I should've stuck with the potato salad which is great. People shit on this place all the time and I don't understand why. I've eaten at most of the popular places in TX and other states, which doesn't make me a pro, but this place is minimum 3 stars. Huge helpings too at that and great staff and if you get a chance go sit inside. Lots of cool collectables.

Had the sandwich plate (chip beef), beans, coke slaw, barbecue sauce and fixings (onion, pickles…read moreand jalapenos). Overall, the food was good. Chip beef had the smoked flavor but didn't see the smoke ring when chopped. Smoke rings on meats are often considered a good sign of barbecue. The beans had a good taste not over bearing with seasoning. I'm a fan of coleslaw and this "slaw" was sweet and tasty! A bit soggy but overall, cool and refreshing! As for service, it has a counter service model. You place your order, pay your meal, and have your food plated. Customer service was top notch and friendly. Restaurant offers 70's-80's style decor with motorcycle helmets, Nascar memorabilia, and hanging toy airplanes from ceilings with wood tables. Slight country music plays in the background complements the barbeque setting.

Potato salad was very good, but at a barbecue place, it's sad that it was the high point. Service was quick, too quick for good barbecue, but not as friendly as it could have been. As a lone man on a business trip, friendly is important. Overall this place is completely forgettable, which is sad, because I wanted to write a positive review today.

Big mistake! I read the reviews on DoorDash and I decided not to order from them however, I went…read moreand read the reviews on Yelp and thought hey they're worth giving a try. The quantity of food for the price is not worth it. I got two pieces of brisket and one hot link on a two meat plate. The brisket was dry and didn't have any flavor to it whatsoever. You have to use the sauce to add flavor and I normally don't eat barbecue sauce. I'm glad I did order the spicy barbecue sauce because it was the best thing that they sent. The pinto beans did not have any flavor and they were cold. The coleslaw was. I can't even explain the taste but not like normal. Outside of the barbecue sauce being the best was the packaging. It was perfect and perfectly sealed. Try them at your own risk, but I would never order from them again.

Don't mind the bad reviews from what some say! Try it for your self and I promise you!!! You won't be disappointed- I came from California to buy a truck bed and had to give this little place a chance and I'm so glad I did!! The food was amazing- the meat falls right off the bone! So many great flavors and omg! The tea is to die for! If u want something sweet for after I highly recommend u get some of the banana pudding!!! You can thank me later! Small quiet restaurant- clean and has some cool wall art! Don't mind the dirt lot or the outside! It's what takes places inside is the key ! Till we meet again and yes I'll be back!

Order at the window inside and sit at a table and it's brought to you. Excellent and friendly customer service as all the options are explained to newcomers (how the German potato salad is made possibly different than others) to make sure you order what you prefer. The brisket sandwich was moist and flavorful and the bun was warm and toasted which was a nice touch and you have the option of sauce on the side and several toppings like pickles, onions, and jalapeños. I ordered the regular potato salad side and it was exactly how I liked it - pickle juice and no onions. The ice tea is very good also. We were so hungry after traveling all day that we forgot to take pics of the delicious food! My husband had the brisket platter with the German potato salad and he said it was very good. This place was a very good find and well worth a detour off the highway.

Ordered the three meat with brisket, chicken, and ribs. Brisket was not fresh, tender, or tasty. It was definitely left over from whenever but most certainly not cooked within the last 24 hours. And was definitely not cut specifically for me. I was there at about 1:30 pm and felt like it should have been fresh. Chicken was extremely average. Not bad at all but definitely nothing worth noting. Same with ribs. No char at all. Flavorful and decent but not worth coming back for. Beans were good. Potato salad was good. Peach cobbler was average. Sweet tea on point. I wanted to love it but truthfully the meat is better at Dickeys. And we all know that is hit or miss. I wanted to love it and I'm a native Texan and a lover of barbecue. I just can't recommend. Sorry!
