Salad with 1/4 pound of brisket
Amanda F.

I ordered 1/4 pound of brisket with a salad. I called beforehand coming here to make sure I could eat here. I am both gluten and dairy intolerant. I was told the meat would be okay but I couldn't have the bbq sauce. I believe bbq is judged by its meat and not sauce so it was fine for me. The brisket was good but on the drier side. I loved the salad bar because it's your old school pile on as much veggies.

To say I'm underwhelmed is a harsh statement and I'm so sorry. I hope that with this review you can consider this constructive feedback and consider making some positive changes with your establishment in the future. I have given this place a chance. Truly. Four times to be exact. However, each time has just gotten more disappointing. I know there are not many BBQ joints in Kerrville, TX however, I would rather go to Bills BBQ to strictly make a point. The rest of this review is directed directly to the Buzzies management and operations. Pricing: I know we are in an unannounced recession and we are all trying to pay our bills but this was just ridiculous. I have never paid so much for such a small portion of food for a family of 6! Brisket, sausage, yes I know... most expensive. However, please don't send a 8oz (nearly a spoonful each) and think that feeds a family of six. If you can't provide an average serving of 4-5oz a side per person (Google it), then you are either false marketing and/or overpricing your customers because you can. I'm not okay with that and I know many others aren't. Service: Please work on it. Your unfriendly and unprofessional. If you want to keep your doors open, try a new greeting... not "hey what do you need". Simply rude and ungrateful. Especially when you live in a small town with a lack of competition. Your food may be good but your attitude sucks. Twice we have ordered to-go and each time they have forgotten pickles and onions. Come on y'all. Please get a system in place where your customers don't have to drive back just for basic essentials/condiments. For $100, please provide $100 service. I'm giving it 2 stars only because the BBQ was okay. Was expecting way better brisket for that price. Dry as can be. See for yourself in the picture. I'm ONLY leaving this reviewfor the people who are considering how they want their $100 to feed their family. Please don't make our same mistake.

The so called moist brisket and ribs
Diron K.

Talk about a total letdown. I had heard really good things about their BBQ. This was a total waste of time and money ($55.00). We ordered a pound of moist brisket, a pound of ribs, one sausage link and a quarter pound of turkey. The brisket was tough, chewy and tasteless. We probably tried to eat a single each, but it was so bad we couldn't. The ribs weren't as bad as the brisket, we probably found a rib a piece that was eatable. The sausage was fair, but it had a weird taste to it. The turkey was probably the best thing we had there. We ate the whole quarter pound of it. All in all, we probably threw away a couple of pounds of so called BBQ. We will never go back there again. It was bad, bad, bad.

2 meat combo, brisket & 1/4 chicken, two sides. $17 with drink, a little too steep for lunch.

I had high expectations prior to dining at Buzzie's Bar-BQ since I found out it's been on television & on Texas Monthly. I did like the nicely spacious dining area with an upgraded country motif. The order at the counter, cafeteria style is typical of a BBQ restaurant. The staff provided attentive courteous service . The self service condiment station, tea canisters & bread box, made it convenient to fix up my lunch plate. I ordered the 1/4 chicken, white meat with brisket. The selections of sides was very limited. I got the potato salad & beans since the coleslaw appeared to be overly drench in mayonnaise. I had iced tea with my two meat combo plate & realized the price was slightly above average. $17 for a two meat combo with two sides & drink in Kerrville is a little steep! The quality & taste of the brisket & chicken was good, but not overly impressed. I didn't like the potato salad since it lacked a scratch made taste. The beans I did like & helped balance the over all taste of my meal. One other thing that distinguishes a BBQ restaurant from the others, is the sauce. I felt the BBQ sauce was a little watered down & could use more texture. Or perhaps, more than one sauce should be offered?! I maybe should have ordered the salad bar with BBQ chicken?? Regardless, my first dining experience at Buzzie's was still fairly good, with room for improvement on value & quality of the side dishes. I've had many good, very food & excellent dining experiences at BBQ restaurants in the past. I am hoping to have a better dining experience at Buzzie's next time?!

WOW!!! When in Rome... We didn't want to just try a usual chain location, so we used yelp to find us the best barbecue. The meat was so tender & juicy, the coleslaw was perfect, and the entire place was well kept up. So don't let the outside low key appearance fool you! And since this place was a winner of the Pitmasters, we just had to check it out. And so glad we did!! Highly recommend it.

When I went, the parking lot was full and I had to park in the overflow lot. Once I got inside, I was shocked to see the dining room empty. Turns out that everyone was there for a doomsday preppers meeting. The brisket was pretty good, and the staff was friendly, but the vibe was off-putting and made it hard to enjoy the meal.

This place was recommended by someone we met on the river. We were there about 20 minutes before they close. Had brisket, ribs and jalapeno sausage. Requested for moist brisket. The brisket smoke flavor was good but it was a bit tough for my taste and not moist. Ribs were not as tender. They may have a new pit master? Jalapeño sausage was not bad. Cherry cobbler was ok. The staff was friendly.

Three meat plate.
Milkey S.

Huge portions and pretty good bbq. Got the three meat plate and needed a friend to help finish it. Two full sausage links, a set of ribs and a huge portion of brisket. Like the brisket the best and the sausage the least. The locals always recommend this place over the others but I think next time I will compare. Still, good basic bbq in large portions. Nothing wrong with that.

A good old fashioned bbq place that's worth stopping by for a bite. The sides were great too.

THE BEST BBQ! The…read morepeople running the place have such a comforting presence! The plating is very well done, you start with picking form options on the screen and meal options as well. At the cutting board, you will make your way down to the self serving beans and several other sides and toppings! You pay and fill your soda of choice. You can make your way to the right entry and there is several seating options inside. Or make your way outside where you see where the delicious meat is smoked. The meat is so tender and made with so much love it is the best comfort food. The potato salad is top tier I recommend 100%

Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was exactly what you'd expect in a divey, local BBQ joint…read more I had the brisket and sausage (made locally in Kerrville), and my husband had the ribs. Where to begin? None of the meats are seasoned well and they lacked the smoky flavor promised by the stacks of wood outside. I asked if the sides were made in house and was assured they are. The potato salad is, for sure, out of a carton - both the potato texture and flavor made me think of prepared grocery store quality. The cole slaw was fresh, but had no flavor. I had to heavily salt and pepper everything to eat it. Even the beans were straight out of a can. Unfortunately, their homemade sauce didn't make any of it more palatable. It's thin in texture and flavor. Little to no sugar, no cayenne for heat, no vinegar to balance. Just a red sauce that didn't taste anything akin to barbecue sauce. Unfortunately, this was our one chance to try the famous Texas BBQ and my only hope is that it's not indicative of all Texas BBQ.

For my wife's birthday, she wanted to go to Camp Verde restaurant for brunch/breakfast. We took her…read morebrother and his wife, who have, miraculously not been to Camp Verde compound even after passing it by on their way to Bandera on many of their trips to the area. Anyway, it was a glorious day after 3 days of good soaking rain, which we badly needed in the hill country. The food has always been top notch grade here. The service is very efficient and professional. As for the ambience, the inside is bright and well lighted but to be impressed, you have to go outside. Since it was a glorious day of bright sunshine, coolish temperature and a very friendly breeze blowing, we had a time walking around the area. The surrounding area was lush and very green after the few days of rain! We had a lovely time taking pictures. My brother in law was very surprised about the camel story behind Camp Verde. Camels were used as experimental animals to carry provisions in the 1850's. They were stationed in this area. Unfortunately, the experiment failed because the soldiers hated the camels, who had a reportedly nasty disposition and soldiers ended up with motion sickness because of the animal's unusual walking gait. If you want to visit the area, now is a good time before the summer heat gets here. FYI, if you like Christmas, the gift shop here gets an early start in October! If you like Christmas decorations like my wife, come here and shop. They really fill up the gift shop with goodies!

I've been to the Camp Verde General Store a couple of times and had been very much looking forward…read moreto trying the restaurant. Well, my husband and I finally came today. WOW!!! What an amazing experience. The hostesses were super nice and welcoming. Our server, Shannon, was top-freaken-notch! And the chef was as professional as he was nice. The food was incredible! The best truffle fries I have ever had, and I've had quite a few variations. The sandwiches were delicious and my husband said it was the best split pea soup he's ever had. Definitely our favorite eatery! Side note, the buildings and grounds are breathtaking. We will be coming back. I will also be bringing my daughter and grandson when they come for a visit in April.
