"Brotherton's is about a mile off IH-35. It sits in a small strip center located on a side road. It was difficult to see as you approach, and I relied on my GPS. Once in the parking lot, there are signs at the top of the building exterior facade. Iarrived at about a quarter till noon on a Thursday. The parking lot is not huge, but there were several available spots. Iwalked in and was pleasantly surprised to see no line. The staff were very friendly and ordering was straight forward. I hadtried their boudin at the Houston BBQ Festival and knew I wanted more. I also ordered brisket, a rib, and jalapeño cheddarsausage. I went with collard greens and the green chile mac n cheese for sides. I also got a couple more boudin links, brisket,and a pulled pork sandwich to go. I made my way to the main seating area, which is located on the other end of the building. It was a nice area that belied the building's plain exterior. Though there aren't a ton of tables, seating was ample, and Ididn't see any one wait for a seat. The seating area was neat, clean, and had a cool retro feel. I liked looking at the hatsfrom other barbecue joints that were on shelving at the top of the walls. The moist brisket was excellent, flavorful and, well,moist! The rib was also excellent. It had a sweet flavor and was also moist. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was also very good! Iwas a little disappointed in the boudin, as it was a little on the dry side. It wasn't bad, but was a notch or two below theother meats. The collard greens looked really good, but had a little bit of a bitter finish. The mac n cheese looked a littledry on top, but once I dug in, I found it moist, with a fantastic creamy cheese flavor! By the time I finished, I knew I had togo back through and order another jalapeño cheddar sausage link and another rib to go. I told the staff how much I liked therib and learned they use a mango habanero glaze. The ribs, brisket, sausage, and mac n cheese were definite"
