Damon's Real Texas BBQ - Brisket nachos - Barbeque Near Me - Wharton, Texas

See all

This place is a pleasant surprise. Stopped by here on a whim not even really hungry. And let me tell you I am glad that I did. Brisket was very well prepared and seasoned. Sausage was good. Worth the try. The bbq sauce was thicker than most with a touch of spice. Little spot. Only outdoor mostly covered seating. Service was okay could be a little quicker but I feel there was a disconnect this day. Maybe missing staff or things were out of order in the back. Nevertheless. Really surprising spot and I would highly recommend to make the trip. I know I will and I'm about an hour away. read more

Damon's Real Texas BBQ - Small Brisket and sausage plate plus a drink. - Barbeque Near Me - Wharton, Texas

So I saw this place posted on TikTok. I know what you're gonna say, it's TikTok. Believe me, I know lol. I drove all the way from Magnolia to come try their brisket elote and ended up leaving with $130 worth of bbq lol I would make that trip again for just the elote. The brisket was absolutely amazing from flavor to cook. The chicken quarters, you don't even have to do anything to them besides just eat it, no sauce needed. Highly recommended and will be going back for more soon! Service was great and I got my food very quickly. read more

Wow! The brisket tacos were on point. The service was quick. And the seating was lovely. That corn with the brisket on top was very very good.Thank you! read more

We found this BBQ place on Yelp. We are so happy we took the off the main highway chance. You order at the window and sit at clean picnic tables outdoors, under a big tent. The dining is casual, but the food is far from ordinary. The service was Texas friendly, and we will definitely stop here next time we are passing through. Don't miss this! read more

Great food! The brisket is so tender and seasoned perfectly. I had the breakfast croissant with brisket & eggs, my spouse had the taco with brisket & cheese on fresh tortilla, my brother had the tostada with brisket, refried beans, cheese & fried egg. The complimentary chips & salsa were very good. The fire burning stove was perfect keeping us warm. A great place to have bbq with an awesome expanded menu beyond the usual chicken, sausage & brisket. Everything is prepared fresh when you order. read more

Great sausage brisket and ribs!! I also got the corn and the beans for sides and the were good. I liked the drive thru and fast service.

Damon's BBQ a has BBQ figured out. They offer delicious ribs and chicken, and unlike Heinz, they let you build your combo plate with either or both. The portion size of the two meat combo is great. Their meat is still moist and juicy with Smokey flavor. The pricing is a bit better than Heinz too It's a bit quirky set up, it's really a trailered pit set up next to a few temporary buildings. All the seating is outdoors on a nice porch with big blowers. The restroom is a port-a-potty and the sink is a foot pump operated style we put in temporary work sites. They do have a drive through which is nice when riding dirty back from the woods. read more

Based on failure in customer service, too young to understand what good customer service is. brisket was pretty good. read more

The sausage burger was excellent, never had one like it. The Real Texas in the name lives up to the hype! Please support this local gem.

This is a new location for Damon's and I'm glad it's in my neighborhood! The brisket was tender and well smoked, and the ribs had an excellent crust and smoke ring. The meat fell off the bone but was not over cooked. The spices were just right and their homemade sauce was incredible! For the sides I had the bacon/onion potatoes which were good, but a little too soft for my tastes. The cabbage had just the right amount of bacon and was crunchy and flavorful. The employees were friendly and helpful and kept my glass filled with an excellent sweet tea. From the road this place looks small, but there are four huge picnic tables with plenty of seating and two Texas-sized fans to keep you cool. Parking is available on the side and back of the building. Definitely a place I'll be returning to and I'll be bringing my friends. read more

Very slow. Very expensive and not that good. Brisket was all fat. It is too far off of the highway to be worth it.

Yummy BBQ. Try it all, but the PEACH COBBLER. Holy moly. Too good and unlike anything I've ever tried!

This place is a MUST TRY, even if you're not in the area. Make the trip to Wharton and you will not regret it. The Brisket and the ribs were spot on, sides were excellent and the staff was very pleasant. We'll be back very soon! read more

Excellent BBQ. Ribs and brisket always moist and good. Got two favorite sides. Onion potatoes and cabbage. Cabbage loaded with bacon and butter. Can't ask for anything better. I also recommend the potato nachos. They spiral the potato and top with brisket and all the nacho fixings are layered on top. It's great street food you can walk around with. And would be amazing with a beer!! It's nice Wharton finally has a great BBQ place. Get you some read more
