Brisket, mac & cheese, and baked beans
David G.

Was it the best brisket that I've ever had? No, but it's good. Did they have the best BBQ sauces I've ever had? No, but they were good. Was the service top notch? No, but it was acceptable. And that really is the feel you get in here. The place is good. Just not the greatest of all time. If you're in Richmond and you want to stop for some BBQ, go with it. But I wouldn't describe it as a destination if it's out of the way. The one place it shined, and the reason I'm going four stars above three, is with the sides. The baked beans and mac & cheese were phenomenal. And look, sides in my book are super important. But, sides ain't the draw. The draw is the meats and the BBQ, and this place is good. It just ain't mind blown great.

Friday's at Straight from Texas are my favorite. Nothing can beat these beef burnt ends

Everything I've ever eaten here is delicious. I especially love Fridays at Straight from Texas Barbecue. These beef burnt ends are fabulous!

A small place and not busy on this Friday night, which was surprising because the barbecue is solid. It's "Texas barbecue" so I went with the brisket. The cook asked if I minded it being mostly moist, which I definitely did not. It was not nearly as fatty as I expected, turning out to be quite delicious. At the table, I dug into the meal. A good portion of brisket which did need a tiny bit of sauce to bring out the flavor. With a big portion of excellent mac & cheese that was cheesy with firm noodles and a great flavor. Potato salad was good with firm potatoes and a tasty mix. This was a good meal and I enjoyed it muchly. My friend chose the pulled pork and pronounced it delicious.

Good food!

REALLY, REALLY GREAT BBQ!!!! Very Happy with the quality and portions. My wife liked the macaroni and cheese. I love the collard greens, they offer vinegar on them, delicious! I highly recommend this place. Way to go people!

#YelpTop25Brisket Once you eat here, you will see why this needs to be on Yelp's top 25 brisket places in the United States! Brisket done right, every time. Closed Sunday and Monday. Try Wing Wednesday or Nacho Thursday.

Brisket, coleslaw, potato salad, pico di gallo.

Loved it. Well worth the drive. Brisket was rubbed and smoked well. Great sides. Staff was very kind and welcoming. Best Texas bbq I've had in Kentucky.

4 meats + 2 sides (double burnt ends)

I cannot say enough about the burnt ends, delicious, perfection, overall great. Service was efficient, polite and made it a speedy visit.

Overall it was a good experience. I came later in the day for the Texas sampler which was probably a bad idea as the wings were on the cold side. I'm sure if I had got them fresh it would have been good. Same goes for the brisket, my friend and I both got that and it was a bit cold which affected the flavor. The pulled pork is good as well as the ribs, and I like the Mac and cheese. Wasn't a big fan of the coleslaw but that is a taste that goes from person to person. Baked beans were good as well, have yet to try their other sides they offer but will do it more towards the afternoon time when I think most of their food is piping hot and ready to go

Always great food and ample portions!! A small, off the beaten path kind of place. Once you try their BBQ, you won't want any other.

I've heard it said before that if you want home cookin', then eat at home. I normally subscribe to…read morethis belief. It's one reason I don't go out for breakfast ~ I can make a pretty good breakfast at home. No use paying someone to do something I can do. So, going into Jackson's restaurant, a mom and pop restaurant specializing in home cooked style food, I had my doubts. Walking up to what resembled a school cafeteria lunch line only furthered my doubts. And, seeing the sheer number of different options sitting out behind the glass window only furthered my suspicions. Look, I was wrong. The food here is really good. The service is super friendly and helpful. I was so overwhelmed by all the choices I just told the lady behind the glass counter to pick me something. She obliged with a kindness that made me think she knew me somehow. She chose the chicken and dumplings, beef stew, apples, and two different types of corn bread. Now, I thought initially, and she even admitted, that the chicken and dumplings/beef stew mix was a little unorthodox, but that they were both so good I had to try them. Both were fantastic. The apples were awesome. I liked both types of corn bread. When I got up to leave, she called me over to the counter and said that since it was my first time there, I'd get a free dessert. You all, I was too full to even try. The food here is both tasty and filling. I was in Richmond for a conference at Eastern Kentucky University. So it was really convenient to stop by. But I'd say that even if you're remotely close, it's worth a visit. Don't, as I did, judge a book by its cover.

"Grippo's or Lays?" Says the owner when you order…read more This place is WEIRD. In the best way possible. They're open 5-9PM on Thursday-Saturday. It's a one man show. They close when supplies run out, and it always seems to be quickly after they open. Check Facebook! Best burger I've ever had! You do have to wait, but it's well worth it! The homemade mustard is a little sweet and tangy, and is excellent! It's so cheap for a burger and chips! Mr. Wink (maybe?) is super attentive and kind! He was always asking if anyone needed more of their beverage. He remembers seasoned visitors and keeps great rapport. I appreciated that the Ale-8 and bottled water were just a dollar! It's a little busy and it can get loud, but it's not too bad. Take a look at the stickers!

The place was packed but the dude working (I'm assuming Wink) was quick to notice us and grab our drink orders while we waited for a seat and to put our food order in. A couple of people took notice that we may be first timers and welcomed us on with all the details of the place. We grabbed the pepper/pepper bacon burger with Winks homemade mustard and Grippos. Washing it down with a cold beer made it all a winning combo! Some tips: If you are going, check their Facebook. They are open limited days/hours plus they aren't a huge operation so do take days off if it strikes their fancy. Go early and expect a wait. We showed up 5 minutes after opening and all stools were full and standing room only. Just get a beer and wait your turn.
