Just don't. This was a Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joint in 2013, but when they fall, they fall hard. Ribs were tasteless and barkless - seemed boiled and grilled. Brisket was mealy and not tender. No snap on sausage and weak flavor. Not sure any of the meat was cooked last night/today. Beans weird and served cold. Potato salad seemed Sysco-provided. The sauce was pedestrian. I ate what I ate because I was hungry and had paid for it, but stopped eating and left half the meal.
The porch eating area is a good idea ... lots of stuff to look at, but everything is worn and dusty. The guy at the order window (the owner?) is super friendly and personable.

Good food. Little expensive.
Not good at posting hours and adhering to a schedule. Call before you go.

This place is definitely off the beaten path but food was amazing and priced very fair. Portions where big. If you decide to venture here bring your appetite.

Food was to die for especially the 3 plate barbecue plate. I got the pork ribs, brisket, and sausages and they were amazing. The employees were also amazing as they were very welcoming and walked around to make sure everything was okay which was awesome. Overall, it was a great experience with even better food.

Awesome place - love the decor and the people were
Billy Ray fried my Christmas turkey and smoked our ham. Both were excellent. We had BBQ sandwiches waiting for our ham to finish, and they were great, too.
Great Food, Great People, Great Atmosphere and good prices. What more could a soul ask for?Well there’s the idyllic country location just off the farm to market road running through Livingston. And there is all the quaint and unique antiques/ junk that over abundantly adorn the place.The BBQ rates right up there with the best of Texas BBQ. Although, as I try to keep my diet low-carb, I found the bbq sauce and the baked beans to be a bit too sweet for my taste. However, I assume I’m probably in the small minority with that opinion.The burgers over at the table next to me also look quite appealing.

Delicious! Will definitely be back. The brisket was great! I'm not huge on beans that are on the sweet side, but honestly, they're the best baked beans I've ever had!
