Early's BBQ and Catering

Ordered takeout for Mother's Day's lunch with family- brisket, sausage, ribs, chopped beef, potato salad, beans and mac-n-cheese. Everything was delicious. Brisket was lean but not dry and chopped beef had perfect amount of sauce. Ribs were meaty and tender, and sausage not greasy. Sides were yummy. Definitely recommend!

Best BBQ around, with large portions. The service is very homey. Love this family very much. Go visit them on Saturday and Sundays. You will not regret it. My favorite is the brisket, sausage and potato salad. But, my family loves everything. I have to tell you, I don't care for Mac and cheese. But Early's is amazing.

I wanted to cry when I received my food. I ordered on DoorDash. I ordered the 3 meat plate with ribs and double chicken. I got a big chicken breast chopped in two. It was inedible. It was so dried out I could rub it against a car and scratch the paint off it. The ribs were like dried out rope. I wasted my money and it was nothing I could do about it. I ordered double candied yams for my two sides and believe it or not, that was the worst part of the meal. It's like they poured the yams from the can straight onto my plate and no other preparation. Maybe I got them on a terrible night or something because I only ordered because of the great reviews. Nothing I ordered was good enough for consumption. I just hate it when I have to waste money. I'm so scarred, doubt I'll ever order out again. DO BETTER!!! You are NOT FEEDING SWINES!!!!

Earlys has been serving excellent bbq to the local community for decades. The brisket here melts in your mouth. The chicken is delicious and the banana pudding is the best. This is one of the best kept secrets of lake Conroe & Willis. They are only open Saturday & Sunday. They sell until they run out, so come Early 😉

I give it a 5 for overall experience and quality of food. This is one of those TX old school BBQ joints worth traveling to. It's definitely off the main drag. Owners living on site as part of a boat storage business. They've been in business 50 years and three generations.The building shows it's age and history. I count that as a plus. The smoke has infiltrated every corner of ever building. There is indoor seating, screened seating and open air picnic seating. Your choice. Old beer signs and photos from the past adorn the patchwork walls.It's a family operation, and children of the owners were playing outside. Another plus IMHO. They greeted my like family and it wasn't busy so I actually got table service and my drink filled twice. It was relaxed and casual.The food. First I'm generally one who prefers BBQ WITHOUT sauce. Good smoked meat should stand alone. But my plate came drizzled with their home made sauce. And I'm glad it did. The sauce complimented the meat perfectly. I would have missed out had ordered my plate dry.I got ribs, brisket and chicken. The chicken was a tiny bit dry but flavor was perfect. Smoked chicken skin is usually tough and bitter IMHO. But this skin was great.The ribs were served onthe bottom of the pile and soaked up all the fat and juice from the other meats. The meat fell off the bone and was very flavorful.Brisket is usually not my favorite of the meats but here it was. It was chunked rather than sliced and each piece had a nice bit of the charred crispy ends. They left a generous amount of fat on too which I think makes the meat more moist. The brisket really brought the meal home.The beans were average but I really like the potato salad it was cold and tangy just the way I like it. Perfect.The whole plate was served and presented stacked. It looked really nice. Not that presentation is an expectation at a BBQ joint but it really made me excited about what I was about to partake.
