One of the 2019 Texas Monthly interim top 25 'cue joints-- and still worthy of a spot today! This was our 98th BBQ stop in Texas, and the 397th on a 35 state BBQ odyssey. $25.71 purchased a quarter pound of fatty brisket, a jalapeno cheddar sausage link, sides of elote (cold) and jalapeno apple coleslaw, with two refillable iced teas. Everything was top notch. The well-smoked brisket featured the classic central Texas rub, and was so buttery that you could cut it with a fork. The sausage was beautifully balanced, and both sides paired well with the meats; indeed, we judged the coleslaw a “must do” side. In sum, this is what we style “destination 'cue.” Just be sure to check their facebook page to guarantee that they will be opening as scheduled (they also cater).Parking: Gravel approach from the highway to a gravel parking lot.

Brisket, ribs and jalapeño cheddar sausage were all excellent. Their take on elotes is different than most but really good. Service was very friendly and even they even offer a discount for military. I guess my one complaint would be that the beans were not ready yet (I got there just as they were opening).

Order a brisket sandwich no sauce and the sandwich was perfect. The brisket was moist good bark and flavor. I ordered a side of the beans for an additional charge but well worth it. Looking forward to trying out the other items on the menu. Will be back!

High quality bar-b-que, extreme quality and value, and sausage that is sublime. It's a family affair and you can taste the love in their food. You can sit outside or in a very cozy and clean casita next to the truck. Portions are big, sides are well considered. And all of was technically perfect. They know their way around a brisket and perfected just about everything else down to the home made pickles. Under $35 for two big eaters to get their fill here. That's in direct opposition to the $100 I spent last week at another well known shop.

I have tried their bbq twice and both times I gave it a 5 out of 5. Delicious. I will go back again. Maybe today?

The turkey sandwich was super moist and delicious! We also got the corn salad and the best thing was eating those with the Fritos. 10/10 would recommend!

Food was absolutely amazing! Had the brisket and sausage for lunch. Easily some of the best bbq I’ve had.

Thomas Geier

This place is amazing! The service was very prompt, polite, and well carried out. The food is some of the best barbecue I have had in this area in a long time! I had brisket, sausage, and their sides of street corn and potato salad. There wasn't a single thing on the plate I did not love. Worth the trip!
