    Brisket sandwich
    Tesla A.

    We were just driving through the cross plains when we started getting super hungry and found this place on google with great reviews. I am so happy we stopped here the prices were so cheap and the brisket sandwich was literally the best I've ever had! Amazing customer service at the drive though window, the woman working offered my dogs some spare brisket trimmings and they were so happy. The peach cobbler and fries and fried okra were all sooo good too! If you're driving by make sure to stop here!

    Western Christmas tree!

    We were traveling through the town of Cross Plains and needed a place to eat. Husband was in the mood for BBQ, so after a quick call to insure the place was open, we chose Bubba's. The employees were very friendly, and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Husband got the Cajun Tater, a huge mountain of potato, butter, meat, topped with Bubba's crawfish and shrimp etoufee, and finished with shredded cheese, sour cream and green onions. I would have sworn he couldn't finish that beast, but he found it delicious and not only finished it, but ate the skin! I ordered a Senior plate, and got a serving of sliced brisket, fries, sweet potato casserole and peach cobbler. My opinion: the brisket was average plus, the fries were delicious and fresh, the sweet potato casserole was dry, and the peach cobbler was made from canned peaches, with a seasoned cracker topping, no ice cream. This place was a hit or miss, with the Cajun Tater taking first place and my meal a distant last.

    Simple and cheerful atmosphere, nice and clean!

    Brisket and mild sausage were excellent and sides were good too. Reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend.

    DELICIOUS! I actually heard about this place from a Reddit post about places to stop on a road trip…read moreacross Texas and I'm so glad I listened! It's home cooked food, calories-not-monitored, but worth every single bite. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I knew it was going to be good when we saw the parking lot was overflowing into the grass. Luckily there was still an open table inside and we were welcomed by the sweetest staff and our waitress was just as wonderful. So many things looked good on the menu, but I couldn't resist ending this road trip with another taste of chicken fried steak to compare to Mary's (and they can definitely compete because it was AWESOME)! We also tried the chicken fried chicken (delicious), sweet potato casserole (amazing), Mae's potato casserole (tasty), cheese sticks (good), and the hamburger and fries which was obviously delicious enough that my picky daughter almost finished it - which says a LOT! We were very glad that we'd ordered the "smaller portions" for lunch because it meant we could grab a few of the desserts to go to snack on for our final leg of the road trip and keep enjoying at home. We tried the toffee cake (incredible), peanut butter cake (sinfully good), and the coconut pie (very light and creamy)! We also snagged some items to take home with us from their coolers and I can 100% recommend their pork tamales and summer sausage. If you get the chance to stop here, you won't regret it at all! Delicious, great service, and good portions!

    I have avoided coming here for years because every time I had in the past, it was a disappointment…read more I'll give it to them for consistency? I ordered the half portion breakfast quesadilla. My husband got the deluxe breakfast. The hashbrowns were greasy, obviously not reconstituted, and overcooked. He chose a pancake instead of the biscuit and gravy. His pancake took forever to receive. It was thin and tasteless. I've had better from a Bisquick box! My tortilla was greasy. Barely recognizable as a tortilla. Had I not been genuinely hungry, I would have sent it back. I managed to eat two triangles. I tried to cover up some of the greasiness with their salsa. I've had better salsa from Old El Paso. It was watery and flavorless. That seemed to be the overall theme for this meal. Flavorless and thin on cooking prowess. Had the waitress not been friendly, I would have given only one star. $25 for barely edible anything!?! Never never again.

    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!

    Driving around Texas eating BBQ that made the Texas Monthly Top 50 list so we had to stop at Jay's…read moreBBQ Shack. This is a food truck so all sitting is outside. They do have restrooms so that's nice. The line gets long and they are slow in taking orders and getting the food out. We arrived around 11:15 on a Friday and the line was already long so we decided we would order to go as we need to get to Lubbock before 3:00pm. We ordered the Texas Trinity to go. This place has charm and lots of stuff to look at while waiting in the long slow line. You can go up and order beer to drink in line but my thought is that the beer is over price. Some places have free beer or free water while you wait outside in the Texas heat, not here. So the food we got made it all the way back to eat in Houston on Sunday when we got back. The true test of good BBQ is how it taste when you reheat it, all the food was good but the brisket was a bit dry 8/10, the sausage was nice 9/10 and the pork rib was good 9/10. I recommend you try Jays BBQ when in the city of Abilene, Texas
