Back in Texas and immediately on the hunt for some proper BBQ—so I picked this spot based on the reviews. First impression: the location is… a little awkward, but hey, plenty of parking, so no stress there. Walked in around noon on a Saturday and the place was empty, which already felt a bit ominous. The inside is huge, but it’s missing that warm, smoky “BBQ joint” vibe you expect. The menu is pretty limited, and I’ll admit I did a double take when my brisket, ribs, and sausage showed up on a bed of white rice. That was a first for me anywhere in the U.S. The sausage was actually solid—cooked well and full of flavor. The brisket, unfortunately, was dry and forgettable. The ribs were tender, but the smoke flavor was so intense it completely took over, even with both sauces trying their be

The food here was amazing. Exceeded my expectations on all levels. I had a combo plate with brisket and ribs and added the piece of chicken for three dollars. The three sides that were available were potato salad, beans and white rice. The rice was surprisingly good. The brisket was perfect. The ribs were delicious and the chicken was as juicy. I picked up empanadas for dessert after being impressed with the food and figured the homemade dessert had to be good. That was a correct assumption.

Honestly, one of the best BBQ spots I’ve ever tried when I came to Texas! 🥩🔥 The place is cozy, filled with that irresistible smoky aroma that makes your mouth water. The meat here is fresh, perfectly marinated, and grilled to perfection, especially the beef ribs and pork belly, which are tender and full of flavor. Big shoutout to the staff: super friendly, attentive and professional. 💯 I also loved their special dipping BBQ sauce: a perfect match for the BBQ. The price is very reasonable for the quality you get. If you’re a BBQ lover, this is definitely a place you should visit at least once, you’ll leave full and happy! 😍

This place has the most delicious BBQ sandwich I’ve ever had. The people there were awesome. My daughter loved it for sure. The meat was so soft and falling off the bone. Definitely coming back!!
