Review of Field Store BBQ (Located in Irv's in Waller, TX)  

Field's Store BBQ site on Yelp

As I noted in the last review, Field Store BBQ and Waller County Line BBQ are one exit away from each other. Since I grabbed Waller CL BBQ on the way to Pearland, I checked out Field Store BBQ on the way back.
Field Store BBQ is set up a little different. Order your plate, pay at the register (same place you pay for gas) and they bring it to you.
(Scott's comment: "Do you want a fuel injector enhancer with your pork ribs?")
They offer a decent selection. I order a three meat plate (brisket, sausage, pork rib).
 

Sausage: I ordered original sausage. It’s got an excellent flavor and a good snap. It’s just a hair dry, but the flavor compensates. 8.0/10.

Pork rib: The rib has a very sweet flavor, and there is a very light smoke flavor, It’s not tough but is a touch dry. 5.0/10. 

 
Brisket: The brisket has a smoky flavor but not much else going for it. Again, it is a touch dry, when you bite into it, but otherwise is OK. 5.0/10.  

Is it worth a visit? I’d say yes. The sausage is definitely excellent, and the other items are adequate if not exceptional. 

Is it worth a trip? Nope.  

Decision time: Since Waller County Line and Field Store BBQ are one exit down from each other, which should you choose?
You should choose Field Store BBQ if you want a more “genuine” BBQ experience (translation: some smoke flavor in the meat). Field Store is also less expensive. 

(Scott's comment: Sounds like a quintessential Texas side of the road place where you need gas, realize you're hungry, but want something more than a bag of chips from the gas station, and you've had your yearly dietary quota of Dairy Queen.) 

(Al's comment: I love the Yelp guy who sums up his priorities on the BBQ as: It's now called Irv's...They still have Chevron gas.)
(Al's 2nd comment: You ate gas station BBQ twice in one week?? You're braver than I thought.)

  1. Not just does it give you the bona fide BBQ taste, yet you can switch your charcoal for wood to include an additional flavor. bbq

  2. These guys are absolutely amazing, and you'd be crazy to party anywhere else in the city. I would highly recommend this event space Chicago to anyone. It's elegant, affordable, and delicious. You really get bang for your buck there! And the service is top-notch.
