This place is 2 stars at best. I’m guessing it survives because nothing else is around. We stopped by because it had such great reviews, but sadly became disappointed very quickly. Let me start by saying eating at these “hole in the wall” places are one of my fav things to do. So automatically no judgment because I know these places can have the absolute BEST food. We walk in, head straight to the counter, it’s small, but def has seating space. The cashier was just not interested in giving any details. I asked what she recommended since we’ve never been and wanted to try, she just waved her hand over the board, and read a few things off the board, no opinion, no “recommendation “ just read a few things. Ok, that’s fine, I’ll play it safe, grabbed a lb of brisket, chopped beef sandwich, kids meal. Let me say, it was INEXPENSIVE, so that was a nice surprise because in this economy, who likes to waste money on food you don’t love. It was about 50 bucks. An older lady had popped in right after us, to which the cashier just waved off to another employee, very rudely. Customer Service, or manners are clearly not here at this point, And it’s obvious. I take my ticket, grab my cup, go to the beverage area. It’s dirty, needs a good WIPE DOWN, again, trying not to judge, I go for the tea, very wearily. I’m a southern girl and LOVE my tea, surprisingly, it was good!! Still could use a good wipe down, the spigots were def dirty. We wait a good 15 minutes, no worries, we’re patient. Get called, grab food, head to car. Pass out food, it’s decent at best. Again, glad this wasn’t 80-100 dollars because I would’ve been so sad. The potatoe salad has all the skin, isn’t mashed at all, and no seasoning. Tried 2 bites. The brisket was ok, it was semi warm, but dry, and again, no seasoning the kids meal actually looked the best. Over all, def won’t return, but was worth a try just to know, we tried it.

Hinze’s BBQ is always a solid choice—great flavor, generous portions, and friendly service every time. You can feel the hometown care in every plate, and it’s easily a spot I’d recommend to anyone craving good barbecue.

The brisket was great but the ribs had sat out and dried out! Really was craving some good ribs but was completely disappointed with these

Texas style Barbecue at its BEST!!! The food is better than ever and the new location has the flavor dialed in on this new pit. I'm a barbecue snob and when they first re-opened the pit didn't have the depth of flavors, but now it is fully broken in and the taste is second to none. Chicken, ribs, pork, brisket are all among the best in the state.
UPDATE, great chicken fried steak too

You know, the food was excellent...which was expected based on the reviews.

I was especially happy with the attention and help from the staff. That by itself is worth looking forward to on our next visit!
