Super old school cool barbecue joint. Ribs, brisket, sausage were all amazing. Super friendly owners and reasonable prices compared with the “big name” joints down the road in Lockhart. Highly recommend taking the extra 5 mins outside Lockhart to give them a try. You won’t be disappointed or leave hungry.

We stopped at this local restaurant on 11/09/25 and got some Brisket, Ribs, Chicken, and Sausage. All of the items were very good. This is a no frills place but the BBQ is the best around.

Took the grandkids to eat and the food was great! Got brisket, pork ribs and a sausage link. Didn’t break my wallet like some places. The service was very friendly and not long of a wait. Highly recommend coming out if you want great food at a great price. Also has an ice cream shop next door!

I was a little lost and stopped here to ask for directions and water. I apologized in advance because I was just going to ask to use the restroom, but there was nobody inside, and this place looked so cool, I forgot about the bathroom. I only had a few bucks on me, so I tried a piece of chicken. It was a smoked quarter. It's so hard to find real smoked chicken in Austin. I have to come back to try the brisket. That's why the review and pics. I don't want to forget this place. The atmosphere was so dope to me so I took pics. I'm a city kid from up north. We definitely don't have anything like this where I'm from. I highly recommend you stopping here if you're passing through. He said they are only open on the weekends for now, so don't miss the chance if you're passing through Maxwell on a Saturday or Sunday.

Off the main road, but well worth the stop. If you like crispy brisket bark this is your place. Get the ribs and some fresh daily sausage. Spicy sauce too!
The staff takes pride in their food and service.

Hidden gem. Old fashion bbq place. Very friendly staff cooking very good bbq. Sausage and brisket are good , but the ribs are outstanding. will definitely be coming back.
This is not your typical fancy bbq place. This rustic old beauty with real Texas spirit. Cozy and family like. Sometimes not extremely clean, sometimes with no veggies, but always great meat, like your beloved grand ma house. Sausage is great, not greasy. Good brisket. Be aware that there are not a lot of options for side dishes. Authentic interior.

Their food here is amazing⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & another perk, they have an old school jukebox that works!! Has hits from Chente, Ramón Ayala, so many more. Same jukebox as the one in Treból in Chicago.

Definitely the best BB-Q in the Lockhart area, sausage is out of this world, brisket was so tender and tasty and the ribs are just perfect. Great people, great food. I think I found the hidden gem.
