Loving the freshness and great tasting south Texas flavors. Our new favorite spot! #Htown

We order the three meat como 26 dollars and a ribs plates total i pay 46.82 my opinion kind of expensive. Ribs are really good and brisket too but little greasy. The rice has good flavor the potato soso. Need a little more of bbq sauce on the serving. They accept all kind of payments. Serving was fast. Plates well served.

We made our first visit yesterday and my family loved it! Everything was delicious! My favorites were the brisket & sausage. Definitely earns the title for best brisket in town! And huge serving sizes so you get great value and worth every penny. The owner was so kind and welcoming. Definitely recommend! 😋

First time eating here and did not disappoint. Had the 4 meat deal, jalapeño poppers and the mac and cheese. Must try the mac and cheese.
