We had a great night!!! The 3 wonderful ladies, Laura, Debbi, and Carrie, treated us like family. My 1st time in Texas and Texas BBQ a must. Grandad said this is the place, and he was right!!! Thank you.
Good Brisket, very tender! Husband loved the ribs! I really liked the jalapeño cheddar sausage! Good sauce! Look close or you’ll drive past it!
The people are great, very friendly. However…. two 2 meats and a extra order of burnts ends…55$ …I literally had an issue..yes 1 rib as part of the 2 meat plate…1 rib that was so salty I could not eat…the brisket was chopped and dry….the sides were simply ok..if you like canned green beans and over cooked almost burnt potatoes. Will never waste 55$ again on this stingy restaurant. The food i got was definitely not award winning as they market themselves. It was sadly disappointing and a total waste of money.
These amazing people catered an event at “His Glory ranch” this past weekend that I attended. The food was absolutely delicious. Melt in your mouth! My favorite was the chicken. They managed to smoke the chicken without drying it out. They also have a very spicy barbecue sauce that I loved. usually when someone says it’s hot, I walk away disappointed, but not here! It put the burn between my ears. Oh, and the peach cobbler for dessert with bluebell ice cream on top? Don’t miss that opportunity either.😋
We were visiting Tyler and ordered this food via Grub Hub. We had the 2/3 meat plate. The portion sizes are small. Very small. There was no bread/toast, which you need with this child like portions. I ordered a hot link and got smoked sausage I swear these green beans were opened from the can and warmed a little and served. No seasoning at all. The mac and cheese was the best thing in the plate. Needless to say, I will not be ordering from here again.
