Ok, I was skeptical about gas station BBQ. I have some high standards. Now, before you start, I know it's not the best ever BBQ I've ever had, but it is better than a lot of low-end chains of BBQ. So with that. I had the jalapeño sausage, brisket, and what I thought was loaded mashed potatoes, but to my surprise, when I took a bite, it is loaded scalloped potatoes. And boy, are they delicious. The brisket was moist and didn't need sauce. The links were the perfect blend of jalapeños and meat. It left the heat without touching the taste buds.The counter staff were inviting, friendly, and quick. I will be back.

Who would have thought that some of the best brisket I've ever had would come from a gas station? This place is an absolute hidden gem! From the moment I walked in, the smoky aroma of barbecue had my mouth watering.The brisket was nothing short of incredible—perfectly smoked, tender, and packed with flavor. The bark was crispy, the meat was juicy, and every bite melted in my mouth. I ordered it with their homemade BBQ sauce on the side, and it complemented the brisket perfectly without overpowering it.The sides were just as impressive. The mac and cheese was creamy and indulgent, and the coleslaw was fresh and tangy, balancing out the richness of the brisket. The portions were generous, and the prices were more than reasonable for the quality of food.What really stood out, though, was the friendly and welcoming staff. They were passionate about their food and took the time to explain the menu and make recommendations. The service was quick, even though the place was busy, and the whole experience felt personal and authentic.Don't let the gas station location fool you—this place is a must-visit for any barbecue lover. I'll definitely be back, and I'll be telling everyone I know to stop by. Trust me, you won't regret it!

THE WORST BBQ I HAVE EVER EATENThis place needs to remove the "Texas Best" and just leave the BBQ up. There's nothing Texas or Best about the bbq here. In fact, they need to close the bbq side down.If you have never been here before, this is a large gas station/food court. They sell a lot of different things from clothes to hats, art work, souvenirs and there's a few different options of food to choose from. Fried chicken, pizza and bbq.They have a pizza oven and a smoker there as well, neither of which I believe they use to cook the food (that's just my option). There's no way you can convince me they are using a smoker to cook their brisket and it turns out the way it looks. Absolutely pathetic. Check out the picture on the outside of the building and look at what I received. It's almost criminal. This place is a scam in my option.I wasted $12 plus dollars on the brisket I ordered and I didn't, excuse me; couldn't choke down any part of the fatty meat they served me. This just proves that here in America anyone can make a living. What a shame this place is.Here are the positives. I'm all about being fair. The atmosphere was clean and regarding service, I was greeted about three different times. I wondered why at 11:30am on a Thursday no one was in line or seated eating. I know why now...The restrooms were clean and the store overall was very clean. The people are very kind as well.I am upset I wasted my lunch money I guess. I wasn't going to leave a review but, the quality of food was just that bad. It's worth warning people not to waste their money (on the bbq). To be fair, I can't judge them on any of the other food they are serving because I didn't try it. However, I wish I would have ordered a slice of pizza now...If you are thinking about the bbq, please don't waste your time because they for sure don't waste their time cooking or smoking the meat properly. It's just an after thought for them in my opinion. What a joke. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE SMOKER ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING.

Usually the food and service is good. This day we went out to order some ribs and the jalapeno cheese sausage. There were some language issues to make the person understand what I needed. They had then figured out, but the overall taste was not the usual , the ribs were not the fall of the bone and the sausage was not having the normal flavor ..surely a 'may try again' place.
