We drove an extra hour and a half to eat here with hungry bellies based on the Google reviews, so figured I should leave a review also. Definitely did not disappoint! Prices so reasonable. Excellent BBQ and friendly service! Stop by if you're driving through Memphis, TX!

Holy cow! That was some of the best barbecue I've ever had! The ribs were perfectly done, which never happens. But it did today. The flavor was unique, but totally Texas. the barbecue sauce was incredible, And the sides were amazing. I forgot to mention that the portions were definitely Texas size. Really need room for more stars on the review.

Grabbed a plate on my way through Memphis and the food did in fact leave me fat and happy! Catfish was seasoned well and the meat was flaky, edges were crunchy, I loved it. Hush puppies were AMAZING. Had a little jalapeño taste in them but not overpowering. The ribs were juicy, probably the best ribs I've ever had! I cleaned my plate. 10/10

This was my first time stopping in and I am certainly glad that I did. I had the chopped brisket with potato salad and mac n cheese. The brisket was absolutely delicious and the potato salad was on point! The Mac n cheese was ok but I just prefer a different kind of Mac n cheese. I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy it. I'm picky. I highly recommend this spot and I'll be stopping in again every time I pass through! Great job guys!!

Honestly, one of the most perfect examples I've ever seen of a perfectly cooked cut and seasoned brisket. The marbling was perfect. The grain was perfect and the cook was perfect. What a fantastic hidden gem in the middle of Memphis Texas. You can't be eating outside at a picnic table while enjoying the hot Texas Indian summer. The proprietor was amazing. Would recommend, but come early, because once it's gone it's gone.
