“We stopped by Spirit of Texas Craft Barbecue, located near Arrow Highway and Bonnie Cove, for an early Sunday lunch. We arrived around 11:30 a.m. and decided to make a meal of it.

Today, we tried two of their combo platters, featuring tri-tip and pulled pork. Both came with a side, and we each chose the potato salad. We also grabbed a couple of drinks to round out the meal.

The tri-tip and pulled pork were both delicious, and the potato salad was a great complement to the barbecue.

Everything tasted fresh and homemade, which is exactly what you hope for when visiting a family-owned barbecue restaurant.

One thing I really appreciate about Spirit of Texas is its authenticity. This is a small, family-owned establishment that has been serving the community for years. I was actually here 30 years ago, and remarkably, the place hasn't changed much. They still make their food themselves rather than relying on someone else's kitchen. You can taste the care that goes into what they serve.

I also love their sign explaining that they're open until a certain time or until they run out of food. That tells you everything you need to know. When the food is gone, they're done for the day. It's a good reason to get there early!

There's plenty of parking, including designated ADA parking spaces. There are also signs throughout the lot reminding visitors that parking is for customers only, apparently due to past issues.

If you're looking for authentic, freshly made barbecue from a small family-owned business, I highly recommend making the trip to Spirit of Texas Craft Barbecue.

Come hungry, arrive early, and enjoy a great meal at a local institution!“
