At first glance, Brooks' Place might just seem like a small trailer sitting in the parking lot of an Ace Hardware store in Cypress. Well, actually, that's exactly what it is. However, the reach of this little trailer is huge, drawing in fans from all across the Bayou City.
THE MEATS
The thin slices of brisket were extraordinary. The well rendered fat lining the edge of the meat and a deep pink smoke ring proved this meat was done right. The cuts had a thin, but well defined crust encasing the meat. Each slice featured tons of smoke and along with the juicy fat, made for a delicious bite. The slightest downside of the brisket is that it did not have much tug and fell apart a little too easily. Still, this was some good, GOOD brisket.
The pulled pork was honestly pretty good. The meat was juicy and carried good flavor but the tangy sauce provided actually made for a great companion to the pork.
The pork ribs were a bit dry and had issues with toughness but I still enjoyed them. They carried a slight rub. The rub was sweet but not overpowering. The mix of smoke and sweet was tasty.
The flavor of the sausage was pretty good but the link did not have any snap. It was chore to eat as the casing was just too tough.
THE REST
I rather enjoyed the sauce that was provided on the side. As noted above, their meat does not require sauce but the tangy, interesting concoction pairs well with the bread provided. Also, since the rules are different for pulled pork, don't be afraid to apply a little sauce to further enjoy the pork.
THE VERDICT
Brooks' Place does not only deserve the high praise it receives in the Houston Area, the brisket demands to be recognized across the entire state. This is a hardworking trailer putting out some fine BBQ.
