I can not say enough good things about Smokin A's. They have the best barbecue I have ever tasted,…read moreno lie. The ribs have meat that just falls off the bone. The brisket is so tender and flavorful! Their baked potatoes come stuffed with toppings. The chopped beef sandwich is also really good! They also have specials that are also really good. I was lucky to try their carne guisada special once, and it was so good! The best carne guisada I have ever tasted. Also, the staff is really nice. It's a family run barbecue place, but they are all friendly. Oh, and the portions are a good value for money! If you are in or near Blessing, you have to try Smokin A's. You will not be disappointed!

With only three restaurants in the small town of Blessing, you certainly can't go wrong with BBQ. You can smell the flavor in the smoke, once arriving at Smokin A's. I just happened to arrive before the long line lunch rush. You order at the counter & the courteous staff members bring your food to the table. Fountain drinks & tea are available self serve. I ordered the brisket & sausage plate with beans & potato salad. The brisket was amazing, tender, flavorful & just fell apart in my mouth. The sausage was also very good & had a tasty smoked flavor. The BBQ sauce was prefect, not too watered down & really enhanced the meal. The beans were also good, but the overly mayonnaise drenched potato salad recipe could be improved. Also, only chicken leg quarters are offered on the menu. No chicken breast option, which is my favorite healthier choice. Still... it was a very good first dining experience! I will certainly try again.

Inside we were greeted by warm welcomes and smiles from Kelli and Christine. Both were so gracious walking us through the menu. We opted for brisket and two different kinds of ribs. And let me tell you, the BBQ was superb! It was so good that we came back 4 days later to try the hump day fix menu. A menu that consists of lunch items. The burgers and taco we tried were just as good. If you're in the area (or even if you're not) make sure you stop by for some great BBQ!

The potato salad is another quiet win, better than average, and a great side for nearly anything on the menu. The brisket is tender, though I wish it had more pepper. Same story with the salmon, its solid but nothing overly memorable. The ribs didn't hit my personal taste; they lean very sweet, best description is big red with cream soda l, but they're extremely tender and could definitely appeal to anyone with a sweeter preference. The peach cobbler is really good. It's built more like a bread pudding, served warm with ice cream, not overly sweet, and light enough that I ended up finishing the whole serving. The staff here is genuinely welcoming, and the place has a fun, lively energy. While eating, I overheard locals saying they eat here twice a day and at current beef prices, that tells you something.

Drove almost two hours from Houston for their Saturday brunch only to find the doors locked! Big time bummer! Maybe some tragic event? Hopefully not calling it quits! Bay City NEEDS Fat Grass! Went to Waterfront in Matagorda for lunch instead. Really nice, but not Fat Grass. Upon returning to retrieve our SUV from in front of Fat Grass, we notice that, lo and behold, they are opening for evening service. Felt like walking over and asking why their website fibbed to us, but foot hurting from recent surgery, so just traveled on to my parents house for drinks and the Kentucky Derby.... Therefore, not really a review; just a comment on the lackadaisical attitude of management I've come to expect from lesser establishments these days regarding treatment of "valued" customers... Nice job!
