Gotta give the locals a shout out. I found my way to Billy's today, hoping to get some great local Texas BBQ. It's right off the 71 in Bastrop. I got a simple sliced brisket sandwich. Honestly, it was a bit underwhelming and left me wishing it was better. Might go back again but likely will be wandering around trying others in the area. read more

Billy's feels like my Texas. The people behind the counter are warm and welcoming and so are the other patrons. I came in by myself and was lucky enough to share a table with a stranger. We both shared a nice meal and a good conversation. The food was excellent and I would order the same thing again with zero revisions. Life is short, get a slice of pie. read more

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. read more

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. read more

First of all, Billy sits behind the counter and thinks he's too good to greet anyone. My family and I walked into the dump of an establishment immediately glared at like someone just saw a ghost. Unprofessional and disturbing. After Billy assured me his brisket is his favorite item, we recieved the pathetic excuse of what looks to be a mountain of beef mush, "slow" cooked in his grandmas 20 year old crock pot. Oh yeah, all of their sides are fresh out of the can, cold, and taste like burnt leaves. read more

Dive! I'm surprised they have enough electricity to take cards... Billy's is tucked away on a dead end next to the Colorado River. Smokey. Stuffed animals on the wall. Unlikely any chairs at the card tables match... But the brisket is consistently great. Has been for 3 decades. That's all that really matters. Sausage, chicken and ribs are good too. All the sides come in 5 gallon containers from a distributor. Someone alluded to their desserts being 'great.' Billy will stiff you on the flatware, napkins, pickles and onions, sauce and everything else you want to to go with your Q. And why the hell are they closed on Tuesdays? But the brisket is great! read more

Forget the sauce, pickles, and onions; the brisket and turkey are so good plain. There are nicer restaurants, but Billy's is clean, well lit, and comfortable. The folks working there are so nice and helpful. This is THE go to place in Bastrop. Can't wait to go back to try the mutton! read more

In our ever on going quest to find the best bbq , we came across Billy's in Bastrop. Good solid Central Texas style. We especially liked their St. Louis style ribs and their well known house made sausage. Their serving portions are generous. Prices are good. Brisket is excellent and their ribs. Sides are tasty. Only one thing.... would like to see them put bbq sauce on the tables. They do give you one sauce cup but that's just never enough. ;) seek this place out. Worth the trip. read more

It was Christmas Eve and I needed some comfort food and since I have tried all of the mom and pop BBQ joints in Bastrop County, it was time to check out Billy's. Billy's parking spots were taken but the DQ parking places next door were empty so I parked in a DQ spot. When I got out of my vehicle, I could smell in the air that BBQ was sold here. When I entered, I saw Billy sitting at a table in the rear. I went to him, introduced myself and told him that I had heard nothing but songs of praises about his Q and wanted to sample some. I ordered 2lbs of beef brisket and only a pound of pork spare ribs and potato salad. The meats were well smoked, ribs were fsalllin' off the bone and the beef brisket was not dried out. The potato salad was perfect for my taste, the way I like it. I will definitely return, mainly because I didn't take a selfie with Billy. read more

Solid Texas BBQ and worth a stop. They offer lean brisket. The sausage is worth taking home a pound of. The sauce is served hot and is somewhat sweet and tangy. They're generous with the pickles and onions. The Mac n cheese is serviceable as a side, like the added black pepper. The coleslaw isn't drenched in cream and tastes fresh. The creamed corn is skippable. Avoid the lemon meringue. read more

The back of the BBQ has a gag poem written by one of the pitmaster's buddies dedicated to the pitmaster. It tells a tale of the pitmaster dreading his job, waiting till 7 pm when he can go home, screwing up on this, screwing up on that. Believe the poem. The meat here tastes like it was smoked by someone going through the motions, watching the clock until they can go home, screwing up on this, screwing up on that. I didn't finish my plate. The meat was nearly tasteless. If you want good Barbecue and you are near Bastrop - avoid Billy's. Go about six miles west down Highway 71 to a rival barbecue - Benny's. (Just east of Cedar Creek High School). At Benny's you can get magnificent barbecue and eat like a king. Billy's is unsatisfactory stuff. read more

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.

Overall, very happy with our food, prices and service and can't wait to go back and try their Sunday brunch.

What an amazing place and I love that it honors the men and women protecting our streets and…read morecountry. The brunch was very tasty and presented very well. The atmosphere was relaxed with knowledgeable and attentive wait staff. I can't wait to go back to Pour It Forward.

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.

I've been told many times if you see a Buc-ee's you have to stop in, and that was sound advice…read more This is like the Disneyland of gas stations - if that can even be described as a thing. 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.
