    Two meat combo - ribs/sausage
    Lowell O.

    It's not a pretentious place. It's as down home as you get. But if you don't like the ribs or sausage here, you're one meal away from discovering that you're a vegetarian. The ribs are the perfect expression of St. Louis style ribs. And their sausage 100% beef and 100% made from scratch right here on site. And it shows. You can't get that texture from a commercial outfit. These guys are obviously not politicians because they don't put their own spin on anything. Their spin is, there is no spin. Everything's done the traditional way. Nothing is "extra" -- not extra salty, smokey, sweet, tangy or spicy -- just extra tasty! I haven't tried their brisket. And I may never try it. Because next time I come back, I'm getting another two meet combo with ribs and sausage! My sides were potatoe salad and coleslaw. They had a number of other options, but in my background, those are the most traditional sides and that's what I was in the mood for. These sides were made with the same principal. Keep it traditional. Don't put a spin on it. But put pride into it, like you were serving it to your pastor at your house on the Fourth of July. The entire meal could have been served up in 1950. But it's good ol' American barbecue. If it ain't broke (and it certainly ain't)... don't "fix" it. Just serve it up and watch 'em come back for more.

    Ribs. Brisket & Hot sausage

    Solid. It's like going to someone's house for a bbq. solid. This is more old school bbq. Not your craft bbq that's taken over Central Texas. Ribs (and potato salad) are solid. Brisket and sausage would not be my choice here.

    Stopped here for a quick bite. Interesting to see that they have mutton on the menu. The lean brisket and the ribs were good, but the mutton was a little too fatty for my taste.

    Just average bbq that is overpriced. One of the employees touched their face (eye or nose, can't remember) and grabbed slices of bread afterwards. I ended up tossing the bread and just asking another employee for more. I had been here a few times over dozen years, and it's not as good as when I first had it years ago. The owner is still there and active in day to day operations. I won't be back. There's lots more bbq joints with higher standards.

    If you're ever in the area and get a hankering for some of the absolute best barbecue in Texas, I highly recommend you stop by Billy's and try out what he's cooking! Great food, all the sides and even dessert, if you still have room for it!! You won't be disappointed!

    Stopped at this place by happenstance. Best decision ever!!! Great food and a cozy relaxed atmosphere. Friendly service. Melt in your mouth beef! Wish it wasn't so far away.

    This place is SO awesome, definitely worth at least stopping by and checking out…read more My partner and I were looking for a spot for him to grab a bite to eat on our way to our cabin. Just happened yo stumble upon The Gas Station and decided to check it out. If you love horror films, you'll dig this place. They have so many cool things inside. Tons of rad horror toys and posters and just stuff! I had so much fun just checking everything out. We were quick to find out that it was also one of the filming locations of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The gentleman at the counter was so enthusiastic and informative! It was awesome hearing him geek out over stuff with my boyfriend. After we geeked out over everything, we ordered a brisket plate with a side of coleslaw and beans. Food came out pretty fast. They don't have a dining area inside, but out back they have some picnic tables. He dug into his plate on site. Everything was pretty darn good, especially for a place called 'The Gas Station' hah. Recommend checking out this spot whether you looking for a bite or looking for some cool horror stuff.

You would never think this place sells decent barbecue. Honestly not half bad. They had just finished roasting chicken when we got there and the breast I was given was massive!!! I couldn't finish all of it lol. I also had the brisket which was super yummy! They have two bbq sauces- a regular and a ghost pepper one. I only tried the regular but my friends like the ghost pepper one. The sides were ok... I would opt for potato salad. Chili was meh. Overall not a bad experience. Food came out quick and the outdoor patio out back is nice enough, a lot of flies though.

    My friend insisted we go here for lunch because he was raving about "the best burger in town." I…read moreimmediately hit him with, "But I'm a vegetarian!" Lol. Pulling up to Roadhouse felt like I was about to film a low-budget country music video. The aggressively unpretentious energy was immaculate. The all-dirt parking lot said everything! No curated patio, no aesthetic succulents just straight up vibes and dust. The place was packed at 1 p.m. Our server, Raven, took great care of us from the jump. Rave was very efficient, friendly, and had zero attitude. We ordered a basket of fries, a portobello mushroom burger for me, a cheeseburger, a Philly cheesesteak, upgraded side salads, and, of course, their famous carrot cake to share. Now, let me confess something: As a Californian, I walked in with absolutely zero expectations given the facade. And yet... the fries were perfect. The portobello burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and very satisfying! My friends inhaled their cheeseburger and Philly like they were participating in a competitive sport. Lol. And don't even get me started with their carrot cake. It was disrespectfully delicious! This was seriously the most humbling "don't judge a book by its cover" moment I've had in a while. Roadhouse doesn't need any curated lighting or a reclaimed-wood Instagram wall because the food and service speak for themselves. I drove into a dirt lot with skepticism and left faceplanted by my own bias. Consider me corrected, Bastrop!

    My husband and I stopped at Buc-ee's on our road trip. They have lots of parking spots and places…read moreto gas up or charge up. After parking we went inside this enormous store. We were greeted by a bunch of friendly people that were working at the checkout registers. They have a whole bunch of merchandise you can look at or purchase, a lot of food options, snacks, a variety of fountain drink flavors to choose from, coffees, Icee flavors and so much more. They have clean bathrooms with a lot of stalls, that are stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, and soap. During this trip my husband got a pineapple flavored fizzy drink. He said he can't find anything like it anywhere else. I tried it and it was super sweet. I purchased a large rice crispy treat that they sold by the register at the checkout. It lasted me a few days and was delicious. On a side note we did visit in the late afternoon after 7:00 pm so we didn't really have to deal with overcrowding but there was still quite a few people there. Overall Buc-ee's was a good stopping place to walk around and browse or buy items. They have very friendly people working there and it's a good place to take a bathroom break during a road trip.

So many things happening in this place - people making fudge, candied nuts, all kinds of jerkee; a huge BBQ station where employees shout out every time they either make or sell a sandwich? All kinds of fun merchandise - from clothes to shoes, to toys - a full gift shoppe. Employees are amazing - engaged, kind, energetic - definitely seem to care about what they do. Management salaries are posted out front for hiring purposes - pay is real high which is great, but even better, seems like those managers are doing a great job leading employees for that $$$ So, if you ever see a Buc-ee's I recommend you go in and see it - it's pretty hard to explain but it is quite something.
