Absolutely some of the best BBQ I've had in a 30 mile radius. We discovered this by visiting the awesome Riley's Tavern road house on New Year's eve, saw the reviews were solid -- and I'm so excited we tried it! I was in a group of 6, he had plates out in about 10 minutes, and all of our eyes popped out as soon as we tasted it. When he says "legit", he means it. I had the meat sampler with brisket, pulled pork, and jalapeño cheese sausage -- and all three were out of this world. Ate with and without sauce, both supremely satisfying. A rare wonder! Riley's is awesome, this BBQ is awesome, and I can't wait to finish digesting so I can go back again! Thank you!!

I eat a lot of BBQ all across the country. It’s a big reason I live in Texas. When I say this place is legit, I mean it with all of my heart. The food is just phenomenal. The meat has some of the best flavor I’ve tasted. The sandwich was massive and he didn’t skimp on portion size! My only regret about coming here was that I didn’t do it sooner and that I wasn’t hungrier. Give him a shot, you won’t regret it!
If you come on a good day, Texas DPS will put on a free show while you eat.

First and foremost I offer up the disclaimer that my interaction with this business, or rather the lack of, was brokered by a third party (Too Good to Go). Was really looking forward to giving this place a try, but first curveball was pitched: order pickup window delayed by 30 minutes. Okay, no problem, still on my way home and would get there almost perfect timing. Then the second curve ball: I park, start heading up to the window, wake up my phone to get ready to complete the transaction, and instead get greeted with "sorry your order has been cancelled." Wasted my time AND had to figure out a "plan B". Struck out!

Don’t let the look of this place deter you from coming here. The bbq is LEGIT (pun intended). 5 stars. Just as good as Black’s up the road (and cheaper).
I was a little surprised that the owner (a nice guy named Ryan) didn't have any plastic knives, just forks, but then he handed me the brisket, and it was like butter. Fork cut right through it.
$20 for a 3-meat plate. Worth taking a detour for next time you drive through the San Marcos area!
We randomly found this place on google when driving back from Austin. i Got a 2 meat plate with Brisket and Pulled Pork and it came with potato salad. My wife got sausage. First of all these plates were loaded with meat (in my picture i’d already eaten a huge portion of brisket) . Also, it’s by far the best Brisket i’ve eaten in Texas this year. Outstanding stuff. That Potato salad was also pretty on point. Seemed like a pretty cool place to be when its busier because the bar its in front of is a designated historical location. Awesome awesome place

Me and my family are from Houston and came to visit San Marcos, we were at the outlets and got hungry and started to look around for food, I chose this place cause of the reviews and it did not disappoint, I seriously had to get another sandwich cause of how good it was, the smoky flavor was on point, and food was ready in about five minutes. I am so glad we found this place, TOTALLY RECOMMEND!!!

Wonderful! We had blackberry pork grilled cheese and The Big'n, knocked our socks off. Next to a fantastic bar and music venue called Riley's, check them out too!

This little place is tucked away off the beaten path for me, but is a true BBQ gem in New Braunfels! If you've tried all the other usual suspects in town, and they've left you wanting, give this spot a try - I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Definitely some of the best brisket I've had in this city!
