Forest edge driving around Sam Houston can build a real appetite. New Waverly gives you two different ways to scratch it, depending on how much time you have. It is a handy stop if you are headed toward the lake or back down the highway.
Double J's Burgers & BBQ is handy when you want a mixed menu and a plate that shows up fast. Dickey's Barbecue Pit is the steady option for a consistent brisket stop when time is tight. Split a couple meats, skip the extras, and add ribs only if you still want more by the last bite.
