Boilerman Barbecue
Garry H.

I found Boilerman BBQ by accident. I was headed to Metal Mart in Merkel, Texas, and I needed a pit stop NOW! I stopped at the Iron Horse Travel Center, which was new to me. Iron Horse was extremely nice and clean. At one end is Boilerman Barbecue, a small restaurant with a decent menu. Breakfast tacos in the morning, and specials at noon and dinner. Prices were decent, so I went back for supper that night. The brisket loaded potato was such a good seller they ran out, so I tried my favorite, ribs! They have all the normal BBQ meats, about 8 different sides, and 4 or 5 different desserts. I got ribs, roasted veggies, and broccoli casserole. A pretty decent meal. The ribs get 3.5/5, roasted veggies 3.0/5, and the broccoli casserole gets 4.5/5! That was some good broccoli casserole! I was too full for dessert, and took home leftovers. I think it's worth stopping for a quick meal. Give Boilerman a try!

Absolutely some of the best BBQ I've had in ages - and I'm a bbq snob from Kansas City!…read more We had the sampler (brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and one each of the mild and spicy sausages). I fully expected that one or two of the meats would be good and the rest just passable. I was wrong. Every single bite was spectacular. We also had the brisket and queso chips and pig candy - both were really tasty; the chips especially were very fresh and sprinkled with just a touch of bbq rub. We arrived a few minutes before they opened on a warm Saturday and the wait was about 75 minutes or so. Definitely worth standing in line for. There's ample outdoor (but covered) seating and plenty of good music playing, plus cornhole games if you're feeling competitive. Jays will be our go-to for BBQ the next time we're in Abilene! PS - if it's still available when you go, be sure to try the cherry chipotle sauce - it's amazing!

I ate at Jay's BBQ Shack and got there about 30 minutes after they opened. The line moved fast and…read moreI only waited around 15 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. They had fans going which helped a ton. We ordered Jay's sampler with potato salad, coleslaw, mac and cheese, plus a side of pinto beans and the pig candy. Everything was absolutely delicious. Honestly, this is the best BBQ I've had since moving here in 2023. The brisket was tender and full of flavor, the ribs were incredible, and the sausage was perfect. The potato salad had that mustard kick and reminded me of my grandma's, which is saying a lot. They had several sauces to choose from, the maple was my favorite. The only thing my husband mentioned was that he wished the beans had a little something extra like fat or onion, but that didn't take away from the meal at all. We'll definitely be back.
