    What an absolute gem and an AMAZING experience! Walked in not knowing what to expect while doing what we do best, road tripping, and immediately greeted by a great team of women eager to help and answer any questions! Offered samples before placing our order, shared their very own favorites and told us we wouldn't be disappointed...they were 100% accurate on their assumptions!!! We tried the ribs, pulled pork, and chopped brisket and HEAVEN! Every bite was better than the last! The cream corn, I do not like cream corn, DELICIOUS!!! Not your average cream corn! The beans, Lordt help me, a perfect blend of spices in EVERY bite... The warm peach cobbler and the banana pudding were the perfect ending of our taste buds fantastic journey!!! We will be craving this flavor filled, best bbq sauce, bbq until we meet again in a few months! Did I mention the AMAZING staff We will be back again, and again, and again! Lovely meeting you Mr Pearce, your Lovely Wife, and amazing Staff!!! Julie, Nikki, & Jordan, the Cali girls

    put my side of coleslaw on top of my sandwich and it was amazing. The brisket was well seasoned and super tender I loved it. I also tried the Mac and cheese and the macaroni salad that was amazing. The food was well priced and delicious!

    Got here at 5:30pm only to find that the only meat they had was chopped and ribs. While we were ordering the gentlemen taking our order started taking the person behind us and we still needed one more entree for our son. Luckily another member saw us already frustrated and asked if this was all we ordered. This happened while the people behind us jumped In front of us and we had to wait longer. Then we got to the sides and they have none of the sides listed so we had to decide on the spot what to get. Then we get to the drinks and that was a further S**t show. This place is extremely unorganized. We got the burger for our son and it wasn't even cooked so we had to send it back to and cooked more. The best part was sitting down and starting to eat, only to realize that the food was ice cold. If I wanted cold food I would get a tv dinner. The prices are way too proud for the quality of the food or amount you get. Save your money and go to one of the veteran bbq places in Lubbock. This place needs an extreme amount of help and the old man running things needs to not yell at his employees when people are trying to eat. The ambience is ok but nothing to write home about. 1/10 won't come again.

    Worst place ever hope it goes under.

    I wouldn't give it stars, they have horse flies served with there food. And wanna give younger people smaller portions. While the old folks are getting there moneys worth. And the bbq isn't even that good for the price there trying to serve with.

    More samples I love this place!

    I'm not sure how to start this one but here we go with a smh beginning of some of the best BBQ I've ever had period! Not just BBQ but the sides of which I had beans and Mac n cheese. I'm not even a mac n cheese guy but it was over the top with this crust like on a casserole, I was impressed. The beans holy cow! They were thick with juice and not runny with pieces of BBQ in them just like momma made with the ham remember that? Shoot I haven't said a thing about the sticky ribs that's my take on them and I'm saying they would take the prize at anyone's cook off! Tender but not falling off the bone and the sauce wasn't over powering or drippy which I don't like when it does that, something about getting it on me I guess and that being said the flavor was perfect! The chopped beef sandwich was epic as well with the perfect flavor. All in all I will be back! Here's the cool part today tomorrow and Thursday it's no charge they are calling it samples they do have a tip jar and obviously I left a nice one because that was the right thing to do in my opinion, the grand opening is Friday with a menu, I haven't seen the prices but with a brick n mortar, beef prices and labor it can't be free. I'll be back.

    See all

    The brisket was incredible and had the best bark! We went on George Strait Saturday at lunchtime…read more The manager said she had been there 13 years along with another staffer, and neither had seen a line like we experienced on Saturday. The wait was a little crazy and the staff was clearly out of their element with the booming crowd, but at the end of the day, the food spoke for itself! I'm a 9th gen Texan and love my BBQ. This was the sh*t! It was some of the best brisket I've ever had, seriously. Now people will say, "what place has the best BBQ?" My immediate thought is "clearly they've never had BBQ! As there's literally no place on earth with the best BBQ." If you've eaten your fair share then you know that's a trick question. The better question is, "who has the best brisket, or ribs, or nanner puddin, or whatever." Some places are great and others suck, but no one is the best at all of it. They may be above average or even exceptional, but they will still be better at one meat than another. We had brisket, turkey, beef rib, pulled pork, mild sausage and jalepeno, along with some brisket deviled eggs. Dude! If it were Cajun food, you'd have to slap yo mama. Fortunately it's BBQ so we loosen our belt strap and when we can't eat another bite, we grab the biggest spoon we can find and eat some nanner puddin. It was solid. For sides we had potato salad, cole slaw, mac n cheese and collard greens. Personally, my favorite was the mac n cheese as it was creamy and tasted great, but my friends from Oregon were in TX for the first time and while she had never had collard greens, she couldn't get enough of them and literally went back for thirds. As mentioned, our friends were in from Oregon and had never been to TX not ever had TX BBQ. Shack you did us proud!

    What goes on in Olton, Texas? A simple drive through tells you not much. However, this small town…read moreboasts a Texas Monthly Top 50 barbecue spot, so if you are like me and trying to get stamps on the passport, you inevitably have to make the drive. Funnily enough, it is both the northernmost and westernmost spot on the list, so everywhere after this is quite literally downhill from here. We drove in on a Friday and arrived just before 1:30 pm, which is a sin at most barbecue joints. Rejino, however, only had a small line and still a full menu while being pretty busy. They were excited to add a stamp to my book and even gave me a free Rejino sticker to take with me. I love places that go the extra step. One thing I want to note right away is how affordable their barbecue is compared to most places. The Texas Trinity fed both my girlfriend and me and came in around forty dollars, with half pounds of ribs and brisket, a sausage link, and a side. My girlfriend and I ordered their Texas Trinity, two sides, and a dessert. I will share my thoughts on everything below. Brisket: It was well done. There was good flavor throughout and the slices were nicely cut. The balance between the lean and fatty parts was exactly what you would expect and on par with others on the list. Pork Ribs: My girlfriend loves a pork rib and she really enjoyed these. In terms of tenderness and candying, they landed right in the middle. The meat did not fall off the bone, but it was still excellent. The bark was well seasoned. Jalapeño Cheese Sausage: Compared to most joints, their sausages were shorter but thicker. The jalapeños actually had a crunch, which was surprising. I really enjoyed this sausage. Baked Potato Casserole: I thought this was a great side and a solid portion for five dollars. Bacon White Cheddar Mac and Cheese: My girlfriend said this was her favorite style of mac and cheese, extremely creamy. I thought it was good, but I let her eat most of it since she liked it so much. Broccoli Cheddar Cornbread: Unlike most barbecue joints, the cornbread here was free. I really liked the hints of cheese and the broccoli pieces mixed throughout. M&Ms Brownie: I sometimes get dessert at a barbecue joint. When I am with my girlfriend, that percentage jumps to always. Here we ordered a massive M&Ms fudge brownie. The M&Ms were intentionally stale, so instead of being crunchy they were chewy on top of the brownie. It reminded me of a Cosmic Brownie. In Texas, there are smoke cathedrals everywhere for those willing to look, and places like Rejino make stops in small towns completely worth it. RIYL: top notch barbecue that also happens to be pretty affordable

The menu was very easy to read, and provided enough variety in order to find exactly what you were looking for without needing to compromise on your appetite. The waitress was very friendly and provided her opinion on local favorites without demeaning other options, always a deal breaker for me when places do that, so she gets special love for her taking care of us that night. Once our meals arrived, it was time to dig in. The food was hot, prepared exactly as expected, and in typical Texas fashion there was more than we could expect to eat in a single sitting. At Chopped and Sliced BBQ, you will never leave hungry. Honorable mention to the fried Okra. I became the star of the night as almost everyone at the table couldn't get enough of it. Also, not sure if it was a regular or one-off, but the night we were dining in there was a man playing traditional Americana folk songs on guitar just inside by the entrance. He provided a nice relaxing atmosphere for the night without being too out or overbearing for my ears. I found myself tipping him on more than one occasion for his contributions to the evening.
