This is delicious barbecue: ribs fall off the bone, juicy and fat; brisket is delicious wow! #7 plate: brisket, rib and sausage is more than enough for 2 people!!! The smoke ring was nice and the smoke perfect. I don't think the sides were great but not what we went for and they just get in the way :) the bbq sauce doesn't seem house made but this good bbq doesn't need it. Prices are great. Flavor exceeds expectations and on par with Blacks (where you pay 3x more for less). Gave one less star bc the place is a bbq shack- it's clean and has a tv and nice but don't want you to expect fancy and facilities.

The meat was REALLY good. I got a brisket plate and turkey leg. But the sides are severely lacking, no flavor and tasted undercooked. The brisket portion was a little disappointing but the flavor made up for it. If you're going to visit here your best bet is to get the meat by itself.

Was in robstown from Rockport area for business. I always look for someplace new. The reviews were good so I decided to try it. When I pulled up I was a bit skeptical. Ordered a little of everything to try it and boy was I glad I did. They exceeded my expectations. The brisket was tender and juicy, the ribs were delicious and the sausage was great. Very happy I went there. Will go again if I'm in the area.

I'm a little late on taking a picture of the brisket sandwich. I got too busy munching away on it,first time having the sandwich this year since I've been working out of town for the past 5 months, but it seemed bigger(more brisket) since the last time I've had it and I will give a 👍👍 cause the brisket was cooked to perfection,it was tender & moist to the point that it needed no barbecue sauce,I'm a believer that if it's not over smoked and its tender & moist then sauce needs to get tossed away lol

So delicious!! We happened to be en route to South Padre Island. The BBQ was amazing. Small place but there are 2 picnic tables or you can take it to go. My chopped bbq sandwich was so full of meat. My moms baked potato was massive also. I think she ate it for 3 meals. Anyway, highly highly recommend!
