This place did not disappoint. Everything was delicious. We had a bit of everything. Most places we've been to had good meat but the sides sucks or the sides are great and the meat was bad. This place had the moistest meats and the most flavourful sides. Even the banana pudding was good. Definitely coming back again.

BBQ was worth the drive! Joey seemed to be a down to earth person and his BBQ definitely spoke to me and my craving for great smoked BBQ! I had to come back and edit my review to include how f'n awesome that banana pudding was! If you haven't been you're missing out! Texas Monthly better take note or they will lose credibility.

Well we had just eaten a couple of hours before and we weren't hungry enough to make it a full meal, but couldn't resist trying something, since it was our first time here. We weren't disappointed. The brisket was moist and didn't even need a fork. Very tender. Sausage tasted incredible and had a home made taste to it. Will try the sides next time we are in the area and make it a full meal. Worth the stop in Mart if your looking for a meal.

The owner had a food truck in Houston. That had a great following, but he wanted. Something different, so 20 miles or so east of Waco. He saw a little corner building for sale. Got it fixed it up, beautiful job. And this food is absolutely incredible. The pork ribs were great !! She loved the brisket. I thought it was just a little. I don't know. It was super tender, but just wasn't quite as moist as the way i get it at other top places. Now, that's my take. You may love it that way, but I leave honest reviews. The sides were incredible. Some of the best Mac and cheese I've ever had in a barbecue place. He told me how he made it so good, but i'm not going to give you his secret. They don't have all the traditional sides, but I will post his menu, so you can see for yourself. He was super nice. We talked quite a little bit while we were there and just overall loved it..
