We were just passing through, needed some fuel for our bodies, and picked this restaurant on maps with fingers crossed. We were so pleased with everything. The restaurant was spotless, and the food was fresh and delicious. 😋 To boot, the folks there were pleasant. This will be our go-to restaurant anytime we pass through. Thanks a bunch!

I will say I was surprised! I'm very picky about my BBQ and I wasn't sure what I was walking into. I'm glad I came! This food is amazing. I had the pulled pork combo with the baked potato salad. I couldn't stop eating it was so amazing. Best potato salad I've ever had and I so wish I had the recipe so I could eat it every day xD The service was just as amazing as the food. They went above and beyond to serve my family and made it a wonderful experience! Thank you guys so much!

I have two major regrets: not taking a photo and not being able to leave a zero-star review. I ordered the two-meat plate with brisket and chicken, and it was by far the smallest portion I've ever received at a BBQ joint. The brisket was incredibly dry and the chicken lacked any flavor whatsoever. The sides were equally disappointing, served in containers so small they looked like they were side of salsa, not a full meal. Save yourself the $16 and find a better spot. This one's not worth it.

I will say the food is exceptional. The wonderful lady who is in charge of the restaurant is very conscience of the satisfaction of each customer. I purchased a 3 meat to go container(2) for myself and my wife and the meals were very fulfilling. They offer many sides to complement each meal. I suggest ordering the Ranchero beans as they are very favorable. I purchased the 3 meat meal, which consisted of beef, sausage, and ribs. I got sausage which had japenlo. The service is very personable. They have a new item on the menu, loaded potato fries.. I recommend this restaurant for barbecue and friendly service. This place has all ones barbecue needs. Stop by if you are traveling through Palestine,Texas!!
