best barbeque

by joeandamy at Citysearch

The food was great especially the ribs. The atmosphere was unique with Willie Nelson singing

Georgia. What the south is all about.

best bar-b-q in Texas

by mbetzkin at Citysearch

I eat there all the time and the service is great. And yes, the wait staff is incredibly hot. I love all the food there. I usually dont eat potatoe salad but i love theirs. Prices are pretty cheap considering all the food you get. And i recommend the root beer to drink. Their own rootbeer is the best ive ever had!! Excelent all around! Service is great.

• Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere
• Cons: Can't eat it all, No chain

HOT WAITSTAFF! AWESOME FOOD!

by quiicksilver at Citysearch

WOW! all i can say is THE BEST BBQ EVER! The all you can eat buffet is well worth the money because dessert is included. The waitresses are gorgeous and always seem to have a beautiful smile for you as soon as you enter the door. The new band DAVID BRAKE AND THAT DAMN BAND is amazing. The only problem is trying to save room for the delicious dessert! A MUST-SEE ATMOSPHERE...

• Pros: waitresses, decor, prices
• Cons: only one...no chain

Great food and large servings for a low price.

Have been here a couple of times and while the food is always great the service can be lacking. Waitstaff seems to have no clue and the next time around they are on top of everything. Order up and enjoy the q.

• Pros: Food, Price, Loacation
• Cons: Waitstaff Service

If you want RIBS...

by dyxiegirl at Citysearch

We are lucky to only live a short distance from the Swinging Door. That way we can eat there at least once a week! The ribs are incredible. Meaty and tender. The turkey is my son's favorite, and their garlic Czech sausage is a regular on our plate. They have a single, double, and triple meat plate. The triple, which goes for about $13, is enough food to feed my son, husband and me, with an extra baked potato on the side. We are often too full to have their INCREDIBLE cobblers (peach, apple, blackberry, and cherry with pecans). Most people love the potato salad, but with our triple, we get 3 servings of the cole slaw! Just wish they had green beans!

• Pros: ribs, cobbler, variety of meats

Average Brisket

by slb5547 at Citysearch

Great atmosphere and decor, but the brisket was dried out. I would rather eat brisket with no sauce but I had to dump a ton of sauce to make it good. I paid 13 dollars for my meal which is too much for a BBQ joint. Not anywhere near the upper echelon of Texas BBQ places. Though the potato salad is amazing.

• Pros: atmosphere
• Cons: waiters, pricey
