Our Review: A Solid Standard BBQ Meal from a Texas Monthly Top 100 Contender This food truck, proudly holding a Texas Monthly Top 100 BBQ award, delivers a reliable and satisfying barbecue experience that settles comfortably into the realm of "nice standard BBQ." The operation is traveler-friendly, offering both indoor and outdoor seating to escape the heat. We found the prices to be reasonable, sharing a three-meat plate and a drink for $26.74, which is solid value for the quality. The Meats: Hits and Misses The selection of meats provided a good showcase of the pitmaster's skill, though consistency was the key challenge. The star was the Jalapeño and Cheese Sausage. It featured a nice double grind and boasted a perfect, audible snap on the casing. It was wonderfully cheesy, packed with

5 stars all around! Bbq was excellent and the two men working were lovely. This was mine and my husband's first visit to Texas and we were on a bit of a barbecue trail, as one does. And this little unassuming spot on the side of the road turned out to be one of the best!

The apple slaw and banana pudding were definitely stand out! The banana pudding is homemade and I'd drive all the way there just for that. The owners were very friendly and are opening a restaurant in town soon. It's nice to have well cooked food finally when going out!

I got a chopped beef sandwich for my husband with beans they up charged by $2, he said it was all good the beans were a little undercooked. I got their pork steak plate with 1 side and it was very good I think they put hot honey on the steak but it wasn't to spicy my son was able to eat it with me. One of them said the best potato salad in Texas and it definitely was good, reminded me of my grandma's. A little pricey for me but very good would go back.

Where do I start? I’d give it 10 stars ⭐️ Best bbq brisket I ever had!! The sauce is amazing, potato salad and slaw are amazing! The jalapeño cheddar sausage is amazing! Great experience, very friendly. You can sit outside or indoor. We bought extra for back home as we were traveling. We will get back when we are in the area.
