Always a nice quiet stop when we are traveling to see family. Food is wonderful. My favorite is their smoked turkey tho it is all amazing. We have been stopping at different locations for years. When my boys were still little kids( now 24 and 32), they always wanted one of their favorites, the smoked cheese rounds. My husband loves their beans. The sloppy Joe special is a favorite as well. Staff is always friendly and helpful and the restrooms,( and the rest of the place) are spotless.Parking: Parking lot is huge! Plenty of parking for bigger vehicles and those pulling campers and boats.Kid-friendliness: Always a hit with my kids. They love the turkey and smoked cheeseWheelchair accessibility: Easy in, easy out. I saw someone in a wheelchair while there having no problems leaving. Restroom is large as is the handicap stall.

I stopped in to eat lunch , ordered a brisket sandwich and bag of chips, , you can see them fix your meal in front of you. sat down to eat and noticed the buns were stale, so I went back up and asked if I could get sum fresh buns because these are stale. you lady said they were fresh , but after talking to few employees she gave me sum more buns, sat down to eat again, these buns were stale too , so I asked just for sluced bread, and they argued with me , and focused to get me any , so I sat down again to proceed to eat. after bout 3 bites into sandwich, sum tall lanky dude came up to me and asked me what the problem was , so explained bout the buns, he started hollering at me saying the buns are fresh everyday..I told him to fell the buns to see for himself..we had a few words and he liked me out the restaurant..the worst experience ever, I been stopping there for years , but I NEVER will again..CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MANAGEMENT SUCKS.. foid was allways goid til I had stale buns..

On the way out of Texas on Interstate 10 and wanted 1 more taste of Texas BBQ. Right off the exit on of I-20. Staff was helpful and friendly. I asked and they said they were known for -- brisket and ribs -- so that is what I had. Food was great and more than what I could eat. A true Texas BBQ experience.

Everything was great until the time to check out came. The cashier by the name Sierra C walked away from the cash register, so I waited,waited,waited,waited, waited, waited so I decided to ask her if she can help me. She told me wait again at because she wants to count the straw.Hungry and also had 9 hour drive ahead of me. So I waited again, waited again until one of the ladies (server) came and told her that she need cash me out and also the language she was using was inappropriate for the business so because of that I have to give 1 star instead of 4 ?. I enjoyed the food. Great prices . Management need to watch out , this younger woman can slowly drive away your guests.

Nothing is more rude than rushing your customers out the door so that you can go clubbing. "We close at 7:30 and we have to alarm the door at 7:50. Not rushing you". We were not the only customers there.

It was very dry. Price was affordable.. but none of us were full or satisfied. It's truly a bummer since we went a good 20 min out of our way. Would not recommend.

Texas style BBQ. Meats were a tad dryer than I prefer but are tasty and tender. Portions were good. Adequate condiments and a quiet atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level, no stairs.

Ordered a rib sandwich. I got 4 ribs and 2 pieces of bread and a small drink. $17.00. Three of the ribs had very little meat on them. Very disappointed in cost to proportion. Will not be back.

My boys and I enjoyed the BBQ. Prices were reasonable for BBQ, and the portion sizes were good. The Sloppy Jo seems to be the best deal, and was really good. More of a mixed BBQ sandwich than a traditional one.
