    Brisket, pork belly burnt ends, pork ribs, Texas Twinkie, three cheese Mac, Gigi's potato salad
    Kyle D.

    Highly recommend Bubbys! First time here and we tried the brisket, pork ribs, pork belly burnt ends, Texas twinkie. For sides we got the three cheese Mac and gigis potato salad. The brisket was so juicy and delicious. However the TEXAS TWINKIE is a must try!

    Ribs and brisket

    I read the reviews and was quite excited to venture out here. So much so, I came the night before the visit I had it was close as I apparently sold out early. I thought this was a good sign which had me more excited to return the next day and early. Got there at 11:05 a.m. Friday. Few words describe my experience: Underwhelming Soulless Uninspiring Austin area has such a competitive landscape in the Austin area that you know what is mediocre, good, above average and killer. This was mediocre. The describe salt, pepper and love. I didn't taste any of that in the brisket although the bark was solid. I was quite excited about the honey habanero ribs. Biggest disappointment as the description had me salivating. There was no flavor and that's including the glaze. I didn't bother getting the sausage since it was not house made. The star for me was the three cheese Mac n Cheese. I would order this each an led every visit. Coleslaw meh. Rating (1-5 outstanding): Ribs: 2 Brisket: 2 Coleslaw: 3 Mac n cheese: 4 Service: 5 I didn't find much here to be excited about.

    Jalapeño creamed corn, potato salad--- WOOOOOOOOOW

    FOOD IS EXCELLENT! Quality, flavor and portion of meats and all sides are incredible. Had a platter of all- 10/10 give this place a try!!

    Mac and Cheese

    Bubby's was at it again today! My in laws came into town from Cali and our tradition is BBQ, we knew immediately Bubby's is where it's at! We got a little bit of everything today, ribs, chicken, sausage, pulled pork, brisket. Double the Mac and Cheese is an absolute must. Corn and chicken have a little kick but man oh man are they worth it. Facebook is doing its thing, the people that came in behind us were from New York! Word is spreading and Bubby's deserves all the attention

    SUPER Great BBQ....Just Amazing Brisket looks great w a dark smoke ring w crispy bark and tender meat...sorry was so hungry for BBQ just dug in and it was half gone by the time of review..Owner is a outstanding host and Wife does all the sides..Very tasty and the JAPALENOES WRAPPED W bacon were also great . All the Sauce was Most Excellent...weather you fly into Smithville or Drive its well worth the 70 miles we did. We'll be back soon! Will provide more picks of food next visit.

    Half a chicken, jalapeño and cheese sausage, chopped brisket, sandwich.

    Smithville needed a good Bar B Q restaurant after our communities long time classic closed its doors. We had others bar b Q places pop up here and there, but they just didn't make it. I was very excited but had reservations. When I walked in, I was greeted warmly. I looked at the menu to make my decision. That's when the owner gave me a sample, my decision's changed and grew. As you can see in the photo, I got half a chicken, jalapeño cheese sausage, and the chopped brisket sandwich. Price was 35? And some change. BUT I think you can see in the picture it wasn't skimpy. Worth every penny! Jalapeño and cheese sausage, absolutely delicious. Pepper and full of cheese. A nice kick from the jalapeños. Not greasy and perfectly juicy. Plenty of cheese too most places you can't find the cheese but here it's full of cheese. Brisket sandwich, absolutely delicious as well. I dipped the sandwich and the two barbecue sauces. the owner gave to me. The regular I believe was sweet vinegar and have great flavor. The second spicy, I believe vinegar spicy, and wonderful. The chicken not dry, wonderful smoked flavor and the spices were just right. I definitely will get it again. This is exactly what Smithville needed.

    Smoked bbq Chicken, smoked brisket, corn, Mac and cheese, and banana pudding with Texas toast and slivered onions and pickles.

    See all

    Another great meal today posing as a late lunch. Likely a good thing as I will not have to eat…read moreagain today. Service was great as always as well. Love the "feel" of the place. Wood floors, tin ceilings and walls and people of all walks of life. Nuthin better!

    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!
