Why mess with a good thing? Brett's had it going ON when it was the little shop on mason that was focused on food quality , both unique and high caliber BBQ. So good it would sellout by noon! Brisket used to be amazing and would rival the top bbq joints in Houston. But now at katy mills, larger location and a sitting area, Brett's is now like everyone else. Brisket and sausage (a little chewy vs crisp casing) are okay but not outstanding. The chicken is moist but I can't help compare it to a baked chicken flavor (rosemary or thyme?) vs a bbq chicken. Still tasty but different flavor. The corn dressing was still spot on and the highlight of my meal. I would've been inclined to give Brett's four stars if the price point was lower, but for the price, I expect a little more. Maybe it was just an off day for them? Try Brett's for yourself but prepared to a little more, around $22/person.

Ordered the brisket, burnt ends, and pork ribs all of the meats happened to be moist and falling apart on this batch of BBQ.Brisket - nice smokey flavors and additional seasoning other than salt and pepper Ribs - very tender Sweet and spicy fried burnt ends - whatever sauce they used tasted great they're thick cubes of fried brisket and tossed in sauce. Nice crunchy exterior and moist interiorOverall would come again.

So we had been hearing so much about this place we decided to stop in and try it. We ordered the 2 meat platter with smoked turkey breast and pulled pork. We also ordered the brisket enchiladas. For sides we ordered the mac and cheese and the sweet corn casserole. The smoked turkey was dry and the flavor was okay. The pulled pork was bland and marginal at best. The brisket enchiladas were fantastic and definitely worth trying. The mac and cheese was decent. The sweet corn casserole was delicious and one of the better sweet corn dishes we've had. They did not serve any of the usual side fixings like pickles, onions, or jalapenos which was very disappointing. The sweet tea was not very sweet either. Finally the interior decor was a bit spartan. There are only windows on one side of the restaurant so you feel like you're eating inside a tomb. The seating is awkward at best. With that said, I would not recommend Brett's. If you're in the Katy area there are many other better options.

It's small but they have a nice Texas Bar B Que atmosphere. The brisket is exceptional, the ribs are some of the best in Katy and I like the spice in the sausage. I had Mac n cheese as well as potato salad and they were both excellent! The new location is a huge improvement over the Mason Road location, but the food continues to be top notch!
