    Big Johnny
    James T.

    First time here, came based on reviews and man it didn't disappoint I got the big johnny. Brisket, pickles, mustard, bbq sauce, onions and chilies. It's a heart sammich and so freaking good. Brisket is tender and super flavorful had a mild smokey taste, the bbq sauce was pretty damn amazing. Mildly sweet had a nice tang and savor taste to it. I woulda drank this out the bottle. I got here just before the crowd started rolling in. I can see why they've been around since 1955. I'll be back to check the reat of the menu out.

    Wow! We drove from Arizona today to do some shopping and check this place out! Absolutely worth the drive! Lola was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! We got the Big Johnny and a regular Johnny. Barely able to finish the Big Johnny it was so much meat! The bread was toasted and so tasty! We absolutely will be back!

    Finished the plate

    Food was awesome! Great home cooking flavors. The coleslaw was a unique wonderful treat. Very friendly.

    Small with several tables, friendly staff

    We have been wanting to stop here for a while. They are located in a small plaza on Doniphan. Stopped on a Saturday for lunch. The staff was very friendly. They obviously have regulars that eat here as the staff knew several clients that walked in. Service was fast which is always great at a barbecue place. Ribs are served only on Saturday. We each had the 1/2 slab of rib plate with two sides. We ordered the chili beans and cole slaw. The ribs were mouth watering, fall off the bone tasty, and so did not need any barbecue sauce. My husband ate his with barbecue sauce and said the sauce was not sweet and was a great brisket sauce and not a Kansas City sauce. The chili beans were the best I've eaten. They were cooked with ground meat and not spicy. The cole slaw was tasty and had chunks of pineapple. Normally, we do not like pineapple in our cole slaw, but didn't realize it until 1/2 the slaw was eaten. It did not make the slaw sweet. Other than my husband's ribs, these are the best I've eaten in El Paso. We'll be back. Can't wait to go back!

    A hidden Gem in the Upper Valley. Simply the best! The Johnny sandwich is delectable, and the sides are well made. Love this place.

    Hallelujah BBQ is the kind of place that reminds you why Texas barbecue has the reputation it does…read more The brisket was the clear standout. Thick slices with a beautiful smoke ring, deep flavor, and that perfect balance of tenderness and structure. It was juicy without being greasy, and the bark had just the right bite. The brisket sandwich was equally satisfying. Simple, honest, and generous, with crisp onions and a soft bun that let the meat shine. The ribs had great flavor, but were a bit on the dry side during this visit. Still enjoyable, but the brisket definitely stole the show. Sides were a mix. The green beans were outstanding. Easily some of the best I've had at a barbecue spot. Full of flavor and clearly cooked with care. The beans and cornbread were solid and comforting. The coleslaw, though, didn't quite stand out and was the only item I'd probably skip next time. The space itself adds to the experience. Open, casual, and unpretentious. It feels like a place focused on doing barbecue right rather than trying to be trendy. FYI: You order first & they bring out the food to you. Overall, Hallelujah BBQ is absolutely worth visiting, especially for the brisket and those green beans. I'll definitely be back.

There were crumbs on our table. I also noticed a dog in the booth next to us, I think it belonged to staff. Call me old school but I didn't grow up with animals where I eat so that was interesting. He was a super good doggie though. The service was great, fast, and food was fabulous. I had the $19 Poke Bowl. I ordered before I noticed the price. Yikes! I had that, a water, and their fried oreos (to go), for a total of $26, after tip. Yikes! Not sure I can afford that again unless I do appetizer only.

    Grown Together has grown up into Get Together and it's delicious…read more I basically grew up vegetarian and was pretty much vegan since we don't really have dairy products in Asian food. It's because we practiced Buddhism growing up. Also we were poor and the meat was basically anything that was cheap. In fact, I remember growing up eating chicken thighs and drumsticks and absolutely hating it because of all the gristle and cartilage. So I avoided meat in my youth until I found out about steak and sushi in college. After that, it was my meats of choice. Get Together might have changed my mind. Obviously vegetables, tofu, tempeh, etc can be very flavorful if you cook it well. Asian stirfy and soups have made vegetables delicious, unlike just boiling, roasting, or frying as Western cuisine does. Get Together takes the techniques of Asian style cooking, like marinating fruits and veggies to change the textures and combined it with modern flavors and trends like chipotle and cheese made from nuts and yeast. The crazy thing is that it works sooo well. I actually prefer their "wings" to the real deal, just because the texture is on point and it's just easier to eat than to go through the gristle of a real wing. The cauliflower was amazing (favorite was lemon pepper) and it had sweetness and hints of coconut. After speaking with the Chef, Storm (yes that's his real given name), he shared that the sweetness comes from using cornflakes and the coconut from the coconut oil. He is also very forthcoming and shared how he marinated watermelon overnight to achieve the exact texture of tuna for his award winning sushi roll. I was blown away by his generosity in sharing his techniques and recipes, and I found out he published a cookbook to encourage more people to eat vegetables. They also have amazing cocktails and drinks available and he's thinking of infusing CBD to add more options. I think the drinks are perfect. The chamoy mango was amazing and well themed. Come check them out and support local! Get Together (915) 248-1090 209 E Mills Ave, El Paso, TX 79901

The dishes were very well made, as if the owners were preparing them for themselves. We could tell a lot of care went into preparing them. I ordered Gom Bibim. The dish was visually pleasing and delicious. The flavor of the noodles was light. Often, the noodles in bibim kooksoo are drenched in sauce. These were prepared just right. The bedding of mixed greens were very fresh and paired nicely with the spicy noodles. My daughter ordered Gom Tang. The dish was good. The broth was a bit saltier than the traditional gom tang.
