We had the catfish, onion rings, chicken fried steak and a club sandwich. Catfish, onion rings and chicken fried steak are awesome! Fish batter actually had a little kick to it and the onion rings are some of the best I have ever had.

That with the Daly thin cut fries, just made this foodie a very happy camper. The apple cobbler was good as well. We had a very sweet waitress who was on the ball, kept our drinks filled and didn't have us waiting around when it was time to go. We will be back!

Yearby's is the greasy spoon hole-in-the-wall you been dreaming of. We arrived Sunday Aug 31 2025 at 11:30 am thinking we'd be late but they moved up the open time at noon. We were maybe 8th in line. Wanted to deduct points for being out of turkey and hot links before they even opened but the food was just too dang good! The brisket is top tier. Have had better, but not by much. Great bark. Perfect tenderness. Adequate smoke. What more do you need? The smoked chicken though, wow wow wow... if you leave without getting some you really did yourself a disservice. The smoked meatloaf was a pleasant treat. It wasn't dry, the glaze was superb, and they gave you a lot of it! The potato salad and mac and cheese weren't spectacular but definitely did the job and anchored down the meal. Everything on platter was 60 bucks. I've spent more for worse. Get to Pilot Point and give em a try!

"An hour's drive for BBQ this good feels like cheating the laws of physics."…read more TL;DR: Yearby's BBQ and Waterice is a brisket-and-elote blessing straight outta the smokehouse heavens, run by Sabrina and CJ who know their way around both a pit and a frozen treat. Friendly folks, flavor-packed plates, and a mango waterice that deserves its own holiday. Twelve out of ten, will burn more gas for this again. An hour on the road is nothing when the horizon promises smoke and good folks. I rolled into Yearby's at 1:30 with an appetite big enough to make a rack of ribs nervous. Turns out, I was late to the party. The earlier crowd had already cleaned house on a few menu items, but brisket and turkey were still calling my name. I grabbed both, plus brisket elote, potato salad, and slaw. Let me tell you, that chopped brisket was tender enough to make a grown man question life choices and the turkey had a peppery kick that played nice with every bite. The elote? A messy, glorious mountain of corn, cotija, sauce, and brisket piled high. It was the kind of side dish that could run for mayor and win in a landslide. Potato salad and slaw backed it up like seasoned pros, no weak links on this plate. The dining room was full but there were still a few open spots waiting for hungry travelers. I snagged one and boxed up half the feast so my wife, the reigning Side Dish Queen of Texas, could hold court over the flavors later. She approved, which in my household is the BBQ equivalent of earning a Michelin star. Banana pudding wasn't on the menu, but the mango waterice saved the day. Cool, tangy, and perfect for a man who just wrestled brisket and elote into submission. I might've looked like a kid on summer break eating that thing, and I didn't care one bit. Sabrina and CJ know how to feed a crowd and treat folks like family. Yearby's is the kind of place that makes you start planning your next visit before you even leave the parking lot. Stamp collected. Only 37 more to go on this Texas Monthly Top 50 trek. If happiness had a flavor, it'd taste like Yearby's chopped brisket with a mango waterice chaser.

I'm going again tonight to try the fried shrimp. Hopefully it will be USA Gulf shrimp, not the chinese, farm raised shrimp which has NO flavor compared to true Gulf shrimp. Stay tuned. BTW, the service was great.
