    I don't like being a hater but GOD DAMN this place really just buns I came back a year later to try and give it a second chance in hopes that maybe they got it together but you ever have a meal so bad you sit there and just laugh? Monday special was a brisket plate which ended up being $17 after tax and tip. Asked for lean brisket with Mac and ranch potatoes. How you charge somebody $17 for cafeteria food. Literally could've went to HEB, sliced up a steak, and threw it in the microwave and got the same quality for half the price. Like bro what is this. Got me gnawing on overcooked erasers and having to drown the taste in a barbecue sauce that's 90% ketchup. Highlight of the meal was the pickles which are honestly just hamburger pickles out a jar and that leaves a lot to be said about the food. I am in NO WAY a professional reviewer. So my standards aren't even that high to begin with. The fact that I'm taking time out of my day to write this says a lot about the food.

    inside- great setup

    Hadn't been to this location but wow it's really great!! they have a massive dining area- the setup is awesome- whoever designed it did a really great job- Customer service is great- everyone was super helpful- love the condiment bar and the options there- The brisket was nice and moist!! which i greatly enjoyed- i also just love how many side options they have- my husband loves the okra in particular. The mac n cheese was pretty good but needed some more salt. The pinto beans needed more salt too but better than having too much so i understand the thought. I look forward to trying more things in the future!!! the medians to get here was a pain but that's not C&Js fault and i know everyone in town have beef with the medians. Way to go C&J!! extra points for them too because they donated to our elementary silent auction!!

    This is no chain BBQ; it's the real deal Texas BBQ! I am a certified BBQ judge and have eaten a lot of BBQ from different regions. I can say, based on experience that C&J is up there with the big boys of Texas BBQ! And of course, Texas BBQ is king! My whole family went out for a nice dinner at C&J on Memorial Day evening. We were thrilled to see them open and not out of BBQ. We were quickly greeted up front and went on down the line trying to choose from all of the delicious looking meats, sides and desserts. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were so many of us that we had a little of everything. I had the brisket and sausage. The Brisket was the best! Traditional Texas with plenty of pepper, perfectly done and moist. It was some of the very best that I've had. The sausage was good, but seemed to be traditional Kielbasa. I would have enjoyed beef, but it is not offered. The two sausages offered are pork and spicy pork. Also, I was a little disappointment that I only got 3, half-slices of brisket. It appears as though you get less if you order two meats. Still it was excellent! Live and learn... My son had the pork spare ribs. They were Texas style with pepper and no sauce. The were also excellent! While I did not try the chicken half, they also looked to be a perfect Texas-style half. The sauce on-the-side was really good. There was regular and spicy. It has a tomato base and slightly sweet. Just the way like it. The only dish that we really didn't care for was by Dad's chopped beef sandwich. It was very finely chopped and soggy. I think a coarse chop with less sauce would have been much better. The sides were also very good. We had fried okra and my favorite was the collard greens. Yum! Almost everything was delicious! I will definitely be back and this time know what to order. That brisket is extraordinary! And don't forget to finish it off with a blackberry or peach cobbler. Better yet, the banana pudding!

    Enjoyed my loaded baked potato with brisket. The customer service is great. I have only used the drive thru, so I can't speak to the ambiance. I recommend asking for extra BBQ sauce.

    Stopped in for some BBQ Ordered the Brisket, jalapeños sausage, and ribs, with green beans and monthly special carrots and broccoli. He was ok, the brisket and ribs were a little fatty for me. Jalapeños sausage was excellent. Service was fast and friendly. Inside is super cool with nice stuff to check out. Pics attached

    We were in town for one of my kids camp at the a&m and this was one of the options/suggestions we had for lunch, The place is huge great for big parties, the staff was friendly and very helpful with the overall menu questions we had on the very short line(thankfully wasn't that bad of a line for lunch hour)it was packed with busy business people holding meetings there but that meat place is friendly to everyone, the food was ok the star of the day was the dessert, I'm not I repeat I AM NOT a fan of banana pudding but this one has been THE BEST so far.

    The ribs were perfect. The sides I had (potato salad and coleslaw) did not have much taste. The condiment bar made up for it.

Garlic Burger w/ Garlic Fries- if you're a garlic fan, this was packed with a pretty strong garlicky taste. Superman w/ Garlic Fries- large and flavorful. Not too spicy from the jalapeños, but the veggies and bun balances it out. Banana Pudding- probably the best that I've ever had and I've eaten a lot. We got a combo with all garlic fries and a refillable fountain drinks. The burgers were made fresh and so juicy. The garlic fries were ridiculously delicious. The drinks were Texas made and they delicious. I loved the strawberry cream soda or the orange cream soda. Lots of different burgers and desserts to choose from. Overall, decently priced for the portions and the quality of the food. These burgers were probably the best fresh juicy burgers that we've had so far in town. We will definitely be back to try the other choices. Staff are very friendly. It was pretty busy so they gave me a heads up about waiting approximately 40mins which was ok for us cause we had time on our side. I was just happy and appreciative that they communicated that vs me just waiting forever thinking that they forgot about me. The restaurant is self order and pickup. As small as it looks on the inside, there's quite a bit tables to include a mini snack shop. There are additional tables outside too. It can get a little congested near the cashiers area. The parking lot is small and can be hard to find parking, but we scored a spot right in front. Some parked on the grass along the main road, just be careful.

    The burgers are huge and great. We ordered a Bacon Burger combo and a Cheese Burger combo.

Service was top notch! I could spend hours reading the writing on the walls and the signs inside and out. Aside from burgers they offer homemade desserts. We drove from Lake Somerville so it's worth the drive from anywhere!

This is why you give everyone a 2nd chance. We'll be back!

They give you a pager to let you know when it's chow time. Bring the pager to the kitchen window where your hot food will be waiting for you. I ordered the catfish and gulf shrimp. I t came with hush puppies and coleslaw. I added the fried okra as my side. My wife had the gulf shrimp as well and couldn't stop raving about it. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed Feed Barn so much, we were back just two days later. The Yelp reviews say it all. If you're hungry and want great southern fare, Feed Barn won't disappoint!
