OMG! We ate waaaaay too much!!!…read more Came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. There were 7 of us but ordered for 14!! What were we thinking ??? So, all main entrees were quite good: ribs and brisket were incredibly tender, catfish was nice and crisp, chicken fell off the bone, and the chicken fried chicken was delicious. We also ordered the steak fingers as an appetizer. They tasted good but should have been crispier. Had the sampler which consisted of fried pickle spears (highly recommend) fried mushrooms (honestly tasted like they came pre-packaged and corn nuggets (also quite good). Sides were what took this review to a 4 star: Mac and cheese (way too dry), coleslaw (have had better) and the green beans ( too mushy- definitely canned beans) were nothing to brag about. Our waitperson, Barbara, was quite entertaining and I must add that she was quite efficient. She's apparently worked for the owner for 22 years (of and on). The owner was at the restaurant and made it a point to ask if we enjoyed our meals. Nice touch. We ended our experience with their desserts, all made by the co-owner. EVERY.SINGLE.DESSERT.WAS.DELICIOUS.PERIOD! In a nutshell, we enjoyed our Texas sized lunch at J&M Hill Country BBQ.

Ordered a catered meal for 11 from BB BBQ. The brisket order was wrong (chopped instead of…read moresliced). The chopped brisket was the worst bbq I've ever had. The was no taste difference between the regular and jalapeño sausage (again, worst I've ever had). The lack luster meat was compounded by receiving a peach cobbler that was cold and as dry as the desert. While the food experience was less than appetizing, the lack of service or give a damn from the staff was the most unpleasant experience. When the owner was contacted about the lack of service and poor food quality the owner yelled at my wife and called her greedy. This place used to be great. Dinner beware. I'll never step foot in this place again. If you're in Gatesville, Texas and are hungry, go anywhere else but Bare Bones!!! Too bad there isn't a zero star...

Marshall's Comeback BBQ had always been in the back of my mind that I needed to stop there and…read morecheck it out, I live on the other side of town and the location is just enough out of my way that I always said to myself "maybe next time". Well today was indeed next time; I wish it was life changing kind of amazing but what I got was just okay. Like all BBQ legends the best places are started by people with passion for BBQ in a small trailer with a dream. Marshalls Comeback BBQ is in a tiny trailer just off the road, the people there seem quite nice and greeted me with a smile. I asked what was good and the lady told me the ribs, so I asked for a half a rack of ribs, and a baked potato with just sour cream, butter and cheese. What I got smelled nice in the car but when I got home to open the box the big heavy box was a potato, and the light almost empty feeling box was the half rack of ribs. Total cost was $21, in today's day and age of McDdonalds meals coasting $12 I didn't baulk at the price at all. That said opening the box to find what's really 3 ribs, and a huge potatoe swimming in BBQ sauce I couldn't help but be a little bummed. Turns out I actual kinda liked the baked potato but that's only when compared to the ribs. With a Texas Monthly top 50 restaurant only 40 min from home in Belton I have become spoiled with what I think is amazing BBQ. The ribs are a few levels below what I am willing to pay for, so sadly I don't think I will be in the biggest of hurry's to go back to Marshall's Comeback BBQ, I hope and pray I just caught them on a bad day. 2.5 stars is my review, and that cause they were really nice, and I ended up kind of liking the baked potato that was made wrong.

Over in the area for a country drive, did a quick Yelp check for a good Tex-Mex place for lunch…read more More than one review mentioned "locals like it", and we were sold. Plenty of parking, right off the main road, and more room inside than it appears. Waitress was on the job, excellent friendly service, was right there to take drink orders, and checked up on us throughout the meal. They were actually standing there waiting for us to sit with the chips and salsa. Definitely had the look of a local favorite, we were there after the lunch rush, I'm sure it's packed on weekend nights. All the food came out really fast, but was all fresh, tasty, and hit the spot. The menu had tons of variety, will take multiple visits to work through. That Texas staple, sweet tea, was especially good, had a lot of flavour served in large glasses. Would almost be worth stopping in during the summer just for some of the tea! Really nice space for a meal, and very friendly service!

I told them no thanks- seriously, when a $2 taco's price goes up $2 for a dab of beans and 7 strands of cheese? Bullshit. And no apology, no offer to try to fix anything, just "ok." Okaaay.
