The owner came right up to the window, talked us through what they had and told us about the day's special. Just good old-fashioned hospitality. We had the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches, and both were delicious. And whoever decided to toast those buns knew what they were doing - that little extra touch made a good sandwich even better. The place is simple, no-frills and gets right down to business: good BBQ, friendly folks and quick service. Exactly the kind of hometown spot you hope to stumble across in a Texas town. We'll sure be back next time we're through Lampasas

You'd have to try real hard to put up a more un-appealing storefront and ordering station than those at Young's BBQ. Crude set-up, lackluster atmosphere with sloppy hand scribbled notes taped or thumbtacked to most of the walls, cheap paper plates, all plastic eating utensils -- just a sad way to see a restaurant being run. A smart investor would build a clean, pleasant, well-run barbecue restaurant in Lampasas... right next door. I had the pork ribs, cold and disappointing. The pinto beans were tasty but room temperature. "Would you like something to drink? Get it yourself!" And half of the drink selections were out of order with handwritten notes stuck to the dispensers. Our order was 2 pork ribs for me and tea to drink; a chopped sandwich and tea for my lunchtime companion... nearly $35 Never, ever again. By the way, the kitchen lady came out wearing a gray tee-shirt with a word across the front -- It said, "BULLS***!" I had to wholeheartedly agree. But that's about all they got right.

This is the best Mexican food I've had since I got out 10 years ago. Great Enchilada sauce and my wife loved the Verde Chicken Enchiladas. The place was awesome. What a great setting next to a creek and tons of statues. I should have taken more pictures. The staff was great. Lemonade and sweet tea was great and the whole lunch was only 45 bucks with the tip. No Churro's but the do have flan. I was so full after lunch but next time I might get that first.

This restaurant was featured on The Day Tripper Season 12 Episode 1. Flash forward to this year and…read moreon my 2026 List was to do an Episode of the Day Tripper. I decided to follow the exact same footsteps as they did in the Episode that Lampasas, TX was featured. I found myself at this charming, beautiful family owned restaurant. What an amazing find. The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor area that reminds you of the outdoor areas of resorts in Mexico. The food is fresh, light, great value and absolutely Delicious! The service from the time I walked in to the time I left was top notch. Everyone was very friendly and I love how when a local came in, they were welcomed as family and if you were new to their establishment, they took the time to greet, welcome you, talk about their menu and gave you suggestions. I had a Mango Winerita (they can only serve beer and wine since they're close to a school and a church) which was super refreshing. The usual chips and salsa came to the table. The salsa had a nice flavor and just the right amount of heat... That your taste buds response to but than the heat goes away. The Queso was liquid gold... Smooth and cheesy... Perfect consistency that coats your chips but doesn't drip all over the place. I was treated to a different salsa that isn't normally brought to the table unless you asked for it. Woww!! Chunky with a nice roundness of smokey flavor, freshness and again the perfect touch of heat. The Jalapeno Fried Chips are beyond words... Thinly sliced, fried golden perfection with a Ranch Dipping Sauce to accommodate them. I couldn't stop eating them! So addictive. Than my main course... The Mexican Steak plate. Thinly sliced perfectly tender cooked meat with onions, peppers and tomatoes tossed all together. Rice and beans rounded off the plate perfectly. Everything was cooked right, everything was fresh and surprising light. The portions are generous and the prices are extremely reasonable. It was a perfect way to end my Day Trip in Lampasas. I look forward to going there again and exploring more of their menu. If you are from that area and have never been... Go support your local businesses! If you are driving through and on your way to Austin, stop there to fill your tummy... You will not be disappointed. Last but not least... It is an all CASH only restaurant. They do have an ATM inside. This restaurant is definitely worth another road trip!

We had a negative experience with Teriyaki Madness this evening…read more This was our second time ordering. The last order was fine. We ordered in advance through the app for pickup. When we got the order home we found that they had shorted us one teriyaki sauce and two desserts. Additionally the chicken katsu was hard as if it had been overcooked or sat in a warmer too long. The salmon was edible but not very enjoyable. The noodles were dry which is why we ordered an extra teriyaki sauce. We ended up throwing most of our food in the garbage. Our attempt to call the store was futile as the number on the website and the same number on the receipt goes to what sounds like Alfa Yarn Company, not to Teriyaki Madness. (512) 967-4826 Our bad for not ordering from Mei Yuan like we usually do.

This restaurant was recommended by a local resident, and what a great recommendation! The menu was extensive, but I settled on the chicken avocado: half an avocado filled with a generous scoop of chicken salad, a generous serving of fruit salad, and a corn muffin. Everything was delicious, but the fruit salad was the surprise star. I am not a fruit person, so I was completely unprepared to be this impressed by a fruit salad. The sauce was light, delicate, and absolutely delicious. I found myself trying to figure out what was in it while I was eating it! It had a lovely meringue-like quality without being heavy or creamy. Naturally, when I got home, I started looking up recipes to see if I could recreate it. I won't be back in Lampasas anytime soon, but when I am, I know exactly where I'll be eating--and I'll definitely be ordering that fruit salad again! The chicken salad was fresh, cool, and perfectly balanced, with a creamy, well-seasoned richness that paired beautifully with the crisp fruit. And the corn muffin had a warm, golden, fine, tender crumb with just the slightest buttery touch of sweetness. A genuinely lovely meal. Sometimes a local recommendation turns out to be a little treasure.
