Found this quaint smokehouse on our way to Galveston for our cruise. We were hoping for brisket, but the very kind owner, Philip, informed us he ran out several hours earlier. He had 1lb of chicken left and sides, and said we would not be disappointed. Was he right! The smoke on the chicken was delicious and kept the chicken moist, not at all dry. And the beans - oh my gosh they were so good! If you are traveling through to get to your vacation, Free Cookies Smokehouse is a must to kick-off your adventure. We hope when Philip makes it big and has people waiting for hours from miles around to get a bite that he remembers the family from Arkansas that stopped in when the restaurant was only five months old.

OMG! New mandatory stop for lunch on our return road trips from Indiana. I had the loaded cheesy potatoes with brisket and sausage. My husband had the brisket and rib combo. The meats were smoked to perfection with great flavor. Do yourself a favor and check it out. Free cookies too!

Excellent food. Lean, very very tasty meats. Even the sides were delicious. He’s going to need a bigger seating area. Top ten barbecue place ever!

Pulled Pork Sandwich
We went their first day officially opened. I was fortunate enough that they did a sampling of their meats for me in a box, the chicken was INCREDIBLE- some of the best flavored, and so juicy and tender. The brisket had a great flavor. I’m not a rib or pork person - so I will let someone else review those items. I did witness the size and quality of the baked potato with brisket and it looked delicious! There really isn’t too many places to sit inside. No public bathrooms. And they do have a big fan for those that want to sit outside. Overall, I hope locals and travelers will stop and try them! It’s a great addition to the Mount Enterprise area! The young family that owns it are super sweet and personable. We had a light dinner at my company, so I wanted the to try the chicken and sausage from them, and everyone seemed to love it. It’s a must stop in Mount!

The best barbeque in town. It's so delicious and the staff is very nice. We eat there every other day and my son loves the brisket sandwich/ribs basically the whole menu. 😁

Traveling through to Houston and stopped to eat some classic Texas BBQ. Lovely, kind folks behind the counter and friendly regulars. I can see why this spot is still open and it’s older than I am.
