Not impressed. The only plus was the cheap(er) price... But there's a reason why.Brisket was dry, and there wasn't enough on the sandwich. My buddy and I think the beans and potato salad are straight from HEB.Baked potato wasn't worth finishing but they did dump a bunch of meat on it, unfortunately it just tastes gross. Would not recommend.

Great spot. I stopped hungry for ribs and was disappointed they didn't have them. The pulled pork and sausage were delicious though!

I came here to see what the big hype was about at work. They only take cash though so watch out. I had the big stuffed potato with the brisket whatever the meat this is a warning to people who are not used to rich food be careful I am facing the consequences of rich food but it was really yummy My body is not used to in this type of food because I have eating disorder so it just might meet me and my body but it was so rich I got sick but it was yummy at the same time thank you . If you have kids sizes I'll definitely take that next time.

Cash only? Hmmm. Buns are cold and dry - right out of the plastic bag. I didn't see a bathroom. Outside seating only. I didn't see an a/c inside, just two evaporative water blower units. The customers - many of whom are construction workers walking up for a quick meal - clean up after themselves. BBQ on bun has an odd and substandard taste, definitely not delicious. An owner wasn't happy when I asked for a side of complimentary BBQ sauce. This is basically a food stand with a hard place to sit, eat, and watch and hear the busy 620 traffic. Owners have made high profits for decades with this cheap, very low overhead, cash only setup. My wife and I will not return.

Great place for breakfast sausage egg potato tacos, and the chopped sandwich is very good. Very fair prices. To go windows to order, some picnic tables nearby to sit. Cash only.

Friendly owner, good briskets, could use less BBQ sauce in the chopped beef. Overall, I enjoyed it every time I went.

My go to bbq joint. Everything is great. My favorite is the chopped beef. Best I've ever found!

old time Austin... the chopped beef is amazing... I love their fajitas, too... but the chopped beef... my only gripe is that I no longer live within 5 minutes of them, so now to satiate my cravings I have to drive 30 minutes - which I regularly do... for the chopped beef

Brisket is bland. Really bland. Beans are too sweet. The bread on the sandwiches was dry and hard. Potato salad was okay. The bbq sauce has a good taste but it's very watery. The guy that made my order has a long beard not covered by a hair net. On top of that, they only take cash so I had to go find an ATM and pay fees on that. I don't know who's giving them more than one or two stars, but those people either have covid or their taste buds have been dead for years. If you like flavorless food, this is the place for you, but I won't be back.
