Super yummy. Really attentive service especially considering this is not a typical sit down type restaurant. All around good authentic Texas bbq :-)

Don't let the appearance of this restaurant stop you from ordering from them. It doesn't look like much but they have some fantastic BBQ.

Best BBQ in SA that I've had so far!I've tried a lot of BBQ here in Sa, and am always disappointed, but this was some incredible BBQ!The chopped brisket was very flavorful, the sausage was really good, and the chicken Quarters were juicy, cooked perfectly and has great flavor as well!I love supporting local, and this place is exactly why! The service was great, very polite and efficient.If I could give them more than 5 stars I would, and I can't wait to go back again!

This place is a perfect example why you never judge a book by its cover. This place is serving what I considered some of The Best BBQ I've ever had . Hope these folks can hold on for the long haul cause their BBQ is gonna sell. Servings were huge for the low price to boot.

The brisket is good. Tender and juicy as brisket should be.The sausage is phenomenal. Great taste with tons of flavor. I even used some for breakfast sandwiches, and it turned out great.The outlaw potato is my favorite and has tons of brisket, sausage, and cheese on it.The service is always good as the staff is genuinely friendly, so no quarrels there.The place has a decent amount of outside seating, but no tables inside.I would definitely recommend this place and make sure you are ready for a nap afterwards.

The food is absolutely fantastic.The place, however, looks badly rundown. Water damage from a leaky roof on lots of ceiling panels inside; scuffed up floor; no tables inside; the tables outside are mostly unusable (could be a seasonal thing, or a post-COVID holdover; I don't know); the driveway around the property (especially around the back) is rather shabby. It seems most people just order everything to go, and eat it elsewhere.Which is all a shame, because judging this place by its appearance, it'd be very easy to nope out and go elsewhere - and miss out on the actually, genuinely great food. We ordered a 3-meat (pulled pork; brisket; ribs) "plate" and a sausage "plate". I say "plate" in scare quotes because both were served (along with sides) in polystyrene segmented to-go containers. Anyway, all the meats were, without exception, amazing. The sides were also all well prepared and satisfying. Presentation, of course, was of a very much to-go kind...TL;DR this place will turn off those who look for style along with or ahead of substance; but for those who are looking for substance and authenticity above all, this place really, really delivers.

Okay so let's be honest. This place is fire! ??? 1 brisket is on point. I love the smoked barbecue chicken. The brisket is very moist and tender. And the sausage is really really good. The barbecue sauce is great, I really enjoy going here from time to time to get some brisket sausage and chicken, the ribs are good too just a solid all-around good barbecue joint. Nothing negative to say about it! Check out my empty plate!

It was my first time in Texas and was looking for some great BBQ. This was by far the best BBQ I have had. Chris’s son was kind and made sure we had the best experience. I will definitely be going back for my next visit!
