I made my second trip to David’s BBQ on (11/13/25) around 2:pm. I took my 3meat plate and my Sausage sandwich to go. I took a friend (who absolutely loves BBq) for her first time. BTW: she loves Spg Crk.… she took one bite of the okra and the ribs; and instantly abandoned her favorite bbq joint and has now moved her bbq membership to David’s BBq in Pantego. The customer service is the best, from the front door and out every staff member is friendly and accommodating. The food is hot and made with care. The food is fresh and the served portions are worth every dollar and is reasonably priced. I have many bbq enthusiasts in my circle and I plan to send everyone here to try this bbq. This is worth the stop. Hope to see you there. (And nope, these people don’t know me and I don’t know them.) however; anything that one finds good, in the world should be shared. ** rated atmosphere 4 (only because the inside has an older out dated look) absolutely no other reason.

My girlfriend kept telling me this is the best barbecue place in the area. Should have eaten there now a couple of times and it has been excellent. Last time I had the ribs and they were really meaty and had some left over for breakfast.

First time visiting David's on the recommendation of someone who is well known in the BBQ community. Very welcoming and friendly staff. They answered my questions regarding the menu and offered suggestions. Definitely felt like a family-owned/operated small business. I kept my order simple and went with the sliced brisket sandwich with two sides (baked beans and fries). I should have taken a photo of the sandwich as it was piled HIGH with both flat and point slices of brisket. So much so that the bun was holding on for dear life trying to contain it. I didn't have a scale, but I'm estimating it was around 12oz (3/4lb) of brisket. THANKS to the guys slicing and constructing this massive sandwich. Value for price paid ($17.80 including sides and a beverage) was definitely 5 stars! Brisket had a relatively decent bark and was very tender.....very little to no pull but also did not fall apart. The brisket itself was very moist and not chewy; however, the bark was slightly bland and could've been helped with a more generous distribution of dry rub prior to the smoke. A minimal amount of the house made BBQ sauce helped the sandwich. It was not overly sweet and had a good vinegar base. The baked beans seemed very similar to a standard canned version. Not impressive, but good nonetheless. The fries were fresh cut and cooked to order.....paired well with the brisket sandwich. I was close to giving 4 stars for Food category; however, the combination of the slightly bland brisket and the baked beans was causation for 3 stars. The friendly service paired with the portions is reason enough to add David's to your local BBQ places to visit.

I enjoyed the conversation I had with the staff about my home city and the knowledge they had about it. The bbq was great with really good flavor, good potato salad and beans. A little hole in the wall vibe that makes you feel at home. I will definitely be back when I visit the city again.

Had a brisket sandwich for lunch. It was smontrous and delicious i was able to break it down into 2 meals. 💣💥💯
We came from out of town and I literally went by the reviews. I’m so disappointed. There was no seasoning whatsoever on any of the meat and the potato salad is very vinegary and the baked beans were so basic like it came from a can. The French fries had no salt whatsoever. When it comes to Texas you think a bbq place especially one advertising it’s been there since 1910 you think it would be the real deal. I guess Texas bbq is only good on tv.we initially were thinking of dining in but the place looks very run down. The staff were amazing and very friendly. But the food is below 1 star

I arrived about 7:30 pm on a Wednesday. You go through a service line. Had Sausage sandwich and two sides. Very generous portion of Sausage, fries and Okra. Sausage was luke warm at best. Should have taken sandwich back and gotten something else or Sausage that was warm French Fries were great plus huge portions. Had soft ice cream for dessert which was free. Will try the place again

The barbecue and pork chops here are delicious and the portions are large enough that we can have two meals.
