People don't mind paying for food, but seriously make it worth the price you charge. The sourdough bread they serve is NOT sourdough - AWFUL. The fajitas are okay, but again, the portion is ridiculously SMALL. The chips are SOGGY, even after asking for more and mentioning the problem, we got more of the same. The ONLY THING that was good, was the lemonade. The wait for everything is LONG. The wait would have been okay IF the food would have been worth the wait, but sadly, IT WAS NOT. I have to give a star in order to leave a review and this is the ONLY reason it gets 1 star. -UNDERWHELMING-

We ordered from the truck and they delivered to our table inside. It appears they are still working out the kinks. Service was slow but interesting. I don't think they are ready for indoor dining quite yet. That was ok. Parking is tight but not impossible. I was able to get in and out with my F150. We both had the Rowdy Dog. It's a smoked then grilled hot link smothered in chopped brisket on a hotdog bun. It was friggin delicious! Neither of us had sides but they did look real good. We will be back, there are lots of menu items left to try.

It's the best I've eaten here in the RGV and coming in a close second to City Market in Luling, TX. It's that good! This visit I decided to try their Three Brisket Combo meal. It comes with three brisket tacos (corn or flour tortillas) loaded with brisket, a couple grilled jalapeño slices, grilled onions and some cilantro. They didn't need salsa but a squeeze of lime might've been helpful. The side I chose was their house made coleslaw which was pretty tasty. I ordered their green beans with onion and bacon but a few minutes after ordering a fellow came out to tell me they were out of the beans so I settled for the slaw. I also ordered an order of their house cut, tallow fried french fries. Man, were they GOOD! As in THE BEST FRIES I'VE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE GOOD!!! They are worth the visit all by themselves. The combo meal comes with a bottomless drink as well. The wife and I split the Combo meal, added the fries and a small side of potato salad that she wanted. We each ate one taco and about half of the sides. So we had a leftover taco, some fries and half our sides for the next day. All for like $21. The combo meal is $13.99 which is a pretty good deal in itself. The fries were like $6 and well worth the price. We will definitely be back. I would also highly recommend their 50/50 Rice and Beans topped with Brisket Bowl. That provided two meals for me when I ordered it previously. You can't go wrong at this little joint.

I had the lunch special for today. A half chicken with two sides. I had charro beans snd potato salad for my sides. My wife had the 2 meat plate with two sides.She had pulled pork and brisket with bbq beans snd potato salad also for her sides. The chicken was ok. It was a large portion but it could have used some seasoning. We both thought the potato salad was sub par. The charro beans were by far the best I have had anywhere in the valley. I would go back just for the charro beans. The wife's pulled pork was very good. The brisket again could have used some seasoning but was still pretty tasty. Her bbq beans were average. She described them as Van de Camps with bbq sauce added. Counter service was ok. Hard to hear them. The building from the outside looks sketchy but it's very nice inside. We would like to go back and try it again. Maybe this was an off day.

This was my very first visit to this restaurant. I'd heard mixed reviews but decided to give it a…read moreshot. As someone who loves BBQ and has tried many places like Lone Star, Ace's, Reyna's, and even HEB, I was curious to see how this one compared. Unfortunately, it ended up being a huge disappointment--especially when it came to the sides, which were the worst I've ever had. What We Ordered: I ordered the Chicken Fajita plate, which comes with two sides (though I'm not sure if I paid extra for the drink). I chose macaroni and potato salad as my sides and even added an extra side of mashed potatoes to try more options. My fiancé ordered ribs with the same sides. Our total came out to about $38, which is pricey for two people. Service and Presentation: The food arrived less than five minutes after we sat down--red flag number one. At a sit-down restaurant, I expect fresh, hot food, not something prepared long before and left sitting around. To make matters worse, we were literally the only people in the restaurant, yet the food was served cold. The portion sizes were underwhelming for the price. The chicken was hard, old, and cold to the touch, although the flavor was decent. The tortillas were hot but hard as a rock, and the pico de gallo was served in a tiny condiment container. I didn't even bother trying it. The Sides: The mashed potatoes were runny and flavorless, as if they were overmixed. However, the gravy was a saving grace with its pieces of green peppers and onions, giving it a homestyle touch. The potato salad was sweet and gritty, likely from a bulk wholesale tub like the kind sold at HEB, and it was far from appetizing. The macaroni and cheese was the biggest offense. It came cold in a Styrofoam cup (as did all the sides), and I couldn't get past the weird, sour taste. It wasn't a sharp cheddar richness--it was sour, like someone added lemon to it. Oddly, my fiancé's macaroni didn't have the same sourness, but it was still bland and unappetizing. It's safe to say my 10-year old brother couldn't have messed up a microwave kraft cup more than they did with their "in house" recipe. I will give credit where it's due. The tea, the variety of sauces, the ribs, and the overall cleanliness of the dining area were all decent. Final Thoughts: In my short 25 years, I've never had such an unpleasant experience with food. I'm greatly dissatisfied and can only hope this was an isolated incident. My advice? Please consider revising the recipes for the above mentioned sides, especially the macaroni and cheese. I'm usually the kind of person who gives restaurants a second chance because I enjoy trying new places and I'm not picky. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back here. It's just not it.
