    THE BEST BBQ! The…read morepeople running the place have such a comforting presence! The plating is very well done, you start with picking form options on the screen and meal options as well. At the cutting board, you will make your way down to the self serving beans and several other sides and toppings! You pay and fill your soda of choice. You can make your way to the right entry and there is several seating options inside. Or make your way outside where you see where the delicious meat is smoked. The meat is so tender and made with so much love it is the best comfort food. The potato salad is top tier I recommend 100%

    Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was exactly what you'd expect in a divey, local BBQ joint…read more I had the brisket and sausage (made locally in Kerrville), and my husband had the ribs. Where to begin? None of the meats are seasoned well and they lacked the smoky flavor promised by the stacks of wood outside. I asked if the sides were made in house and was assured they are. The potato salad is, for sure, out of a carton - both the potato texture and flavor made me think of prepared grocery store quality. The cole slaw was fresh, but had no flavor. I had to heavily salt and pepper everything to eat it. Even the beans were straight out of a can. Unfortunately, their homemade sauce didn't make any of it more palatable. It's thin in texture and flavor. Little to no sugar, no cayenne for heat, no vinegar to balance. Just a red sauce that didn't taste anything akin to barbecue sauce. Unfortunately, this was our one chance to try the famous Texas BBQ and my only hope is that it's not indicative of all Texas BBQ.

    I love Camp Wood. Always have. Feels like a second home. The kind of town where the stars shine…read morebright, the river runs cold, and time slows down just enough to appreciate a bite to eat. Now let's talk quesadillas. I'm a man of simple pleasures. A properly done quesadilla is near holy to me. It doesn't need to be Michelin-starred. It just needs to be made with love. I've made plenty myself. Most look like crime scenes but all taste like comfort. That's the standard. So when I dropped $15 for a quesadilla and chips, no drink, I expected to be floored. In a town like this? That's bold pricing. That's Dallas energy. But the truth? My socks stayed firmly on. The quesadilla was fine. Melted cheese, thin tortilla, a bit of steak and salsa. But not $15 fine. And when the price punches that high, the flavor has to hit harder. This one came out like a featherweight. Here's what carried the stars: The staff. Sweet as pie, welcoming, and fast. If I was rating people, this would be a 5-star joint. But I'm rating the plate, and that brings it down to a solid 3. Would I come back? Probably. But next time I'll bring a drink, lower my expectations, and remind myself the real meal in Camp Wood is the peace and quiet.

    Amazing service and food! We came in to town for the weekend and we drove past this spot on the…read moreway in and made plans to eat there during our stay. Amazing selection of food. The veggie a quesadillas were SOOOO good! Pizza was some of the best we've ever had. Salads were so fresh. My husband said the spicy cream corn was phenomenal. We will be back on our next visit! 10/10.

    It has been a few years since we have been here. Still great outside place. Full bar now. Only…read morepizza, bar and beer until summer starts. (didn't summer start in February when it was 99?). We had a very good margarita. Looking forward to the summer menu. New owners.

    Sadly, this place was a disappointment. We went solely for food. We specifically wanted burgers,…read morebut the burger serving spot was closed. The main bar spot happens to serve coal fired pizza though so we decided to give it a try. All their pies on the menu sounded good and my wife picked one minus a balsamic drizzle that was given to us on the side. She also ordered some garlic knots. The food arrived pretty quick and looked good, but maybe a little too toasty. Turned out that too toasty was right. They apparently must have had their heat on too high because the garlic knots were definitely burned and could have used a lot more garlic flavor. The char taste won over the garlic. The pizza was a little over toasted on the outside, but still needed some cooking in the middle. We hungrily ate half, but the rest went with us and ended up in the trash and we ALWAYS eat leftover pizza, even cold! And even from gas stations! The $50 price tag with 2 alcoholic drinks definitely wasn't worth it. Great atmosphere and nice people though. Nice place for a drink with friends and your pups. Skip the grub though.
