Initially, this review was going to be a 4 star review. Here was the draft in my head:
Sista White's Cafe is a quaint little cafe. The service was awesome. It was as if you were family. I had ordered the 4 meat plate since I don't live in the area and I don't know when I'll be back! I ordered the ribs, brisket, chicken, and pulled pork. For my sides I went with cabbage and collared greens. I got out of there at about $18 after the sweet tea.
They had first brought me out some green beans. I let them know and without question or hesitation, they told me to keep the green beans they'll bring me out the collard greens. The dry rub here is definitely the star of the show. It is most evident on the ribs, but of course it's encrusted on the chicken skin and brisket crust. I think I could've done without the pulled pork. The cabbage was nice as it was probably one of the lighter side. Collard greens were not bad either. Ultimately, I'd probably give this a 4.5 stars. While I enjoyed the ribs and brisket, they were not the most moist that I've had. (Not to say they're dry!) Also, I didn't enjoy the bbq sauce too much, personally I thought there's too much ketchup in that mix.
TL;DR Service is excellent. Dry rub is the star of the show. I particularly enjoyed the ribs and brisket the most. Also I can vouch for their vegetable sides.
P.S. I chose to save some of my food rather than scarf it down and feel terribly full all day. THAT DRY RUB BOI. After it really sinks into the meat, maaaaaan the leftovers are even better. That is what pushed this place to 5 stars. -

Place is pretty clean, servers are nice, food comes out quick and taste good. Portion sizes are good and cost is affordable. Honestly not the best Mac and cheese around, but this specific dish Pork N Mac with the meat (I like to do half pulled pork and half chopped brisket) the Mac, and the BBQ sauce all taste really great together. I highly recommend it! There are other BBQ options if interested. I'm not a big fan of the fountain drinks. Heads up, you will smell like BBQ by the time you leave :).

Absolutely the best barbecue in the Freeport area! It might be the best I've ever had and I've lived in Texas my entire life.
The brisket was tender, moist, and all lean. They don't try to go cheap by slicing up the fatty side and serving it as sliced brisket. I hate when restaurants do that.
The sausage was pre-sliced and delicious, and the sides were good. I got potato salad and mac and cheese. The potato salad was not chunky (which I would have preferred) but still had good flavor. The mac and cheese was great. Not dried out like a lot of places.
The staff was extremely friendly, warm, and inviting.
If you're in the area, try it out. You won't be disappointed. They can hold their own with any place in Houston! -

Sista White Cafe is awesome! Texas BBQ at its very best! They close at 1pm and do not open on weekends. Come early and get steaming hot plates. Sides are homemade as well as desserts. I've had brisket, ribs, sausage and turkey. All good and I'd order any of them again. The Red Velvet cake is like crack!
Nothing fancy nor should it be. The place smells smoky but isn't. The staff are super friendly and plates come out fast and full. I learned my lesson the first time. I now don't order the three meat because it's too much.
Hurry Back! -

If you want a local gem...this is it!! The BBQ is amazing! From the moment you walk in, you feel like family and are taken great care of. I have lived in this area my whole life and just found this place and I was AMAZED from the atmosphere to the food. The portion size of the 2 meat plate was great, I was full before I finished the meat and literally had my sides left. But you better believe I stuffed them down...SO good!! Definitely my new favorite BBQ place!
