.

The Prima Donna

Good BBQ buffet. We were there on an evening stop. Even though the dining room was sparsely populated, the folks in the kitchen put out fresh brisket and ribs and made sure we knew it was there. Lots of sides and desserts as well.

Phylis Parks

GREAT FOOD. I don't know who the Chefs are at this particular Larry's but I really do love their BBQ. Especially the Ribs...Please do not add nor subtract from this recipe. Great BBQ, great atmosphere. Making my rounds today and taking my family...Thanks from making me feel at home with your homestyle-cooking. My home away from home cooking place to be... -----12 Sep, 2012----- GREAT FOOD. Just by chance I was passing by on the opposite side and saw the sign that said Larry's Bar-B-Que & Smokehouse. I promised myself I would visit one day and sure glad I did. This will be my home-cooked meal away from home. They have some of the best BBQ I've ever tasted in my entire life. Suggest you give it a try. I don't know who inspired that recipe for the BBQ, but please do not change it...

Great bar-b-que i have ever eaten. Man i friend of mine took me to this place trying to get me to forgive hisa fu-- up...and boy did it work this place was the wonderful, and we was there when they was having live music night...need to go, i am telling everyone...you will love it great bbq!!!

Gari

They changed their dessert. They are so good. I would go there just for the dessert

Rees Williams

If your hungry I don't think you can go wrong here. I say try it. It's good enough to eat. And you can stuff yourself. Good chocolate cake. Waffle ice cream cones. Big free water cups. Good mashed taters. Decent ribs.

Reginald Garrett, II

Pretty good BBQ buffet with the usual suspect sides and a lonely salad bar. Do yourself a favor and try the ribs.
