Great Sausage, but be sure to have him weigh the deer meat you bring in or else you may come up short like I did.

The brisket was really dry, and the portions are skimpy. They don’t list their prices on a sign or anything. It honestly seemed like the guy working behind the counter was making up prices from the top of his head. I ordered a chopped brisket sandwich and sausage and it cost over $ 20.

Excellent smoke turkey leg — best I have had yet! The potato salad is creamy and delicious as well, and the turkey salad(I think it was turkey) was heavenly! Smokey and flavorful, yum! Friendly and polite staff too, will be back and highly recommend.

I ordered a jalapeño and cheese sausage on a bun today while out at the farm with my family. I walked 20 feet to the table and sat down to eat the sausage, and I was disgusted when I noticed ants crawling all over it. Yes, ants. I immediately took it back inside and showed it to the guy working. He gave me a new one, but didn’t act surprised at all. That really made me wonder. I took the new one back to the table and threw it in the trash. I seriously question the cleanliness of this establishment.

I was very disappointed. The meat, particularly the brisket, was very dry. The chef/salesman was very pushy, we asked for a half chicken and he put two halves in our bag. He asked if we wanted BQ sauce and thinking it was complimentary we said sure and then he tried putting a $ 5 small jar of sauce in our bag. Pricing seemed adlib; he charged us $ 48 for a chicken, ¼ lb. of brisket and 2 link of sausages — nothing was weighed. We will not revisit this place I’d rather go to Rudy’s.

Do not understand the pricing at this place. Somehow I paid $ 33 for a half pound of ribs and a pound of bacon. Their ribs do have a great smoky flavor. But the place is tiny and the line is always long.

That jalapeño cheddar deer sausage that they’re compulsively feeding you samples of inside Frobergs is really special. We get it every time we go. We’ve also tried the smoked gouda, boudain stuffed chickens, and fresh goat cheese. Everything is really delicious, and never lasts more than a few days in the fridge. It is a little pricey but you absolutely get what you pay for.

Went yesterday and it was not so good, the sausage was ehh and nothing special. The brisket was bloody and tough and not edible, it was horrible. They do offer a good variety of meat and cheese and the sample of turkey breakfast sausage was actually ok. Since the staff was super friendly I wanted to help out so I bought a red velvet roll and it was not good either. They refrigerated it and it ruined the texture of the frosting and made the cake dry. Cake should always be served room temp. This place is very pricy and fell short of expectations. I usually agree with Unilocal but they have this one wrong — this place is expensive and the food is seriously below par.

Jalapeño cheese sausage, peppered beef jerky, smoked gouda cheese… yes please. If you are a meat or cheese lover then you should stop by. Do be careful when biting into the sausage though, it was so juicy it spit out all the juice at me. I ended up smelling like meat most of the rest of the day. Luckily, my veggie beau wasn’t too offended. It does get a bit crowded in there, but if you are patient, you won’t be disappointed. Prices are pretty reasonable too. As some who just occasionally cheats with meat, I was happy to have a place to indulge happily in my meaty dreams. Will definitely stop by here any time I go to Froberg’s.

A good smell with a good product, but way too small.

If you’re picking strawberries at Froberg’s but need to eat something more substantial than just fresh strawberries, Greak’s is a great option for some sausages. Located in a small wooden shack next to the market, they do BBQ here. While I’ve never tried their other cue(brisket, ribs), they’re known for their sausages here. A must get whenever I’m here is their venison-sausage link. Nice mix of meat with just the right spices to do the trick. One of these days I’ll try their other BBQ to see if Alvin’s BBQ can match up to the hard hitters in Pearland.

My mind must be playing tricks on me. I saw a big sign next to the Froberg of Greak’s Smoke House and I thought Steak, lol. Maybe it is my stomach talking to me. If you stop by Frobeg, YOUNEED to stop in this little shack! I was offered a venisen cheese sausage in Froberg’s and it was delicious! It was lean and no gamey flavor. Without hesitation, I proceeded to this shack. Inside I saw one wall lined with display refrigerators with all sorts of neat stuff like sausage, meat, jerkies, and a bunch of goodies. I was really surprised. There was a line extending outside. I really didn’t get to do much eye shopping because I didn’t have time. I got my sausages for $ 14 and had to head back to Houston.

Greak’s Smoke House is this tiny little building of delight about 4 ft away from the Froberg’s Farm warehouse. They offer a variety of smoked and frozen meats, drinks, and a few refrigerated sides that might surprise you with how damn good they are. If you’ve been tempted by the free sausage samples they hand out inside Froberg’s, then head on over to Greak’s where you can get a healthy length of goodness on a bun or on a stick. Condiment options tend to be mustard or BBQ sauce. I’d stick with the mustard. Be hungry, though, because its a beast or even split one with a friend. You’ve been warned. If you’re just looking for something to take home and munch on over the next few days, let me fully endorse their Smoked Chicken Salad. It’s so good it makes me forget how much I despise mayonnaise. We take home a little container of it(enough for about 5 sandwiches) and count the minutes until the next day’s lunch. We love it. Prices seem a little high but you’re definitely getting your money’s worth. They don’t give you an itemized receipt but I’m guessing the sausage on a bun and container of chicken salad are about $ 7 a piece. 3.8 stars. Big fans.

Greak’s Smoke House has attained N.E.W.T. level mastery in the Care of Magical Creatures, or as muggles might call it, runnin’ a five star meat shop/smoke house that is tucked away in a small town off a county road. You probably never would know this exists unless you got in the car for a drive to Froberg’s Farm next door. And in small town lingo I don’t mean next door like fifty football fields away, I mean like ten feet away and they share the same parking lot. This place has amazing food but unfortunately not a huge digital footprint, beyond a page with no reviews(FTR!) here on Unilocal,a hat tip in someone’s flickr album, and two reviews on Yahoo local. So they definitely earn a five star review based not on how awesome their food is and how friendly their workers are to every customer(family owned, yes but slash family run?) but because this is a «local» place that deserves some positive attention. The workers are super friendly — which deserves an additional complimenting hat tip, especially if it is family run, that the teenagers are always cheerful, helpful, and the nice all-American sort of teenagers, definitely not the«Urg, have to work today, sadface and grumpyface» kind of teenager that you traditionally find cashiering at the large corporate overlord supermarkets(see companion review for Froberg’s Farm on why Whole Foods is just terrible.) The parking lot of Froberg’s is situated that you can either park directly in front of the grocery building part, or off to the side under the trees. You want to park under the trees maybe for the shade(in June, I am guessing yes!) but also because when you open the car door the smell instantly hits you and you realize«WOW!» If you park further away you are going to get a little less awesomeness, but it will still be there. The deer related meat stuff is possibly what they are known for(if ‘ya know, you hit a deer with your car on the way to Froberg’s you can just pile it into your trunk and salvage your day that you have dinner for a few nights) but they also have one of the absolute best, most favoritest treats of mine — the jalapeño and cheese smoked venison sausage — that pretty much secures my attendance at any cocktail party, barn raising party, cult meeting, fantasy football draft, or quinceanera anywhere in the city.
