First time here, maybe my favorite bbq in town. The brisket sandwich my wife got was tender and extremely tasty. The homemade Bourbon bbq sauce was sweet and delicious on the brisket (that didn't need sauce). I went for the beef cheek tacos on special with some of their spicy bbq sauce.. EXCELLENT! HIGHLY recommend a visit.

The facility was nice and clean however we couldn’t figure out where the trash can was till we trying to leave as there was only one trash can by the entrance door and that was it . The young female working there did not look like she wanted to be there at all. We paid over $100 for 3 kids and 2 adults so that makes it about $25 per person which is expensive. There’s no kids menu option either. So you are paying for an adult meal for a child. The owner seemed nice and had a good vibe so loved that. But I can’t lie I didn’t even finish my meal which was the brisket enchiladas cause it was not good. There was just something off like a chemically taste to it so I sat and watched my family eat. So was a waste of money.. just wasn’t good I’m sorry . I did get to try the sausage and it was g

We stopped here after 8 hours of driving and needed real food after a day of snacks and rosd food. Great choice! The proportions were big enough that my wife and I split a sandwich and were HAPPILY satiated. We had the Farmer, a mix of brisket, bbq pork and sausages. VERY tasty. The sauces were good, I enjoyed the burbon one the most. The atmosphere is simple. It's in a strip mall bear a pizza, a Chinese Hunsn and an Indian restaurant. Inside it was homey modern. Very nice Veterans memorial wall. Definitely recommended for locals of folks passing through.

This is just an absolutely fantastic, no frills place to get homemade barbecue. My buddy frequents this place often and gets the Texan which is a brisket and sausage sandwich. I got the pulled pork sandwich. You just can't cook the meat any better than they do here. It is tender, falls apart, and is super juicy. There's cafeteria style seating in the restaurant with a variety of barbecue sauces you can use. If you want an affordable place to grab an absolutely divine hunk of meat, you will not go wrong here.

Another great visit and my first to the new location. The new location is very spacious, well decorated and a great spot!! Today was Taco Tuesday, and they did not disappoint. Your options were Smoked Brisket, Pulled Pork and Smoked Sausage. I decided to try all 3 and wished I had ordered 6 more. They were some tasty, and kept you wanting more all the way to the last bite. If you’ve never been or it’s been awhile. I highly recommend a visit to Smokin Barrel BBQ
