Small family business offering a simple BBQ sandwich menu. Sandwiches come with fries and a drink. The prices are very affordable and the sandwich tastes great and the fries are well seasoned and crispy. The owners are very friendly and provide good service. The interior is simple with enough seating. Parking is a bit of an issue due to the lot being used by many other businesses.

It’s honestly frustrating coming here. Every other day they are closed. I try to support black owned businesses, but it’s really hard when they don’t even respect their customers times, There’s people traveling from all over Houston to enjoy your food, the least you can do is have ACTUAL operating hours. Your business will never be successful if you can’t even operate on the times that YOU set. Editing : because I just witnessed two other customers try to visit. Do not come here unless you are for sure they will be open.

I was in the area and decided to give Fainmous a try after seeing the reviews about their lunch specials. I had the sandwich special, BBQ sandwich, fries, and a drink for about $8. Considering today's prices, the deal can't be beat. You can choose beef, pork, or chicken, and even upgrade to two meats for just $2 more (still a steal at $10). I tried their homemade pineapple tea, which was very tasty and refreshing, not too sweet. The sandwich itself was smoky and flavorful with a spicy kick from the sauce (they also offer a regular sauce option). Great value, great flavor definitely worth a visit.

So delicious! Went for the first time and will definitely be back. The fries were amazing—the seasoning was absolutely perfect. The pineapple tea was sooo good, and the brisket and pulled pork were incredibly juicy and full of flavor. On top of that, the owners were so nice and very welcoming. I’ll definitely be back and will be telling everyone about this place!

I’ve got to give a 1 star for now. I drove 25 minutes one way to try their food. The hours online said open from 11-9 today. I’m here and it’s 1:50pm and the lights are off and the door is locked. No one is inside. There is not a note or sign on the door and the phone number listed is disconnected. Maybe they’re out of business. If not, it just takes a few minutes to update your hours on google. At the very least have a working phone number. I saw this place on TikTok via a creator named Nakia and had planned to do my own review today. I’m not sure if I will be back or not. I’ve wasted my time, my gas and I’m still hungry. Update: While I was sitting here two guys drove up and pulled on the door too. So in less than 30 minutes that’s at least 3 people who wasted time and effort while trying to support this business on today.
