My picky 22 year old pork connoisseur 12 year gobbled it all up. 5 stars - Brisket: tasty with a bit char and smoke flavor. 4 stars - Mac and cheese: on the lighter side being not too cheesy or creamy but decent flavor in the large corkscrew noodles. 3.5 stars - Pork rib: very tasty not much meat 3.5 stars - Can do a combo of 2 meats - Doirdashable: sometimes only subpar places are available. Midlights: - Green beans: just ok and big mooshy but think that's standard in Texas - No fries in DoorDash Lowlights: - Didn't get the chance to enjoy the ambience or great service people talk about since we got delivery. Had a solid lunch delivered and would be happy to order from there again--or visit next time.

Decided to give Big Fred's BBQ a try since I was in Selma to get gas at the Costco. They are…read morelocated on the I-35 frontage road right past Evans Road and before Retama. They are open Wednesday through Saturday. A nice couple in the food truck helped me out. They have a large menu of meats and said they had all the meats on the menu today. I opted for the two meat combo with brisket and turkey. Had green beans and mac & cheese as my sides. Some of the best sauce in the area. I could have used another serving. Not overly sweet and may have included mustard. Brisket was good, but not great. It really needed more smoking time to get a thicker smoke ring and cold have benefitted by more bark. The turkey was tasty and had a good smoke flavor. The green beans were cooked with bacon and seasoned with pepper. I liked the flavor, but the beans were too mushy for me. I wish they used fresh green beans. The mac and cheese was very good. Nice and creamy with a good cheese flavor.

Seems like they don't really care to provide quality food. It's always cold like it was heated up from the day before, they're skimpy with the meat & it just doesn't hit the same. Even the portions have gotten WAAAY smaller. Service is still great but definitely won't be spending money on their bbq anymore. Every time we go get food for probably the last 7-10 trips, it gets worse & worse. Really disappointing because this place used to be TOP NOTCH.

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.

I ordered the pulled pork combo with Mac and cheese on the side. My husband ordered the brisket plate with a side of Mac and cheese and potato salad and a Sweet tea. We also ordered and pulled pork combo to go for our son. To me the pulled pork was okay. I think it needed more bbq sauce maybe. It was hard to tell what it was missing. You do have to pay extra for extra bbq sauce. We got the sweet bbq sauce an it was okay. I wasn't a fan of the Mac and cheese, I felt it needed some seasoning. The potato salad was good. My husband got the brisket and said it was a little chewy. He didn't like sweet tea, and said it had a weird taste. The food wasn't bad, it's just I had high expectations because of the what I have heard about how good it was. However, I did go when it was about an hour to closing so maybe that had something to do with it. I might try it again.

Next time I'd be tempted to get the sweet corn instead of the potato salad. I also ordered a sweet tea, which was GIANT and delicious lol. My bf got the pulled pork sandwich (always his fave item to get at any BBQ place), and it was a stand out! The pulled pork was so fatty and umami, I thought it had butter!

Tonight's special was burnt ends, leg quarter, mac & cheese and potato salad for $12. And he is doing brisket for $20 for a limited time. The burnt ends are my favorite. That bark is great and it's tossed in his sweet hot BBQ sauce. Not burn your momma hot, but just right. The chicken was smokey and tender. The brisket slices were tender and moist with a nice smoke ring. So good dipped in a little sauce. The macaroni is Texas-sized shells with a creamy cheese sauce. And the potato salad was made with cubed potatoes that had just the right firmness with a tasty mayo mustard dressing. The portion sizes on the $12 plate were better than any restaurant I have visited for more cost. Had a good time talking to the pitmaster about what he smokes, his smoker, and the wood he uses. A really nice guy we need to support.

Moist and tender meat, but a surprisingly crispy bark that was full of flavor. I'm not a big sauce person and the sandwich did not need it. I did try it on a bite and it was actually pretty good. Sweet with a slight bit of heat. Baked potato speaks for itself. The size alone was well worth it. Chopped brisket was tasty and was a perfect compliment to a dressed potato. I was looking forward to some pork ribs, but they had sold out within the first 30mins. I'm sure it's a testament to how good they are.

Today we happened to be driving to Natural Bridge Caverns and saw this place on the side of the road and decided that we'd drop in to try it out after walking a mile underground. That was a great decision. It's a small place, but there were plenty of tables available (and several people in there having a late lunch/early dinner, too) and the service was on-point. Not too present, not too absent, and very approachable. We got an order of chips and salsa to start and for us, we don't mind paying for chips and salsa. But make it worth it. And this definitely was. The server brought us a big basket of chips and a cup of salsa that we barely put a dent in. It was more watery than we prefer but the flavor was amazing. The chicken was perfect: flavorful, moist, and plenty of it. The charro beans were delicious, and the rice was, too. Literally zero real complaints here. We saw, we ate, we conquered. The price was very fair for the portions, and we told ourselves that we deserve to come back here again. Looking forward to the next time!

Meat Jun (Korean egg-battered beef, so tender), Chicken Katsu (crispy panko perfection), Kalua Pig (that smoky island vibe), garlic shrimp, loco moco, teri chicken, Spam musubi. Big portions, perfect rice, legit mac salad every time. No watered down "Hawaiian inspired" nonsense. Every bite is the real island deal. Hawaii local food is that old school plantation days multicultural mix. Japanese, Filipino, Portuguese influences and more, all blended by Hawaii's cultures. Not strictly indigenous Hawaiian food. Service is family style aloha. Owner and staff super warm, welcoming, full of pride. You feel it in every plate. Portions huge, wait's worth it for the hype (call ahead, brah). As kamaʻāina visiting, this hits home hard. Straight comforting. If you're from Hawaiʻi traveling through, or don't know Hawaii local food but want the real old school plantation days multicultural deal (not pineapple ham pizza), make the drive. Closest thing to home out there. My San Antonio go-to. 5 stars, no cap. Returning every trip!
