Cypress Trail Hideout

This isn't my first time here, but after today it'll be my last. I'm trying to figure out how I got dry not fresh brisket. Forget being flavorless the sauce would've helped with that...but dry dawg!!! Thick cut and dry mixed in with acceptable pieces. This is 1 1/2 lbs, not cheap. What's crazy is the rack of ribs were on point! 10 outta 10 for the ribs. The fact that this was given the ok to leave the kitchen and given to me is a slap in the face.

We chose CTH for my birthday based on a friend's recommendation, and drove 40 minutes to try it, and we loved it! We started with the cheeseburger, the pork belly bites, and the Brisket Skillet Queso. All three were very well-cooked and it was hard to save room for the mains. Then we tried Pork Belly Tacos, Chicken Fried Steak, and smoked chicken quesadillas. I'm not usually a fan of pork belly, and I don't know what they did to it, but it was amazing. The tacos were solidly tasty, but the CFS was the star of the show. The portions are also very generous, we had to take so much home! Our server Emily was a darling; she checked up on us regularly, got everything out to us at the right time, and never made us feel rushed to turn over the table. She made sure we had time to enjoy the appetizers before the mains, too, which is huge with me! We are already planning our next trip to sample all the sides!

Stopped in for the first time this past weekend with the family. We were sat immediately and without issue. Good music playing made for a nice atmosphere. Also had games on the TVs which was great. Watched the Astros while we ate. Edit* - this is for our 2nd visit - 3 people in our party got the burger and everyone enjoyed it. Fries were also very good. Daughter LOVES the banana pudding. She says it one of the best in the city. Good beer selection. First visit - Wife had the 1/2 chicken and enjoyed it. Green beans were good as were the mashed potatoes. Son had a burger which was big and he enjoyed it as well. I had a sliced BBQ sandwich and a baked potato. BBQ was flavorful, had a great bark and was tender and delicious. The potato was huge. Service was great throughout. The only downside was the cream corn that we didn't really care for. Oh yeah, wife and daughter loved the banana pudding and rated it as one of the best they've ever had (and my daughter is a banana pudding afficianado!) Overall it was a great meal and we'll definitely be back. We just won't get the cream corn. Definitely recommend you stop in and give them a shot.

Wait staff prompt and friendly. Indoor/outdoor atmosphere great. The food was ok with plenty of potential in comparison to many Texas BBQ restaurants. Sandwich with fries. The bun was brioche but, just out of the bag. Recommend buttered and/or toasted. Meat was good; asked for lean and got lean. Fries were good but in house made would put you over the top. BBQ sauce was a perfect balance of sweet, tangy and spicy. Wife got baked potato with chopped beef and was very pleased.

This restraunt is a hidden gem! The food was delicious! The wait staff was very nice! We had an awesome time! The customers were even nice. This is definitely a family friendly place to bring everyone. The music was the best. The kids were singing some songs they knew and they were eating and there were also some Easter eggs placed around for the kids to play with. 10/10 experience. We will be back soon!
