The barbecue was phenomenal although they were out of brisket when we got there. Sides were great. Carrot Dip Dip is fantastic.
Some things to note: -There is no indoor seating and the outdoor seating lacks shade. -They do not have ice, so if you are getting water with your meal, expect it to be hot. You may want to order a drink rather than getting water so that it’s cold. -The dill pickles are more like bread and butter pickles, not true dills. -The staff is super nice and helpful, but with as busy as this place gets, things can be a bit slow.

LOLLLZZZZ!!! 4.8. This is the BEST BBQ in the state, possibly anywhere. Too bad there isn't a 6 rating to offset the novice "food critics" CW tha Bomb!

This secrete in Marfa is a must!!! Plan your trip to Marfa that you can dine there. The BBQ is some of the best, and my husband and I consider Snows and Franklins our favorite. This little secrete goes toe to toe. The Brisket melted in our mouth and the boudin links were fantastic. I must say the sweet potato salad was so fresh.They are finalists for James’s Beard Award to be announced in June. This young couple deserves this win. Fingers crossed

Coming from someone in Houston, this was the best BBQ. The sweet potato salad is a must, I'm still thinking about it, maybe share the recipe haha? Thanks for having us!

Delicious food, loved the adventure bowl and the tri tip salad was good (but I recommend the hot meat!). Hearty and fresh. Outdoor seating only, no heaters
Tammy A Shepherd
Unbelievable brisket burger and tacos!!! super friendly staff, nice outdoor dining. Highly recommend.
Michael Horne
What? No brisket? Wasn’t even on the menu, which was a shocker since all the reviews bragged about it, and the reason we spent our 1 dinner there while in Marfa. Tri-tip was just ok, but it’s a poor meat choice for bbq. Where’s the brisket?!. Sauce provided was just ok. Dip dip was tasty. Potato salad sweet and surprisingly tasty. Cornbread was outstanding. All outdoor seating which is nice, but it looked like they had indoor seating that they weren’t using - prob fear from Covid days, but I think we’re past that. Seems our expectations were too high. 4 stars is generous by Texas BBQ standards.

Fantastic bbq dinner last night with 2 different favours of ribs. The curried beans and sweet potatoe salad were fantastic. The flavour highlight for me were the collards, a little tart, a little sweet and all around delicious. Service was fast and cordial. Folks in the line up were friendly and happy to chat with us tourists. Seating was all outside so bundle up. Lots of paper towel at the tables so dig in and enjoy.

My co-adventurer and i made plans specifically to include where to eat and on what days to maximize our experience from Austin region to wrstTx, and No I didn't spell that wrong. Marfa. To a town that could use a little pick me up... here's a thought... Try showing up when you say you will be available on the world wide web. Because guess what, people travel from all over and actually read references from influences across the globe and most importantly the state. To be nominated for a James Beard award and not be current with your street or door advertising compared to your World Wide Web is not only a gross misuse of your popularity but also the www.
