We immediately took our food the car to eat and the food was not as good as it once was. The fries were cold and stale. Look ok if you're crunched on time the company needs to order thinner fries like McDonald's. The bbq sandwhich was tough and dry, and it was a Tx toast style bun instead of a hamburger style bun. The young lady at the gift shop didn't acknowledge me even after I greeted her first. The young ladies behind the bakery counter were just the same. The only people that acknowledged us first were the older folks behind the food counter. Just to show there's some missed training opportunities across the board. I'm stopping by ina couple of days and I hope to see some changes

They answered my questions and were not pushy while I made my choices. Take time to walk around, there is something for everyone! Jerky Cookies Candy Steaks Sausage .........

The potato salad is another quiet win, better than average, and a great side for nearly anything on the menu. The brisket is tender, though I wish it had more pepper. Same story with the salmon, its solid but nothing overly memorable. The ribs didn't hit my personal taste; they lean very sweet, best description is big red with cream soda l, but they're extremely tender and could definitely appeal to anyone with a sweeter preference. The peach cobbler is really good. It's built more like a bread pudding, served warm with ice cream, not overly sweet, and light enough that I ended up finishing the whole serving. The staff here is genuinely welcoming, and the place has a fun, lively energy. While eating, I overheard locals saying they eat here twice a day and at current beef prices, that tells you something.

A Texas Monthly Top 50 Standout: Reviewing the #8 BBQ Joint…read more We recently visited a true gem of the Texas barbecue scene, a small-town joint rightfully holding the number eight spot on Texas Monthly's prestigious Top 50 list. From the moment we walked in, the experience was exceptional. The venue itself is charming, offering both inside and outside dining options, but it was the staff that truly set the stage--friendly, attentive, and constantly ensuring we lacked nothing. This commitment to quality clearly extends from the service right into the pit. The Meats: Smoked to Perfection The Brisket immediately validated the restaurant's high ranking. It was wonderfully moist and executed a beautiful balance between rich beef flavor and a robust, smoky profile. It was, simply put, a masterclass in low-and-slow cooking. The Big Red Ribs were a definite highlight, offering the perfect bite and pull that every rib enthusiast craves, yet still achieving that desirable "fall-off-the-bone" tenderness. What elevated them further was the Big Red glaze, adding a unique, sweet-and-spicy dimension over a classic, peppery bark. Rounding out the trio was the Jalapeño Cheese Sausage. This was a superb, double-grind, in-house creation, featuring a great texture and a pronounced peppery kick that perfectly complemented the melted cheese without overpowering the meat. Comforting and Creative Sides The sides were crafted with the same care as the main event. The Gumbo had a deep, savory brown gravy rich with brisket flavor and a prominent onion note, though it could have benefited from a bit more rice and okra for texture. The Creamed Corn was incredibly tasty, served thick and creamy with just the right level of hidden heat, making it wonderfully addictive. The Potato Casserole offered a delightful mix of creamy texture and savory flavor, topped with a nice, crunchy onion layer and enhanced by a perfect balance of cheese and sour cream. The Decadent Grand Finale The dessert menu showed an impressive culinary ambition. The Pork Belly Cheesecake was absolutely decadent. It was a rich, smooth cheesecake topped with a savory-sweet pork belly crumble and finished with a maple bourbon drizzle. It was a jaw-dropping, memorable way to conclude the meal. To top off the already stellar service, the complimentary Blue Bell Ice Cream was a wonderful, smile-inducing touch. Served with a cup of rainbow sprinkles to pour on top, it was the perfect casual and friendly end to a magnificent feast. Final Verdict This BBQ joint thoroughly deserves its Texas Monthly ranking as the #8 spot. The combination of high-quality, flavorful meats, thoughtfully executed sides, and exceptionally friendly, attentive service makes this a must-visit destination. The dedication to reputation and quality is evident in every bite, confirming this was a truly great experience.

Located on the older side of town a block past DeTar Navarro Hospital on a corner. Don't judge it by the outside, it's inside an older building, I knew I was there from the smell of the Bbq cooking in the air. Inside was cheerful clean and filled with picnic and smaller tables, seat yourself. You place your order at the counter and they bring it out to your table. The gentleman taking my order was friendly and welcoming. Turns out he was the owner! In 3 minutes a sweet young lady was bringing me my food and utensils. They have all of the meats plus all the homemade sides one would wish to order! I went with the two meats (ribs and brisket) accompanied by potato salad and green beans, with banana pudding for dessert later. It's not a full service restaurant but I was checked on and looked after multiple times by servers. Nice big generous helpings. This meal was heavenly, sides like your Memaw would make for family and moist and meaty ribs and brisket, seasoned and cooked perfectly...no salt or pepper needed here, just a little of their delicious sauce! My mouth is watering as I recall it! I will visit them again every time I get to Victoria! Wish I could take them home with me.

I got brisket and sausage with a double order of green beans. The green beans were the star if the show. Nicely seasoned with a bit of a fresh garlic flavor. Good.

With only three restaurants in the small town of Blessing, you certainly can't go wrong with BBQ. You can smell the flavor in the smoke, once arriving at Smokin A's. I just happened to arrive before the long line lunch rush. You order at the counter & the courteous staff members bring your food to the table. Fountain drinks & tea are available self serve. I ordered the brisket & sausage plate with beans & potato salad. The brisket was amazing, tender, flavorful & just fell apart in my mouth. The sausage was also very good & had a tasty smoked flavor. The BBQ sauce was prefect, not too watered down & really enhanced the meal. The beans were also good, but the overly mayonnaise drenched potato salad recipe could be improved. Also, only chicken leg quarters are offered on the menu. No chicken breast option, which is my favorite healthier choice. Still... it was a very good first dining experience! I will certainly try again.

Mac and cheese was super creamy and I may never say no to creamed corn again - at least here! In addition, they have a fantastic choice of sausages and pickles. And the CASE of jerky is a meat junkies dream - make sure to try the Bohemian Garlic (a fav!). Don't forget the banana pudding for dessert. I don't even like the stuff but would easily eat a gallon of it! Lane and Stephanie, the owners are often around, friendly, and the kind of folks you feel good supporting. They recently hired a new chef who is adding his spin to the menu - and I dare say the food is better than ever! So get yourselves to Texas - or online - and enjoy some BBQ and Jerky heaven!!
