I felt like we intruded on these ladies lunches! I'm looking all over for a menu and finally ask the girl behind the counter and she pulls a menu out. I'm was so confused as to why they don't just keep them out. The next thing that got me is that there weren't prices on the menu. We ordered 2 pulled pork and 1 chicken salad and it was about $38. The girl behind the counter was very sweet and accommodating, especially for my picky kids. My kids love pulled pork and they said this was okay but they preferred grandpa's. It did look a little dry but my husband said it was okay. My chicken salad sandwich was dry as well. The potato salad was really good though!!! They both could have used a little more seasoning. Thankfully there was salt on the table. Now for the star of the show... the pickles!!! I'm the only real pickle eater and I thought they were really good... enough so that I bought a big container. It was a little odd because the pickles on my plate were different textures. My husband actually noted the same thing. We went back and got a Dr Pepper cake. It was moist and had an interesting flavor. I don't think I would have guessed DP if I hadn't known it before.

The owner came right up to the window, talked us through what they had and told us about the day's special. Just good old-fashioned hospitality. We had the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches, and both were delicious. And whoever decided to toast those buns knew what they were doing - that little extra touch made a good sandwich even better. The place is simple, no-frills and gets right down to business: good BBQ, friendly folks and quick service. Exactly the kind of hometown spot you hope to stumble across in a Texas town.

You'd have to try real hard to put up a more un-appealing storefront and ordering station than those at Young's BBQ. Crude set-up, lackluster atmosphere with sloppy hand scribbled notes taped or thumbtacked to most of the walls, cheap paper plates, all plastic eating utensils -- just a sad way to see a restaurant being run. A smart investor would build a clean, pleasant, well-run barbecue restaurant in Lampasas... right next door. I had the pork ribs, cold and disappointing. The pinto beans were tasty but room temperature. "Would you like something to drink? Get it yourself!" And half of the drink selections were out of order with handwritten notes stuck to the dispensers. Our order was 2 pork ribs for me and tea to drink; a chopped sandwich and tea for my lunchtime companion... nearly $35 Never, ever again. By the way, the kitchen lady came out wearing a gray tee-shirt with a word across the front -- It said, "BULLS***!" I had to wholeheartedly agree. But that's about all they got right.

Fat people line up and settle for lowlife service and marginal good.

Absolutely YES. I just can't resist it! Everything goes together so scrumptiously, and I know I'm definitely not the only one who considers it an all-time favorite. Yeah, prices have gone up, but guess what? They've gone up everywhere. That's life. If you want good food and you want it done right, just pull on in and pick something off the menu. Seriously, it doesn't matter what you get, it's gonna be good. And if it's morning? Those breakfast tacos... OMG. Hands down some of the BEST in town! Storm's just knows how to feed people right.

Recently moved from So California to Lampasas Texas. California has lots of high end, low end Mom and Pop, fast food or anything and everything in between. But I must say my son and I went there for lunch today. Absolutely thrilled with the food, and the service was amazing. The young gentleman that served us had only work there since January. Very knowledgeable very kind and considerate. Also the other servers would check on our table just to provide us with excellent service.

The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor area that reminds you of the outdoor areas of resorts in Mexico. The food is fresh, light, great value and absolutely Delicious! The service from the time I walked in to the time I left was top notch. Everyone was very friendly and I love how when a local came in, they were welcomed as family and if you were new to their establishment, they took the time to greet, welcome you, talk about their menu and gave you suggestions. I had a Mango Winerita (they can only serve beer and wine since they're close to a school and a church) which was super refreshing. The usual chips and salsa came to the table. The salsa had a nice flavor and just the right amount of heat... That your taste buds response to but than the heat goes away. The Queso was liquid gold... Smooth and cheesy... Perfect consistency that coats your chips but doesn't drip all over the place. I was treated to a different salsa that isn't normally brought to the table unless you asked for it. Woww!! Chunky with a nice roundness of smokey flavor, freshness and again the perfect touch of heat. The Jalapeno Fried Chips are beyond words... Thinly sliced, fried golden perfection with a Ranch Dipping Sauce to accommodate them. I couldn't stop eating them! So addictive. Than my main course... The Mexican Steak plate. Thinly sliced perfectly tender cooked meat with onions, peppers and tomatoes tossed all together. Rice and beans rounded off the plate perfectly. Everything was cooked right, everything was fresh and surprising light. The portions are generous and the prices are extremely reasonable. It was a perfect way to end my Day Trip in Lampasas. I look forward to going there again and exploring more of their menu. If you are from that area and have never been... Go support your local businesses! If you are driving through and on your way to Austin, stop there to fill your tummy... You will not be disappointed. Last but not least... It is an all CASH only restaurant. They do have an ATM inside. This restaurant is definitely worth another road trip!
