Walls Bbq

We ran into someone at the truck stop who recommended this place and I’m so glad we stopped in! The menu had pulled pork nachos, but I asked if I could have brisket instead. Absolutely delicious! I couldn’t even finish it all. The crew working tonight were beyond pleasant. These boys really had it together to be working without a supervisor and I loved their customer service. I didn’t get any names, but the young curly headed guy was superb and his authentic mannerisms were greatly appreciated.

Mr Bill and I love Mr Hamburger, 1836 Steak House, and La Mision restaurants in H’ville TX, so it was natural to try the sibling of all those eating establishments: Walls Pecan Smoked BBQ. North of H’ville off Exit 118 on Interstate 45, it’s a good sized eating place that also delivers and has a good take away business. Tucked in a travel center, it may be easy to overlook. But DO try it. Decent portions, decent prices, good brisket, pinto beans, terrific fried okra, awesome loaded Mac and cheese. Food is served on disposable plates and utensils which is common in H’ville. Check out the photos of the menu - robust offerings. I LOVE that the place is dedicated to the TDCJ workers to whom they extend a 10% discount. There’s a large dedication poster in the restaurant attesting to their respect for the workers in our prisons….tough and not always thanked. To the reviewer who did not eat there but were quick to judge motives behind the name, shame on you for totally misleading potential customers with incorrect opinions! The walls pay homage to the workers as well as the events they hold for inmates. Historic photos remind diners inmates are people who also enjoy entertainment, riding in a rodeo, and cheering others to victory. Also adorning the walls are many fine specimens of animals who’ve been expertly preserved by a local taxidermist. While prisons and hunting specimens may not be everyone’s preference, the tale of H’ville history is displayed and preserved inside the establishment much as a museum would do. Fill your tank, stop in to look and to eat some good east TX BBQ. Spicy or less spicy sauce tops it off and dessert is banana pudding, pecan pie or chocolate chip cookie.

Great place to eat! Moist lean bbq is hard to find and this place has it! Very generous portions! Meat is lean and moist. I had the pinto beans and potato salad. Both are a great complement to the brisket. Beans have pieces of meat added to them. If your passing through Huntsville during eating hours I suggest stopping in for a meal!

The first time we visited Walls, it was an accident. We'd pulled off 45 for gas, and chose the hole in the wall bbq joint instead of the chain chicken place next door. Our return visits have NOT been accidents. Next to what we create at home, this is the best BBQ we've encountered anywhere, let alone in Texas. Should mention that we are self-admitted BBQ snobs. This place is worth any amount of wait and every penny, plus the staff are friendly and accommodating.
