For the most part, these guys do a good job. It’s a pretty awesome experience to stand in line and bathe in that pecan smoke that Bellows out of that tiny little building. I wish they would take cards as a form of payment. It is very inconvenient, as a lot of people don’t readily carry cash. So it’s a true
effort to go and support them.

This is a cash only business. so be prepared. Today I was a bit shocked because I have been coming here for over 10+ years however I didn’t have a good experience today for the first time. My ribs were over cooked as if the were cooked the previous day they were no where near fresh the beans didn’t even taste the same. I’m very disappointed my kids could have eaten the two plates I ordered and then some it wasn’t enough. I don’t care about to price. Today it was the quality that makes me feel like I should never return again I also left a tip.

I actually tried them for the first time. I wasn't disappointed. Ribs were delicious and flavorful and chopped brisket was good as well.
I will try sliced brisket next time. The ribs for sure was a win,win
I grew up on BBQ from east texas and this is how good bbq taste.
The bbq from Dickies, Spring Creek and other big chain bbq spots isn't real southern country bbq taste.

Found this place on Instagram, its not all the hype. It might have been the place to go back in the day, but its not now. It should have closed when all original parties either retired or died off . More smoke flavor in the meat than there is flavor, whatever company they out source the potato salad from they need to choose a new vendor and they should take beans off the menu all together. The white bread was the star of the show. This is so low on the scale I can't even justify rating it.

First time trying this place.
I ordered the 3 meat plate and for $17 it was a lot of food. I made the mistake of ordering two plates when one was more than enough for two people (we aren't big eaters).
I'm not a big smoked meats eater but the brisket was tender and the sausages were juicy!
Go with cash as they do not accept cards or electronic wallets.
Go early as it can get busy and you have to wait at least 15 minutes with a fairly lite crowd.

Can we get more stars above? 5 is not enough for this place & the owner(s), family & employee's!!!
That was probably the BEST SLICED BRISKET that I have ever put in my mouth. It was cooked to perfection. Just the right amt of smoke from cooking. Most places over do it & you find yourself belching it for 3+days. They do know what they are doing. It was fantastic!!! Melted in your mouth. And the BBQ sauce.... OM! They have 4 or 5 heat levels. I had em' put it on the side & I tried hot (not extra) & mild (not extra) & both were delicious! I was putn' it on my sandwich & eatn' it w/a spoon out of the container at the same time! And the people in there preparing, owner, wife, son & the rest of the crew were TOP NOTCH! The absolute sweetest people you'll probably ever meet!!!!
Thank you guys for the food you prepare/serve/sale, your hard work, your smiles, the friendliness & love in your hearts. Its is so appreciated & welcomed in today's world. Sure wish the world was full of people like ya'll. May God Bless each & every1 of you. I 'WILL' be back! Bj

After waiting for 40+ minutes the food was, at best, edible. The ribs were small and all gristle and so overdone I think they were left over from the previous day. I threw them in the trash when I got home. And how does it take 40+ minutes to carve half a slab of ribs that are already cooked? It should have taken 3 minutes.

There is nothing better in Texas. This is hands down the real deal. Tasty, moist, flavorful... Arrive early because they sell out every day for a reason.
