At 200 E San Bernard St, this BBQ haven invites locals and travelers alike to indulge in a menu overflowing with rich, smoky flavors and bold, satisfying textures.
Kenjo’s BBQ specializes in an impressive array of barbecue classics — from their signature 3 Meat Plate to inventive dishes like the Brisket and Sausage Pizza, and their fan-favorite Brisket Nachos.

And for those who enjoy a little zest, you can't go wrong with the Spicy Mac n Cheese — a dish that lovers of bold flavors will find addictively satisfying, even if it comes with a little heat.

Stopped in and ordered a 3 meat plate, in my opinion was worth $21 and a homemade cookie :) Food is delicious, the young lady on the register could smile a bit . Overall this is a great place to eat. Great old time bbq place vibe when you walk in. That’s how you know the food will be good. Will definitely return.
Best bbq in brazoria county so far. I've tried lots of bbq in angleton, lake jackson, brazoria and Kenjos is the best. Me and my girl go straight for the brisket sandwhich. Tender juicy brisket fat rendered perfectly. A crust to die for. With a real nice spice. The spicy mac n cheese is the bomb! My girl hates spicy food but she absolutely loves the mac n cheese even though she dies while eating it. Texas twinkle never disappoint. Big thick slices of tender brisket with cream cheese sandwiched in a smoked jalepeno!?!?! YES PLEASE. The sauce they serve with them is epic. A perfect pairing. Goes good on anything. Spend about 40$ total and me and my girl are very happily STUFFED. Gunna go hone and take a nap. Don't skip this place. I will return regularly.
The Grilled Cheese Brisket Sandwich is sooo good!! Definitely recommend! The sides were not. The green beans had to much vinegar and the mac n cheese was runny. The staff was very friendly.
The best boudin to be found anywhere, anytime! Every side at Kenjo's is on point - but oh that mac n cheese! Great pork ribs too. The brisket a bit dry but that's what happens when you come late. Great food with phenomenal staff and friendly owner makes this a place to revisit often.
Food was great! We travel a lot for my husband's job and we are somewhat new to this area. I have to say this was the best food we have ordered out in years! And the staff was also very kind and friendly! Will definitely be ordering several more times!
