HOLY COW... immaculate meats and hearty sides. Proper Texas BBQ. Bit of a drive but worth every second.

Clean place, great barbecue, and very reasonable prices. The food was delicious and everyone in our family enjoyed it. Seating was comfortable and the atmosphere was welcoming. The owner was incredibly kind and even gave our kids T-shirts, which made the experience extra special. We’ll definitely be back.

Omg! I smelled flavor the minute I walked through the door!! Having zero decent bbq places in Ruidoso NM, I was cravin’ some good ol! TX Bbq and I certainly found the right spot! Holy smokes. The pit master must have bbq running deep in his veins. It was moist and so tender. Barely had to chew it. The side of pintos were saucy with just the right amounts of spices. My pallet is super sensitive to flavors and the combination on the cowboy corn, sliced brisket and beans were just fantastic. I love reviewing places that have character. Down home. Easy. And most of all, about the best BBQ in Texas. I seriously mean that. I was from San Antonio back in the day. This beats everything I have ever had. And just stumbled on the place cause I had not eaten. Man. Delightful and Delicious. Hats off to the pit master. Genius. Please, try this place. Put it on your radar. On my way back to NM I am going to get some to take home. For sure authentic BBQ.

I have eaten here several times and it has always been good. This last time it was not. I just got a chopped beef sandwich with some sides to go. Love the cole slaw with almonds and cranberries. But there was something wrong with the beef. It had a metallic aftertaste. It also had too much smokie seasoning . It really was not good .

Sixteen dollars for a half a pound of brisket wrapped up in paper, and you only get beans as a side.If not, you gotta spend four dollars per side was not impressed overly priced.Their barbecue is not that good!

Well… This place was NOT on my radar until an Aggie recommended it to me during the recent Longhorns vs Aggies game. I’m a UT alumnus and avid Longhorns fan so perhaps the Aggie was just misleading me after the recent win at DKR Stadium on Friday.
Drove to Opie’s today from Austin and was very underwhelmed. Dry and flavorless moist brisket with no bark, no bite and overly smoky. Ribs also dry and flavorless despite being billed as sweet and spicy.
Bought jalapeño cheese sausage and chicken too but have not unwrapped it to eat yet. I was too disappointed with the other two meats to care about trying the other two.
Next time I’ll either just go to Franklin’s BBQ, Leroy & Lewis or any of the other BBQ places in Lockhart like Black’s or Smitty’s. Sorry Opie’s but you’ve got some work to do.
A no frills BBQ place on the route to Austin (71) The BBQ is ok. Not great. Prices are fine. At 4pm on a Saturday (November) the place was almost empty. I had a brisket and a side of Mac n cheese. Again, nothing to write home about. Maybe it was the time... Middle of the afternoon, but the meat was slightly dry.

Hill country BBQ at its best. Jalapeño cheese sausage is the best ever. Lean sliced brisket. Guitar player singing Glen Campbell hits; wonderful atmosphere. Glad we stopped for Saturday lunch.

Opie’s Barbecue is truly something special. Every time we go, the food is phenomenal. The pork chop is out of this world, the brisket is always tender and flavorful, and the chicken is cooked perfectly every time. I’m obsessed with the tater tot casserole, and my wife can’t get enough of their potato salad. And of course, you can’t beat the all-you-can-eat beans — I could go back just for those alone.
Opie’s never disappoints. Great food, great people, and a place we always look forward to visiting

We had half rack of baby back ribs and brisket. The ribs were overdone and dry. We ordered half pound of the brisket and half of it was fat that we threw away. The sides were great. Very disappointed compared to what we've had before.
