Sliced bbq sandwich and seasoned fries.

This is a great little restaurant! The service and food were excellent! Looks like it used to be an old "mom and pop" grocery store. Told them it was our first time eating there and a sweet lady (who I assume was Doug's wife) brought us samples of their steak and fish fry seasonings. Food was served hot, fresh, and fast. Wife loved the double bacon burger and potato salad. The sliced bbq sandwich was great too. The bbq sauce was good, not too hot, not too sweet. We enjoy the "out of the way" restaurants, so we loved the rustic decor and small town feel. It is "out in the boonies", but not so far out as to be inconvenient. Overall, great place to eat!

Foods good. Crawfish tails and fish...

Fried catfish plate was delicious. Great food in a cozy atmosphere and very hospitable! It was a treat on a long day of driving.

Stepping into this barbecue joint, a recipient of the prestigious Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ award,…read moreyou immediately get a sense that you're in for a treat. The atmosphere is inviting, with a clean and well-decorated interior, plenty of seating, and a friendly staff. But the real test is the food, and this place truly delivers on its reputation for solid Texas barbecue. The brisket was everything you want it to be: juicy and flavorful with a well-developed bark. It had a classic, hearty taste that made for a great main course. The pork spare ribs also had a great, flavorful bark, but they were a little on the tough side. They weren't the fall-off-the-bone tender ribs you might crave. The absolute star of the show, however, was the jalapeño and cheddar sausage. This homemade, double-grind sausage was perfectly seasoned and had a great blend of cheese and jalapeño mixed in. The casing had the perfect snap and was top-notch. The sides were equally impressive. The Maque-Choux (like a Cajun street corn) had a delightful char on the corn kernels and a perfect level of spice with a hint of red pepper. The pit beans were a classic, complementary side that made you feel like you were eating around a campfire, especially with the addition of some tender brisket mixed in. Not shown in the picture, the boudin cornbread was a delicious and unique surprise, filled with brisket, rice, and jalapeños. Overall, this is a spot I would highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic and high-quality Texas barbecue experience.

We were driving from NOLA to Austin and had high end dinner reservations in both cities so we just…read morewanted Good but Quick BBQ for our lunch stop. We passed all kinds of fast-bbq chains but found this singular joint via fellow Yelpers. Yay! We ordered a pulled pork sandwich and the ribs and sausage entree. In hindsight I should have (always do) requested light sauce or on the side because all too often (as was the case here) it is sugary and dripping in excess. The pulled pork was 5-stars despite being soaked in bbq sauce. The surprising part was there was easily 1/2 lb of meat between the little round buns. The sausages were equally incredible... homemade and you could tell because the large casings were nearly impossible to bite through but inside was a lightly packed crumble of outstanding meat and spices. We ended up just sliding or squeezing the ground meat out of the two casings. Fortunately, no bbq sauce inside the casing so the meat was able to sing on its own. The lone disappointment were the ribs - there were only 4 and they were not especially warm nor tender. I was expecting fall-off-the-bone and these resembled ribs that had cooked for 2-3 hours but needed another 2 hours to be "done." You order at the window and there's an outdoor/covered picnic-like room about 40 feet away. There is no indoor seating. While flies can get into that open room (no door) it wasn't annoying at this time of year. Parking is easy in their private lot and everything was nicely packaged since every order is essentially to-go.

There's something seriously flawed with the business model if you're okay with charging a customer…read morethe credit card fee on top of your fixed prices. Bro-- increase your prices by 2.5%z. One thing for certain is the new owners LOST the art of making LINKS. The links have no more garlic flavor nor enough tallow.
