Charlie’s Bar-B-Q In Bellaire

great bbq! Great service! Highly recommended! Try out the beef brisket and St. Louis style ribs. You can’t go wrong.

Best barbecue in town. Only place to go for lunch. Will cater ANY kind of event any menu!!!

I went to this place after hearing about it from a friend. It is tucked away a bit in a shopping center, but we’ll worth the miniscule effort to find it.
As I walked in I saw the line just to the side where the trays and flatware is available. They had a nice selection of brisket, sausage, and chicken. I opted for the two meat plate that comes with two sides and a bread. I ordered the brisket, spicy sausage, potato salad, Mac and cheese, and a roll. The brisket was good. It had good flavor to it with a middle of the road smokey flavor. Itwas sliced thin and was tender. As it should be, the brisket stands on its own. I am a true Texas BBQ fan and eat my BBQ without sauce, but I did try the sauce. It is pretty good. It is different than most sauces in the area and is more tangy than sweet and adds a little something to the meat. These years sausage was good as well. It had a nice little spicy to it that left a small tickle to the lips. It’s not going to cause combustion of the face. I have no complaints on the Ota to salad. I enjoyed shoving that into my face. The way I like Mac and cheese is with a thick cheesy sauce. However, the mac and cheese here has a thin, milky sauce. It tastes good, just lacks in body. The roll tasted fine and was put to good use as I stopped up sauce and crumbs of brisket with it.
Since my body shows obvious signs of weakness due to a condition, one of the staff members offered to help with my items and carry the tray for me. I didn’t even have to ask for help. Very friendly people here. The cashier even took the time answer a couple of questions I had. She seemed very knowledgeable of the company and the history of the establishment.
The atmosphere is casual with hunting trophies on the walls along with other rustic pieces that give the place an old time western feel. Even if you are in the middle of the city. The parking seems a little small, but I went during a non-​peak time and had no problem finding a spot right by the front door.
Overall I liked this place and will return again.

The chop beef sandwiches and peach cobblers are to die for… Actually I’m on my way there now!

Ok I am a BBQ person. I own large smokers and multiple grills. In town for business and tried the ribs here. Charlie’s ribs rock. The Brisket was also good. The Charro beans were really good as well. Great Beer variety and its on Ice!!!
Nice job

OMG these guys are so nice
And the food so good
La visitor and came with my native Huston family. We were all treated so well for our first time.
Thank you! The ribs where amazing! Mac and cheese was dope. Highly recommend!

I just went here for lunch. I had a brisket sandwich and onion rings. The brisket had absolutely no flavor-​the worst tasting brisket I think I’ve ever had. The onion rings came from the freezer and you could tell because the texture was chewy as opposed to crispy or crunchy. Won’t go back. The staff were very friendly though. If you’re in this area trying to find decent BBQ, try out Fainmous BBQ on South Post Oak-​it is the real deal (but Tennessee as opposed to Texas BBQ). They’re closed on Sundays and Mondays though, which is why I ended up at Charlie’s.

I have been to several BBQ places around here and this is the best so far. One was a 1 star, the other was good but nothing special. Charlie’s has so much more flavor than the others.

We got the sausages, the brisket and the pulled pork. Along with that we got the jalapeño and the white bread. A good meal. Not bad at all :)

Have eaten here several times and the food was good, but at the most recent had a loaded baked potato. I think someone forgot to wash their hands as my stomach and my friends (who ordered the same thing) was upset for two days afterwards.

Great little find tucked in an out of the way shopping center. This place is clean, seems friendly and food was DAMN good. My first visit and I was looking for a cheeseburger. I got the burger, patty was hand formed and very tasty. Came with fries that were pretty good as well. I am looking forward to returning to try the bbq.

The only bbq place I’ve been to since moving to Houston is Papas bbq and it sucked both times so I was hesitant to try Charlie’s. I was pleasantly surprised the pork ribs were really good. They didn’t even need bbq sauce. The BBQ sauce ok. I also got fries and they weren’t good. They looked oily, smelled oily and tasted oily.

Could have been better but not bad. I have had worse. very quite burgers were good and so was the turkey.

Best BBQ in town. The ribs are great and the spicey sausage is the best. Not easy to find but worth looking. It is a bit pricey though, they must have raised their prices recently.

1^st time at Charlie’s, and I got the two meat lunch plate. The spicy sausage was excellent, but the ribs… stole the show!!! The mashed potatoes with white gravy was just right as one of my side choices (other side was the rice.) Arrived just before the lunch rush, and enjoyed not only the food, but the atmosphere as well. I got the bbq sauce on the side, and I was hoping it didn’t disappoint. It was the perfect blend between sweet and spicy. I’m a fan, and I will be back. BTW, I visited with my son (visiting from South Carolina), and he is now a fan too!

The pork ribs here are delicious! I would highly recommend them if you’re in the area. We also had the turkey, which was a little plain but totally find as a 2^nd item.
Fast take-​out service as well at noon on a weekday.
We’ll be back!

I had the two meat lunch plate which comes with two sides.
For the meat I ordered brisket with burnt ends and pork belly.
The pork belly had more smoke than the brisket but not too much distant flavor.
The brisket burnt ends were good if you’re into that.
I got mixed veggies and beans for sides. I’d recommend the beans but probably something else for a side than the veggies.

The BBQ here is da bomb. Always fresh and great quality. Also a great variety of sides, salads, and other BBQ alternatives.
I would give 5 stars but their sauce is just good, as I prefer spicier sauce
Great BBQ in houston, TX

The meat was tender, sauce not that exciting. but it sure is convenient, working across the street at HQ.

In Unilocal we trust, so I drove past Charlie’s, with its single two-​star review, many times. But one day I was right there and needed a quick lunch, so I decided to give it a try.
It’s not a revelation, but it’s far from the worst BBQ I’ve ever eaten. David and I both had the brisket and turkey plate. The brisket was lean, had decent beef flavor, and the sauce was actually pretty good — smoky and spicy, not the horrible tomato-​based stuff you find at a lot of places. The turkey was bland but not awful. Among the sides, the fresh green beans were great. Most others are ho-​hum and I agree with Chris that you should avoid the mashed potatoes, which tasted like instant, and also the jalapeño creamed corn, which had a heavy cream flavor and not much else.
It’s not going to win any awards, but if you’re looking for a decent bbq place I would give this a try over say Luling City Market which I thought was poor.
