    Sausage and Beef plate with collard greens and potato salad. So good!
    Joseph F.

    Randomly found this place while driving around on our honeymoon. Passed it twice and each time the parking lot was jumpin so we decided to stop in for dinner. Let me tell you, it was worth it! Walk in and its immediately obvious this is a local joint that only worries about the food and not the ambiance. Which is perfect: spend less time ensuring your tables match and more time focused on your bar-b-q. Service was friendly without being obnoxious, you order at the counter and they bring you the meal. We decided to get two 2 meat plates so we could try all four meats (math is fun!). The plates come with two sides, so we got the classics: mac n cheese, potato salad, black eyed peas and okra gumbo. Everything was fantastic. Juicy brisket, fall off the bone ribs and chicken and the sausage was amazing! The sauce is a great compliment to the meat, it doesnt cover up the flavor like some chain restaurants need to do. We got the peach cobbler for dessert and while it was tasty, we both would have preferred it warm instead of cold. Overall this place is worth the drive out and we will be back next time we are in the area.

    Gem of a place that serves delicious home cooking. From catfish to juicy burgers, you can't go wrong. They also serve daily specials and homemade pie.

    Chicken fried steak, green beans and mashed potatoes and gravey.

    This is one of those true "holes in the wall" that is very good They have several different BBQ plates that are very reasonably priced. They come with two sides. I had the ribs. Meat was tender and fell off the bone. Numerous side dishes. I didn't get my usual okra, but had black eyed peas and fried zucchini. Had about seven large ribs that resulted in some take home for later. Wife had a hamburger she really liked. Everything was very tasty!

    Chicken Fried Steak (real steak), Mashed Potatoes and Blackeyed Peas. Absolutely delicious.

    I was recently in the hospital and my nurse, who is from Seguin, was talking to me about BBQ, since I live in the BBQ Capitol of Texas. She told me that if she wanted BBQ, she went to Luling. But, at the same time, she told me about Johnny's BBQ and their awesome pies and catfish. I had to check it out. I had the fried catfish, along with coleslaw and blackeyed peas.The catfish was worth the stop. I got a Coconut Cream Pie, to take home, and it was awesome.Like any place, they have some items, that are better than others, and I was given the heads up. I am headed back down their, to try their chicken fried steak.

    This is the driest old reheated barbecue

All the spots in houston and Schulze's bbq is up there with any of them if not the best! I'm starting to wonder if Texas monthly is even a legit thing. Because this place could easily be number one. I'm surprised I've never heard of them because this is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Some of the best customer service too! I'm so glad I stopped in. This will be my go to every single time when I'm in Seguin, Texas. Food: everything was phenomenal! The brisket was made to perfection absolutely some of the best brisket I've ever had. The jalapeño sausage, I've never had a jalapeño sausage that good! The cheese was bursting out of the seam! The tater salad oh my God! Talk about a blast from the past if you're from Houston Texas, and remember the old Heights camp house BBQ, you will remember they had Camp house potatoes. They tasted exactly the same wow I was so happy to try that because I never thought I'd have a dish like that again in my life. The brisket rice was OK. I probably would get something else. The banana pudding was phenomenal. This is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Easy five star review! The customer service was great. The line moved quickly and everyone was extremely nice. I will go out of my way to come here and get barbecue every single time when I'm at Seguin, Texas. This should be on Texas monthly, this should be on everyone's radar if you love barbecue! Once again, thank y'all for the amazing customer service and amazing food!

The dining room was very clean. Staff very nice. You can tell they are trying to learn the craft of Texas bbq. The staff don't seem to be in communication with each other. I saw some white lady that just looked angry behind the counter I'm assuming is the owner. Now, I did have VERY high expectations for this place because I have been a long time follower of 90 West barbecue since they first began. I know Jesus and Robin moved to this location. With that said I had high hopes the food would have came along with them, which by visual plating, and taste it absolutely did not. I honestly felt them two would have easily been brought this place on the top 50 bbq list and that got me so excited to make the drive out to try it. I did ask for Jesus but they said he was off when we went by. That surprised me they always work! Haha I don't know if he will see this review since he is a manager but Jesus your very talented man with a heart of craft bbq we know your worth, your bbq was killer. I pray someone will give you a partnership to begin your own restaurant location you will do just fine back in San Antonio and we will be right there with you and Robin.

Their brisket is divine and the sides we chose were out of this world. My husband loves their beans. The green beans were unique and I appreciated that they were super flavorful with tomatoes and delicious broth. The star of the show with the sides was the King Ranch Mac N Cheese!!!! I grew up on King Ranch Chicken Casserole as a child. So I was thrilled to have a macaroni with those delicious flavors. For a little history, that particular casserole emerged in the 1950s as a convenient, post-World War II Tex-Mex comfort food. Despite its name, it has no actual ties to Texas's famous King Ranch; instead, it is a creative, canned-soup-based casserole inspired by the Mexican dish chilaquiles. I am ususally underwhelmed by macaroni and cheese but this was the best. The macaroni shape was unusual and the closest I could find online was called "Radiator" because the similarity in shape to a radiator. It held the sauce perfectly though. McKayla helped us cart out our food to the car and was so sweet and helpful. We love Burnt Bean and plan to return!

Get there at opening (or before) and expect to wait in line for more than an hour and half, totally worth it! Currently rated #1 Texas BBQ by the long-revered Texas Monthly top 50 list. And let's be honest, if it's the best BBQ in Texas-- it's really the best BBQ in the world! The MICHELIN Guide website, gave them the Bib Gourmand recognizing them for "restaurants that offer the best value for money." And it's true!Imagine having the best BBQ in the world and still offering prices affordable for families! Well done Burnt Bean, very Texas of y'all! Ok, enough of the accolades-- here's my honest opinion. The service and ambience is family-friendly. But... don't expect to sit all together, we were a group of 8 and sat at tables back to back. I don't often get chicken at a Texas BBQ place, but I heard I should here and it did NOT disappoint! Fantastic with or without sauce! It's Texas... and so places are often judged by their brisket... it was the best I've had! The sausage is good with lots of flavor and not too spicy, but I've had better sausage. The star of the show was the beef back ribs! Fall off the bone tender and absolutely phenomenal flavor! I've never had anything like it! My son... ten years old, prefers chicken nuggets, and doesn't know much about BBQ (yet) took one bite and responded "Oh my goodness!!" While there, get the Street Corn Pudding as a side and don't forget the Banana Pudding for dessert!

I asked the drive-thru employee, Enkenye, what came with the 40-piece meal. Her response was simply, **"I don't know."** I then asked if it came with sides or if it was listed somewhere on the menu that I was missing (it wasn't on the menu). She put me on hold, came back, and told me it included a family-size order of fries and a medium order of fries. Confused, I asked why it came with two orders of fries and whether I could substitute one of them for a different side. Her response through the speaker was, **"You're asking the wrong person."** I honestly didn't know how to respond, so I said, **"Well, you're the drive-thru person, so who should I be asking?"** If the employee taking orders can't answer basic questions about the menu, that's a management and training issue. To make matters worse, the drive-thru wait was around **25 minutes**, which is excessive for fast food. When I finally got to the window, I asked if the meal included pickles because every Bill Miller meal I've ever ordered has come with pickles. She asked, **"Did you order them?"** I said no because I assumed they came with the meal, and she looked at me and said, **"Nooooo, it doesn't come with pickles."** Seriously? A 40-piece family meal and you can't include a few pickles? It wasn't even about the pickles at that point--it was the dismissive attitude throughout the entire interaction. The food itself was fine, but customer service can absolutely ruin the experience. Between the lack of product knowledge, the rude responses, the 25-minute wait, and the unwillingness to provide something as simple as pickles, this visit was incredibly disappointing. I'll gladly drive farther to another location before returning to this one.
