Their brisket is one of the top 5 I have ever eaten. And I have tried hundreds of briskets. Right on the main road and worth stopping.

I was sad to hear that bodacious bbq in Granbury had been shut down quite a while ago, but my dad suggested Hammond's. The meat is phenomenal. for the BBQ Staff super friendly and portions huge. The sides were 4 out of 5 and I really wanted to love the peach cobbler and even asked for ice cream on top only to have it be delivered cold and mostly crust with 3 peaches. Those 3 peaches Amazing as they don't skimp on the love and butter but the ready was just crust :-/ Will certainly come again and they are nice and give you to go cups for their giant beverages read more

So good! Best ribs I've had outside of Memphis. Truly amazing. Also appreciate the small "child's" plate options. I usually have to split meals with my husband because we can't eat that much but these portions are perfect and we each get what we want. Brisket was great too but the ribs are bomb. read more

Hammond's BBQ - Child's plate - Barbeque Near Me - Glen Rose, Texas

We stopped at Hammonds on a recent trip through Glen Rose. We had been here before, but it had been awhile. Everything was good, and the jalapeño cheddar sausage was very good. I got a three meat plate with ribs, sausage and turkey. My onion rings on the side were also really good. The ribs are good, but not top level. The turkey was just turkey. But that sausage was really. really good. My wife got a bowl of beans with chopped beef on it and loved her meal. This isn't legendary, but it is tasty, convenient and family friendly. The service is personable and the vibe is open and friendly. read more

We went to Dinosaur Valley yesterday and stopped here to eat on the way home. It's not a fancy place but absolutely worth it. I think those people giving them a poor rating are just nuts. They are less expensive than many BBQ places. Their portion sizes are above average for what you'd get in a typical restaurant. If you don't have leftovers, you are a pig, period. Everyone greeted us and subsequent diners as we entered. The lady/maybe owner asked if it was our first time then took us to the counter to explain the menus. She was just charming. The girl behind the counter was just lovely as well. My granddaughter got a pork sandwich and her boyfriend got a chopped beef sandwich. They both got multiple sides. I got the tacos and beans which were delicious. I immediately loved this place. I think they should open a restaurant down the street from my house so I could eat here regularly. read more

All I can say is yummy! The place is very nicely decorated and very spacious. Service is fantastic! I had the bbq ribs and they were really good . Also had the coconut pie very good . Great place a must try! read more

The food I got was super good. I liked the brisket a lot better than the pulled pork and the elote style corn didn't taste like anything so that definitely was a bummer. The fries were super good though. We also had two appetizers which was the corn balls (I forget the name and then we also got another appetizer which was the dillo I think was its name and both of those were super good. The service was good as we had a larger party of about 8people I think. We got our food pretty quickly as well. The restaurant was cute and had a bunch of cool stuff on the walls to check out. read more

Stop by here randomly as we are nearby Fossil rim. It's a casual barbecue restaurant where you sit down at a picnic table inside and order what you want. Service was prompt and friendly. Food itself was just okay. Don't expect fancy barbecue with a deep smoke ring. read more

I think I've found my NEW top bbq spot on the planet. I have been salivating over this place since the night I dined here Talk about melt in your mouth brisket. Every single bite was better than the last. The onion rings were APLENTY , the price of each plate was by far the best value in bbq I have ever came across ! My wife got the spicy cheddar sausage and she said 10/10! The service was on point. Our server was kind , fast, and knowledgeable . The child bbq plate was ENORMOUS. I'm such a stickler for potato salad and Cole slaw. And guess what. Both were AMAZING !!!!! Can't stop saying positive things about this place . To top it off , the pecan pie was sooooooo gooooooood. Beer was cold food was great. The atmosphere was as expected. Good ol texas bbq scenery on the inside. 10 stars . I would make a two hour trip just to have this heavenly brisket again ! read more

We stopped here on our drive down to Central Texas. This was our second visit together; I had been here solo a few times in previous years. Our last visit was likely in 2019 - we left happy this time (10/18/22) but not as wowed as before. Granted, we have visited some stellar BBQ places in the DFW metroplex lately. However, we don't eat meat that much , so when we have barbecue, it is usually more of a memorable experience. The service was friendly and greeted us shortly after we sat ourselves. We started with the stuffed peppers, which are jalapeños stuffed with cheddar cheese. We each ordered combo plates, which come out with two sides. My brisket was very tender but not very smoky. It didn't have that depth of flavor that you get from a good amount of smoke. I read another review that said the brisket almost tastes baked or roasted, which I could see. It needed more sauce than brisket should require. My turkey was really good. It, too, was very tender. The side salad was extremely fresh, and the okra wasn't bad. My cavewoman said her rib and turkey were decent. All in all, that is about how we each summed up our meals. The portions, overall, were generous and seemed in keeping with the prices. For small town BBQ, this is a good option. read more

Good food, good prices and good, fast service. Coming from out of town, we were glad to find this good Texas BBQ. My wife likes the brisket lean and they accommodated her. I went for the tasty ribs and was not disappointed. Wooden benches and tables. Can be a little hard on folks that require softer sitting. To me, no problem. Sorry, dug right in and did not take any pictures. It was delicious! read more

Food is amazing. I'm not a bbq fan but dining here at Hammond's surely made me a fan. Service was excellent. Great service, Brea! Robbie was also helpful with our to go order preparation. Amazing!

Hammond's BBQ - Mixed Dinner Plate with brisket, pork ribs, potato salad, cole slaw and toast. - Barbeque Near Me - Glen Rose, Texas

I had high hopes for Hammonds after seeing the reviews. The brisket was more like a roast from an oven with little flavor or seasoning. The ribs were pretty good, they did have great flavor and had been seasoned! The bbq sauce was ok, had more of a vinegar taste to it which personally I'm not a fan of. read more

Better than some of Austin's best BBQ in my opinion! I tried their lean brisket and oh my, was it juicccy. It was thick and moist. I will definitely make the drive again just to taste Hammond's BBQ! read more

I always try to stop at Hammond's when I am in Glen Rose. The BBQ is excellent, and the service is always fast and courteous. Price is very reasonable for well-cooked BBQ. Sides are good as well. Be sure to check the hours (and days) of operation when you plan to visit. read more

Very generous portions and excellent flavor. Great place for BBQ with nice atmosphere.

When I was relatively new to Texas and Dallas, we used to come to Hammonds because there were few if any good BBQ places in Dallas 15-20 years ago. That was before Lockharts, Pecan Lodge, Terry Blacks, Slow Bone, Lakewood Smokehouse and numerous others. Way back then, Hammonds was at the top of the BBQ list IMO. When we returned to Hammonds in October 2020, we had not been there in at least 15 years. I don't know if they changed or if I understand BBQ better now, but it was not as I remembered it. On the positive side, the sliced brisket was incredibly tender. The portion was quite large. Prices are very reasonable. The Cole slaw was really good. Onion rings may be from a box but they were good. The ambience was pure Texas. But 15 years ago they had sawdust on the floor, no longer. On the negative side, the wife's chopped brisket was more like minced. It was chopped so fine that it was almost baby food. My main criticism is that the meat had no smoke flavor whatsoever. None. I commented to the wife when we drove up that was no smoke in the air. The meat tasted as if it had been baked but it did not taste smoked. And that is what BBQ is about, and that is why I give it 3 stars. read more

I started eating at Hammond's back when A. J. and Linda ran the place. Experiences have varied through the years but I've never found it not, at the very least, satisfying. Until yesterday. Picked up a to-go order. Two pounds of slice brisket and a pound of chopped. The chopped was good. The sliced is the fattiest sliced brisket I have ever encountered. Most of these slices have a mostly unrendered fat cap of at least 1/2 inch on them, some as much as almost a full inch. I laid all the slices out on a cutting board and my best eyeball guess would be the meat to fat ratio is about 65:35. I'm going to assume this was a one off occurrence. Either the brisket didn't get trimmed well or didn't cook as expected. I've smoked enough briskets to know that each one has a mind of its own when it is cooking. Nevertheless, I'm sad to say it was a most disappointing box of sliced brisket. At least for me, my dog isn't voicing any complaints about the bowl full he got. read more

We were at the nearby dinosaur world and creation museum and needed to grab some lunch. Couldn't have a found a more perfect spot. We got sausage and ribs. Man, the ribs were so tender and with a light tug came right off the bone. They had the smoke ring and all. I really liked the potato salad. The drinks are HUGE so keep that in mind if you're eating in the car. Next time we're in town to checkout the attractions, we'll stop by for some more BBQ for sure! read more

Amazing bbq here!! Im in town visiting my grandma and she suggested i tried this place and im so glad she did! I got the chopped brisket sandwich and the chopped brisket loaded baked potato and it was *incredible* Sandwich came with extra sauce and pickles + onions and it was perfect. Delicious beefy bites! We also got an order of fries which went perfectly with the sandwich and was soooooo crispy! The loaded baked potato was crazy delicious! Went perfectly with some ranch, which was also creamy and yummy! They also baked the potato in honey butter? So delicious inside and out! So yummy! read more

Hammond's BBQ - Brisket fried okra, potatoe salad - Barbeque Near Me - Glen Rose, Texas

My favorite BBQ. Have enjoyed it for years. Service is always friendly. It's a little pricey but we'll worth it.

This is a cool place to stop by and grab some BBQ. We were on the way back from fossil rim and saw this place and thought we'd give it a try. The interior is full of licence plates from almost every state and has a casual vibe. We both ordered a brisket sandwich as it was on a daily special and it was sooo good. The brisket was so tender and melted in your mouth and the bbq sauce and brioche bun were sweet and just went so well together. I'm glad we stopped by and will stop again when passing through next time read more

Hammond's BBQ - Hubby waiting for his brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Glen Rose, Texas

We had takeout-absolutely delicious and the staff was so kind. Okra, brisket, sausage, turkey 10/10!

We loved it! Came here to celebrate my hubby's bday. First time customers and great first impression! I found absolutely nothing wrong with my experience. We were welcomed with Southern hospitality a friendly smile, attended to quickly, and appreciation for our business! It was a nice change from more expensive restaurants with pretentious attitudes and prices to match. This is the only bbq restaurant I've eaten where it is not cafeteria style and I really enjoy and prefer it this way. I wish other bbq restaurants did the same. My ribs were fall off the bone succulent, plenty of meat, nice bark, and paired well with the bbq sauce although delicious alone as well. The hot links had a nice kick although I can tolerate even more heat. My green beans with bacon and pinto beans both were well seasoned and very plentiful! 1 side is double the size compared to competitors who typically serve their sides in a small styrofoam cups. So their side portions alone were impressive. My hubby enjoyed his tender juicy brisket and sausage which like mine has a crisp snap on the casing. The onion rings were on point. The batter was nice and crispy with sweet thick onions inside, addictive. Hubby ordered a slice of Pecan Pie which you have the option to have it served warm as we did it was decadent! Definitely ask for it to be warmed! I forgot to take a pic bc he devoured it without hesitation. The pie crust was flaky and held up well to the filling. No soggy bottoms here! We had leftovers and our waitress was more than happy to spend a little time telling us about the owner and the business when we mentioned it was our 1st time there. She was very open and charming! We will definitely return and it is now my #1 BBQ place to frequent! Made my hubby's birthday a happy one (then headed over to the Dinosaur Valley State Park!) read more

Great bbq since ownership has changed. Now enjoy a cold beer also. Cold beer and barbecue just go together.

We were in town for Fossil Rim, the wildlife preserve. After our tour our kids were quite hungry. We remembered passing a BBQ place on the way in so we decided to stop for lunch. Parking was pretty nuts, people parked in very strange areas, we were able to find a spot but we also went at 11am, I am not sure you would find parking easily around noon as it seems quite popular at 11. My family of four ordered a kids plate ans one two meat place. We got the kids frys as the side and my husband and I had the fried okra and green beans. This was enough food for all of us but if you have older kids or big eaters you might need more but I think the portions size were very nice. We tried the brisket and turkey, the turkey was all of our favorites and the BBQ sauce was incredibly tasty. I'd come back on future trips to Glenn Rose. read more

Few can master Texas BBQ; Hammond's has achieved that high status and moved past it! And for the money, it is by far the best value too! My parents love this place, and I share their appreciation as well. BBQ recipes and techniques that are still around after 55 years and have survived a literal fire speak volumes about the quality of the Hammond's brand. Hammond's brisket and sausage are the best picks, but everything they serve is good, and their fried okra is heavenly. If visiting, ask for the kid's plate; trust me, it's plenty of food. And ask for extra bbq sauce. It rocks! Plus, it's a must to save room for their famous Blackberry Cobbler. The bowl is full of warm, delicious fruity goodness topped with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, great for one person, but enough to share! Very pleased with my recent visit and looking forward to my next! read more

Stopped by for some BBQ on a Saturday night. I had the Sliced Beef Dinner Plate with Fried Okra and Pinto Beans (See my photos). Large portions of everything! The sides are enough to share with a second person and it had to be at least a 1/2 pound of meat. Everything tasted great. Service was very attentive. I recommend stopping by here for some good BBQ! read more
