Reveille Barbecue Co. - Magnolia

Reveille BBQ is owned and operated by Veteran. A thousand stars and thank you! Very cool decor and super friendly and fun staff. The German sausage is little embarrassing, well made and my German men liked it. It's good with her sweet/sour mustard. I had the slim bride and it was perfect. It was well seasoned and damp. The red grill sauce was also perfect. Not hard on vinegar and heat. The ribs were well seasoned and delicious. The meats were to my taste, as I prefer dry rubbed over wet. Don't worry, they have a lot of sauce. The potato salad was a little sharp as the Tex Elote. Twice baked potatoes, Mac cheese, green beans and the house relish were delicious. Remember, it's a byob. They sell filled water and preserved soft drinks.

The brisket is moist, the sausage has surprise cheese cooked in, the potato salad has the right amount of vinegar bite, the homemade pickles are perfectly pickled and the service is friendly. The only non-beer beverages are Coke and water, and we didn't try the Lone Pint beer, brewed on premises, but people seem to like it! There's a tree-shaded picnic table area with string lights and good rock music playing

If you're anywhere near the Tomball, Pinehurst or Magnolia areas, you've got to visit Reveille Barbecue. These guys know their barbecue, and they are most assuredly going to become one of the best barbecue spots in the metro Houston area. Go give them a try! They just started up a few weeks ago. But don't let that fool you they've got their act together and they already have their barbecue dialed in it is flat out fantastic. I tried the brisket, turkey and jalapeno sausage, plus some of their Texlote corn. The brisket had an amazing bark, with a hefty amount of black pepper, which I love! The fat was perfectly rendered and the flavor was incredible partly because of how well they smoke it and partly because they are using some of the best brisket in the world from 44Farms, another incredible Texas based company. The turkey was not oversaturated with smoke. And the jalapeno sausage was pretty good. I'm hopeful that they'll start making their own sausage soon, as I have tried James' homemade stuff before and it is phenomenal. The barbecue sauce, though certainly not needed, was great. I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that I drank the rest of the sauce straight out of the container and then licked it clean. They also make their own pickles and pickled peppers, all of which are outstanding.

The ribs were amazing! As a local business here in Pinehurst we will continue to support this business as well. Keep up the great work guys!

We ordered two blue plate specials, which each come with a quarter pound of two different meats. I chose ribs and sausage, while my husband opted for brisket and turkey. We also tried the macaroni and cheese, elote, and mustard potato salad. The mac and cheese and potato salad were decent, just what you would expect at a barbecue. The potato salad had a touch of sweetness but was neither dry nor overly bland—it was nicely balanced. The elote was something new for me, and the menu described it as being "from the bay," but it reminded me more of corn. It had a creamy southwestern flavor, with hearty cheese and corn mixed in, garnished with cilantro. I found it delightful, and my husband enjoyed it as well. As for the meats, the ribs were decent, nicely seasoned with good flavor and texture. The sausage was tasty too, although it lacked the smoky flavor typically associated with BBQ. We enjoyed the sausage dipped in their BBQ sauce, which was a nice spicy and slightly vinegary complement to the pork. The brisket was quite good, featuring a nice bark and smoke ring—it was tender and juicy, but not as flavorful as I had hoped. The piece I had was on the lean side, while the fattier end was delicious. The clear highlight of our meal was the turkey; it was moist, flavorful, and smoky—just as we hoped it would be. I wouldn’t skip the turkey if I return! We also sampled the pork belly, which was rich and incredibly tasty; I wished I had ordered it for my meal. The woman at the counter was very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I would definitely come back here; don’t let the small size or location fool you, the food was truly satisfying. A final note from my husband: he missed the classic dill pickles typically served with barbecue. The pickles we received were the sweet bread and butter type, while I personally enjoyed the slightly sweet pickled onion that accompanied the meal.
