Between the 4 of us we got the brisket, 2 kinds of sausage, ribs and various sides. The ribs were way too salty, almost inedible. The sausage and brisket were OK. The coleslaw was the best part of the meal. We will not go back.

What a find! Great chopped beef sandwich with a choice of spicy or regular bbq sauce. Fries were cooked to perfection. Yum! Worth the stop just south of Greenville. Friendly staff, very inviting atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Great small spot brisket is so good. Ribs and turkey breast are good. I like green beans n other greens with my bbq only thing I didn’t see but great
Small place that stays busy. My first time here and def will not be my last. I ordered a lot since it was my first time as I like to get an overview of the restaurant in general so here how it went sown. Ordered: jalapeno,cheese sausage, rib basket, brisket, a stuffed bacon cream cheese pepper, some ham, turkey, and a riblet basket. Tried the Mac and cheese , french fries, and a loaded potato casserole thing. Tried the spicy and non spicy sauce. Here is my take on it.1. Brisket has a decent smoke ring but not overly smoked and a good pull to it. Flavor was good as well. I liked it2. Stuffed Jalapeno was good but had better but by no means a bad jalapeno. I ate the thing and would order it again. ( Would like a little stronger smoke on the bacon is all).3. Jalapeno cheese sausage was good and while not a stand out still good and would order it again.4. Ribs I tried was something I think for me I did not like the spice profile of it and was a little hard on the pull. This I think while was decent I personally would not order it again.5. Ham at first I thought this does not look like it was smoked but after trying it, it was smoked and actually much better than I anticipated. Would order again6. Smoked turkey, this was really good the flavor on it was on point. Def order again.7. Riblets, a clear surprise of my meal and this is something that this alone would keep me coming back for. For the price it's hard not to add this as a side to my plate of whatever I'm ordering. (Hats off on this one, it was way above my anticipation and my runaway favorite).8. Mac and cheese. Tasted homade and was really good.9. The tater casserole thing. Yup I liked it more than I thought and definitely would order again .Requests to owners. May I ask you think about either burnt ends, or pork belly burnt ends. I feel if you did them in the spice profile of the riblets they would be a huge success. Just my two cents.If you have not been here, please go try them out. There is a reason it says since 1948.Thanks for the meal and will be back.

This is one of the best kept secrets in Texas for amazing BBQ. They make their own special recipe sauce, and it is my favorite BBQ sauce of anywhere. The Ernies' basket (chopped brisket sandwich and fries) is my go to dish. I have had many loaded baked potatoes from Ernies, and you will be overjoyed by the serving size.
