Mike’s On The Loop - BBQ brisket sandwich omg it's amazing

Mike’s On The Loop

AMAZING BRISKET!!!! Just incredible!! I stumbled on this gem by accident - wasn't even sure what…read morekind of establishment it was - was actually looking for coffee LOL! Took a chance and went in Bc it looked so inviting and I was worn out from all the driving on the Willow City Loop checking out the wildflower superbloom. They had 2 things on the menu (they're very new - just opened a few weeks ago) - pulled pork sandwich or bbq brisket sandwich. I opted for the brisket and HOLY COW - I grew up in Texas and Lousiana and this might actually take the top spot as best brisket I've EVER had!!! It's soft and just melts in your mouth - smoked and cooked flawlessly - and the sauce - perfect blend of Smokey bbq flavor and a slight hint of hot spicy bite - it was just phenomenal. Mike knows what he's doing behind the pit to be sure!! And it comes piled so high on that lovely Texas toast that there's no way you'll be eating it with your hands - you're gonna need tools lol! It comes with chips - and this day I had a choice of additional side btwn Blue Apple Slaw (which was coleslaw with blue cheese, apples, walnuts etc) and Mexican Street Corn. I opted for the corn Bc I am not a fan of blue cheese. So - the corn threw me off a bit - I was expecting it to be warm but it was cold?? Once my brain got over the confusion I liked it lol! It had cilantro and tomatoes and a nice dressing - it was more like a kind of corn salad - pretty good! I did hear them accommodating a couple that came in and didn't want bbq so they may have other choices - like for picky eaters or kids for example - such as ham and cheese I think. The staff were so so sweet and friendly - totally warm and charming! The location is kinda out of the way - it's very rural which I imagine is why they're only open on weekends. But it's absolutely perfect if you're visiting the area to drive the Willow City Loop for the views and wildflowers- Bc there isn't really anything else around there in terms of businesses. They had plenty of parking on a gravel lot. Bathrooms were cute and spotless. The cafe itself is too cute and the ambiance is very comfy - lots of cozy seating and nice windows - felt like I was eating at family's house! They also had some nice outside seating but was too chilly for me.

One…read moreway was the wildflowers and one was a small, nice looking building of some sort and I thought I saw someone standing at a microphone singing, so we put the flowers on hold and turned right. Turns out it was a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The musicians were singing outside in the seating area so we entered the building to find a nicely clean place that smelled slightly of brisket and BBQ. Bathrooms were spotless, always a critical part of my reviews because it shows how they do business. Small menu; brisket or pulled pork sandwich, Ribeye steak sandwich or pizza. Some unique sides are also on the menu as you get two with each entrée ordered. We chose the brisket sandwich with unique corn and potato salad. The DW had the apple/blue cheese sloe slaw and the corn too. The sides were great; different than normal and unique flavors that worked well together. The brisket was good but I have to say the day before I had Franklin's brisket in Austin and as most of you know, it's rated the best in the US most times. It is tough to follow up a world class BBQ joint like that. The meat was tender, a little on the dry side but it was early morning and they were just getting started. The 4 star rating was for two things; one the service was slow but they have a Chef that was doing the kitchen and the wine bar and a server/order taker. Twenty minutes was not too bad when you think about it. The Chef came outside and checked on everyone which we thought was nice. The second thing was they put BBQ sauce on my brisket sandwich. NEVER, NEVER put sauce on the sandwich, put it on the side and let the customer decide. The sauce was good but it hides the true flavor of the brisket. The entertainment was nice. Two Texas Country guys starting out sang with just a guitar covering some on the original work and covers for others. One of them; Clay Caster, has promise with a smooth voice and good stage presence. Try this place, I'll come back and with time they will sort everything out.

They were light, fluffy, and had the perfect texture. Honestly, they were so good that we ate almost all of them before I remembered to take a picture! Overall, a wonderful dining experience with delicious food. We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely come back, especially for those amazing beignets!

We had an awesome time at Bankersmith and honestly there's a lot more here than I expected. It has…read morethat rustic, slightly quirky Texas Hill Country atmosphere that feels genuine instead of manufactured for tourists. We ate here and really enjoyed the food -- big portions, good drinks and a very relaxed atmosphere. Between eating, hanging out, seeing the animals and exploring the property, there was plenty to keep us entertained. We even ended up making friends with the sweetest little cat inside, which became one of those random funny memories from the trip. The live music/dance hall atmosphere and all the old Texas décor give the place a ton of character. It's definitely not some polished chain restaurant, and that's exactly what makes it fun. We also stayed in one of the Bankersmith suites, which made the experience even better. The room had a really cool rustic Western style with wood walls, vintage furniture, Texas artwork and a small living/kitchen area. Being able to enjoy the area and then stay right there instead of driving back into town was a huge plus. We paired our Bankersmith stay with a visit to nearby Grapetown Vineyard & Farm and one of their animal experiences, so the whole thing made for a really memorable Hill Country getaway. Good food, animals, music, drinks, a unique place to stay and a ton of Texas character. We took an absurd number of pictures and had a great time. Definitely somewhere we'd come back to.
