Who did they bribe to make the Top 10?

by PerlaNera

Perhaps I went on a bad day, but this was by far the worst BBQ I have ever had. I should have known something was suspect when we pulled up and the parking lot was empty. I ordered the BBQ ribs with cabbage and potato salad. The ribs were tough and chewy and the cabbage was super sweet, like they had been cooked in maple syrup. The potato salad was the typical store brand potato salad. Nothing special. The BBQ sauce had the weirdest taste and consistency. Had more in common with Prego then it did BBQ sauce. Don't be fooled by the "sweet" tea because it tastes just like regular tea. Its definitely not worth the money (we spent $30).

• Pros: Easy Parking
• Cons: Bad Food

IGNORE ANY POSITIVE REVIEW

by lonestarstateofmind

I went to this disgrace a few days ago with perlanera( read her review) and as a native texan I'm upset that this is being passed off as texas bbq. I ordered links, brisket, beans, and green beans(because the only other sides were potato salad and cabbage which she got). The beef was dry, however it did have a nice smoke ring that was smoked on days earlier because this was not fresh bbq. The links could have been steamed b/c they had no bbq flavor. The bbq sauce was lumpy in appearance and tasted like it was made from canned pasta sauce or that sauce from alphabet soup. Neither of the beans had been cooked with any care. They were canned beans warmed and a horrible combination of spice poured on top. Lastly the sweet tea was about a sweet as this review. This city is full of great bbq, dont settle for this

Rib-sticking+ food

by canwetalk

Even the plus-size baked potatoes here are a meal in themselves. Come here ONLY if you're really hungry! The food was good, the portions generous, and the help friendly and helpful. I wish the place was a little more "polished," particulary the railcard, previously the bar. It's now a BYOB place, the liquor license having gotten too expensive. Patronize places like this so we don't have to go to Olive Garden -- or all those chain restaurants! Dee's owned it for many years, and he's a local, hard-working business owner.

• Pros: Down-to-earth BBQ
• Cons: Coleslaw is boring
