This place is delicious!! I got the Brisket Bowl and it was absolutely amazing! Brisket, sausage, beans, Fritos, and cheese...a perfect combination. The homemade ranch and banana pudding were to die for!! The stuff was super friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The close when the food runs out so better go for lunch or an early dinner, it's worth it.

My friends and I were visiting from out of town, we found Red Wagon close by and decided to give it a shot. The staff were very friendly and the BBQ was delicious! The fried jalapeños were my favorite 😋 Definitely worth the visit!

Came out to Red Wagon BBQ to try it out and process why someone having a wonderful time "just dating" would not speak to me for a week. Actually, less of that. This food was too good!I had the BBQ bowl which was the best way to sample their best offerings. Brisket was wonderful. Sausage was amazing. Sauce was simultaneously sweet and vinegary which I like. Banana pudding was delightful. "Not too sweet" which he said and I saw in lots of reviews. I only had a couple of bites and I only ate about half the BBQ bowl. I also enjoyed the Jarritos Pineapple soda.It's decorated for Christmas and is totally adorable. There a room off to the right. Looks like it needs a party. Has a spot for a band.It was busy for a Saturday to my eyes. Usually a BBQ place is practically empty. At least five cars of people came in before I even walked in.The man I'm assuming is the owner was super sweet and very welcoming. This is a wonderful place. I'll definitely be back.

This barbecue was amazing. The brisket was great and the wagyu beef rib was one of the best ribs, pork or beef, that I've ever had. The coleslaw also had cilantro and garlic in it which was extremely unique and delicious. Highly, highly recommend this place. I'll be coming back a bunch.

BEST BBQ IN WACO - WORTH THE DRIVE. (There is plenty of indoor seating.) Red Wagon is just a little past Homestead Heritage and has everything a great BBQ joint should have. The owner, Michael, is excited to greet his customers after spending all day making tender and flavor- infused meats. The sides are on-point. It's obvious everything is scratch made since each side is like its own flavor bomb. The mac and cheese is made with real cheese. The beans are by far the best pinto beans I've had in years. The coleslaw is crisp with hints of cilantro and without globs of mayo. The coleslaw is made with dill and pairs well with the salty, savory meats. And, the banana pudding is made with real whipped cream. The hospitality is so good that you'll not want to leave!
