Another brisket that relies on a BBQ sauce. Got some Cajun turkey jerky. It was good, had what appeared to be an "oil" for flavor, but didn't leave a residue.

Perfect crust. Generous portions. Not overcharged...NOT MADE IN ANOTHER ZIP CODE AND SHIPPED IN like the beaver company. Yes they do. Friggin tourist trap. Just juicy Texas goodness. The chopped pulled pork...order a tub. Take it home. Wrap in a homemade tortilla with the aforementioned sauce...you're welcome...Or dump in scramblers for the most epic breakfast burrito you can make and take "credit" for as your guests are amazed. Pro tip...Food Save ANY "leftovers...heh" you may have to savor down the line. IF YOU want the true religious experience stop on the South 45 Shop. The smell alone is worth it. Jerky is second to none. My only niggle...BRING BACK THE CHRISTMAS HAMS!!!! My mamma gets mad at me when I come up for Christmas and Woody's didn't have them this year. Soooo... TLDR time.

I'm told by cooking different items at family gatherings and then deciding to open a restaurant which possibly began around 2008. Always wanting to support small town business and being a huge proponent of barbecue I definitely wanted to try a new place. Unfortunately it was just a quick stop as I needed to be in Dallas in a few hours and was only grabbing a quick snack. I tried both the green bean casserole and their pinto beans and I would tell you that usually if a barbecue joint has great sides, they've got great barbecue and this place had great sides and good sweet tea to boot. They had about six different types of what looked to be homemade cobbler that I do not know how I passed up, but I'm sure by calorie count I'm glad that I did, but it also looked very appealing.

Cute restaurant. Quality food. Reasonably priced. Gets busy…read moreat noon. Chopped beef sandwich was ok. Good quality but it was a bit salty and the bbq sauce was very sweet. Not my favorite. The jalepena burger was huge! The slice beef sandwich gets a 4.5 /5. Not the best but respectable.

Great service and great food!…read more We were driving by and found this place through Google maps. I cross checked. It with Yelp and we decided to try it out. Everyone who helped us was kind and helpful. Our waiter brought us this cute loaf of bread with butter. The bread was soft and filling. We both ate from the buffet. The shrimp, fried chicken, and brisket were all good as were the sides like mac and cheese, beans, hush puppies, and corn. They also had a salad bar and drinks. There's also a few different pies to select from on a shelf. We tried the chocolate and coconut pies. Both were tasty with generous portions. We'll definitely come back if we're in the area.

My dad has been coming here for years, I believe this was my first time…read more My dad went for the buffet, and I ordered a la carte. First, the service was excellent, I believe our server was named Presley. Very kind, always checking on us and keeping our water and tea full. On the buffet, my dad enjoyed the salad he had, but was surprised at the little variety offered that day. He said last time he was there with my brother there was more to choose from. He then got the fried chicken, which was greasy and barely any chicken on the thigh. I tried to find a drumstick but it was just breasts, thighs and a few wings. He did like the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. As for the fried okra, you have to eat it fresh. It is sitting under a heat lamp just makes it soggy and slimy. I ordered 4 vegetables a la carte which came out to be as much as the all you can eat buffet. First, their onion rings are OUTSTANDING! So is their homemade ranch. What was disappointing was the green beans, they definitely came out of a can and were heated. At $3.99 I expected fresh. There may have been a small piece of onion in it. Not sure if that was how it was cooked or if it fell in from another dish. The black-eyed peas were tasty. I also had a cup of the chicken corn chowder which was good. However, there was pieces of cubed chicken in it which also made me think that it was a prepackaged soup and not homemade. My dad got the coconut cream pie, which tasted good, but could have used more coconut then just on the top. He wanted bread pudding or peach cobbler, however at the time of day we were there, they had been picked over way too much, not leaving much for anyone else to enjoy. I did like the selections in the gift shop and purchased a tea towel before we left. I always like to try a place 3 times so I may stop in and try something else. Again, great customer service.

Buffalo, Texas is where Rte 79 crosses I-45. That highway junction contains a lot of restaurants…read more Some may be fine. But there is a good case to be made for going into town. The Pharm is in downtown Buffalo. A lot of locals eat here. If you are a hunter, you are going to love this place. On the front wall is one of the most impressive collections of deer trophies I have ever seen. Lots of restaurants with hunters for owners or workers put deer heads up on the wall. Few have as an impressive a collection of top score trophies as you will see at the Pharm. The antler widths are absolutely positively enormous. I didn't think they made deer with antlers that big. * * * What goes for the antlers goes for the food. Pharm takes pride in its steaks. This seemed like a good reason to order a rib eye sandwich. That rib eye was about as wide at the biggest trophy on the wall. It extended half a foot out of my bun on one side and half a foot out of my bun on the other side. The bun was merely a handle for picking the sandwich up. The rib eye was thin but absolutely tender. It was not the $150 steak you would get at an oil magnate's private dining club. But for an everyday steak sandwich, it was just great. I was happy to have it. I was also happy to have the onion rings that went with it. * * * I would say the crowd was 100% local. I was the only highway passer-through. There were a lot of people taking a break from work for lunch. Many of these guys had the name of their company embroidered on their baseball cap. There were retirees in camouflage having lunch with friends. There was one young Christian couple having a long friendly conversation with a lady who was probably the manager. The manager was holding a hammer and waving her hammer over the place. My guess is that they were talking about some kind of repair or remodel job going on in the restaurant. But then who knows? Altogether, it seemed like a comfortable neighborhood hangout. * * * I suppose you "could" do well by eating at the Subway right at the highway junction. I recommend you do better by going into Buffalo itself.

They really shouldn't be allowed to keep all their old reviews from the Mimsy's era, because it's a completely different experience now. The current rating on yelp is for the old establishment, not this new thing. I used to go here regularly and get some of the best BBQ in the area, but now they want to transition to some kind of hybrid counter-service-lunch + fine-dining-dinner place. We couldn't order dinner entrees during lunch, so I thought maybe I could get away with an appetizer and a side as a meal. The crawfish tails were $9 and I got less than 2 ounces of crawfish, and they weren't anything special. Maybe 20 total pieces. I should have taken a photo. I honestly couldn't believe it. If I got this for a table of 4, everyone would get about one bite each. The three of us spent over 70 dollars (FOR LUNCH, no alcohol) and two of us went home hungry. The only person who got a full meal was the person who spent 30 dollars on an average sized sandwich. No more brisket, no more ribs, no more cheesecake (among countless other things). All removed from the menu. Reuben sandwich - $25 for a lunch menu sandwich. Ribeye for $60? I'll just make my own and not feel ripped off. Probably never going back. Just pissed off afterwards, which is something I never thought I'd feel going to this place.

If it were just myself, or if we'd all ordered the same thing, we'd have sent the order back. However, why should three of us feel obliged to wait to start eating while the kitchen help has to redo several orders that they failed to prepare properly. As I stated, this was the second time the restaurant screwed up the same item. I'll host the five or six of us at other places in the BCS area. There are no third chances in the service industry!
