It kind of has a warehouse feel to it. I'm surprised they don't open the place up on weekend nights for a western themed bar or something. I've seen the same workers in this joint for over a decade, so I'd think it's family owned. They stay busy, so it must be popular. When I'm in town, it's one of the places I visit to get a good lunch for a fair price. Overall, no complaints! Keep up the good work Straight Off The Road BBQ!

We were regulars at Straight off the Road a few years back, but since we moved farther out, we…read morehaven't been here in a while. Today, Momma wanted barbecue, and the places closer to home don't offer indoor dining. Since we were dressed up for Mother's Day, we drove out of the way to come here. I expected a good time. Straight off the Road has always had good vibes, and nothing there has changed. Country music when you come in the door, good service, and authentic feeling decorations. It just feels like home in here-- Texas without all the pretentiousness of fancier places. I was surprised to see the parking lot and the restaurant only half full on Mother's Day, but looking back, I should have known then that something wasn't quite right. Everything went well until I got my plate. I ordered the two meat brisket and sausage, potato salad, and fried okra. The portion was huge-- enough for three people -- but I couldn't enjoy it. The brisket should have been the star, but it tasted like was baked too long in an oven an oven a day or two ago. There was no smoke flavor, and the meat just fell apart. I could have eaten it with a spoon. It was tender, sure, but anybody can do that if you cook it/rest it long enough. The flavor just wasn't there. I'm not sure whether they make their sausage or get it from somewhere outside, but it seemed to be quality stuff before they cooked it. It was coarse ground like I like it with good seasoning. But where was the smoke? The sausage honestly looked and tasted like it was sliced and boiled. I was shocked. The potato salad tasted good, but the texture was all wrong. Everything was chopped up small like it was done in the food processor and there was no love in it. Fried okra is hard to get wrong, but there was nothing particularly right about it either. I was so suspicious about the lack of flavor in my meat that I drove around the back parking lot when we left. There were several racks of neatly stacked firewood, but it was all filled up to the top. Either it had just been delivered, or it's not getting used. I suspect the latter. This is Texas. If you're gonna keep the doors open at a barbecue joint, you have to do better. I love coming to your restaurant, and I hope you get things figured out.

For sides we had fries, Mac n cheese and dirty rice. My potato was loaded, but for some reason my sour cream, cheese and bacon were under the meat. (??). That was a first for me. I like my sour cream cold, but I'm always open to try new things. The BBQ taste honestly tasted a bit too generic for my taste. I also tried a piece of brisket and was sadly disappointed. Normally I grab a piece with decent fat on it, because YUM, to get a flavor boost. It was really bland and had very little bark. It just tasted like it was rushed and seasoning was lacking. It was very juicy and tender, so that's a plus. The dirty rice was decent, the Mac n cheese tasted almost powdery if that makes sense, fries were ok. I have 4 men I feed so I asked them their thoughts, just to be fair in case my taste buds were tainted. I got 3 "meh's" on the brisket and 1"it was ok" They all 3 liked the sausage and rice. They have a very big menu so we won't count them out yet. Will go back again to try something else. Will update then. My husband went in and did say the staff was excellent!
