It's worth the drive to get some great bbq. The service was very good. Food was fork tender with least about of fat on it. Several choices for dessert. The restaurant was very clean, and seating had booths or tables.

It was alright, nothing to write home about but decent. The brisket was a little dry and not very smoky... The sausage was good. The fried okra was perfect. The sauce was good but would have preferred it on the side & should have asked. The beans were alright but plain. Great service, food came fast and the waitress was friendly.

Food came out fast, very tasty. Large basket of pickles, definitely worth the price! Place seems very clean and nice. Service was great, Tylie was attentive and friendly. We tried the peach cobbler with the homemade ice cream, great way to finish the day. I recommend this place!

So glad we stopped by, they do things big here in Texas! Had the brisket, ribs and jalapeno cheese sausage. Sides were mac 'n' cheese, green beans, fried okra and coke slaw. Loved every bite. We managed to share a piece of peach cobbler with ice cream on top. Great way to end the meal. Our food server, Jessica, was friendly and helpful with recommendations. If I ever find myself in San Angelo again, I would definitely come back!
