The staff was very friendly. I ordered the brisket sandwhich and it was delicious and packed with a big portion of brisket. I only ate half. Friends in my group ordered the hamburger. The patty was an inch thick patty and it was also very good. The kids loved the fries and chicken strips. They also offer complimentary beans and corn bread. I highly recommend this place if you ever pass by Three Rivers.

We stumbled upon this place, driving through looking for some barbecue and they delivered. Everything was delicious especially the Complementary beans and cornbread, and not to mention the sweet tea. 10/10

Best brisket, best BBQ sauce my boyfriend and I have ever had, and the most delicious green beans ever. Plus, the cornbread is absolutely amazing. If you’re in the area or driving by, you need to eat here. 10/10 would recommend.

Best enchiladas & baked potato with brisket ever… I’m from the valley, we got good bbq places. However, they exceeded my expectations! Bbq sauce is delicious too!

Tried to eat there just now but couldn't get waited on. We sat by the window and was ignored. People came in way after us and waitress rushed to them. After awhile we walked out. Sad part no one acknowledge we existed. We are at Live Oak now and people are friendly.

Hands down the best bbq around for miles. Brisket is juicy and seasoned well whether it's lean or fatty, fried catfish was excellent and so were the sweet potato fries. If you're looking for bbq and don't want to be let down like a lot of other bbq places around here then come here. You'll love it!

We got the brisket it was amazing. Big portions good to share or take home for leftovers. Staff was attentive and the owner was typical small town Texas friendly. If your from New York or Cali you might have a stranger danger experience but for me this place was what Texas exemplifies. Extra friendly and you immediately feel like family. We were passing thru on our way back home to Bandera when we found this diner. We will be back.

I know they have great food, as I've eaten there before, but this is about today's service. Stood at the counter looking over the menu, waiting patiently to place my order for 10 minutes. Not once was I acknowledged, greeted, or told someone will be with you in a moment. So I just walked out and left.
