When you walk in, there's a clear line leading up to the register, with menus posted along the way and a large menu board up front, which makes ordering pretty easy. They offer a wide variety of options. The day we went, they had a chopped beef sandwich combo with a drink and a side for around $10, which felt like a solid deal. For my sides, I tried the mashed potatoes, potato salad, creamed corn, and okra. The okra was a standout--fresh, crispy, and really well done. The potato salad was also very good and worth getting. The creamed corn was something I hadn't had before--it included bacon and had a really unique flavor. It might not be for everyone, but I personally couldn't stop eating it, so I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. As for the chopped beef sandwich, it wasn't my favorite. It was a bit dry, even after adding extra barbecue sauce, and I didn't find it especially flavorful. That said, others in my group actually thought it leaned on the sweeter side, so your experience may vary. One thing that really stood out was the service. The staff was super friendly, patient, and happy to answer questions and help with recommendations. Overall, I'd say it's worth stopping by if you're in the area. If you're up for comparing, there's another barbecue spot a few miles down the road--Choke Canyon--that I've also enjoyed, especially for their sandwiches. Makes for a fun side-by-side if you're a BBQ fan.

If it wasn't for that, I'd probably give 0-1 star. I got two meat. Brisket and ribs and ordered fried okra and macaroni and cheese. Fried okra was good but everything else was no bueno. Meat felt, looked, and tasted like it was left over from a day/days prior. Flavor was pretty nonexistent. My wife got chicken tenders and fries with a side of gravy. It was a kids meal. Hers was the best of all the food. The chicken tenders were good with the gravy. The fries were heavily battered and crispy. My friend got brisket sandwich. She did not like it. Mexican rice as a side and she said it was mid. Lots of food left over on our plates. Here's the thing- I came on a Tuesday afternoon. I'd assume most of their smoking happens Friday-Sunday. I'm sure the food is better on the weekend.

For accompanying there are home made coolers. Also they serve breakfast in the AM and the biscuits are the best in the area.

The sausage is a little different; it's 'polish wedding sausage'. The brisket is delicious. As for the sides: Choose between normal potato salad or warm German potato salad, coleslaw or Sauer kraut, and beans/okra/corn. They also offer a soup of the day, fish, chicken fried steak among other items! Also, they sell homemade beef jerky and I bought it all!

Ordered the day before and was cooked to perfection! Trying to hit all the best BBQ places in the Great State and McMillan's is right at the top! First of all, anyplace whose walls are covered in dollar bills stands out but the BBQ is top-notch. And Mr. McMillan, standing behind the counter and sharing his BBQ secrets and lore made it even more fun. We shared the 3 meat plate with brisket, sausage and ribs, sides of coleslaw and beans. The fatty brisket was perfection and the lean was amazingly tender. Sausage had that nice snap to the casing - so good. Husband loved the ribs but they were not for me. Coleslaw had that nice vinegary tang with sweetness just the way I like it - not creamy, thank goodness. Beans had a nice good Texas flavor. And Mr. McMillan kept us entertained while we chowed down - a wonderful way to spend lunchtime off a Texas highway. By the way, the address is a little misleading - it's not even visible from Hwy. 59. Turn off at the exit for Fannin/2987 and go south, then west on the first street just a block, next to the post office - or as Mr. McMillan says 'just follow the smoke'!
