Redbird is one of my favorite places to eat at. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. Their catering is also great as well as the burgers on burger days. My top recommendations are the brisket, cornbread pudding, cheesy scallop potatoes, koobideh sausage, and chocolate chip bread pudding (it's unreal). There is usually a line out the door to get in but it is 100% worth the wait. If you haven't been here, DO IT! Staff is always welcoming and nice.

It's only a matter of time before this unique BBQ spot is recognized as a top 10 in Texas. As far as I'm concerned, they're already there. Brisket and pork ribs were out of this world. Beef Koobideh sausage on a pita, with pickled veggies is a killer. Homemade roles with tallow honey butter is undeniable. Cornbread pudding, scalloped potatoes, banana pudding. All the sides just make this a must try and the meats make it spot you have to revisit. I'm a no-sauce kinda guy, so I enjoyed everything the way it stood, but the sauce was solid as well. Well worth the drive. As a Texan and BBQ fan, thanks for representing what BBQ is all about.

Great BBQ, I couldn't pick a favorite because everything was so good. The turkey was moist and flavorful, while my boyfriend loved the pork ribs. We both agreed that the cheesy potatoes were just as good as the BBQ! On top of that, the staff was super friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend! Worth the hour and a half drive for us.

We arrived and were first in line to our surprise. We normally do our research when visiting a top 50 spot and have an idea of what we're going to order, so when we made it to the counter everything went smoothly.We were greeted very well and noticed how everyone was on point with what they had to do to make the experience that much better for everyone visiting.The staff was great, the food was amazing and when all said and done definitely one of our top 3 bbq spots in Texas, and that's hard to pull off.We've been to many top 50 spots in the past few years and this one is a gem, better than those who've ranked in the 1st spot.
