Didn't want a full bbq plate for lunch, so just went with the Cuban. That told me everything I needed to know. Pulled pork was tender and smoked perfectly, while the entire sandwich was full of the flavors you'd expect. Sweet tea was on point. read more

One table occupied. They didn't even approach us. We walked out. Kind of grimy too. I didn't eat so I won't speak on the food. Don't need to come back here so I won't. read more

Ok, our cooking club went here yesterday on a field trip. It came highly recommended on Yelp and I can see why. I got the ribs and they were delicious! The rest of our group split it all up between Frito pie, brisket, and sausage. Everyone said it was awesome. Plus I had my new puppy with me and they allowed her in because they are pet friendly. Great service and a very attentive staff. I'm just sorry it's not in Fort Stockton because I have to drive about 80 miles to get here. But it's worth it. read more

Poor Daddy’s Smokehouse BBQ - menu - Barbeque Near Me - Kermit, Texas

I find it difficult to enjoy BBQ from a restaurant because I'm constantly critiquing it against my own. This was hands down the best plate of BBQ I've ever had from a restaurant. Everything was consistent. Brisket was spot on for Texas style. Sausage and pulled pork both were excellent. Potato salad had a great mustard wang! Mac N Cheese was a little too runny, but the flavor was really good. They don't skimp on portion sizes or relish items (pickles, onions and jalapeños) Great friendly service to boot. Might seem a little pricey, but not really considering the quality. If you're a real BBQ fan, this is a must try place. read more

Love the ribs and brisket, waitresses are nice love the scenery! Good place to hang out and relax and eat good food!

Above average TX BBQ with great service and solid ambiance. Perfect for quick grab and go or for large parties.

Working in the area of Wink and Kermit for the next few months and decided to give this place a try. I came in for a late lunch. The building is nice and there is plenty of seating. There is a small bar top with about four beers on draft. This placed seemed clean. I had the one meat plate with a mix of lean and moist brisket. My two sides were potato salad and macaroni and cheese. Pro-beer was cold Cons-The brisket was almost cold in certain points of a slice, indicating it was reheated or warmed. It wasn't dry, but it did lack flavor. I could not taste any smoke whatsoever. I recommend cranking up the oak and hickory usage since that is what they claim to use. The potato salad was mustard based, but it was more like mashed potato salad. The macaroni and cheese was lackluster but it tasted alright. They need to turn up the heat on their steam table because the macaroni and cheese was barely warm. I'd return to try something else as for all I know the chicken, ribs, or sausage could be good. I'll give the pinto beans a try as one of my sides next time. read more

Poor Daddy’s Smokehouse BBQ - Brisket plate - Barbeque Near Me - Kermit, Texas

Excellent steaks on Friday nights! Spot on! Well seasoned, cooked perfectly and delicious

I came to eat here for the first time on Tuesday November 19th and I was happy to meet some very nice people . My server was Isabel she was sweet and she makes sure you are satisfied and Keeps your drink full . She is very knowledgeable of things and she is kind and polite and she always has a smile on that beautiful face. People here greet you as you come in and you sit down and leave your worries outside. I had the three meat dinner and pinto beans and potatoes with bacon bits and a big class of sweet tea and a cold beer. And topped it off with peach cobbler with ice cream. I was stuffed. And today is November 20th for lunch I sat down and was greeted by Carman . She is sweet and friendly and kind and cheerful and she keeps your tea full and always checking to see how your doing. Today I had a pulled pork sandwich and a baked potato and a big glass of sweet tea. And again topped it off with a peach cobbler. So delicious. If you have not ate here I would encourage you to do so it is very good. read more

Poor Daddy’s Smokehouse BBQ - Smoked chicken, green beans and mixed vegetables - Barbeque Near Me - Kermit, Texas

Meat often smelled like maybe seafood, I don't believe it was spoiled but it may have been some type of cross-contamination of some sort.

I'm visiting Monahans and wanted some BBQ, the reviews for this spot were great, so I headed to Kermit. The restaurant was very clean, I walked in to place a to go order and was out in less than 5 minutes! Everything I ordered was great, and worth the prices for the portions given. The ribs were very well seasoned and tender. I would definitely stop again if I was in the area!!! read more

Alright everyone, if you are within an hour of Kermit and looking for a great place to get some BBQ, this is it. Many places these days are afraid to add too many seasonings or spices to their food, leaving it bland and boring, but you won't find that here. They've got flavor, and they aren't afraid to flaunt it. Here's what we had: Sausage - 5 stars, great flavor, great sauce, top notch stuff all around. Potato Salad - 4.25 stars, excellent taste, we did add a little pepper to satisfy our own personal preference for a high dose, but even without it, some great flavors there and some of the best we've had lately. Beans - 3.5 stars, definitely not your "open a can and serve" beans - they spent some time on them, and there was some good flavor. Probably the only thing that had much of any room for improvement, maybe they could add some bacon or something, but even without that, they are quite tasty. Cole Slaw - 5 stars. Hands down some of the best we've had. Great flavor and again no skimping on the spices here. A little different looking than you might expect, but once you take a bite, you will know you made a great choice. Overall atmosphere - 5 stars. We loved the giant US and Texas flags and all the college flags hanging around the restaurant. The indoor/outdoor feel is very nice and makes the place feel more like you are in your backyard cooking barbecue, which I am sure was the desired effect. Service was about as expected for the time we came this go-round. We came right in the middle of the lunch rush, and they were pretty well packed, so wait times were understandably slightly long, but everyone was on task and doing their best to keep up. We can't mark them down for it since the other 2 times we each came solo outside of the lunch rush, service was quite speedy. They even offer a military discount, which is definitely appreciated. Overall, we give the place a 5-star rating and are so happy to have it in our home town. We will be back - often. If you have not checked it out yet - you should as soon as you can; you are missing out. read more

Poor Daddy’s Smokehouse BBQ - Old Fashion Grilled Cheese- Mac and cheese grilled cheese, and "old fashion" meat. So good! - Barbeque Near Me - Kermit, Texas

Absolutely some of the best BBQ I've had in a long time. Ribs were absolutely off the chart and the brisket was awesome. Had potato salad and Mac and cheese for the sides and they didn't disappoint. Great atmosphere and service was spot on. Truly a hidden gem in Kermit, Texas. Well worth the stop!! read more

Great food, huge place, a perfect space for entertaining friends and family. Ribs, brisket and sausage were all delicious with yummy Smoky flavor. But our favorite was "The Big Poppa" a grilled Mac and cheese sandwich. You can get it with any of their meats, but we like it plain. We wanted to try all their cobblers but we were too full and didn't have enough room in our full bellys. Lots of parking in the front and on the side. Lots of cold Texas and domestic beers. And even a corn hole in the back. Oh I forgot about the most memorable thing... RACHEL our waitress/ bartender/ busser/ janitor/ cashier she did it all! read more

awesome place to hang out after giving your soul to the permian basin 12 hours a day, six days a week. excellent brisket.

What a great addition to my adopted Texas Hometown! I am a bit of a BBQ snob, and let me tell you, the food at this place is A W E S O M E! I ordered the 3 meat place with mac & cheese and pinto beans. Everything was so scrumptious, and I left there SO FULL!!!! The service was exceptional, and my sweet tea was quickly refilled often. I had the brisket (wonderful, tender, smokey) and hot links (yum!) and "the old fashioned" (which is chopped brisket, hot links & ribs, simmered in BBQ sauce). The next afternoon, I ordered an old fashioned sandwich to go, and it was only $7! That's a great deal! (A double western cheeseburger from Carl's Jr is $9!) I was so happy to see this place open, you can tell they are BBQ pro's. They made a SIGNIFICANT investment into the old Chevy Dealership and transformed it into a very TEXAS BBQ house! I don't come to town very often, but I can assure you that when I come back, Poor Daddy's Smokehouse BBQ will be the FIRST place I come to eat! read more

Good food good service great atmosphere. Nothing fancy just good old fashion BBQ and Smoked meat. Suck the meat off the bone ribs. Smoked turkey is juicy and tender. Cobbler is the best read more

Came in here two days in a row before heading to location. Service was friendly and fast, food came Out quickly as well. I had an old fashioned and the prime rib and both were delicious and a good value for the money. Get you a good sandwich in a sit down restaurant in a cool establishment before yoU head to work. read more

Good flavor, but tough. Chicken a little dry. Sides are very good as are the deserts. Nice place, good atmosphere.

I work in the area and I want good home cooked food. I have ordered twice for pick-up. The first time I ordered the chicken dinner. I brought it home and opened it. What i saw was GROSS. 3 pieces of chicken, I think it was chicken. It looked like they put in the fire and when the chicken was burned, took it out. Chicken was Pink inside. Not cooked. I also got a couple sides, One was mashed potatoes. Potatoes were cold. I love the Texas toast. It wasn't even toasted. Okay try a second time. I ordered Prime Rib medium, mashed potatoes and Texas toast. Got it back home, Opened it again the meat was PINK again and the mashed potatoes were not potatoes, they were runnie potatoes. And know the toast, It wasn't even toasted or warm. And GROSS. I work with a lot of people and they ask me where to eat in Kermit. NOT AT POOR DADDY'S anymore. HospitalityMan read more

Such a great atmosphere!!! You are greeted with friendly, welcoming faces as soon as you walk in the door and the food is super tasty! The ribs are sweet, yet smoky and perfectly tender. They have live music some days. So, if that's not your thing be sure to swing by on a day they don't have live music because you definitely don't want to miss out!! read more
