The tacos was on point, I love the friendly service, I even love the location. Kinda a hidden gym across from a laundromat! Passed thru here on my way to the cabins. Definitely looking forward to coming back. Jeff Houston, TX

The Wimbo sandwich for the win! BBQ and Sausage and sauce. It's ginormous.

I have got to say that this is my favorite incarnation of Kelly's BBQ. The owner/team have been in various locals/facilities/versions over the years and his mastery of the art of BBQ has reached a phenomenal height. I have to say that he/they have gotten to the excellent category. Not only that but what I love is the enthusiasm & customer focus of the crew when they serve you. That's a sign of a well engaged and well led team. Well done to all the folks in that food truck dishing out wonderful food. I have been there several times and I am unashamed in saying I'm addicted to the Wimbo. Long ago I switched my BBQ sampling technique. I now go with whatever bbq mixed sandwich and I'm able to sample everything a place has without going into a food coma. The Wimbo is a GINORMOUS mix of brisket and sausage with their sauce. What else can I want? Or better, what else can I consume?? It is a lot of food and I've already raved at how good it is. Pro-Tip: The parking gets wonky as everyone tries to dive into the first spot. The way the horseshoe lot is designed is that you first have to drive thru the crowds waiting for food, so just be careful and weave thru them. Plenty of parking beyond the food!

Sausage

My friends have been talking about Kelly's for a few weeks so we finally checked it out Saturday. We placed it ahead of time (phone) knowing it was a holiday weekend. Everything was really good. Brisket was my personal fave even though it was very seasoned and almost too salty for my fiance. The sprouts and andouille sausage were also tasty as was the turkey and ribs. Nothing I didn't really enjoy which is unusual. We'll definitely be back!

This is a food truck. We went one hour before it closed. Like any other barbecue place, they run out of food. I wasn't as hungry and ordered only two sides, but my friends ordered the different meats available. I am not sure if my friends are picky, or if they were just tired and grumpy, but they didn't really think the food was outstanding. They feel like the meat could have been from a grocery store barbecue place. They did like the barbecue sauce. I had the brussels sprouts with bacon. The side items were a good size for a personal size order. The brussels sprouts was delicious. The Potato salad was OK. Maybe I just don't like the smoky flavor. I know there was a mishap with our order, but it got cleared up pretty quick. The staff was friendly. They sell bottled drinks. They have parking available and a little sitting area in case you want to eat there.

Great BBQ, loved the sloppy sow with the apple pecan slaw and chared peach sauce. The owner and staff are very nice as well.

Pulled pork (outstanding!) and turkey
Ben C.

Definitely legit Texas bbq! I've been to several of the top bbq places in Texas so I had to try this place as I saw it was on a top 50 in Texas website. It definitely did not disappoint! The pulled pork was possibly the best I have ever had. The turkey and brisket were great, but I've had better at other top bbq places. They were out of ribs when I went so I didn't get to try those. The potato salad was the best side but all sides were good. The bottom line is everything here is amazing and a MUST TRY if you are in the area.

Gorgeous pork belly on Fridays and Saturdays.

Great design, cool artwork, fun outdoor space but disappointing food!…read more Living in a very small town has its challenges especially when it comes to entertainment & food. I was hoping Neon Armadillo would be a fun spot to listen to music & enjoy a casual meal. Unfortunately, the food was extremely disappointing! Small portions and high proces doesn't feel like a winning strategy. The buzzer system is a 90's throwback back but not in a goodway. Servers wander around looking for the correct table...no one wants to see their food offered to several other people before it makes its way to your table. Despite sitting indoors, the aggressive flies were so annoying and it just made us want to give up on the mediocre meal. While the bar service was excellent and the design was really cool, the drinks were nothing special and once again the high prices were not justified. And while I was hoping for a quiet date night table inside, It was extremely loud even though it was off peak hours and not crowded. I really hope they will listen to customer feedback and be open to making some adjustments. But I will give Neon another chance when they have live music!

Food was mediocre for the price! Had brisket nachos and 2 stuffed japs.....$60!!…read more Very strange ordering.... You order at the bar and pay beforehand...tip and all! There hasn't been any service yet to tip! No fountain drinks... just $5 a bottle sodas! Order taker rang up juice and ice tea for $9, we asked for fountain drinks. When we asked about our sodas a manager had to get involved. He opened the " ticket" back up ,deducted the 2 drinks , added 2 bottles and charged us another dollar!!! WITHOUT CONSULTING OR ASKING PERMISSION TO DO SO!!! Who the hell does that??? Your gouging us for $60 for f@@kin nachos and japs!!! Just give us our 2 little pissy bottles and move on!! Geeze!!! Kept the doors open letting the A/C out and the flies in! Sorry , won't becoming back!

Our server Keyoni was great, there were some hiccups with missed drinks a couple times, but overall he did great and the best that he could handling our big group. The views were super nice and they even had little seating areas in the turf area, which was perfect for our kids to play around after they ate. The food was amazing here, and I didn't have one bad bite! The queso and the guacamole in the Creek House chip trio was so good. The truffle parmesan fries were nice and crispy, and I loved the garlic aioli on the side. Even our kids' macaroni and cheese was delicious, I was eating the leftovers as a side with my own meal! I picked the smoked and shaved beef sandwich, which had really good flavor and very tender meat. I really liked the cucumber salad on the side because it was different than your typical side of fries or regular salad. It was light and refreshing! I had bites of the redfish and the pork chop also, which are two dishes that I wouldn't normally order myself but they were both amazing bites! It was the juiciest pork chop I had ever eaten before. I paired my meal with a house blackberry soda, which was refreshing. My only regret is that I didn't have room for dessert! Overall it was a great pick for a Friday night family dinner!

Live music in the background set the perfect ambience for the evening. Our server, Matt, made the whole experience -- no AI could have crafted a more perfect waiter. From start to finish, he was spot-on: his wine suggestions, his appetizer recommendation, and the wine pairing he chose for our main course were all perfect. It was disappointing to learn that the next day would be his last with the restaurant -- he was truly an asset. We'll be back next month, though whoever serves us next has a lot to live up to. The food itself was outstanding too -- perfectly seared shrimp and grits with sweet corn and blistered tomatoes, fried green tomatoes topped with crab and avocado, and a hearty steak sandwich with crispy fries. Every dish was as memorable as the service.

Our daughter found this BBQ and wanted to try it out. We drove up & it's not fancy but the smell of delicious BBQ hit us as we got out of the car so we knew it was promising! We pored over the menu and I decided on a sausage sandwich with Mac 'n Cheese. You order at the counter and food is brought out. The rustic interior was clean and we easily found a table. It wasn't too long before we all received our meals. We all agreed this was great BBQ! My sausage had a bit of heat but it was tasty! The Mac 'n Cheese was rich & savory. We loved the BBQ sauce. Our grandson claimed his chicken strips & fries were the best he ever had & this kid does not lie! Everything was so good! As we were leaving I spoke to one of the owners to let him know we really enjoyed the BBQ & asked if I could take a photo. He said Tracy was in the back & I asked if she could also pose for a snapshot. They sweetly obliged me. I told him we were from CA but hubby's parents used to live in Canyon Lake. They gave me some free stickers to share. Great BBQ, friendly staff, and welcoming owners! What's not to love?
