    Pork ribs and Waygu brisket.
    Ruth C.

    Just in the town square of Blanco. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. They have an island on the way to the cashier with bottled beer, soda and water. They have happy hour drafts as well. It's a bit pricey, but the food is good! We had 3 large port ribs and about a half pound of waygu brisket. The smoke is so good! 2 choices of BBQ sauce: spicy and sweet.

    We arrived around 12 on a Monday and it looked busy as all the parking spot were full. We had to park a block away on the street. When we walked in, there was no line, multiple tables still free and lot of people were leaving. Guess we missed the lunch rush. We looked at the menu and there was a lot to choose from. The Wagyu brisket was already sold out...wondering if that is that is their prize meat. Guess I'll have to come back and try it one day. The drinks are can soda, tea, water or lemonade (sold out). Each member of our family got the Lunch special: meat sandwich, one side and a drink for $15. My husband got the pork sandwich and the seasoning on the outside was salty, but I'm sure it blends well when you take a bite with lots of meat from the middle. I got the brisket sandwich and it was meaty and tender. The bbq sauces were spicy or original. To me the regular tasted better. The spicy was a bit watery and didnt feel as spicy as I thought it would be. Our sides were the mac & cheese and cream corn. The mac was ok but I could taste the pasta more than the cheese. I felt it either needed to be more saucier or needed more cheese and it would have been perfect. The cream corn was amazing. It had a lot of sauce, pepper and flavor. My youngest got french fries. These were the best french fries I have had in a long time. They were hot, crunchy on the outside with soft potato on the inside. They were fat cut too. The dining area had a lot of signs and Texas decor. On the table was a sign to go dino hunting. There is a dinisaur hidden and if you find it, you get a free dessert. We didnt find it of course. Overall this would be a place I would stop in again, if I am ever in the area.

    I've wanted to try this place but a while as I've heard great things about it. My wife and I went to Blanco for a Valentines Day together in the rain. It was good. The Angus brisket was tender but they're Mac and cheese (not the BBQ Mac and cheese), was just normal. However, I enjoyed the atmosphere and food. Of course the company as well!!

    Pretty disappointed with this place. I was looking forward to trying it. Service was terrible from the start. The lady at the front counter seemed like she would rather be anywhere else than dealing with people. You could tell it was a spot for "locals" and people passing through got the step child treatment. Someone in my party ordered a chopped brisket sandwich and we were told there was a $1 fee for chopping the brisket. I have never heard of anything so outlandish before. Aside from the service, the food wasn't very good either. Make sure to have a fresh drink with you to wash down all of the dry meat they serve. Glad I finally got this place checked off of the Texas BBQ bucket list because it was the first and last time I will be there.

    Humongous portions! Tender and delicious!! Sandwich piled high with sliced meat. Easily 2 servings, maybe 3. Potato equally as huge 2 meals. I enjoyed being able to make my own Arnold Palmer so I got the portions exactly how I wanted.

    Fantastic BBQ in Blanco! Stopped in during our trip and had the best brisket sandwich I've ever eaten -- perfectly smoked with that true pit flavor. The sides were awesome too! My husband had the chopped brisket sandwich, which was just as delicious. Great food, friendly folks, and we'll definitely be back next time we're in Blanco!

    We used Old 300 BBQ for our wedding rehearsal dinner, and we seriously could not have been happier. They have a private event room that's separate from the main restaurant, and it was exactly the vibe we were going for--rustic, warm, and inviting. From the moment we started planning, Shelly (the event coordinator) and the rest of the team were incredible. They made sure every detail was taken care of, and their hospitality and service were top-notch throughout the night. Everything turned out beautiful, and the whole experience felt effortless thanks to them. And the food is absolutely amazing!! We were able to offer our guests four types of meat, four sides, and three dessert options, and everyone raved about how delicious it all was. I highly recommend the banana pudding! It turned out to be a truly spectacular night, and Old 300 BBQ played a huge part in making it perfect. If you're looking for a place to host an event in the area, we highly recommend them. And we'll definitely be back next time we're in town to grab a meal in the restaurant!

    Been working out of this area for over 20 years and this is old reliable when the idea of bbq gets in my head. 300 does not cater to visitors so read the room order up put the phone away and enjoy every bite of superior bbq.

    We visited this nice restaurant in the Summer and I never posted it. Our friends and taken us to a distillery nearby and we went for dinner. It happened to be right after Shelly Duvall passed. They say she used to visit often there as it was her home town. The bbq was unbelievably good!! Not really hard to guess as it has been around forever. I would say if you are in the Blanco area, please do yourself a favor, don't miss supporting this friendly spot and don't miss your opportunity to eat this great food. I would 100% recommend.

    Crazy good food! I can see why it's so popular. The food comes out quick and is fresh!

    After scrolling through dozens and dozens of reviews, it became apparent that this place is doing something right despite just three poor reviews that can be dismissed. I have to admit this place does have a country charm about it, and I was surprised there was only about a dozen tables inside and about the same outside. As soon as you enter, the order counter is right in front of you along with an iced down beer table with soft drinks, water, and beers. They do have a happy hour and daily specials. Once you place the order with a credit card , they'll flip the tip screen over with the tip percentages. Your receipt comes in the form of an email with the breakdown when you use your card. Whether you're dining in or get it to go, the sides come in plastic containers, including the blackberry cobbler which was smashed into a container beyond recognition. Unfortunately, the side of pinto beans were utterly flavorless and lifeless with nothing like brisket or peppers to add some life to them, avoid this item. The coleslaw was the typical mediocre offering I've had numerous times before, not bad, just tired of it. We got the brisket sandwich and it basically comes on a glorified toasted hotdog bun. As I started digging in to a sampling of some of their meats, I found the waygu brisket (which you pay extra for) to be dry with not much of a smoke ring and 20% fat. The brisket on the sandwich was a little more moist and fared better. However, the stars of the show were the St. Louis style ribs which were perfectly smoked, moist and large (no baby backs here). The smoked turkey breast is also something else we'd recommend because it was tender and juicy with just the right amount of smoke. Their sausage did have some decent spiciness and it was meaty, but a little on the dry side. Some things were really good, but not everything was which means no five stars from me, but a good acceptable 3 1/2 stars. If I could do it all over again, I'd purchase a rack of the ribs for $60 and a half pound of turkey which would have me slapping down 5 stars. A few photos included for more insight.

    While on travel over the Thanksgiving holiday, I was looking for somewhere to eat between San Antonio and Kingsland. It was only by happenstance that I was on Goldbelly's website, looking for side dishes to take to the in-laws, that I stumbled upon Old 300 BBQ. Since we were pretty much passing right by, we decided to make this our lunch spot. They have plentiful parking, so that is always a plus. Once inside, you order at the counter. The interior is very rustic, as you would expect a BBQ place to be. As it was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we got their special, the Wagyu Wednesday, which is wagyu for the price of angus (I think it was 1.5 lbs of brisket, figuring we could have leftovers in case nothing was open in Kingsland). The brisket was delicious, so flavorful and tender. I know we had green beans for a side, and am sure the husband got mac n cheese, and they tasted great. I love that they had the sauces and all the condiments readily available so you could get what you needed. Overall a great experience and had it not been for them using Goldbelly to ship their food nationwide, I literally would have never known about this place. Great job!
