Stopped by Harmons BBQ and ordered the chopped pork. They do not call it pulled pork, but it is…read morepretty much the same thing. The pork was flavorful, tender, and had good BBQ flavor. Compared to some of the bigger BBQ places around town, I think Harmons holds its own when it comes to quality. The ambiance also fits the BBQ experience, with a nice Western, old-school feel. They even have a cool vintage-style gas pump that adds some character to the place. The brownie was fresh and delicious, and definitely worth trying. The sides were good as well, although they were a little hard to find on the menu boards, so it took some looking to figure out the options. One thing to know is that they do not take Amex, so bring another card or payment method. Overall, good-quality BBQ without feeling like you have to go to one of the big-name spots. I would come back to try some of their other meats and sides.

Not only did they cook more food but they also delivered!!!! Daddy J has a sweet humble soul and exuded gratefulness for our patronage.

Hello my fellow foodies…read more I'm about to relax after devouring this deliciousness from Daddy J's BBQ! We ordered the 3 meat special for $14, the sides (Big beans and coleslaw) were extra; making the grand total $19. RIBS (5/5): The ribs were so tender and seasoned to perfection. I've ordered ribs from several local barbecue joints and some were either dry or was too much smoky flavor for me. I'm kicking myself in the rear end for not ordering more. Daddy J's ribs were juicy with just enough of season and smoky flavor. BAKED BEANS (5/5): Beans were tangy and sweet; very flavorful SAUSAGE (5/5): Sausage was hot and fresh but flavor was nothing really to rave about. It tasted like normal kielbasa sausage. BRISKET (4/5): While I'm not a huge brisket fan, I have to admit, it tasted pretty good. I personally feel like brisket should be injected with the same seasoning that's used on the outside. But, I understand most BBQ joints use the traditional way and I'm sure many may enjoy it just as it is. My husband ate more of it than I did and enjoyed it just as much as he did the ribs. COLESLAW (4/5): Coleslaw was cold and fresh. Although, I would have added a little more creamy slaw dressing. Rolls tasted as if they were Hawaiian rolls but that works too To me, it seems as if the ribs are the heavy hitting here! I would definitely visit again, order just ribs and sides.

All my brother wanted for his birthday last weekend was for us to join him and some friends at…read moreBurnt Bean Co. He's always on a mission to try as many of Texas Monthly's Top 50 BBQ Joints as he can. We were in San Antonio for the weekend to celebrate our grandfather's birthday, but Seguin isn't too far away (45 minutes on a good day or an hour and 20 minutes on a day when they've closed down I-10 and made a mess of a traffic; the latter was our experience). Friends of his drove from different places to meet us and we met them in line. Texas Monthly hasn't released the 2026 list yet, but Burnt Bean Co. was number 1 on the list in 2025. NUMBER 1! So, yes, there will be a line. The first of our group arrived around 9 in the morning for an 11 am opening. There's a bit of cover where the line wraps from the front door, but we were definitely baking. People brought chairs, umbrellas, handheld fans, cold waters, and more to stay cool. It was still sooooo hot. People who arrived around 9 got in right at 11 and had BBQ in front of them by 11:10. People who got there around 10 got in maybe a half hour later. People who got there later had to wait closer to an hour and got in around 12. (I noticed this, because people in our group weren't all standing together in line.) Once inside, the restaurant is really nice: high ceilings, great AC, tons of tables, and an outside area, too (if you prefer to continue to sweat as you eat your BBQ). The service was incredibly friendly, too. Staff came by and asked however everything was, took empty plates/platters to help us make room, and were very friendly when we were ordering. Almost everything we ate was exceptional. Their menu is huge, with tons of specials that change constantly. Between our group of 9 people, we tried most of the menu. The highlights for me were the beef cheek pastrami, the steakhouse bacon, the Moroccan spiced lamb ribs, and the turkey. I didn't have room to try the brisket, chicken, sausage, and many other things, because I had been eating too long by the time the folks with those meats got to our table! The sides were also very good. I tried the cheesy squash, the green beans, and the queso mac and cheese with hot cheetos - all good. On Saturdays, they offer several specials: the steakhouse bacon, the bourbon peach cobbler taco, and 2 free beers per person - as if they didn't have enough treats on the menu for a great time. Their location is Seguin is great - just off Central Park and Court Street. The service was fantastic. The vibes are great. The food was definitely topnotch. Even the line feels like a fun community experience - with people chatting and having a great time. There's nothing not to like about Burnt Bean Co. We all enjoyed my brother's birthday treat! I'm glad he insisted!

I ended up doing a pick up order to avoid the line since we were just passing through. Would…read morerecommend since the line seemed crazy. There is a 4 lb minimum and a 10 dollar pick up fee. You cannot try a wide variety of their dishes but it was enough for me. I had pick up at 10:30 and you just go to the back a bit of a wait like 10-15 minutes since they cut the meat to order. I got the brisket (2 lbs), pork ribs (2 lbs) , jalapeño sausage (1lb), and quart sizes of the corn pudding, tater tot dish, and hot cheeto mac and cheese. The stars were definitely the pork rib (super flavorful and tender), the brisket was fall apart tender, and the jalapeno sausage had a beautiful snap and is properly spicy. I was a bit disappointed with the sides. My favorite was probably the corn pudding but I still prefer a nice roasted corn OR a corn bread but this was a very unique combo of the two. The mac was okay and same with the tater tot side (honestly the potatoes were quite salty). The sauce isn't my favorite since I personally prefer a spicier sauce. The bread they have is very nice and the people are friendly. It's also quite smoky inside.

For those of you who seem obsessed with the amount of pending drafts I have…read more and when I get them done and how many I do at a time... Take note, I'm now in my Seguin pending draft phase. I digress. Let's get this review going: This family-owned bbq joint opened their door just a couple of years ago (2023). Don't let this new establishment concern you because these folks have been at it for years. Their previous place was in Rosenberg and it opened back in 1990. Prior to that , the owner's parents started their first place back in 1964. Proper, generational barbecue...it's in their blood. In fact, I'm pretty sure their blood is bbq sauce. They know what they're doing! The restaurant and covered patio are modern and industrial with wood, brick, and metal elements. Ample seating inside and out. The food is bombastic! Sometimes they have an Italian beef sandwich that I'm just crazy about. Love these other sandwiches too: Brisket Turkey Sausage Boyfriend loves the pulled pork sandwich. The brisket nachos are mouth-watering goodness. They have brisket tostadas that I've not tried yet but definitely plan to. I lose my mind for the peach crumble and the boyfriend loves the pecan cobbler. Sides we love: Brisket rice!! Tater tot casserole!! Mac + cheese Buttered potatoes Do yourselves a favor, go pig out at this pit room. You'll be glad you did! PS: stellar service too

All in all nothing wrong with food or service except felt rush but then again it is lunch hr. What…read morekilled me the most is the environment/ambience. I went in today with my three-year-old son during lunch hour on a weekday and it just felt like the elder crowd was like "what are they doing here?" As I walked in. Now Maybe I'm a little guarded I mean, I'm a single full-time Dad prior military, so I'm protective and observant. Plus, some guy in a big ol truck of course ( mind you I have a truck) decided that he wanted to almost hit my son and I as we' attempted to walking across the parking lot. I digress, but it was to the extent that I didn't even want to sit inside, so we sat on the patio. Which reminds me 91° outside and the patio well well ventilated, w/ breeze and felt good. All in all just an iffy experience. Food was good not great turkey was dry but the baked potato salad will have me back through the drive-thru through.

The theme, "Purple Pig" is genius. The people working here are really nice…read more The ambience is okay. Old school music was good but the volume was too much to bear. How can you relax and have a conversation with your friends or a date if you can't hear yourselves think? The service is nonexistent and that's fine because it's your basic fast food concept. Not a problem. However, the food is more industrial based than true Texas BBQ. My brisket was very dry. They slather a lot of BBQ sauce on top of your meat. Why? Because the meat is either old or dry or both. Mine was very dry. The beans were drenched in sugar. The Mac and Cheese lacked (cheese) taste. We love good BBQ. This is not good BBQ. Compare to the Burnt Bean in Sequin and you will understand. The burnt bean runs out of product leaving long lines for their food; it's real BBQ, fresh homemade food. You can taste it.

Expect a confirmation of the meat cuts to your satisfaction. BEEF RIB Acquired the middle cut. Beautiful bark (thin), juicy, tender, flavorful, smoky, beefy, digestible, fall off the bone. A single rib is great for 2 people to share. BRISKET Delicious bark, thick cut, juicy, tender, smoky, flavorful. So easy to eat. PORK RIB Fal off the bone. Juice, tender, smoky, and clean pork flavor. Glazed added a subtle sweetness that complimented the savory flavor and fat. Cartilage was tender and smoky. BONELESS CHICKEN THIGH Great smoky flavor. Not dry but moisture content was lower than expected. Very lean. Perfect texture to make a sliced chicken sandwich from. BACON MAC AND CHEESE Full bodied cheese sauce. Elbow macaroni. Bacon flavor was not overwhelming and complemented the Mac and cheese very well. GRANT'S POTATO SALAD Very flavorful! Such a balanced flavor of tang from mustard and pickles, herbs, and pepper. Well texture. Flavor went really well with the beef rib. TANGY COLESLAW Suble tang, not sour at all. Great cabbage texture, seasoned well, and not runny or thick. Great, refreshing complement to the smoky and fatty meats. Very fresh. PIMENTO CHEESE & CRACKERS Savory, hefty texture, and freshly made. Lights sweet flavor of Pimentos definetaly tasted. SMOKED BREAD PUDDING Must try! Freshly prepared upon ordering. Bread Pudding is full bodied. Sauces are not too sweet at all and add a balance of spice and savory. BANANA PUDDING More sweet flavor than banana. Nila cookies are soft. There is a buttery flavor and cinnamon is noticed! Good texture, not runny or too thick. BIG RED SODA Tastes like a sweet cream soda. Goes well against the smoky, savory, and fatty flavors of the meats and sides. AMBIANCE Cafeteria style, open seating. Cooling is just right that it does not alter the meats. Can get loud during busier times. The line that just reached to the street during lunch took about 45 minutes to get through. Line that just reached the end of the patio too about 30 minutes to get through.

Caveat: we came in during an air show weekend and the restaurant had several orders from the air…read moreshow but I have to rate them on our experience not on circumstances. We arrived just as they opened. There was no one to greet us for the first few minutes. Finally, someone came out from the back to let us know that they were busy, which sounded strange since they had just opened, but when they explained about the air show it made sense. The music is loud but that's expected. It is a bar after all...that serves barbecue. We ordered at the bar and sat down. BWE and I shared the Chuckwagon Classic Plate, and we added 1/3 lb of brisket. My son had the same Classic Plate. We got the beans and fries as our sides. When our food was brought to us, the server didn't give us utensils. We had to ask her for them. The portions seemed small. The brisket was not hot. It was room temperature. The fries and beans were just okay. We were underwhelmed. This is Texas. Our expectations were high but we were disappointed. It could be that the order from the air show overwhelmed them and left them little strength to give attention to our order so I'll give them a little grace and give them two stars instead of one. We won't be back.

Noticed upon entrance, a humongous outdoor space connected to both restaurants which included plenty of outdoor seating tables and a stage. It must get busy on the weekends and I assume there's entertainment. Friendly greeting upon entering and seat yourself. Lots of TVs with Chive and enjoyed the country music in the background. Excellent service! Our server was friendly and checked on us frequently. Complimentary tortilla chips with a special seasoning and queso were brought to the table . I liked the seasoning. There's also a small complimentary condiment and BBQ sauce bar- which included onions, pickles, jalapeños, regular and spicy BBQ sauce. Pickles were nice and appeared home made. I dipped my meats in combos of both sauces, I enjoyed them both. We all ordered the two meat combos $18 with your choice of two sides and served with Texas toast. I ordered the brisket and pulled pork. Both were excellent! The brisket had a nice tiny fatty edge and was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The pulled pork was deelish. Good portion size too. I enjoyed the beans, but the coleslaw not so much. The slaw was bland and had no flavor. Others at my table ordered the tater tots, which were highly seasoned and had a nice crunch. We were so full, had some leftovers for the next day. Great BBQ, great service!
