There isn't an extensive list on the menu that will have you scratching your head on what to order. This is a quaint spot that has eating staples from salad to fried stuff. The good: The staff here is very friendly and very welcoming. The bad: I'm not a true fan of the price to portion ratio. Food pricing is increasing at a rapid rate, I truly understand that. I was not expecting a Flintstones moment where my vehicle would receive the food, which in turn, would make my vehicle flip on its side. I have to be honest...they serve you on a traditional compartment plate. I'm not even certain that two scoops of a side can fit in those compartments. I truly do not feel as though you receive enough food for the money. The ugly: You will not be taken to flavor town eating here. Do not get me wrong, they do put spices on their meats, but the meat wasn't flavored. My New Orleans' tongue did not have an awakening of any sorts eating here. Was the food palletable? Very much so. That's where it ends FOR ME. I didn't taste anything that knocked my socks off. I had a clue it would be that way when they asked what spice level boudin I wanted. Once again, spices for taste versus seasoning for the wow factor. All in all, boudin was decent. Okra was fried decent but didn't have flavor. Ribs were tender and the best meat. The sliced brisket was well done, but without a flavor pop. The baked beans were really done well. The coleslaw was tasty as well. The turtle slice of pie, with whipped cream, was a nice dessert, but too small of a portion. Would I eat here again? Yes I would now that I know what to expect.

Their expertise and passion were evident, which made the experience even better. The brisket was excellent--very moist with a great bark, good flavor, and a satisfying pull. But if you only get one thing, make it the brisket burnt ends. They were absolutely awesome and I highly recommend them. The ribs were a bit too hammy for my personal taste, but that's a preference issue, as I prefer baby back ribs over the spare ribs they served. I tried two of their house-made sausages. The standard house sausage was pretty good, but the jalapeño and cheddar version was even better, adding a great kick of cheese and spice to their basic recipe. The sides were just as impressive as the meat. The dirty rice had some spice and was elevated with delicious shredded brisket mixed in. The cheesy tater casserole was fantastic--very cheesy with a nice peppery flavor and a great texture from the potatoes. For dessert, the cornbread bread pudding was an excellent choice. It was a gooey, decadent dessert with a perfect balance of cornbread and chocolate chips. We also grabbed a tallow chocolate chip cookie to go, saving it to savor later. Overall, this place is the real deal. From the knowledgeable staff to the top-tier brisket and sides, it's clear why they're so highly acclaimed. Very affordable as well!

We saw some great options ( Truth, Triple J, Killen's, and Brisket & Rice were all in the running, and we didn't try any of those so can't say on them). This was a thought out choice and I was super excited to try them! Being a family run operation was really awesome to me as well. First the good to great: the staff was super nice and helpful. The brisket was ah-mazing. Not too Smokey but cooked very tender and delicious! The barbecue sauce was on point. Sauces tend to range from too thin to too thick, too sweet to too spicy but Bar A's hit the bulls eye! Not too thin, not too sweet...I really enjoyed the brisket! Walking up, the smells were incredible! A nice outdoor spot to eat (it was a very mild day and just beautiful out..but I digress). Also, the Mac and Cheese...oh my!! Some of the best I've ever had! The downside: We drove an hour and a half especially to eat here...it was our primary reason for heading up to Montgomery! Getting there around 3pm, you would figure is a sweet spot for a restaurant open from like 11-6 on a Friday. When we went to order as we're trying to figure out the plate we want, you know, 2 meats or 3 meats ...sides, yum, as you're drooling, we were going for the TRINITY Plate. Brisket, rib and sausage...a nice cross section. Nope, we can't do a TRINITY. we only have brisket and turkey left. I know a lot of people love turkey. I'm not one of them and my heart was set on Beef. So now we're on a 1 meat and two sides track I guess. Ok, can we do brisket on the one meat? "Sure I can do that" was the cheery reply. So we got two plates brisket, and I asked could you make that moist cut brisket (my favorite, while my wife always prefers the lean). "Nope, sorry, we're all out of moist brisket". Ok, so one plate with cheesy potato casserole (doesn't that just sound amazing?) and Mac & cheese and one plate With cheesy potato casserole and pinto beans, that way we can get more great tastes and share, right? Oh, and bread, pickles, onions and jalapeños. (The bread is Martins and is always amazing if you know what I'm talking about...I think it's potato roll bread?). Got our plates and start to pay...two $20 plates and no drinks, just water. Over $50! Hmmm, well, the one meat tray with brisket has a $4 up charge. Hmmm. Sat down and got to chowing down! Here's where disappointment sets in. As I said, brisket and sauce was on point. The onions are maybe slightly pickled, not sure, but also very good. The meat, was 3 slices of brisket...4 would have been a sweet spot but eh, 3. The sides. Cheesy potato casserole had the texture of rice...I kept thinking it was rice as I ate it. It had some spice to it but very little flavor. Very disappointing. Mac & cheese--ah-mazing! Pinto beans were like a salt-a-holics take on ranch style beans. Not good. Almost not edible. But I was hungry. I put some sauce on the potato casserole and made it taste ok...still couldn't get Over the rice texture (I'm not saying it had rice, but just had the texture of a rice pilaf ). Two pieces of great bread rounded it out! So overall, disappointed that there wasn't more to choose (ribs, moist brisket, sausage) and I get it, They make so much and sell out then that's good business for them. To the customer who drove and hour and a half to eat there, not so good business. The sides were 1 for 3 in the good to great category and worst of all, after spending $50+ on lunch for 2, I was still hungry. I wouldn't have expected that for sure. I couldn't decide between 3 or 4 star but my missing stars shake out like this: 1 went because of availability and then ultimately being up charged for what was left. And 1 went for disappointing 2 out of 3 sides and portion size/value. Sorry, we didn't take any photos of the food.

I had their brisket and pork ribs with double side of beans because I don't like cole slaw or potato salad (I know I know) Customer Service is great!!!! Food Review: brisket is okay good taste but not as tender as it should be and doesn't have crust. He smokes with oak wood which is good for indigestion! Pinto beans are tasty and Higgs recommend. Since bbq is my wheelhouse I'm a hard critic let me start off. I am a firm believer in the great state of Texas of "Low and Slow" he rushes his meat and there is no caramelization. I like to be able to take a semi bite of brisket without using my whole bite to tear off brisket from the slice that was cut. The positive is that(I believe he uses) meat from his ranch in Livingston. It hits different I would recommend this place and I want to come back to try the taqueria side to this place.
