Nothing was far from perfect! Good bbq ambience/music, very clean, they actually actively clean the tables! Some places don't.... Everyone is super nice. The ribs are among my favorite and I've had ribs at many, many places, it's kinda my thing. The brisket is also among my favorites. German potatoes and corn also great. Eat here! read more

Great food! Get here early to avoid sell out. Brisket and ribs are first to go. Owner is a great man.

First time customer...we got the meatloaf special because our cousin was ranting and raving about how good it was. It did not disappoint the service was great! Nice people and hot food! The restaurant was nice and clean. I would return but next time I'd ask for no sauce on my meatloaf and mashed potatoes. read more

Bbq was amazing! Best BBQ joint around the tri- county area imo. I had the sundae with sausage, potatoes salad, and husband had brisket plate Mac n cheese and jalapeño popper but stuffed with brisket- great!. Brisket was perfectly cooked and juicy. My sundae was an amazing mixture of everything. I especially loved the creamed crack corn. We will be back! read more

Very very good. Brisket has a nice crust and the sides are exceptional. I had the crack corn and jalapeño popper Mac and cheese. Our picky kids enjoyed the sausage. read more

My husband went to pick up lunch today. After reading the information and seeing the menu, we decided we needed to try it. WOW. Just delicious from the first bite. Nicely trimmed ribs, meat falling off the bone, lovely crust. Just-right potato salad, read more

Stopped by on our way home from a roadtrip. As someone who's tried most of the top 50 bbq spots in Texas, I'd be shocked if this didn't make it on the next list. The brisket was moist and had a great bark, the pork ribs were tender and had a great taste, and the quality/variety of sides was great too. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the prices were reasonable for a Texas BBQ spot with this quality. The only thing that I wasn't blown away by was the sausage; I tried both, and although they were good, they weren't at the level of the rest of the offerings. Will definitely stop by the next time I'm in Brady. read more

Delicious bbq, fantastic desserts, and a dog friendly porch out front. Stopped in here with our family of four and a dog on a spring break road trip. We ordered the bubba, a brisket sandwich, turkey sandwich, Mac and cheese, a banana pudding and cookies for the road and it was all delicious. The sourdough buns were wonderful. The portions are huge and we split the banana pudding. The restaurant seemed extra clean and the staff super friendly. We all loved it. read more

Ate too fast I forgot to take a picture. Had a Texas Twinkie, Mac and cheese and crack corn for $17. Portion size was hefty. Mac and cheese was a white cheese which was super cheesy and rich. I prefer a sweeter cream corn but theirs was still good. Texas Twinkie hits and brisket was flavorful. Staff was great and outside patio was nice. I don't live here but would make another stop driving through. read more

The wife and I were going home from San Antonio and wanted BBQ. We chose Rockin J Smokehouse. When you walk in the door. Radio playing country music in the background. Staff is very attentive and wanting to make sure you have a great experience. I got the jalapeño cheese sausage and brisket with German potato salad and jimmy crack corn. The wife got fatty brisket with cowboy beans and jimmy crack corn plus a Texas toothpick (bacon wrapped jalapeño with brisket and cream cheese). The brisket melts in your mouth. Jalapeño cheese sausage had really good flavor. Beans are on the sweet side for my liking but overall not a bad flavor. German potato salad is really good and the corn is awesome also. They will give you bread upon request. Overall it was a great experience. Really good food. I will definitely stop here on my way through again. read more

Fantastic brisket and sides. Blown away by the hospitality. Live music was great. Banana pudding tasted like home and the burnt ends were perfect. Everyone has a smile here. read more

I agree with one of the other reviewers -- we've tried a lot of the top BBQ restaurants, not just in Texas but all over the US. This place beats all of them except for Franklin BBQ in Austin. The restaurant was very clean (as was their bathroom). We had the brisket, turkey and burnt ends as well as the Texas Twinkie and they were all really well done. If I was nitpicking, I'd say the burnt ends could have gone a little longer and the Cole slaw could have been a little less creamy. But again we thought this place was great! The service was good too. We'll definitely be returning. read more

five stars best barbecue in texas! go here now you will love it great food great service great texas hospitality

Awesomeness surprise! The chopped brisket sandwich was delicious and plentiful (so big-chose to split it), accompanied by bread and butter pickles and sliced onions. We opted for the new mustard potato salad, just one of several good looking choices. Will definitely stop by again on our next trip through! read more

Best BBQ in several counties. Tender, smoky brisket and killer sides. Looking forward to going back soon.
