Mimsy's serves up some impressive barbecue in a fantastic setting. From the moment we walked in,…read morethe staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The venue itself is great, with a nicely decorated space that offers both inside and outside seating, along with a kids' play area--a huge plus for families. Now, on to the food. The brisket was a definite standout. It had a wonderful, rich flavor, and the salt and pepper (SP) bark was spot-on, providing a perfect crust. A nice, prominent smoke ring and a healthy amount of rendered fat made for a tender and juicy bite. The ribs were also solid. They had a great pull from the bone, but I noticed a slightly overpowering "hammy" flavor that detracted a bit from the classic barbecue taste I was hoping for. The house-made birria sausage was a fantastic surprise. It had a delicious mix of pork and beef, complemented by melted cheese and a good kick of chili. The casing had a satisfying snap, which I appreciate. For sides, the Maple Sprouts were exceptional. They were perfectly charred and crispy, with the maple flavor coming through beautifully without being too sweet. The jambalaya was also a strong contender. It was loaded with flavorful sausage bits, and the rice was cooked just right. After all that, we were happy to see they also offer some nice desserts to round out the meal. Overall, I had a great meal at Mimsy's. The brisket and unique house sausage are must-tries, and the Maple Sprouts are a delicious side that stands on its own. While the ribs were a little off for my personal taste, the rest of the meal and the friendly atmosphere more than made up for it. I'd definitely go back for more.

Hubba hubba.....this is one of my faves from "the list" and this time did not disappoint either…read more Please note, they only offer brisket on Saturday. I really enjoy how Mimsy's thinks outside the box when it comes to their dishes. Thoughtful and creative sandwiches and what I like to call all in one items like loaded mac n cheese, loaded spuds, and the wedge salad that are less expensive than buying the meat and sides but filling none the less. This time I ordered the loaded mac n cheese with the smoked turkey. I swear, they have the creamiest and most delicious mac. I am almost always underwhelmed by mac n cheese. These are exceptional. I also ordered the jerk chicken leg quarter and it was so clean and delicious. I would definitely order that again. Hubby order the Smoked turkey sandwich with avocado, bacon and aioli and it looked magnificent and yes, he did offer me a bite. I had enough of my own food to eat. I will be back, Mimsy's!!!

Sorry, Dad--you're still Number 1! Ambiance is small town Texas--the employees wear oversized t shirts and look like last night was a tough one, busted window taped up, encouragement to the Local Sports Team painted on the unbroken front windows.

The fact that I didn't smell ANY BBQ pit smoke when we got out of the car was a red flag. We walked in and I didn't smell any food at all. Not typical of a BBQ joint. Once we took a bite of our food it was obvious it wasn't smoked in house. It tasted and looked like packaged meat. We have eaten BBQ all over the state, and I hate to say it, but this was by far the poorest BBQ we have ever had.

Here for work from California and was looking for some Texas BBQ m. I ordered the 2-meat plate ($20) with ribs and brisket and both were delicious!! This came with 2 sides and 2 slices of white bread. They serve the sauce on the side, which I prefer as I like to taste more of the meat than the sauce in my bbq. The receptionist at the local hotel in which I was staying (Holiday Inn Express) recommended the place despite not having personally eaten there before because she saw that it had good reviews and had been in business for quite some time.

Inside is where things get confusing. The place does not know what it wants to be. The décor is a wild mix of Mexican, Americana, and random thrift store energy. There is a pig with glasses reading a book, Posada cutouts, tie dyed rainbow tablecloths, cowboy chairs, metal chairs, and vibes that do not agree with each other. The food is good, not great. This could be a go to spot, but it desperately needs an interior decorator or at least a single, unified idea. Right now it feels like several restaurants had a meeting and none of them left.
