The The beef and ribs were so, so. I did not try sausage because of the pricing. Don't know that I will try this place, again.

Great big toasted bun piled up with thick warm slices of perfectly seasoned brisket. I'm in the retail beef business and know a little about what I'm eating, and this was a good brisket, clean smoke flavor, and a nice rub. Gage's isn't Franklin's or Hurtado's, but it's a quality Hill Country taste.

You get to Tumlinson's before you reach the much more popular and more crowded Cooper's in town. Arrived around 1:30 on Saturday and there was only one car in the parking lot. No one else in the restaurant but no matter, the food is incredible! I don't believe there is something as the "best" barbecue. I think that there is a sort of supreme level that has a great smoke ring, a great bark, quality meat and basically melts in your mouth. So tender you can break it up with a fork but I might use a knife so I can create smaller pieces. THIS PLACE IS ALL OF THAT with perfect rendering and a master class in what a brisket should be. 5 out of 5. As good as any I have ever had and what I expect as the top of what barbecue brisket can be. The ribs were cooked perfectly with bountiful meat on the bone. The rub was not noteworthy but they were tasty and led me to use the sauce. The sauce is excellent - thick and vinegarry with a hint of sweetness. Only ordered one side - the potato salad. Much better than most. Not what I would put in the best category but totally worth eating. The pickles and onions? Wow! I wouldn't bother mentioning unless they were amazing. (Or terrible.) These were amazing! What I loved was that they cut up the onions in chunks rather than slices. The pickles were chunks of whole dills and not canned sliced pickles. Finally, I'll get to the ambiance. It's spacious with lots of seating inside. Good a/c. Two small windows that look out across the beautiful Hill Country for miles. Since the wildflowers were in epic form on the drive, the view was amazing this day. But it would be excellent without them. I should have taken a picture but I was too busy eating. We left Tumlinson's SmokyTop and went to Cooper's and as a comparison, I give the edge to Tumlinson's. The briskets were both in the same top echelon of what I expect a smoked brisket to be, but I think Tumlinson's was just slightly better. But where Tumlinson's crushes Cooper's is in the ambiance/atmosphere. Cooper's seating is indoor with no real outdoor tables. So you eat in a confined, windowless room that is not inviting. No music playing. Tumlinson's with no one else in it was memorable. I couldn't wait to get out of Cooper's. Felt a little creepy. Finally, Tumlinson's was selling brisket at $24 per pound while Cooper's was $26.99. This part is insignificant to me for the most part but there is a real price difference. Final verdict - Tumlinson's 5 out of 5. Cooper's 4.8 out of 5.

They have an excellent selection of chicken, meats, sausages, stuffed jalapenos, and more. Their smoked/ fully cooked sausages are amazing. Don't forget their baked potato salad, as it is the best I've ever tasted. Excellent desserts as well!

We split the sandwich and some chips and got a bag of the oatmeal raisin cookies to go. Let's talk about this sandwich shall we??? OH, I will be chasing this club sandwich "high" for many a day. I don't know if they cure the meats in house or what, but every ingredient shined. And not least of which was the grilled bread - it was such a perfect foil for the meats. (and I loved that this sandwich let its bread shine on the outside and there was no pesky middle piece of bread like traditional club sandwiches. YUM - I will happily go back here! The decor was very "Texan" too, It is less than a block off the main square and is only barely renovated to fit the new use. There were even two sheriffs at a back table talking business....can't get much more Texas than that!
