Ribs, smoked jalapeño Mac & chz, smoked jalapeño cornbread, and burnt ends. I’ve never had better, and I’ve eaten bbq from all over the USA. This is my second year visiting TX, and my 3rd time eating at Juan and Allie’s. Wicked friendly service, and extremely reasonable prices.

I would put the smoke sausage up against any in Texas and the sliced brisket is right there with it.
After an early morning flight to DFW, we were halfway through the two-hour drive to the north-Texas town of Wichita Falls when lunch sounded like a good idea.
Initially, I said that I was in the mood for a lighter lunch, but when we read some of the many 5-star reviews for Juan and Allie’s BBQ that said things like “I will always come here whenever I am within a six hour drive”, I changed my mind. So we pulled off the highway and about a half-mile into the small town of Sunset. I realized we were at the spot when the faint smell of wood smoke trickled to my nose from the side of a weatherbeaten building with a “Backyard BBQ” banner tacked to the front.
Walking inside, we were greeted by nods from a table of men in work boots and jeans, and then promptly welcomed by Allie herself. She indicated the day’s menu on the board and helpfully answered our questions.
The inside dining area was comfortable and homey, even if like the outside it had seen better days. Sagging ceiling tiles and duct tape repairs told the story of getting by and focusing on the important things. It is a real family-run operation, with Juan smoking the meats and Allie making the sides, along with waiting tables. On the day we visited at least, it was just the two of them working.
Of course I had to order brisket since it was Texas, but the sides presented a more challenging decision. After hearing Allie’s description of their cowboy beans, I chose those and the potato salad. She disappeared into the back room, and soon returned with a large metal tray containing slices of brisket and Texas-sized portions of sides.
The brisket was beautifully smoked and sliced, and flavor was perfect. The only deduction I have to make was due to it being a little less tender than I would expect from a great brisket. It went down easily despite having said I was not in the mood for a pile of meat, but I did have to make use of my knife a little more than usual.
The sides were big on home-cooked flavor. In both, I noticed a big difference from typical southern or big-name barbecue joints in that they were not overly sweet but relied on more earthy seasonings for their taste. They were excellent complements to the beef, and deserve some recognition of their own.
After our meal was done, we chatted with Juan outside for a minute, where we learned some of the details mentioned above. It would have been cool to hear more about their story, but they had work to do and we had to get back on the road. So we pulled back onto the highway, having experienced a friendly welcome to Texas and a satisfying first meal in the Lone Star State.

This place is awesome! Definitely stop in if you're looking for some good barbecue. We got a few pounds of brisket, a pound of jalapeño sausage and a bunch of sides. It was all very delicious! Wish we would have gotten more! Very nice folks running the place too!
