  Feges BBQ Review: A Texas Monthly Top 100 Contender Feges BBQ arrives with the impressive distinction of being a Texas Monthly Top 100 BBQ award winner, immediately setting a high bar for diners. Located as an anchor in a bustling strip mall, the setting offers practical amenities—plenty of parking, ample indoor and outdoor seating, and even a dedicated play area for children. The atmosphere is casual and geared toward sports fans, with lots of projection television screens tuned to the big games. However, despite the top-tier ranking and excellent setting, the culinary experience itself proved to be a mixed bag. The Meats: High Expectations, Mixed Results The Brisket offered a glimpse of excellence, featuring a nice, dark bark and a robust, savory smoke flavor that hits all the right notes. However, the overall texture was a little dry, resulting in a fairly standard, unremarkable bite that lacked the supreme juiciness expected from a Top 100 contender. The specialty Big Red Brisket Burnt Ends were highly anticipated but ultimately polarizing. While they possessed a good textural chew, they were also a little dry. The dominant flavor was a strong, almost overwhelming burst of the classic Big Red soda. While novel, the profile would have been significantly elevated by dialing back the Big Red intensity and introducing a touch more balancing sweetness to round out the flavor. The Chili and Jack Cheese Sausage was the most disappointing of the trio. The texture was noticeably off, failing to achieve the preferred double grind that often characterizes exceptional Texas sausage. Furthermore, the jack cheese did not melt and ooze as expected, and the casing proved to be a little tough, detracting from the overall enjoyment. The Sides: Moments of Elevation Feges' sides offered some unexpected highlights, demonstrating creativity and skillful preparation. The Hog Fat Cornbread was a wonderful surprise. It delivered a satisfyingly sweet flavor profile, beautifully enhanced by the accompanying cinnamon butter, which added a luxurious richness to the culinary experience. A small suggestion for elevation would be the addition of small pieces of corn for texture and earthiness. The Sprouts were executed perfectly. They featured the right amount of crispness and a beautiful char, combining a good balance of sweet and spicy flavors. This side dish was arguably the strongest item sampled, showcasing precision and flavor ingenuity. The Verdict Feges BbQ is clearly an establishment that takes its craft seriously, evidenced by the quality of its bark and the impressive technique applied to its sides. Yet, when judged against the benchmark of being a "Texas Monthly Top 100" destination, the experience felt decidedly average. The dryness issues in the main brisket cut and the textural failings of the sausage indicate room for significant improvement. Overall, Feges BbQ feels more accurately ranked between the 50 and 100 spots on the Top 100 list. It offers a solid, but ultimately uninspired, barbecue experience that doesn't quite live up to the promise of its high-profile accolades.

  Feges is a fantastic gem of a restaurant in Spring Branch. I would definitely recommend the classics like brisket and ribs, but you can’t go wrong with their burger. It’s a double smash patty that I’d put up against any burger in Houston. Ross helped us out while we were there and did a fantastic job!
