    Brisket (1 lb) and 3 sausage family platter.. amazing
    John M.

    Amazing central Texas BBQ. We had the family platter with brisket and smoked sausage... It came with some Mac n cheese and coleslaw. They even included a gallon of iced tea! All your typical fixins are available by the counter inside - pickles onions sliced white bread, etc. Everything was excellent! The brisket was fatty and moist with the perfect bark... Wimberly is such a magical place and to enjoy some great smoked meats under the trees was a great experience... I'll definitely come back the next time I'm in the area - which will be very soon

    Hey! This place is legit! Tasty Texas BBQ and cute patio outback. It's away from the main drag of Wimberley so definitely more chill. We got the #1 Family Meal with brisket, sausage links, mac & cheese, coleslaw, and a gallon of tea! Everything was delicious and we ended up with leftovers which was great! Great food and atmosphere. Will definitely come back the next time we're in the area!

    I heard about this place on Texas Eats. Since I had a day off work, my wife and I decided to take the hour drive to Wimberly. If you want excellent BBQ in Wimberly go to PJ'S Wimberly BBQ. I had the PJ house special. 1/4 brisket (2 slices), 1 pork rib, I sausage ring and I added 1 ring of the Hatch Green Chile and Gouda cheese sausage, with Mac N' Cheese and Pinto Beans. Wow, everything was great. The brisket was tender and delicious as was the rib. I definitely liked the sausage but LOVED the Hatch Green Chile and Gouda Cheese sausage. The Mac 'N Cheese was very good and the Pinto Beans had a nice taste with a bit of a spicy taste. I highly recommend trying Wimberly BBQ then take a walk around the town.

    This is JP's Wimberley BBQ's Chicken Fried Pork Chop.  I added their loyalty card in the upper left just for scale.

    Overall I like JP's Wimberley BBQ, especially with their expanded Summer operating hours, which makes them open more during the mainstream hours you would expect of a dining establishment you might hope to be expected to be open for dinner if you were planning to be actually having that (which would be beyond the Thursday -Sunday from morning through around 6ish you could count on having most of the menu available). This is the Wimberley location of San Marcos BBQ, which I think is actually a bit better than Hays City (a past Top 50 Texas Monthly BBQ winner), but in terms of Wimberley BBQ - depending on what you like, it would be a tough fight between them and our other great BBQ standout, but it's no contest if you want dinner, since only one of them is open then; and it's JP's Wimberley BBQ. It's no contest if you want to sit down inside, or if you fancy a bit of live entertainment with an adult beverage on a weekend night - it's JP's. Both have great service and truly outstanding people running them, and I don't think you will have a bad meal at either one, and I think it's great we have two wonderful options here. JP's Wimberley BBQ does have a few extra things if you feel like you might have something other than the ordinary BBQ fare - and I can recommend it all. Their smash burger is a pretty decent burger, but one of my favorites here is their Chicken Fried Pork Chop, which is usually pretty darn good, especially with the entree by itself at less than $10, but with a typical Texas sized portion which comes with Toast & white gravy (see picture of a to-go order & which you can compare with their loyalty card for scale). It only makes me wish that they also had a chicken fried steak & some chicken fried chicken to also go with it on the menu, as there are not a whole lot of places where we can get a great one to-go here. A great steak would also be nice, but that's just me wishing for maybe a few things that have been tougher to find since CCC has been lost. Anyway, I have no problem whatsoever recommending JP's and I usually find myself eating there or grabbing a to-go order from there more often than almost any other place in Wimberley, but some of that is because they are convenient for me as I drive up & down River Rd to get from home to town, and with their expanded hours they are now open often enough to make that practical. Give them a try, I am betting you will enjoy it too.

    I recently tried their breakfast service. Tacos were huge (think burritos), filling, and well executed.

Let's start with the good, because it'll be quick. The chips, queso, and salsa bar? Absolute stars. If the rest of the meal had matched that energy, I'd be writing this review with tears of joy instead of emotional damage. Now, the tacos. I ordered a fajita taco since they don't offer asada or anything a la Mexicana. Added cheese, avocado, and a side over‑easy egg because I'm an optimist. The first bite tasted like the meat had been personally offended by me in a past life. I genuinely almost gagged. Not "oh this isn't great" -- I mean my body tried to exit the situation. Then came the bacon, egg, cheese, and potato taco. One bite. ONE. The smoke level was so intense I thought someone had served me a campfire wrapped in a tortilla. I love flavor, but I don't need my breakfast taco to come with a side of PTSD. My friend ordered the crispy taco plate and two carne guisada with cheese. He asked for fresh jalapeños -- they never arrived. The crispy shells weren't homemade, and the beans were so aggressively smoked they tasted like they'd been punished. The carne guisada, though? Fantastic. Truly delicious. The one bright, shining, competent dish in the whole experience. Overall, this meal was a plot twist I did not see coming. I wanted tacos. I got a survival challenge. If you go, stick to the queso and the carne guisada and you might make it out okay....as I was walking out I overheard a customer showing the waitress a rotten and expired orange juice that he was served .....

    Okay, my second review for them: Durango's is still probably the closest thing to REAL Mexican food…read morethat I've found since moving to Texas. in 2004! I know, I know ... I'm in Texas. Texas + Mexican food = TexMex. It's just not my thing. I'm a California girl and grew up with real Mexican food. Plus numerous trips to Mexico (from border towns to Mexico City to Cancun). Nowhere in Mexico (or California) have I had chili poured over everything in place of enchilada sauce or mole. And Durango's is the only place I've had an enchilada (meat, cheese or otherwise) that is NOT covered in chili. Service has always been good, even when I've been a bit choosy. Which I know I can be. Chips are the best in town, hands down. Prices are very reasonable. AND, they have a drive thru window that is very convenient. But, call your order in first. It's always been ready when I get there to pick up. There is also a discount for cash. If I have one negative, it's for the temperatures on the beans and rice. Definitely need to be warmer. I prefer mine very hot, so this is the only place they loose a star.
