    The first time I came to Schoepf's was when I was young, so it was really nice revisiting this…read moreplace for their great BBQ! They recently placed as the #1 BBQ spot in Texas for 2026, so of course I had to swing by. We came around 1 or 2 pm on a Saturday, and there was barely any wait to order our food. I got the beef rib, the brisket, the poblano jack sausage, potato salad, and the mac and cheese. By far, the beef rib was PHENOMENAL! Juicy, melty fatty, and easily able to tear off pieces with just a plastic fork alone. This was perfection. The brisket, I wish that I had specified that we wanted moist fatty, as I think that we were just given the leaner cut of the meat, but regardless still good! Poblano jack sausage was cheesy and tasty as well! After you order your meat, you order your sides, and I really liked the potato salad and mac. Both were great! Onions, pickles, and bread were all complimentary, and you could get as much as you wanted. I also greatly preferred the spicy bbq sauce than their normal. The interior of the restaruant is homey and country-style. Also loved their selection of sweet teas and sodas! Glad that this place is so close to home!

    Out of chicken at 3 pm during the week is not good planning…read more Don't go there if your hungry you will spend a fortune Food overpriced (got 1/2 pound ribs (2 ribs), 1/2 pound lean brisket (4 pieces with half fat on them , hate to see regular brisket and how much fat would be on them!! Med. Potato salad ($11) and a drink total $70!!! Meats OK but no seasoning very bland Better value at other bbq places around paying for decorations and large music venue in back

    First time here so we figured we give it a try. Just looking for a newer BBQ place to eat at in…read moreTexas. i had the moist Brisket sandwich with Mac and Cheese, mac and cheese was luke warm not hot like aI expected, Meat was a little fatty to eat through but again first time so will try something else next time we are there. My wife had the Pork Loin sandwich and there was plenty off meat for the sandwich so we took some home for our Fur Baby. She had the Potatoes with Cheese and scallions. Potatoes were also like warm and the cheese did not even melt on the potatoes, The potatoes were done but could have been warmer in order to melt the cheese. Serive was goof and it di not take long for the meal to be ready for us to pick up. Good surroundings and atmosphere was quiet for the time we were in the restaurant. Just wish those items were warmer with our meals. Thank you

    Overall the food was decent, albeit a little underwhelming. While the meal was sufficient enough…read moreto satisfy my hunger, it did not leave me wanting to return any time soon. The brisket was not as tender as I expected, particularly from a restaurant that highlights brisket as a specialty. The pork ribs were even less tender, the meat was difficult to pull off the bone. The mac & cheese was ok, but the flavor was not good enough to compensate for it being lukewarm. Moreover, everything was a bit too dry for my taste. It wasn't bad, it just didn't quite hit the level of expectation I had for a BBQ restaurant in this price point. I'd rather pay a little more and receive a much higher quality product.
