The CFS was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and tasted great. We arrived around 4pm so it wasn't very busy, but they had a steady call-in business going.

We'll definitely be back in the future.

The story I got is that the oldest daughter took over the store from her parents. Her sister and another gal work the place and you couldn't find any nicer folks.

We stopped by on a whim based on a Facebook post. It's a very small older dusty building with limited seating and no restroom. They do not take cards. You have to pay cash or Zelle. They will sell out and close without notice. But we lucked out. We didn't know that most people call ahead and preferably a day or two ahead. We did have to wait about 45 minutes for our food. We were glad they hadn't already sold out. But it was quite the foodventure. Based on the aforementioned Facebook post, I ordered the Mr Big loaded baked potato. It has ham and brisket, cheese, sour cream, and bbq sauce. It came in an open faced to go container because there was no way it was closing. I had to dig down through several inches of meat just to reach the actual potato. I had to give some to my husband just to be able to close it to take home. Then I had to ask for a piece of tape. Well worth the price. My husband got the strawberry lemonade. Too sweet for me. He liked it. But it is served in a large mason jar which you get to keep. It had real strawberries in it. She even came and refilled it when it was about half gone. He got the mix plate. You can choose one or two or three meats. He got brisket and hot links. Large portions of meat. You don't get to choose the sides. You get potato salad and baked beans. He was very pleased with the amount of food. If you come expecting too much as far as atmosphere you might be disappointed. But if you want great food and a lot of it then call them up and bring your cash.

Inside is where things get confusing. The place does not know what it wants to be. The décor is a wild mix of Mexican, Americana, and random thrift store energy. There is a pig with glasses reading a book, Posada cutouts, tie dyed rainbow tablecloths, cowboy chairs, metal chairs, and vibes that do not agree with each other. The food is good, not great. This could be a go to spot, but it desperately needs an interior decorator or at least a single, unified idea. Right now it feels like several restaurants had a meeting and none of them left.

We arrived around 1pm on a Saturday so we were sweating that a place that was on the 2025 Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ joints list may have a line or worse be sold out Lucky for us we arrived to front row parking and a short line inside the door. Super nice folk! Matt is one of the pit masters and was leading the cutting line for us. We pretty much had rehearsed our order as we had plenty of time to study the menu. Brisket, Ribs, Sausage, jalapeno poppers, and potato salad. The brisket was near perfection with a deep smoke ring, moist, tender, well-rendered, simply seasoned, with an excellent crust that had slight crunch. Ribs were also fantastic - meaty, smoky, and slightly sweet. Sausage was some of the best I've had this year. Potato salad was a memorable, creamy mustard style for us potato salad junkies. The restaurant seating is not big area but they have plenty of covered outdoor-seating. Lots of fun signage to gawk at too. Our bonus was a personalized pit tour with Matt. So fun learning about their process, learning the story of the pits they have acquired, and the secret to their brisket's crunchy crust. Get there! You will be rewarded

The restaurant was clean, well-maintained, and had a welcoming atmosphere. Once we reached the counter, the staff greeted us warmly and had our order ready in no time. The drink station was also clean and well-stocked, and we quickly found a seat to enjoy our meal. Everything was presented nicely and looked absolutely delicious. The ribs were the standout for me--tender, juicy, and nearly falling off the bone. They were so flavorful that I didn't even need BBQ sauce. My wife really enjoyed the moist brisket, and we both loved the mac and cheese. The half chicken was well-seasoned and stayed juicy, while the sausage had great flavor and a satisfying snap. The only reason for four stars instead of five was a couple of the side dishes. We tried the jalapeño cream corn, which used pickled jalapeños. The flavor was a little unusual for our taste, though it may simply be a style we aren't accustomed to. The potato salad was also more tart than we expected. That said, we still finished everything on our plates! Overall, it was a great experience with excellent barbecue, friendly service, and a clean dining area. We'll definitely stop by Brendyn's again when we're in the area. Go check them out
