★★★★☆ 4.0 Joshua Faubion · Mar 2026

In my opinion, phenomenal. I grabbed the 3 meat plate, sliced brisket, Turkey, and jalapeño cheese sausage. The two sides were potatoe salad and macaroni. Brisket, delicious. Turkey, delicious. Sausage, delicious. Macaroni was amazing. The cheese sauce was not too thick, not too thin. Flavor all the way. Potato salad was excellent, absolutely enjoyed every bite. I'm full to the gills, and want to eat more. Recommend without a doubt if you are coming through Bryan.

Even before entering the building you can smell the smoke! The smell inside is just as mouth watering! I got the baker with two meats (I got the chopped brisket and sausage), pickled onions and jalapenos, cheese, BBQ sauce and sour cream, and a side of cornbread. Can't describe it any other way than it was perfect! Everything was so full of flavor but subtle enough to pair things together and still taste each item. The staff was friendly and professional! The building was clean and well stocked! If I lived here, I would be back daily! Visiting from NH, but when I come back to see my friends again, I WILL return!

I actually loved the food from here. The brisket was great. I also really loved the creamed corn and macaroni! I personally also loved the sauce. A handful of people told me this was the best BBQ in town and now I see why.

First time here. It was a hard choice between the brisket or rib plate but got me a brisket plate. It's so good 👍🏽. Very friendly and good atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it.

★★★★★ 5.0 Larry Vega · Dec 2025

I don’t say this often but all of the food was really good. As advertised the brisket was very tender and I loved the smoke taste. I also had the Mac and cheese which was better than most, even my wife’s. The baked beans also had a little something added to them that made them excellent. My daughter ordered the round sweet potatoe cakes. I had a few bites of hers and we both agreed they were the best we have ever had. Hands down the best bbq in the Brazos Valley, a little pricey but worth it. Not the greatest location but definitely worth the trip.
