There is a wonderful outside seating area that I can't wait to go back and enjoy, the inside is just as nice. Let's talk about this BBQ, I do BBQ reviews and this was my top spot of the week. I look for a great bark and this place had it, plus it's perfectly seasoned. The brisket was moist and tender, the ribs had a bit of sweetness but not overpowering and they came right off the bone! The jalapeno sausage is also balanced perfectly so it wasn't too hot and they don't use cheddar cheese which was a nice surprise. A MUST TRY!

I am so glad that i found this place…read more Very hole-in-the-wall type of vibe, I wasn't sure if I went in the right door when I walked in. The food is so good. I heard the braised cabbage is good so I gave it a try and I loved it, I would eat pounds of that stuff. The brisket was very good with the right amount of tenderness and flavor without being overcooked. The Mac and cheese was interesting because it had loads of spices but it was also great, I definitely appreciated the spin on it more than regular mac n cheese. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to come here.

Given the extreme Texas heat, we opted to take this back to our hotel to eat. Definitely make sure to check their hours before coming as they are open later on Thursdays to Sundays, but close at 3pm on Mondays-Wednesdays. Each order came with slices of white bread, pickles, and pickled onion. Also since we did not eat there, we did not realize that there were no BBQ sauce, our fault and big mistake. 1/2 lbs Brisket The slices were lean cut. It had a smokey flavor, however a bit dry. I think if we had some sauce, it would've been better or if they had fatty brisket. 1/2 rack of Ribs These were good, slightly tender with a bite to it. I prefer my ribs to be a bit more tender where it's almost falling off the bone. The broccoli salad was a great contrast to the meats. Overall, a decent BBQ place. Food was a solid 3/5 but service was 5/5.

This was just good old fashioned bbq. This place has the soul that Daynes was missing. Classic…read moremeats, well done, classic sides, good portions, and affordable. What more can you ask for? Is this up there with the great bbq places in the state? No. It's not trying to be. Hint hint daynes. Its a cafeteria style, you pick your meal, you go down the line, pick you sides and sauces..and your done. We had the three meat plate, and brisket sandwich plate. The meats on the plate were brisket, jalapeño sausage, and turkey. The sides on both plates were spicy pinto beans, Mac, and green beans. We had regular and spicy bbq. All the meats were good to great. The brisket was good, but missing that bark we like. The turkey was not dry. The best thing here, is when they say spicy, they mean spicy. Like runny nose spicy. Man it was good. The spicy bbq sauce was especially great. So just be careful because the beans were bordering on too spicy. The sausage was what daynes wished it could be. I know I keep ragging on daynes, but come here first, then go there and tell me if daynes belongs on any top list! I would pick still smoking any day! The Mac was delicious. The green beans were out of this world. Why not a 5? Well let's be honest, once you tried the true best in the state, it's hard to live up to it! As great as this place is, it's not snows or franklins or burnt bean epic. We still will definitely stop by when travel again!
