★★★★★ 5.0 DOOD J · Jun 2025

Referred here by one of the locals and glad he sent me this way! The food was very good and came out quick and hot. The waitress was knowledgeable, quick and helpful. The cook who brought some of the food out while she was helping other tables made some good suggestions. There's good parking for those of us with trailers behind the service station next door. All in all a good experience.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jared Hendrich · Jun 2022

Absolutely amazing. Definitely in the top five of bbq places I've ever been. To start off, it was very clean, and quiet music wise (I went on Friday evening). The waitress was very helpful and nice. The food came very fast. The food is what really sold the place to me. The pork was well seasoned, juicy and tender. The fries were the best I've had in a long time. They came out seasoned nicely. I prefer mine very salty so I added some salt to mine but the fries weren't over seasoned for the average person. I highly recommend this place. It definitely has its share of small town charm.

We love the food! We've never had a bad meal and the variety on the menu makes it easy for anyone to find a favorite! My favorite is the brisket taco salad!

★★★★★ 5.0 Austin · Feb 2026

Hadn't been here for a few years and it was just as good as I remember. Good food, fast service, reasonable prices. Would recommend.

Pete's was everything you dream of for a good small town meal. The BEST cheese curds we have ever had! The queso was also delicious. There are 6 in our family and we all loved the meals we ordered. My husband and I grew up in small towns and we really appreciated getting to eat at Pete's. It reminded us of our own small towns. We will definitely stop again if we get to pass through in the future.
