This was a pit stop on our roadtrip. Googled BBQ near me, and selected Bucking Good. Brisket snd P-Paw's sauce were very good. Wish each haf been a bit warmer. but this was a late lunch. Sides were the best we've eaten at a BBQ place. Had smokey mac n cheese and fried okra. If both were not made from scratch I'd be surprised Definitely the fried were. Worth the stop, intentional or planned.

Eat here.They don't skimp on the brisket sandwich. Big meat and big flavor.Get a sandwich all the way, with jalapeños. And snag those 2 free beers.If you don't like this place, you probably don't like real Texas BBQ anyways.

They forgot to cook our entire order/party of 6, then did not get our order right. Took almost one hour. Had to get refunded for the bbq 2 meat platter and mac and cheese because they just didn't cook it. Burger was drier than cereal and 1/8" thin soybean patty!!!

I'm from Lockhart. I eat a lot of BBQ. This place had the best plate of BBQ I've had in 20 years. Had the brisket and sausage plate with beans and potato salad. Great people and great food. If you are planning a road trip to Lockhart, change directions and head to San Saba.

I was hungry and stopped to eat some breakfast. The problems started with the ordering process with a bad card reader. No big deal, payed cash. My over easy eggs were 100% done hard fried eggs, no big deal I ate em, the sausage patties were so thin you could fold em up and eat em in one bite, no big deal, I ate em. The "diced potatoes" which was at most a half of a small potato was hard to eat with small plastic utensils, nonetheless I ate em. The reason for the review was the unsweetened ice tea, it was not for human consumption, which in Texas is a crime, it didn't look like iced tea, sure didn't taste like iced tea but came out of an urn that said iced tea. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this story had to be told. Details details details. Hopefully they get the picture.
