Wow, everything about this place was great! It was my first time and the employees were really nice and helped me through the menu that each meat in the “combo” section weighs to about 1/4 pound. So, I got a 3 meat + 2 sides with 1/2 brisket and 1/4 jalapeno cheese sausage with some elote and green cabbage slaw. Excellent service and excellent food with amazing BBQ. I’m from Austin but I will definitely drive down here again just to eat from here one more time!
P.S. the peach cobbler with ice cream is also DIVINE!
A bit out of the way, but worth it! This is a brewery and BBQ joint. It’s a nice concept, but with a smaller establishment I didn’t feel it worked. Bbq joints often are trying to get people in and out quickly due to crowds, while bars/breweries try to keep people in longer. This place is on the smaller side, and when we arrived there were a lot of people there to drink with very few tables to eat at. Outside seating is available, but with the high winds and dust that day it wasn’t feasible.
Food – family and I had the brisket, regular sausage, turkey, brown sugar glazed carrots and green Chile Mac and cheese. All of it was fantastic. Those carrots were amazing. We ordered a to-go cup. I felt the brisket was lacking some seasoning that day, but I won’t hold it against them. It happens. Won’t fault them.
Excellent food and lovely vibe. Stopped off for a quick lunch driving back from Big Bend and so glad we did! We had the sausage, pulled pork, brisket and ribs and sides of beans, elote, potato salad and mac n cheese. All tasty, highlights were the pulled pork, brisket and elote. Looked like a great selection of beers although we didn’t sample as driving. Sat outside in the courtyard which was lovely and had tables in sun and in shade. Recommend!
Stopped here in the way through Marathon Texas. Only open Thursday to Sunday. Go earlier as it can sell out. Husband got the brisket and sausage, I got ribs. All of it was excellent. Jalapeño Mac n cheese, potato salad all amazing. Worth a trip! And the town is pretty cool too!
Not Cheap but worth every penny. I had the 2 meat and was recommended the sausage and brisket, both excellent. My wife had the 1 meat ribs with Elote and mac n cheese for her 2 sides, I went classic cole slaw and potato salad and all the sides were excellent. Just stopped passing through and with we could eat here again.
