But, not having any other choices with a livestock trailer, I pulled in here. Order a cheeseburger. She made it while I waited so it was fresh. I grabbed my to-go bag and headed to my truck. Took one bite, and holy crap, this was good. Seriously one of the best tasting burgers I've had, especially from a gas station. Just the right amount of grease to give it a really good, seasoned flavor. I know the fries were frozen, but they were cooked right and seasoned properly. All-in-all, I was pleasantly surprised. I may have to drive out of my way to get another burger!

You order at the counter and they serve you at your assigned table. We more or less tried all of the meats and they are excellent. Standouts were of course the brisket, and the ribs. The turkey is also delicious. The potato salad is good too. Apparently the desserts are amazing but we were too full!

It's Labor Day. I'm driving back from Granbury to Hutto, and I think about my Texas Monthly…read morepassport. I'm addicted to stamps. I'm addicted to putting points on the board. What BBQ place on the list happens to be open on a Monday (and quite frankly, seven days a week)? Miller's Smokehouse in Belton. Miller's Smokehouse has one of the longest tenures on the Texas Monthly Top 50, making the list four times in a row (the third-highest behind Louie Mueller and Snow's). They've got their business down. As I arrived, I parked in a free parking lot just across the street and got into the line around 12:30. The line moves pretty efficiently, and you order separately from the barbecue line. I think this immediately felt disheartening as a barbecue fan. You kinda expect to get your food while in line and watch the assembly of workers put it together, instead of them being in a separate location in the back giving you order numbers. It doesn't feel like a true Texas barbecue experience and more like a Dickey's Barbecue Pit. Instead of going for a tray, I opted for one of their specialty sandwiches, the El Gallo Picante. It has their spicy hot link sausage and their smoked chicken topped with coleslaw, onions, jalapeños, pickles, and barbecue sauce. I also got a side of their broccoli salad out of curiosity and a roll of their homemade cornbread. I got my drink and sat down with my roll of cornbread. It wasn't long until my tray came to me. The sandwich stood on its own as a behemoth. So much chicken and sausage fell out of the bun. The sandwich was less concerned about being a sandwich and more focused on creating a space to try and contain a mixture of ingredients. It wasn't bad, but it was hard to say anything other than that I felt uninspired by the entire thing. The sausage was fine, the chicken was kinda dry, but everything together with all the separate ingredients masked the meats' faults. The broccoli salad was a unique side that I had never seen before at a barbecue joint, so I wanted to try it. It was cool, but not something I'd get again. As for the cornbread, it was quality, but if that's the most impressive part of the meal, then I'm questioning the establishment's ability to create a good barbecue experience. I think it's so cool to have so many special barbecue places near me and the ability to try so many, but I'm starting to wonder if the places that stay on the list for four editions start to lose their oomph. Do they become complacent knowing they already have their business and are established? Is there any need to try and push the envelope when you're just a recurring guest on top barbecue lists? Is it a me issue? Is it my fault I went to Burnt Bean a week prior and now I'm trying a place that sells all-day barbecue? With your big brick-and-mortar and your TV screen menus, you're not as hungry as you used to be.

The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food to get. I got maybe 6 or 8 wings, fries, a slice of bread and a bottled water for $10. My sister got fried ribs for $10. I didn't expect the wings to be battered. They looked good. The fries were by far my favorite part. They were fresh, hot, crispy, and well seasoned. The wings were seasoned and crispy as well. But they weren't made fresh to order. Had they been fresh and hot they would've been even tastier. But it was nice that we got our food quickly. The lady taking our order was super sweet. She stands outside to take your order. It looks like they may have some outdoor seating. They also had a port o potty if desperate times are calling for desperate measures. It was such a cute down home place. I'll be taking my husband back to try it out.
