    Outside entrance to the right of the gas station.

    You will not regret the drive! Wow! Award winning BBQ with friendly service. We tried the two meat plate and the gobble sandwich which were both excellent. Don't forget to try their sides which just accentuate their BBQ. The brisket was moist and flavorful. The ribs were fabulous with perfect flavor balance. Sit upstairs for a view of the exotic race car track next door.

    Was a little concerned when I drove up and realized it is attached to a gas station, albeit a fairly good sized one, but this place has been highly ranked. It's right next to some kind of race. Car driving course. Brisket 7 was good not great. Just could've been a little more tender and had a more intense flavorful bark. Pork ribs 7.2 are quite tasty. Perfectly balanced, sweet and spicy red rub. Again could've been a little bit more tender. Not sure I've ever had a corn bread salad, which was mixed with green onion, tomato, scallions, and covered with a white creamy dressing. Fun to eat, but won't be anything amazing 6. Potato salad 5.4 was basic and served in a cold scoop. tried the pecan cobbler for dessert?? Overall, I guess it lived up to my expectations upon driving up. Glad to say I've been here though. The menu was quite diverse and they had a wonderful assortment of sandwiches plates etc..

    The Gobbler...  I usually don't like allots of things on my turkey sandwich but half I listened to the owner. Amazing

    This was some of the best BBQ I've ever had. The guys from Drive Exotic told us about it and honestly I expected average bbq. THIS place is exceptional and the The Gobbler was one if the best turkey sandwiches that I've ever had. I think the owner needs to partner with Drive exotic by providing a 5-10% to all customers with a receipt. I bet the word would definitely get out and droves of hungry drivers from the city would pile in... (Gift and curse) Now I see why this is one of the Top 50 BBQ in the state. Definitely plinth back for our Christmas package trip!

    Cornbread salad. Soooo good

    This has been one of the few North Texas BBQ s that has and can hold it's own with the hipster/tourist Austin central Texas scene forever. Everything is great. Meats are dialed in perfectly and are great. Buns are unique and none better around. Sides are mix of Que staples and house creations like cornbread salad. Yumm Yumm. Then there's breakfast. Holy moly are the breakfast tacos/burritos to die for. Only equivalent I can think of are Valentinos newly moved to Buda, Tx offerings. That is incredibly high praise for sure but John Sanford backs it up. He has been symbol of restaurant excellence and civic responsibility for many years. Get there by 12-1 to insure full menu. Nothing fancy here. Occupies part of convenience store in Cresson Tx. Adjoining restaurant is a road racing course. Your likely to see SWAT teams learning from professional drivers. Or maybe newest Corvette or Mustang disguised with paint or ridiculous fenders being put through it's paces. And the motor publication photographers desperately trying to get videos and pictures of what's coming soon. Put this on your BBQ and breakfast bucket list. They'll take care of you.

    Ok so they are no longer located inside the gas station, however u enter the gas station and drive a little up and u see them in a trailer by the river!!!  They have opened a mobile dinning area, nice but there are no restroom so be prepared! Great food as always, its my absolute favorite!!! And beside the pounds of meet we normally get, I ordered their gable gable sandwich oh lord!!!! Its a turkey sandwich, my God it melts in your mouth delicious smoked tender turkey, with lots of love in it and yes my mouth drools just thinking about it!!!  You all are great, please stay in business but time you get your own place!!! You earned it!!!!

    It's been awhile since I wrote this, but they run out of bbq quickly. Food was great. Service could improve. Inside a gas station.

    Awesome sandwiches - I love the gobbler and their potato salad. I also sometimes order just the smoked turkey.

    Driving around Texas eating BBQ on the Texas Monthly Top 50 list…read more Arrived at Dayne's Craft Barbecue early on a Friday as husband and I wanted to eat a couple of the kolaches and then wait for the BBQ. The kolaches are fresh, delicious and some of the best we have ever eaten. They have a nice large parking area. You walk inside are greeted by a smiling employee. We ordered, ate and talked to several people that work and run this great Barbecue place. While waiting to order BBQ one of the employees was walking around giving out a few free breakfast tacos! Wow, what a treat. When we finally ordered our food we got food to eat there and food to bring back home. Let me just say that is the sign of great BBQ if it's good on site to eat and good when you warm it up at home. Dayne's BBQ was and is some of the best we have had yet. We had the Trinity platter, the bacon brisket, broccoli grape salad and flamin hot street corn. The Trinity came with moist smoke ring brisket along with pork ribs and JALAPENO HAVARTI sausage. I highly recommend you make the drive to Dayne's Craft Barbecue

    Might be the best bbq I have ever had and I am 54 years old! It was myself, my wife and our 30…read moreyear old son and we had the platter that was $95. We took a lot of food home. This easily could have fed 1-2 more people. Brisket would just melt in your mouth. All of the meats were outstanding. My favorite side was the Mac and cheese but wife loved the street corn. Overall, I cannot rank it high enough. 5 out of 5 easy!!!
