My wife and I came to Massey's BBQ for the first time while we were visiting Glen Rose for a…read moreweekend getaway. This restaurant has wonderful space--they have indoor seating and then a separate, HUGE pavilion. We opted for the pavilion because it is dog-friendly. It was perfect--multiple TVs, long bench-style tables for parties of all sizes, a stage for live music, a small bar area, and outside of it, pickleball courts! To eat, I ordered some "Mozzarella Cheese sticks," a "Brisket Sandwich," and a side of "Mac and Cheese." The cheese sticks came out fresh with cheese melted and dangling with every bite as it should. The brisket in the sandwich was moist and tender and the Mac and cheese was also very flavorful and delicious. I topped it off with some sweet tea. The cherry on top for us was the wonderful customer service--a manager/owner came out and spoke with us, asked where we were from and thanked us for coming by. Great hospitality. We had an amazing experience here and would recommend Massey's to anyone!! Can't wait to come back whenever we're in town.

We bought two meat plates and the BBQ potato. The potato was by far the best meal of the day. Nailed it. Portion sizes were great overall! The meat plate BBQ was alright. The issue we had was with the sides. I had mac and cheese and the potato salad. I will say, everything felt and tasted homemade. However, I feel like the chef is trying a little too hard to get authentic flavors. Let the BBQ be the star and give us some old-fashioned mustard potato salad and normal mac. Both of my sides tasted strange. They had a weird aftertaste, kind of sour or old, not sure. I never throw out food, but I didn't take the leftovers with me. My last critique is the actual BBQ sauce. It also tasted original and homemade but seemed to be trying too hard to be different. It almost felt like a tangy, sweet salsa or puree. Keep it simple, or perhaps offer choices between a general sweet traditional BBQ sauce and your homemade version. Giving it 4 stars until we visit and try again.

My wife and I came in for the first time on a Saturday evening, around 6:30 PM. The restaurant was…read morenot busy when we went in and we were able to get sat right away. The restaurant is a decent size, but probably not so great for larger parties (10+). We were greeted right away by our waitress and she was very kind and attentive throughout our entire meal. We were told the restaurant was out of particular menu items, so if you're going later in the day we'd recommend calling beforehand or asking right away. To drink I got myself a "Crown and Coke" and ordered the "Pan Seared Chicken" as my entree. The Pan Seared Chicken was DELICIOUS. The plate consisted of: an 8 oz Airline Chicken Breast, served with mashed potatoes, pearl onions, wild arugula all soaked with a Espelette Beurre Blanc. The seasoning in the chicken was so flavorful and the skin on the chicken was cooked perfectly crispy. The beurre blanc elevated all of the other components of the dish and it left me wanting more. Absolutely delicious. Aside from the delicious food and wonderful service the ambience also contributed to our experience--multiple TVs with sporting events playing and live music on a small stage. Overall we had an amazing experience, highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back if we are ever in the area!!!

We loved the rustic charm and friendly service. I ordered a ribeye which had an excellent flame grilled flavor. Sadly, that was the only thing that had flavor. My Brussels sprouts tasted bland and barely cooked, Mac and cheese wanted to be good, but missed the mark. My wife a wagyu burger that looked like a burger but lacked any flavor. The homemade fries were soggy and squishy. Dessert was a cookie skillet with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate swirl cheesecake. Do you remember having covid where food lost all taste? You knew what you were eating, but tasted nothing? Unfortunately that was our meal . Staff were lovely, peppy and full of joy. Sadly it didn't seep over into the food.

We split the sandwich and some chips and got a bag of the oatmeal raisin cookies to go. Let's talk about this sandwich shall we??? OH, I will be chasing this club sandwich "high" for many a day. I don't know if they cure the meats in house or what, but every ingredient shined. And not least of which was the grilled bread - it was such a perfect foil for the meats. (and I loved that this sandwich let its bread shine on the outside and there was no pesky middle piece of bread like traditional club sandwiches. YUM - I will happily go back here! The decor was very "Texan" too, It is less than a block off the main square and is only barely renovated to fit the new use. There were even two sheriffs at a back table talking business....can't get much more Texas than that!

It is a small operation putting out a high quality product in a small town environment. Everyone that works there is so nice and personable. So we found the place with Yelp and I am a sucker for small bbq places. We walked in and were greeted as we entered the door by two very nice women. They gave us instructions on how the ordering works and told us the Thursday special. Loaded backed potato. We chose the fillings and the meat. It was the tater, dessert and drink for $15. We had seen the size of the potato already and chose to split it, had it made with fatty brisket, and of course a 1/4 lb of sausage. We took our order up to the window and met the namesake of the restaurant, but by we did not know it then. The options in that simple dish was great. Again, fatty brisket, we did sliced on the side, we actually got both jalepeno and cheese, as well as regular smoked sausage. The sweet tea was great, not too sweet, perfect for my tastes. They insisted on carrying the tray out for us. Epic- the brisket was tender, juicy and perfectly smoked. The bark was great, had a touch of spice on the back end. The sausage was perfect. Honestly, I never asked for Bbq sauce, never needed it. The owner came out later, struck up a conversation. Let us know future menu items of which I am looking forward to. The banana pudding was sweet, but good. They are moving in a few days, but just around the corner. I look forward to stopping in again at their new location and new menu items. Just throwing this out as a recommendation for a future option: To go with the real potato fries that you are adding, consider adding fatty brisket on top, cover in shredded cheddar with a little pico and sour cream as well as jalapeños. Just a thought. Good luck!!!
