I would say BBQ restaurants have evolved a lot, especially in the last 10 years. It is becoming harder and harder to find one that sticks to good ole' fashion pit BBQ where the beef is solely allowed to shine. Come to this place if you know what I'm talking about. I had a sampler of ribs, sausage, and brisket. Smoke rings were spot on, ribs had a nice pull and the wonderful irregular texture that true Texas ribs should have. Fat content on the brisket was just right. Enough to make it moist, but not too much where it takes away the fact that it is brisket. Sides were great as well. I would recommend the fried Okra and Potato Salad. Ambiance is truly authentic Texas, not manufactured corporate.

Wow! Best barbecue I’ve had in a LONG time! Got the chopped sandwich and cole slaw. Huge portions, super service with character. Wish I lived near here!

Title: Disappointing Experience with Terrible ServiceI recently had the displeasure of experiencing one of the worst services ever at Hill Country BBQ. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that customer satisfaction was not a priority. The lady who attended to us was downright rude and seemed completely disinterested in helping also mentioned that the only meat she had it was brisket but with a really bad attitude .Not only was her attitude appalling, but the service itself was subpar. We encountered numerous issues with the service , which were met with indifference and excuses rather than attempts to rectify the situation. It was frustrating and disappointing to say the least.Overall, I would strongly advise against patronizing Hill Country BBQ. The combination of poor service and unprofessional staff makes for an utterly unpleasant experience. Save yourself the trouble and seek out alternatives where your business is actually valued.

We arrived very excited to try their traditional BBQ food but the bad attitude stopped me when the girl told me how annoyingly that she only had brisket and that she no longer had chicken or turkey. And we left. I can't be where they treat me badly!!!!!

Best dang BBQ in the world. The flavor and hospitality at hill country is unmatched. Usually I sauce up my bbq but the brisket didn’t need anything. Dan is the man and was happy to show us around the pit

20/10!If Hospitality and BBQ had a baby, it would be called Hill County BBQ. It was exactly the Texas experience that I needed and surpassed all expectations. Thank you Dan for the delicious meal, the sweet serenade and your kindness. I'm coming back for more!

Just keep driving down 6 into Hempstead and grab bbq there. Absolutely no flavor , owner made us extremely uncomfortable by dragging us into a small room and placing his hands on my husbands shoulder. Then asking if we’d play the guitar with him. First time stopping and last

Food is wonderful! We had the ribs, brisket, potato salad and mac n cheese, everything was good! We were there on a day they had the banana pudding, which was also wonderful! Staff was very friendly!
I just stopped and got a chopped beef sandwich to eat on the road. A lot of places take all the scraps and put them into the chopped beef sandwich which I like plenty good cuz then you get some inside outside stuff this place sliced off some brisket chopped it all up and put sauce over it hot and it was juicy and probably one of the best I've ever had so I'll have to go back and have the whole dinner but if you can judge a place from their sandwich is totally awesome five star quality. It's easy to miss because it's down below the highway look for the tall electrical Tower and it's directly across the street from the electrical Tower
