Overall great experience. Staff is very friendly and all of the BBQ food (pulled pork, ribs, and chicken) absolutely amazing. The only complaint I would have is about the Mac and cheese and the beans. I feel like the Mac and cheese is not cheesy and just tastes a little bland. Also, I’m a little confused about the beans. I ordered baked beans but we got green beans. Not sure I’ll order those two sides again.

Stopped here for lunch for the first time today. It was fantastic! Had the brisket and chicken, both were excellent. The sweet sauce has a wonderful smoky flavor and the potato salad was very good. So glad we found this little place. Staff was very friendly. We’ll definitely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu. Hats off to the guy working the smoker. Great job!!

July 2022: The owner stated in a recent review he’s never received a complaint about staff being rude…lol. Please refer to review below left 3 YEARS AGO! The lady was so rude I still remember it to this day! Doesn’t really matter because their closing I just hate when owners make outlandish false claims like, I’ve never had a complaint about someone being rude in 12 years, when clearly there is a review about your staff being rude…lol. She was an older lady & was mad rude about me wanting a sauce to dip my chicken wings in. Still like the sausage, coleslaw & pickles though.

Friendly staff. The property itself feels like a Texas Hill Country BBQ joint. The main road its on diatracts from that feel though. So after a moment of Texas excitement it was clear, its just a roadside bbq joint trying to be Texas in feel. As for the food. The ‘que here, just okay. The Ribs were not as tender as they should be. Way too chewy and slightly in the dry side. Also the sausage just dis not have that Elgin Texas Sausage kick. Standard white bread is how they roll in Texas, but here they roll with a roll. The sides were the best part. Beans were simple, but worked. Slaw and potato salad was quite good once adding a sprinkle of black pepper. Conclusion. Lets say you can take the BBQ out of Texas, but you can not put the Texas back in the BBQ unless you execute with perfection. This is an okay place, but its not the Texas Hill Country BBQ I hoped to find…

The barbecue was very good. It came out fast for how much we ordered, they gave good sides and good service with nice people. I recommend the pulled pork sandwich.
