This used to be a 5 star review but I'm dropping it to a one star review due to just paying $15 for…read morea sandwich that looks like this (2 small shredded pieces of turkey) and rude service. Next to it is a photo of my sandwich from my former 5 star review. When I addressed it with a young man who was working the the window, he asked me if I wanted him to remake it, I said yes. He handed me the second sandwich and said "here you go. I made it exactly the same way as the first one." so instead of just adding a few more whole pieces of meat, this guy went and made the exact same sandwich with meat, cheese and bread, and threw the original sandwich away. What a waste! We stop here every trip we take on I-35. We won't be anymore. Thanks for the service, Andrew. Yes, your name is on my receipt.

Broken drive through speaker that had been broken for a long time per the employee taking orders…read more Long hair employees (mid back length) with no hair nets. Employee's handling money and preparing food without washing hands. Equipment with grease build up and generally a dirty kitchen. Hoped this place had improved in the 6 months since our last visit. Unfortunately it's gone further downhill. I'd avoid this obviously mismanaged location. Looks like absentee owners who don't care enough to keep it clean and enforce health regulations. Just my opinion.

Jimmy John's - This is the second sandwich, believe it or not, the first was worse. Not worth the money and terrible service.

Our first visit on our weekend stay in Belton was for breakfast, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Even…read morethe cappuccinos were better than some coffee shops. So, we went back for supper and enjoyed that. We had bacon and egg tacos, brisket, sausage, green beans and chili. All very good! Next visit to Belton, I'm going to try the cinnamon rolls. The staff was welcoming. The service was top notch. The tables were clean. We can't wait to visit again.

It's Labor Day. I'm driving back from Granbury to Hutto, and I think about my Texas Monthly…read morepassport. I'm addicted to stamps. I'm addicted to putting points on the board. What BBQ place on the list happens to be open on a Monday (and quite frankly, seven days a week)? Miller's Smokehouse in Belton. Miller's Smokehouse has one of the longest tenures on the Texas Monthly Top 50, making the list four times in a row (the third-highest behind Louie Mueller and Snow's). They've got their business down. As I arrived, I parked in a free parking lot just across the street and got into the line around 12:30. The line moves pretty efficiently, and you order separately from the barbecue line. I think this immediately felt disheartening as a barbecue fan. You kinda expect to get your food while in line and watch the assembly of workers put it together, instead of them being in a separate location in the back giving you order numbers. It doesn't feel like a true Texas barbecue experience and more like a Dickey's Barbecue Pit. Instead of going for a tray, I opted for one of their specialty sandwiches, the El Gallo Picante. It has their spicy hot link sausage and their smoked chicken topped with coleslaw, onions, jalapeños, pickles, and barbecue sauce. I also got a side of their broccoli salad out of curiosity and a roll of their homemade cornbread. I got my drink and sat down with my roll of cornbread. It wasn't long until my tray came to me. The sandwich stood on its own as a behemoth. So much chicken and sausage fell out of the bun. The sandwich was less concerned about being a sandwich and more focused on creating a space to try and contain a mixture of ingredients. It wasn't bad, but it was hard to say anything other than that I felt uninspired by the entire thing. The sausage was fine, the chicken was kinda dry, but everything together with all the separate ingredients masked the meats' faults. The broccoli salad was a unique side that I had never seen before at a barbecue joint, so I wanted to try it. It was cool, but not something I'd get again. As for the cornbread, it was quality, but if that's the most impressive part of the meal, then I'm questioning the establishment's ability to create a good barbecue experience. I think it's so cool to have so many special barbecue places near me and the ability to try so many, but I'm starting to wonder if the places that stay on the list for four editions start to lose their oomph. Do they become complacent knowing they already have their business and are established? Is there any need to try and push the envelope when you're just a recurring guest on top barbecue lists? Is it a me issue? Is it my fault I went to Burnt Bean a week prior and now I'm trying a place that sells all-day barbecue? With your big brick-and-mortar and your TV screen menus, you're not as hungry as you used to be.
