You gotta live Fitties, this is my go-to grab a brisket sandwich spot off the 71. Not real easy to find the first time but well worth it . Always greeted with a smile and good service. Good ole Texas BBQ. read more

J.O. came out to greet me when I pulled up to let me know they're drive-through only. He said I could come in but they might put me to work. I ordered the brisket sandwich combo with potato salad and unsweetened tea. He said it was the best brisket sandwich for miles around and he wasn't just whistling Dixie. Between the terrific brisket, the price and J.O.s sparkling personality I'm glad I fought this local spot. read more

Tried out their breakfast tacos on a whim, and they were delicious! The Jailhouse was tasty, as well as the brisket/bacon/egg with some bbq sauce. Unassuming place but the signage helps you find the drive thru ordering area. Road is a bit bumpy. Planning to try more items in the future! read more

Stopped by on the way to Austin located on the side of the road down a path in a trailer. Immediately I was greeted by a friendly smile. I ordered the Lucy special since I'm on a diet it's a lean brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad. The potato salad was so good it was flavorful and was glad I made that choice. The lean brisket sandwich was incredible even though it was lean it had so much flavor that I didn't even notice it was lean. Definitely coming back next time. read more

Food and service were great. Just drive up and grab some good quick bbq right off the highway... place is a state treasure

We ordered two brisket tacos. Super dry brisket loaded with tons of bbq sauce to hide it. Soaked in grease. My wife threw hers away. Honestly it was like they buy a tray of Jack Daniel's brisket from Sam's and serve it for breakfast. I've smoked low and slow for over 20 years, and this ain't it. Don't fool your community. What a waste of money. Overrated. read more

This is good stuff and proof great BBQ always comes from local places. Say hello to J-O! You won't be disappointed. The brisket had just the right combination of smoke, spice and salt. Juicy, not dry either. Not sure it is going to make it home before it is gone! read more

Came from Houston , wasn't disappointed friendly staff and great brisket my new spot when I'm heading to Austin

The service is great! Great Bbq! Food is very flavorful , tender meat and sides that make you miss home!

Just a bit off Hwy 71 going "west" into Austin, some of the nicest folks you could ever hope to know are turning out terrific barbecue at "Fittie's" BBQ. Look for a small sign at the edge of the road with an arrow pointing to the "right". You might encounter a bump or two, riding the road to the nearby BBQ building, but this only adds to the authenticity of the experience. "Mr. Fittie" Gratten has been cooking and barbecuing for decades and his finished products are testimony to his Master Skills. The Breakfast Tacos are huge and delicious (Jailhouse is my fav), but let's focus on BBQ: flavorful Brisket, moist, and spiced just right. The owner is Texas Friendly, and that's part of the experience, also, as you will be warmly greeting and served up some memorable Brisket and delicious sides. The quality of the top notch BBQ is matched by the personable folks who own and run Fittie's. read more

without a doubt the best bbq I've had, and I've been to some of the best small town bbq joints in Texas. I am baffled at how it is possible to make chicken breast this tender and flavorful, and the brisket was no less than exceptional. VERY generous portions of the highest quality food at excellent price. read more

Great guy working hard and doing what he loves. He was accommodating even after he had to move his business and served me and my mom well. Great people and amazing food. Gotta check it out! Even let my dogs hangout with no fuss. Loved this place read more

Just moved to Bastrop and a few people randomly recommended Fitties when I asked about good BBQ places to eat in town. It did not disappoint!! Brisket was on point and flavorful! Beans and potato salad were great sides and now I can't wait to try the breakfast tacos! I'm definitely returning to Fitties with a smile! read more

So yummy! Fast food but the quality isn't. Absolutely the best barbecue in the area and the customer service is always great! Make sure you are not in a low car while coming to this place they are a lot of holes in the road coming in. Would highly recommend this place for a quick bite to eat or if you want grab dinner on your way home. read more

A trailer off the side of the road: it wasn't clear if we could park and sit anywhere so we just went through the drive thru which was so quick! The Marty taco was so good! read more

Staying in Smithville for a week. Trying out BBQ joints in the area while we were there. It's definitely worth the drive to Fitties for takeout. Everything we ordered was spot on and delicious. Best we had in the area. No dining room, but a few picnic tables outside in the shade. Call ahead and pick up your order at the drive through window. When we are back in the area, there's only one place for BBQ, that's FITTIE's!! read more

Fitties BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

This review breaks my heart to leave . Owners seem super sweet; but I pride myself in leaving REAL honest reviews. With that being said, this is by far theeeee worse bbq I have ever tasted. First, I absolutely hate bbq sauce on my bbq. Give me mine to the side so I can dip as needed. The first red flag that I ignored was when I got out of my car, I didn't get hit with the smell of smoke‍ Then contrary to the previous reviews of cheap prices I shelled out $18 for a plate of pure disappointment. Y'all! This shit was so gross. The brisket was obviously some precooked/sliced crap that they microwaved. The sausage had absolutely no evidence of ever touching a grill. The rice was sad, those beans were flavorless.... chillllle. The ribs... same sadness. I've worked in the food industry so I understand precooking or reheating leftovers but this was NOT that. Nothing ever hit a grill, it didn't look or taste like it. Bucees has better bbq for the same price. -Very Disappointed read more

Ambiance was disturbing ,service was bad the food wasn't food. Also the owners need to fix the driveway Jesus Christ.

Pulled pork! That's all I can say. It's amazing. We have had them cater birthday parties and everyone always loves the food and asks where it's from. You won't find a nicer owner and employees either! If you blink, you'll miss it though so keep your eyes peeled and look for the signs. read more

Best bbq ever. Right by the highway, amazing food, great rustic seating in the barn / yard.

Omg. Finally found a BBQ spot out here. I've tried four other spots in the area and this dominates ! How it beats the others : 1 not overly smoked 2 served hot 3 tender 4 good sauce 5 fast service 6 NOT DRY All the other spots had a combo of that list but always seemed to lack somewhere. Not here. read more

Fitties BBQ - This is a Sammie!!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

I bought brisket and it was like rubber. I took a bite and couldn't bite thru it. I took a video of this meat. I was so disgusted with it. The sample he gave me at the window was good so he convinced me to buy some. Turned out it was trash. I won't ever go back again! I'm going to look do the video. By the time I got home which was over 30 min it was too late to go back in traffic. The guy was nice but not enough to go back. read more

I've never gotten anything here I didn't like. The deluxe breakfast taco is great. Their chopped sandwiches are very good. They do mostly chopped brisket. It is a food truck but a darn good one. read more

Stopped here on our way home. Tried the 3 item combo. We got the brisket, pork sausage, and rib. We added on a chicken plate. Everything was really delicious and the prices are great. I am someone who is not found of potato salad but this one was really good! read more

Fantastic food!! Brisket, potato salad! And Mr Fittie is soooo nice and friendly! My food to go was exactly as requested. read more

Traditional Texas BBQ, brisket is chewy and doesn't melt in your mouth. Sauce is vinegar based, which is not my families favorite. Sausage is sausage, ribs were same as the brisket, not very good. Potato salad is 3rd patty Cisco, beans are bland. No deserts and only drive through. Oh and this place is not cheap. Any time I have to spit the brisket out because it feels more like gum than melt in your mouth meat, it's not worth taking to your gut. It would sit in my stomach for the day. read more

Do yourself a favor and pull off of 71, drive back in the shade trees and have some of the best barbecue between Austin and Houston.

Im new to Texas, barely know anyone and homesick not just for familiar faces but for good home comfort food wishing I knew where to go... My new neighbor suggests Fitties so I hit Hwy 71 looking for this little trailer down a dirt road. It was worth slamming on my brakes, circling back once I saw it! Glad they have a big sign now, it was too easy to miss without it. Best breakfast burrito I have ever had and my dogs second the motion! It is hereby declared our favorite place for breakfast! This lil business makes Texas shine! Last word- GO! read more

Some of the best lean brisket I have ever had. Very moist with excellent smoke. The sausage, potato salad and BBQ sauce were excellent. Very friendly service as well. We will definitely make this a regular stop on our trips to visit family. read more

The Marty taco is the best taco I've ever had hands down. They are always fresh and delicious and the people are really nice.

Great cheap food. The food was 4 stars for all the breakfast burritos but they left out part of our order. The prices have gone up but still good for the amount of food. Great grab and run place, just make sure all items from your order are in the bag. read more

We were passing through town headed towards Galveston. I wish I lived closer to eat it more often. Service was fast and plentiful. This is by far the best Bbq in town! A MUST TRY! read more

Let me start my review with a disclaimer. I was looking for breakfast and on the menu they list breakfast tacos, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast platters, etc. I went today (2/15/2020 Saturday at 12noon). Excited to try out a couple breakfast tacos and breakfast sandwich, and was informed they stop serving breakfast at 11am. What a huge disappointment. This may have marginally biased my review but I stand by it. But they should definitely serve breakfast all day or at least until late afternoon on weekends. Since I was there, thought I would try their lunch. I ordered a double cheeseburger, fries and a drink ($10 + change). The portion size was good - met my expectations. As for the taste buds, the meal was rather...basic. Not bad, but nothing special either. It satisfied my hunger but missed an opportunity to be amazing. It kinda reminded me of decent cafeteria type food. That's the best way for me to describe it. Pros: - variety of food options for a walk up counter - friendly staff/owners - fast service (about 5 mins) - portion size is good Cons: - doesn't serve breakfast later on weekends - doesn't visibly state breakfast ends at 11am - lacking flavor (not bad, just not memorable) That being said, you should definitely try it for yourself and come up with our own opinion. I will likely try it again for breakfast (served only till 11am) and also BBQ. read more

Delicious!! We are on the road to Galveston and drove thru for some chopped beef sandwiches potato salad and beans. Fast and so tasty. I'm a food snob and the potato salad was seasoned very well. Just like I like it. So tasty!! read more

Not sure how I have missed this place all these years...Being thats it kinda on the outskirts of Down Town Bastrop....Open at 5am Im sure they get a lot of highway traffic. There is a $15 minimum for Credit card orders...So having to order an extra taco wasnt a problem..Service was prompt and friendly...We went with the Marty, Bacon, Egg and Cheese 2X and a Brisket, Egg and Cheese...The salsa on the side was a nice touch, and very good...Tacos were pipping hot and the eggs has a great fried, griddle taste. This is on our map of place to stop when headed to Bastrop...Lunch will be our next adventure. read more
