This place has the best bbq, only place that comes close is Terry blacks in waco. This place not only has bbq beef ribs and they do it right . We were lucky because they had boudan sausage. We had their burnt brisket ends,regular sausage, sliced brisket and mac and cheese. If you were raised Texan like us than you will understand when I say fork tender sweet and savory. I was brought up if the meat needs sauce then it's no good so I don't use any and it didn't need need but everyone that did try the sauce said It too was good. Didn't leave any room to try the dessert so will go back for some. Of course will get more bbq. Ps the puppy was happy to get the rib bone.

Ya'll this place is awesome! The barbecue is tender with the perfect amount of spice and you have to get a desert! It's enough for 2 people- or maybe save some for breakfast tomorrow - today is Root Beer Tres Leches. Get there early because they sell out fast!

Wonderfully perfect bark on the brisket. Mac and cheese was meh, but that's also partly preference. These guys know how to smoke, the quality of their raw briskets is what holds them back, a bit more intramuscular fat on the bottom would make for a much softer texture, and let the smoke penetrate deeper.

We got a 2 meat plate with the potato salad, coleslaw, and Mac n cheese. Everything was amazing. Brisket, turkey, chicken, ribs, all of the BBQ sauces had great flavor. We will definitely be back. The grill master and staff were very friendly.
