Quite possibly the best BBQ I've ever had. I've eaten here a few times but decided to share some photos. I ordered the lean brisket and the smoked Turkey. That brisket was soft and not overly smoked. Moist and just juicy. The fat to meat ratio was perfect. The Turkey was moist and flavorful. Definitely a hit. Even the coleslaw and beans were good. It's a little pricey but the quality shows right through.

Bbq and Big Red!

Another Texas BBQ I discovered, this time in the Permian Basin about 80 miles Southwest of Midland and three hours East of El Paso. Super nice people running the place. They close when they sell out and that is pretty much daily. I woukd suggest coming as soon as they open. Brisket and Big Red-One of my favorite meals! Same is true here. Green beans and some grits on the side please. You know it's Texas BBQ, not just by the big red, but also by the slice of wonder bread. Pulled Pork was good and so was the smoked Turkey. Somehow, I gotta have collard greens..just my preference. They were out of the Pecos Spud so I didn't have a chance to try that. Price is good and customer service is Great! Parking is super easy. The hours can be tricky and you need to plan for this. Good luck coming in for dinner Rang the Bell as I walked out!

We took it to go.

If you are traveling in West Texas, make sure you are near Pecos at 11:00. This is must have BBQ. We had sliced brisket, ribs, turkey, and smoked sausage. All prepared perfect with flavors that were not covered with sauces or rubs. It was obvious they started with a great piece of meat and cooked it perfectly. They have several tasty sides but I would recommend the Green Chile Hominy. The employees and owner were just what you would expect in West Texas. Warm and attentive and appreciative that you are supporting their business. While I was there, I was witness to a kind gesture to a member of their community. Make it a point to stop here. You won't be disappointed!!

Chopped brisket sandwich

My FAVORITE place to eat! It is absolutely AMAZING!!! The food is unforgettable! The service and owners are very attentive and take great care of their customers. The ambiance is fitting for bbq, however I wish the was more seating and longer hours. I will continue to return, this place is amazing!!

Great food. This was the sliced brisket sandwich with a side of coleslaw. It was all delicious!

You can tell walking in that this is a locals joint, and I absolutely love that (considering we drove in from Dallas on our way to New Mexico). Everybody knew everybody and it just felt warm and welcoming! I definitely agree Pody's deserves a spot on Texas Monthly's Top 50. The bark on my brisket was worth the drive alone! My ribs were super meaty but fell off the bone a little too easily if I was being picky. The sausage was sausage. Not really unique but good enough to serve out. The pulled pork was very interesting. The flavor was absolutely divine but it was really really wet, but it wasn't sauces. It's a little hard to describe. But still really good regardless. And that famous spicy BBQ sauce was definitely a nice touch. But that green chili hominy that everyone raves about, yea that was super yummy. Imagine green chili queso poured all over corn, but it's not corn, it's hominy. Definitely recommend Pody's. Enjoy y'all!

When you arrive and look at it your going to say is this the right place ? Take a deep breath and you will smell the smoke. They do a traditional Texas brisket with post oak or mesquite depending on the day. The brisket is fantastic and so is the jalapeño cheddar sausage. The ticket to the show is then green chili Cheese hominy the texture is light and creamy it's just wonderful. Small space but very clean, I got a tour from Israel the pitmaster he is using an indirect heat smoker.

Tri-tip, beans, potato salad, onions, pickles, and jalapeños!  Great meal.

Traveling across Texas, had enough Sonic, McDonald's, Denny's etc. Looked this place up and saw the great reviews. We pulled into the parking lot, called in our order, and within minutes it was brought to our car. Social distancing, masks, and a great meal! Really GREAT BBQ!

Mac Daddy - enough for 4 meals minimum.

Simply amazing. It is a small place with limited seating but I'm guessing the person taking the orders slows down just enough so it magically works out that a table always seems to come open when needed. Definitely a cool old west BBQ joint feel. Everything on the menu looked amazing but we decided to go for the Mac Daddy. First off, the amount of food was astounding. If you need to feed a family of four for $15, this is the meal forecast you. And it comes with 2 drinks! Even though we indicated brisket as the meat it came with brisket, pork, and sausage, all of which were delicious. There had to be well over a pound and a half of meat on there. The mac-n-cheese was good and the curly fries were cooked and seasoned very well. They even snuck a few slices of potato at the very bottom. Generous amount of sour cream and shredded cheddar on top as well. We were on the road and took the leftovers to go and heated them up in the hotel microwave and they were incredible even then. The pictures just don't do it justice. We didn't put any sauce on it because it was so amazing plain. Just about the best BBQ I have ever had. I sometimes describe something as being "as big as a baby's head". I hope I never meat a baby with a head this big. The only thing that depresses me is this is probably the only time I'll ever find myself in Pecos. Maybe they can deliver via FedEx or something. Simply incredible.

Ribs, brisket, turkey, green chili hominy, brisket beans.

Short & Sweet- if you're near Pecos, Pody's is worth the effort. The long version - Pody's designation as one of Texas's best BBQ joints is well deserved. The nondescript building seems typical for remarkable off-the-beaten-path BBQ. I sampled brisket, turkey, and pork ribs. The brisket was tender and well flavored. Smoked turkey breast can be dry, but Pody's was juicy and delicious. Pork ribs were fall-apart tender. Everything had a nice flavor, mildly smoky and perfectly seasoned. Three sides were chosen. Green Chili Hominy - this is a recipe I'll try to recreate! White hominy in a cheesy béchamel sauce with mild green chilis; should've ordered a double. The brisket beans did not stand out. Mac & cheese was average and a bit runny. Pody's did not disappoint for the hype. I've heard of them since 2018 when I was working in Odessa. There are a few neat things in Pecos, a rodeo museum, antique car museum, Pecos Bill memorabilia, artsy western boots, and the west of the pecos museum. So if you're going to way-west Texas, make a day-trip to Pecos and get some Pody's BBQ while you're there.

Posy's is A MUST if you're ever in Pecos! Huge portions that are packed with deliciousness! Super flavorful bar-b-que. Don't forget to get a side of green chili hominy. You'll be so glad you did. The staff is super friendly as well. Get there early as y this good stuff sells out quickly! Be sure to ring the bell on your way out the door!

The menu!  Side note: I'm drooling already

Excellent barbeque. Not advisable if you have heart problems but the brisket and sausage was great and the iced tea was also excellent.

They have good brisket and a different side I've never had before - jalapeño cheese hominy. I say it's worth the stop.

Got ribs and brisket. The BBQ was alright. The service was pretty slow. That's pretty much all I have to say about this place.
