Best secret around! The wraps are huge and taste phenomenal! The brisket, turkey and chicken are so tender and seasoned well. The side dishes are amazing, too. At first the price might appear high, but once you see how humongous the wraps are and how delicious everything is, you know you got a great deal indeed. The place is simple, but don't let that fool you. The owner/chef knows how to make you feel that you are her favorite customer. My family loves going to eat at E&S BBQ, truly.

Passed by this little place several times and never stopped but today it was raining ND close to lunch so we decided to stop. We a so glad we stopped the food was great, I had the pulled pork and my partner had the sliced brisket, both sandwiches were Hugh more than we could eat. Definitely recommend you to stop in and just relax and enjoy a BBQ sandwich

Ok first of all we've passed by this place for years and I've wondered how good the food might be so we looked at the reviews and seen nothing but good reviews so we finally decided to stop in and try it out and will never go back my wife and I both got the Tuesday special loaded baked potatoes with a side of Mac and cheese and side of what they call peach cobbler and 2 supposed to be stuffed jalapeños and for starters the potatoes barley had any meat and barley any cheese on them my wife's chicken was over cooked and dry almost like jerky the Mac and cheese had a awful after taste and the jalapeños had a burnt taste and barley had any stuffing in them! Oh and don't get me started on the peach filled bread that only had 2 peach slices in that bowl in the picture I grew up on true peach cobbler my hole life and I'm 39 there is only supposed to be a top crust with cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top but there's has mainly crust with a thin layer of peaches in the middle and it cost us $45 for us 2!

They tried serving us cold food and when we got it, it wasn't good either. The sides were cold and we had to ask the lady to at least put the brisket in the microwave to heat up.

I’ve driven by this place for years not thinking much of it. One day I decided to stop in for lunch and boy was I surprised. It’s a quaint small town bbq joint that has a nostalgic vibe of the late 90s/early 2000s which adds to its charm. I had the Tuesday special of a loaded potato; pictured below (I chose the brisket). The cost to amount of food ratio is great. And the quality of the food was amazing. I will definitely be coming back

Tried this place for the first time today. Wasn't bad. The ribs were real dry even though they fell off the bone. Brisket was good and tender. But I feel it all needs more flavor. Even the green beans had no seasoning.
Looks like people come here to just get takeout. But it is Sunday afternoon between meals.
All in all ok.

We walked in at 3pm. I order brisket and potato salad and beans. The server filled the sides up to the rim of the cups. But then put them on tray and placed on the scales, next he cut the brisket and placed on the scales. I have never seen a VBQ weight the meat like this. So if he pukes the sides high yoy will get less meat?
My husband order a bbq chopped beef and 2 sides; server did the same thing.
My slice brisket was dry and edges were like jerky. The potato salad tasted like it was from Sam's, beans were ok, a lot of raw chili power in them.
Seen this place many times driving back and forth. We will not be stopping again.

Tucked away off a farm-to-market road, this little BBQ spot was an unexpected gem. We stopped by out of convenience and left blown away by the flavor, the perfectly smoked meat, and the warm Texas welcome from Jose. Don’t let its small size fool you—this place delivers big on taste and hospitality. Worth going out of your way for!

Awesome locally owned bbq joint that has a good selection & provides generous portions for a reasonable price. The brisket is moist with great flavor, ribs are fall off the bone tender & the sides are always on point. Friendly staff makes the experience even better. Definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area & have a hankering for BBQ

Brisket- very dry, odd taste. Sausage tasted wierd, potatoes were blah. Very small portions of meat for the price, especially considering the poor quality and taste. Inside smelled like mildew and dust, humid and musty, like an old cheap motel room... do not recommend. I can only guess by the rating, folks options in the area are limited. The lady working there was very nice, unfortunately the food and dining area were not.
