Mesquite Pit - Mineral Wells

SOLID bbq option if passing through town and looking for a case of the meat sweats. Came in on a Wed afternoon during lunch service. Large establishment with ample parking and a lively atmosphere. Definitely seems like a place popular with the locals! Got several plates and here’s what I’d say. Anything fried? Fantastic. These folks have a deft touch with the fryer. Sides were pretty standard. Pretty good but not memorable. Same goes for sausage. The Ribs? Fantastic and I’d highly recommend. The brisket didn’t do it for me. Lots of high ratings here but for me on this day it wasn’t hitting. Service was friendly and attentive! Recommend as a good spot to break bread when in town.

Wow! What a great find in a small town! Thank you Google and my hubby’s hunger for chicken fried steak! I read reviews about the margaritas and boy were they right! Very smooth taste! I got a mango margarita on the rocks and it was so good! Highly recommend the cowboy queso!! Man was it good!! I had the fried catfish with onion rings and green beans and I was delighted with its taste and battering! Definitely, definitely recommend!

While passing through town, we discovered an establishment where we placed an order to-go, and the food was prepared in under 10 minutes. The portions were generous, and the food was good !

We visited on Sunday afternoon about 1:15. It wasn’t too crowded and we were waited on right away. Our order was served and it was correct, grilled chicken salad and shrimp skewers. The grilled veggie skewer was wonderful and the shrimp tasted great. Always love the green beans as a side, too.

Maybe I came to this location (Mineral Wells) with high expectations since my experience with the Weatherford location was superb. The place was busy and too noisy for us so I ask the lady if is possible to get a table at the not so crowded section where she responded to my surprise that was not possible. Few minutes later she changed her mind and moved us to a table at the corner of the building. My wife literally was facing the wall. There was several tables available in the area but I really didn’t want to bother again. Maybe she was having a bad day. I was ready to give a 1 star for service but a male server that took our order was actually outstanding and saved the day. What we learned? It only take 1 moody employee to mess up the costumer experience or another to make it outstanding
