All the fat picked off the brisket and the not so good sausage.
Ivan J.

The luck we've had in Seguin when it comes to food is amazing. This place has its faults , but the four was because overall it was good! We had the famous brisket on brisket burger, and the trio plate. First the burger...wow! One of the best I've had in a while! Amazing flavor! It was perfect...EXCEPT...the actual brisket. It's a theme here that brisket honestly seems like they make zero attempts to trim it. It's not dry, and it is flavorful. We had a COMICAL side of macaroni. It was the absolutely smallest side I think I've ever had and I grew up with churches chicken calling a McDonald's small fries a family order. For three plus dollars too! To the plate, the brisket same thing...half fat and half meat. Still delicious, but had to pick off a lot of the fat which seems like sacrilege. The turkey was great! The fries were adequate. The onion rings are pretty good! The sausage on the other hand...just no. Had the texture of cornmeal. Didn't finish it. It looked pretty too what a-shame! The bbq sauce was AMAZING! Especially the spicier one! The menu has some crazy items! We want to come back with the whole crew to try all the items. Like lamb barbacoa and lamb ribs! We also had tres leches and banana pudding to go. The tres leches was just ok, and skip the banana pudding...trust me.

Fried catfish plate with cream corn and mac&cheese
Saunya O.

This was a great find! I got the fried catfish plate and which was hot and delicious. The mac&cheese is the best I have had since moving to the area 6 years ago, and the cream corn was delicious. I love the vibe of the place. It has an old backyard BBQ feel with a family atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and the service was fast. I will add this place as a favorite.

Ordered trio plate of chicken, turkey breast and pork ribs with a side of creamed corn and mac & cheese. And a catfish plate with cole slaw and green beans.

My assorted meats order. So so good.

I stopped in and got a variety of meats to go. I believe I may have met and spoken to the owner himself. Great guy! GREAT food. They've been around as long as me! If you're ever in Seguin, please stop in. They have burgers, catfish, shrimp, and a variety of family recipe sides - possibly the best potato salad I've ever had! Plus yummy looking desserts.

Mom saw Davila's on TV and wanted try it. She loved it but me and hubby felt it was ok compared to other bbq places in the San Marcos & surrounding areas. We had the ribs, Turkey leg, and brisket Grill cheese sandwich.

Must try! Papa Davila - smoked potato, with brisket, cheese and sour cream! It's enough for 2 meals! As we were eating, a lady says this peach cobbler is amazing! Y'all check out Davilas BBQ!

1 meat plate - (smoked Turkey, macaroni and cheese, and fries)
Amanda S.

YUM!! I like everything I have tried here so far! My lunch today was the 1 meat plate with 2 sides. It is a great value, very big portion that I split up to enjoy for my 2nd lunch later in the day The turkey is smoked perfectly and very juicy and flavorful. I think their macaroni and cheese might be my favorite anywhere. I could eat a whole plate of just that!! The food is served quickly and I love how friendly everyone is. The owner makes it a point to check in on his customers and greet everyone as you come in! I like that they have a drive thru too for when I'm in a rush. 10/10!

Brisket Big Boy on Bun
Antonio Z.

Nice folks. The smoked chicken was good. The brisket on a cold bun killed my experience. This place has potential but the dry brisket with large chunks of fat needs attention.

All the spots in houston and Schulze's bbq is up there with any of them if not the best! I'm starting to wonder if Texas monthly is even a legit thing. Because this place could easily be number one. I'm surprised I've never heard of them because this is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Some of the best customer service too! I'm so glad I stopped in. This will be my go to every single time when I'm in Seguin, Texas. Food: everything was phenomenal! The brisket was made to perfection absolutely some of the best brisket I've ever had. The jalapeño sausage, I've never had a jalapeño sausage that good! The cheese was bursting out of the seam! The tater salad oh my God! Talk about a blast from the past if you're from Houston Texas, and remember the old Heights camp house BBQ, you will remember they had Camp house potatoes. They tasted exactly the same wow I was so happy to try that because I never thought I'd have a dish like that again in my life. The brisket rice was OK. I probably would get something else. The banana pudding was phenomenal. This is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Easy five star review! The customer service was great. The line moved quickly and everyone was extremely nice. I will go out of my way to come here and get barbecue every single time when I'm at Seguin, Texas. This should be on Texas monthly, this should be on everyone's radar if you love barbecue! Once again, thank y'all for the amazing customer service and amazing food!

We shared a plate of the beef cheek pastrami, which is reason enough to visit all by itself, and breakfast tacos rounded out the orders. Portions were large, the cooking was superb, and I will definitely be back. Next time I'll bring a chair for the line.

If you think the lines are crazy for Franklin's, you won't believe them for Burnt Bean...line wraps around the block! The bourbon peach cobbler taco is a brilliant creation. Give it to me all day everyday. The sides are far from the ordinary. They do a mean Cheetos macaroni and cheese. It's actually a hot Cheetos queso mac & cheese. Woah times 1,000! Don't get me started on the street corn pudding. My boyfriend loses his mind for the King Ranch macaroni and cheese. I'm a nutter for the chopped brisket sandwich. Slow-roasted brisket that melts in your mouth from the initial hit to your tongue until the last bite swallowed. Boyfriend likes the prime brisket entree-1/2pound with sides. They've have a lot of other offerings like turkey, pork, sausage, brisket tacos, various desserts and more. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Bonus: brekkie served on weekends!

Their menu is average sized with apps, a senior menu, kids menu, salads, burgers/sandwiches, pastas, entrees and desserts. They also have a happy hour menu with specials ranging from $1 - $9. They even have cocktails with Power Plant themed names. I was in the mood for steak and unfortunately this town seems to be void of steaks for some reason; however, the Power Plant offers one on their menu. I chose a steak with green beans and mashed potatoes. They indicated the steak of the day was a ribeye, but I've never seen a ribeye shaped like this before, it was long and skinny like a skirt steak, or a strip. Ribeye - tender for the most part and tasty. Almost tasted like a flat iron steak, but somehow this was actually a ribeye despite its unusual shape. Long piece of gristle across one entire side and fat cap at the end. This 12oz steak was more like 9 oz after removing all of that. Green beans - basic canned beans with several bacon chunks Mashed potatoes- chunky with brown gravy. The bread that comes with this is basically 2 ends of a griddled hot dog bun. Service was ok as the waitress came around a couple of times to check on me. She forgot to ask me how I wanted the steak cooked, and also came back to tell me she originally gave me the wrong price for it. It ended up being around $25, as opposed to $22 as she originally indicated. I also added a homemade brownie with ice cream to go. This was a pretty average brownie dessert.

On a recent evening I wasn't planning on dinner; perhaps more of a liquid diet kinda night. Togo containers all around me hearing praise after praise nearby made me go shell out a mere $15 for a two meat plate with a bacon wrapped jalapeno and sides. Mama raised this boy right! Here's the verdict: St. Louis style pork ribs were fall off the bone tender. Perhaps some of the best bark on ribs that I've experienced. A bit crispier than I'm used too paired with holy sh*t good BBQ sauce. This is a must try food food truck slash caterer here in ATX. Seriously, quite close to nearby faves Salt Lick and Valentina's. Smoked sausage was also excellent. Maybe an higher percentage of fat in the crisp casing? The smoke from the pit really sent this selection into overdrive. With the exception of Austin fave Smokey Denmark, I don't get excited about sausage. JLM's was quite stellar. Amazing BBQ sauce hopefully known from this day Ol' Rooster coined "triple nipple" is also spread across the meat to your specs. Here's something I don't regularly comment on either...sides. Beans packed with brown sugar and jalapenos could be the best I've had in a BBQ setting. Realistically, I'm only knocking off a star for one issue. This is Texas folks; if you don't have pickles, onions, and jalapenos (pickled) readily available your missing something that we expect. Otherwise, over the top excellent!
