    We enjoyed the sliced brisket, turkey breast, and pulled pork today at the 11 Below Brewery. Good food, including sides, paired well with the craft beer.

    Hidden gem. Burnt ends were fantastic and best banana pudding I've ever had. Would highly recommend

    I am a brisket girl and Heffernan has the BEST. Their service is great, too. Nothing but admiration for this business.

The food is incredible, and you can taste the love in every bite. Their coleslaw deserves its own special mention. It is not the heavy, creamy kind. Instead, it has a refreshing hint of vinegar and real personality that makes it wonderfully delicious. We also had the pleasure of meeting the manager, Sean, who was incredibly kind and took the time to answer all of our questions. In the main dining area, there is also a young man who is very attentive and exceptionally polite. The service here truly stands out. Between the friendly staff, the warm atmosphere, and the food that tastes like it was cooked with heart, this restaurant is a must‑visit. Highly recommend.

They were so disorganized. People running around like it was their first day on the job. Everyone else waiting was also pissed off. The service here has gone way done. Last time for me. I messaged the owner because it was sooo bad. He responded but didnt bother to get the facts right. Hey Ronnie-look at your cameras. His response: "I just heard you placed your order and waiting in line. You don't wait in line when you order online. You come to the side door. Good, glad we lost you, we don't need anymore assholes in our line."

Now for the not so great- went to PCs to see some live music and have dinner with friends. I ordered the 2 meat plate with turkey, ribs, potato salad and green beans. The first plate I was brought was cold, so had it remade. They turkey was okay but a bit salty, the ribs were rubbery and definitely not fall off the bone tender. I did not finish either item. The potato salad was not fresh made and tasted like / had the texture of prepackaged potato salad. The green beans were canned as well. Another person ordered the burger and it was not freshly made, but likely a frozen patty. Someone else had a side of Mac and cheese and it had no flavor. Go for the drinks and music, but given the wide range of disappointment in the food, eat before you go.

Per our server's recommendation, we tried the skillet brisket queso and that did not disappoint! It was really good - I just wish there were jalapeños to really give it a nice kick, but we enjoyed it. I ordered the brisket plate with macaroni & cheese and potato salad; got it with all the fixings: pickles, onions, and pickled jalapeños. The brisket is more fatty than what I've had before but I didn't hate it - I wish it had a bit more flavor. The star was their homemade BBQ sauce - absolutely delicious! The potato salad also was a tiny bit bland but I loved the onions and relish in it. Macaroni and cheese was alright! I had also ordered a coke zero and that came in a giant red cup which I appreciated. Our server slowly stopped checking on us after our food came out. It was a while before we could ask for a to-go box, our check, and even refill. That was unfortunate since I did want w refill but our server just never came. Overall, I would go back for sure for another lunch break and try their other menu items because the food was pretty good. They have a ton of stuff!

The guys doing the BBQ today were 2 young men and they did it right. I didn't ask their credentials because it doesn't matter. I like Spring Creek Barbeque! I think their bbq chicken is among the best. Yup, I'm saying it and I don't give a damn who says different. My wife and I decided to eat at Spring Creek on 290 because she had a teacher appreciation coupon. I had the 3 meat combination with Lean Brisket, dark meat chicken, and St. Louis style ribs. My sides were beans and green beans. My wife had a baked potato fully loaded no meat. Today the ribs were really good. They were firm yet tender, didn't push back on the bite through but nothing stuck on the bone. The chicken was good, but it's been better. The brisket was lean and pretty good. Honestly usually get marbled brisket because I like the fatty pieces. My wife's baked potato was great, the cheese was fresh and the sour cream kicking! Spring Creek is reasonably priced and hits the BBQ sweet spot for me. I like it better than other chain bbq restaurants, because I like eating on a plate.

Had a horrid experience with one of the managers as we asked questions and they seemed rather annoyed I was asking specifics about the fares being left, others that were not available, a filthy flat top, aside unclean surfaces, and then they walked off. We then decided to leave and had wings instead. That is about all I can say about this place as I usually love Spring Creek, but not having the chance to dine, I cannot opine (heh...rhymes) on their fares here. Based on this encounter alone...rock solid 1 star.

    So I recently moved to the area and was surprised that there was such an infamous restaurant right…read morearound the corner. After doing my research and seeing food bloggers post online about this place, I decided to try it! We went on a Saturday afternoon at 2 pm - packed! There were no tables available inside and there were people inside and outside waiting for their orders. That's something to be ready for if you come on a Saturday. Our order didn't actually take that long. Or maybe it took a little while and we didn't mind waiting. Either way, it wasn't that bad! Luckily it's located in a shopping area so there's always parking. My main gripe is that they close at 7pm. I'm sure there's a good reason for that but I've wanted to try it multiple times before but they've been closed! I ended up going with the infamous brisket and fried rice. The brisket was super tender - I was able to pull it apart with my fork. I typically shy away from brisket because usually it's tough. But this was delicious - tender and had a nice smoky flavor. Not overwhelming or too salty. The rice had a great flavor too. There were chunks of meat in that as well and the rice had a nice smoky flavor. Not too salty or greasy. It also came with some accoutrements - pickled onions, fresh pickled cucumbers, jalapeños, bbq sauce and bread. The cucumbers and onions stole the show - very fresh and refreshing. We were surprised at the pickled onions - they were soo good! Overall - worth the hype! I'll definitely be back to try ribs, chicken or pulled pork sandwich. I heard everything is good here!!

They did not disappoint!…read more Ordered: Brisket and steamed rice 5/5 Brisket with fried rice 5/5 House made sausage 5/5 Even the pickled onions and jalapeños were 5/5, done viet style. I'm viet and imo that's the best way to pickle anything. Restaurant clean, service friendly and very fast. You can tell they are a neighborhood favorite, so many people came in after us to pick up and dine in! Only thing to "improve" is it was a little warm in the restaurant. Not sure if the ac was struggling bc of this Texas heat or what but other than that, food was excellent and we definitely will be back. Highly recommend!

But because it was on the solar eclipse day, I had to rush home before the traffic piled up on the freeway. The staff was friendly and the food smelled good. I was on a vegan diet at that time. I didn't try any food. Yeah. I completely missed out.

    I came here for a UYE event & it wasn't as good as I expected. I wasn't going to write a review…read morebecause I didn't come for the 2nd time but since I won't ever go back I figured they'll need some constructive feedback to better themselves. This BBQ truck stand is located by Krogers and a lot of other stores so there's plenty of parking spots. They have some outside seating for you to enjoy your food as well. I decided to order their burger special, that comes with a brisket inside. I also got their Mac and cheese. So I thought my burger was below par. It tasted frozen and it was dry. They only gave me a half slice of brisket and that was dry as well. The only thing that I enjoyed was the sauce & the bacon. Other than that it wasn't worth a 25 dollar burger. It was ridiculous that it didn't even come with a side and you had to order that separately. If I'm making you a 25 dollar burger, I'll make sure that I make my patties in-house & on a brioche bun. The Mac and cheese were meh. It was clumpy & there was an odd color on it as well. It was also smoky which is fine but it had a charcoal taste to it. I honestly didn't even finish it. I was going to order some brisket to go but seeing as how underwhelming my meal was I decided to just skip on that. The owner did come out to greet us along with his flask which I thought was unprofessional. I also smelled alcohol breath when he was speaking well. I understand that it's your place and you can do whatever you want but I think there's a time & place to drink. Overall it was not a good experience so unfortunately this is a one and done.
