I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich and the pork was very soft, what I appreciate is that it isn't drowned in BBQ sauce. So you get to sauce it to your liking. They were very kind when we mentioned it was our first time and gave us a few suggestions. If you want a calm nice lunch date. Come on a Sunday, it's calm and relaxing. You get to watch some western tv and listen to some good ol' music! I'll definitely come back again and try something new

The service was excellent, very attentive and offering recommendations when asked. The fried chicken was very flavorful and crispy. The mushroom and Swiss cheese burger was good but very small, like a Whataburger junior size. I expected a little bigger for $15. The fries were seasoned very well. They had alcohol drinks for sale, I recommend the beers. They were very nice in offering samples of three different flavors of margaritas and daiquiri but I could not taste the liquor; it was too sweet.

This was my third visit to this BBQ joint we discovered earlier in 2025. I've eaten their brisket…read morepreviously and it is outstanding. It's the best I've eaten here in the RGV and coming in a close second to City Market in Luling, TX. It's that good! This visit I decided to try their Three Brisket Combo meal. It comes with three brisket tacos (corn or flour tortillas) loaded with brisket, a couple grilled jalapeño slices, grilled onions and some cilantro. They didn't need salsa but a squeeze of lime might've been helpful. The side I chose was their house made coleslaw which was pretty tasty. I ordered their green beans with onion and bacon but a few minutes after ordering a fellow came out to tell me they were out of the beans so I settled for the slaw. I also ordered an order of their house cut, tallow fried french fries. Man, were they GOOD! As in THE BEST FRIES I'VE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE GOOD!!! They are worth the visit all by themselves. The combo meal comes with a bottomless drink as well. The wife and I split the Combo meal, added the fries and a small side of potato salad that she wanted. We each ate one taco and about half of the sides. So we had a leftover taco, some fries and half our sides for the next day. All for like $21. The combo meal is $13.99 which is a pretty good deal in itself. The fries were like $6 and well worth the price. We will definitely be back. I would also highly recommend their 50/50 Rice and Beans topped with Brisket Bowl. That provided two meals for me when I ordered it previously. You can't go wrong at this little joint.

There were regular customers sharing laughs & conversations. Our server was friendly & provided excellent service to everyone in there. Hubby ordered the T-bone & unfortunately it was not good. It almost seemed like it was boiled prior to being grilled it was overcooked on one side of the bone & very chewy to eat. I had the chicken fried chicken (daily special) after our server recommended it. It was hot & delicious. The fries on both our plates left much to be desired the we're limp & chewy. Did we complain to our server? No, we ate what we wanted & enjoyed the atmosphere. Will we be back? Probably not, but if we do we will definitely try other things. The couple (regulars) at the next table ordered the beef panchos & they looked & smelled amazing. They said it was their favorite & always ordered them so maybe next time we'll try them.
