When you walk in, there's a clear line leading up to the register, with menus posted along the way and a large menu board up front, which makes ordering pretty easy. They offer a wide variety of options. The day we went, they had a chopped beef sandwich combo with a drink and a side for around $10, which felt like a solid deal. For my sides, I tried the mashed potatoes, potato salad, creamed corn, and okra. The okra was a standout--fresh, crispy, and really well done. The potato salad was also very good and worth getting. The creamed corn was something I hadn't had before--it included bacon and had a really unique flavor. It might not be for everyone, but I personally couldn't stop eating it, so I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. As for the chopped beef sandwich, it wasn't my favorite. It was a bit dry, even after adding extra barbecue sauce, and I didn't find it especially flavorful. That said, others in my group actually thought it leaned on the sweeter side, so your experience may vary. One thing that really stood out was the service. The staff was super friendly, patient, and happy to answer questions and help with recommendations. Overall, I'd say it's worth stopping by if you're in the area. If you're up for comparing, there's another barbecue spot a few miles down the road--Choke Canyon--that I've also enjoyed, especially for their sandwiches. Makes for a fun side-by-side if you're a BBQ fan.

Wow. A quaint tiny town grocery with a meat market and restaurant attached. On Saturdays, BBQ is…read moreoffered and that's why we made the drive. Ordering first, get your own drink, pick up a desert (included with meal) and sit down in the rustic themed dining area. We got there early so it wasn't crowded....yet. A very reasonable short wait and our food was brought out....a lot of it. The portions are very generous. I got brisket, sausage, pinto beans and potato salad. Wife got a beef rib, sausage and the same sides. To be very frank, two people could split one plate and be very satisfied. A desert is included and the choices were a couple of different cobblers and two or three pudding varieties. The meats: OMG. The beef rib slipped out of the meat when my wife picked up the bone. What remained on the plate could be cut with her plastic spoon. Smokey, SUPER tender and just glorious. The brisket was just as tender--cutting not really needed. It pulls apart. And like the rib, flavor on point...just incredible smokey meat flavor. I went in hungry and could only eat half of my order. The sausage was just as wonderful with a firm snap of the casing without being chewy. We both thought the potato salad was one of the best BBQ joint potato salads we've had. I thought the beans (a bit of BBQ flavor) were a little spicy, wife didn't think so at all. Even the onions and pickles were top notch....they make their own pickles. The drive from Corpus was to go here. We didn't have any other reason to go to Woodsboro or the area. TOTALLY worth the drive and if you're simply in the Refugio/Woodsboro area...this is THE place to go. And as a grocery/meat market...quaint with some of the friendliest people you're likely to meet. The meat deals they offer look great. We WILL DEFINITELY make the drive again. BTW, we've got enough leftovers for another full meal each. (I ate my leftovers on Monday for lunch, reheated it's just as tender and flavorful.) What a treasure Woodsboro has in Tuttles!

I stop and get jerky and dried sausage all the time but I got there ahead of their lunch crowd they…read morealways have. Ordered a sliced brisket sandwich and it was one of the best BBQ sandwiches I have had in a long time. Will de getting more BBQ ever time I get close. Also will be getting some of their BBQ sauce that they use. Getting a gallon of that. Great service, food and just a great small town store.

Purchased a boneless maple ham for our Christmas dinner @ $59.95 for a 4.78 pound piece of meat,…read morewhich amounts to $12.54/per pound. We were hoping the experience would be better. When we went to pick up the ham at the smokehouse in New Braunfels, the people there were unfriendly ... just poor customer service. The ham itself was ok; however, last year we bought one from Walmart at 75% LESS than the smokehouse and it had better flavor and texture. After we purchased from NB Smokehouse, other friends and neighbors commented that they did that once and would NEVER do it again. We didn't know at the time, but, that said, we have now joined that group ... once is enough and never again ... in our opinion, way over priced! Do yourself a favor, for the money there are much better solutions and for the difference in price/quality, we could have completed the whole meal and entertained an army of people.

I placed the call on Friday, 21 Feb 2025. His birthday is 23 Feb. I was assured the email with the gift certificate would be sent on Friday, 21 Feb. Later on that same day I received a call from the same Customer Service rep to confirm my brother's email address. She had it correct, and I was told the email was about to be sent. As of Sunday, 23 Feb, the email had not been sent. I called Customer Service at 2 pm on 23 Feb to inquire. I was told someone would call me on Monday, 24 Feb. I requested to speak to a supervisor. I was told no supervisor was on duty. New Braunfels Smokehouse failed to perform a very simple task; one that was very important to my family. DO NOT CONDUCT ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE NOT RELIABLE.

We came here based on a YouTube short about best places to eat and man they were right. They rates…read moreit a 10/10 and so did we. We were driving from Houston to San Antonio and detoured a little to this spot. I think Texans have the best BBQ meat spots. The place from the outside looks like crap and it has a dirt parking lot but don't let that speak for the food or the line out the door. They get the food out fast too so the line moves fast. It was 3-4 Hispanic people working and they were so kind. We got a suggestion on how much to order for two people as in the weight of the meat and to be honest it was right on point because we were hungry. I don't eat much though so maybe a little less for next time or bring a 3rd person. When I picked up the pork ribs, it literally fell off the bone. The Brisket was soft too and broke when I picked it up with the fork. The taste of both was so perfect not too burnt and just a perfect texture for perfectly cooked. We got the 8 oz. sides of chicharrón macaroni, Maria's charro beans, and egg salad. The macaroni had some crunchy breadcrumbs on top that added to the delicious taste of the mac & cheese. The charro beans were my favorite. It was pinto beans with sausage and pico de gallo mixed and it was just the perfect blend. The egg salad was our least favorite because we think the paprika was a little strong and made it a little salty, but it's basically deviled eggs all mixed together. Great service and also plenty of seating outside if inside is already full. The bathroom is large and clean. The inside has a weird layout but it works. Oh yeah, and we got the Ube bread pudding and it was so warm and delicious. I think it had coconut shavings in it, but it was fine.

I finally checked 2M Smokehouse off my list after hearing all the TV hype and seeing the long…read morelines, and I left thoroughly underwhelmed. Overhyped, Overcomplicated, and Underwhelming. The main event--the brisket--was overly salted. To make matters worse, I specifically asked for extra lean, yet they still served it with fat on the edges that I had to sit there and trim off myself before eating. Then there's the sauce on the tables. It's some sort of bizarre, hyper-vinegary concoction that clearly nobody likes--you can tell by how almost every bottle on the tables sits completely full. It feels like a case of trying way too hard to be "original" instead of just serving a solid, classic BBQ sauce. That theme of overcomplicating things carries over into almost everything on the menu: * The Sides & Fixings: People go to a smokehouse for good meat and classic pairings. Standard raw onions and plain dill pickles belong with Texas BBQ--not onions soaked in brine and peppered with cilantro that completely ruins the onion flavor, and definitely not kosher-style pickles. The mac & cheese is ruined by tossing crushed chicharrones on top, and green pesto pasta? Since when did pesto become a Texas BBQ staple? * The Bread: Serving sweet, Hawaiian-style bread pulled straight out of a plastic bag to build a sandwich feels generic and cliché, not signature. At the end of the day, Texas BBQ is about letting the meat and simple, traditional sides speak for themselves. 2M seems more focused on being trendy and different than executing the fundamentals. I'm glad I finally tried it so I know not to waste my time standing in line again--honestly, I'd rather just go to Bill Miller's.
