Walked in and there were about 2 people other than my table in there it was extremely slow for dinner... red flag. Also didnt look very clean it was pretty dingy. Waitress came by and asked if we needed a minute I said yes and ordered a water with lemon. Looked over the menu and decided on the 3 meat lineman. Got sausage, 2 ribs, and brisket. For 21ish bucks. The Waitress took the order and a few minutes later it came out. Also forgot to add my 2 sides were French fries and hush puppies. Looked at the plate wasnt any thing special by far. Brisket was ok nothing to brag about. The sausage tasted like store bought sausage and the cheap brand eckrich sausage there was absolutely no snap to the sausage. The pork ribs were actually pretty decent. Hush puppies were good and the French fries were horrible. The French fries I have to give it to them they tried they were fresh cut fries but the seasoning and the greasy Ness killed it for me the fries were not crispy at all they needed to keep them in the fryer for a bit longer. All in all for the price it was ok would I go out of my way to come back NO. but in a pinch next to the hotel id probably come back if I was starving. Didn't finish the food and took a ribs home to me the ribs tasted better cold later on that night Oh and almost forgot! got up to take a call and slipped and almost busted my ass on some kind of food that was left on the floor. SMH. Waitress apologized and cleaned up but not very well cause all i did was smear and my boot slid when i walked back in.

After an early morning flight to DFW, we were halfway through the two-hour drive to the north-Texas…read moretown of Wichita Falls when lunch sounded like a good idea. Initially, I said that I was in the mood for a lighter lunch, but when we read some of the many 5-star reviews for Juan and Allie's BBQ that said things like "I will always come here whenever I am within a six hour drive", I changed my mind. So we pulled off the highway and about a half-mile into the small town of Sunset. I realized we were at the spot when the faint smell of wood smoke trickled to my nose from the side of a weatherbeaten building with a "Backyard BBQ" banner tacked to the front. Walking inside, we were greeted by nods from a table of men in work boots and jeans, and then promptly welcomed by Allie herself. She indicated the day's menu on the board and helpfully answered our questions. The inside dining area was comfortable and homey, even if like the outside it had seen better days. Sagging ceiling tiles and duct tape repairs told the story of getting by and focusing on the important things. It is a real family-run operation, with Juan smoking the meats and Allie making the sides, along with waiting tables. On the day we visited at least, it was just the two of them working. Of course I had to order brisket since it was Texas, but the sides presented a more challenging decision. After hearing Allie's description of their cowboy beans, I chose those and the potato salad. She disappeared into the back room, and soon returned with a large metal tray containing slices of brisket and Texas-sized portions of sides. The brisket was beautifully smoked and sliced, and flavor was perfect. The only deduction I have to make was due to it being a little less tender than I would expect from a great brisket. It went down easily despite having said I was not in the mood for a pile of meat, but I did have to make use of my knife a little more than usual. The sides were big on home-cooked flavor. In both, I noticed a big difference from typical southern or big-name barbecue joints in that they were not overly sweet but relied on more earthy seasonings for their taste. They were excellent complements to the beef, and deserve some recognition of their own. After our meal was done, we chatted with Juan outside for a minute, where we learned some of the details mentioned above. It would have been cool to hear more about their story, but they had work to do and we had to get back on the road. So we pulled back onto the highway, having experienced a friendly welcome to Texas and a satisfying first meal in the Lone Star State.
