The bbq here is top-notch. I have eaten at some of the best, and Kelly's can go toe to toe with the big names. Lucky for me, it was Friday, and the pork belly was available. Will be back next time we visit the area. Thank Y'ALL for making great BBQ!

Kelly's catered my daughter's wedding a few weeks ago. We were absolutely thrilled with the food! I have lived in Texas my entire life, and I've had a lot of barbecue. This was some of the best I've ever had. And the fact that we were able to showcase good Texas barbecue at the wedding made us very proud. Everyone commented on how good everything was from the brisket, the smoked turkey, sausage, and the most delicious sides. And they are not your average sides - over the top in every way.

I'm not a beef person and got the turkey tacos. My god they are smokey, moist, and delicious! They've now become my favorite. Two corn/flour tortillas stuffed with chopped BBQ turkey breast, a mild white cheese, drizzled with a tasty sauce, and cilantro sprinkled, along with a lime wedge to punch up the flavor! Good food and friendly service!

2:45pm. Went closer to the end of the day and already was out of sausage and pork ribs so I just settled on the chop beef sandwich, not hearing a knife chopping away told me that that meat had been sitting somewhere in a pan by the chew you could tell they've been sitting for a while sandwich came out. Bunn was just regular temperature not toasted or warm at all. The sauce came in a little 1 ounce cup and then a little bag of pickles, onions And jalapeños add best. It was fair potato salad, though had really good taste and very creamy the gentleman that waited on me was pretty much no nonsense. He was friendly enough to make the sale the lady to put my order together was exceptionally nice. I don't know if maybe that was the wife sister, but she was really nice Sandwich that size could've used more than that one cup of sauce, but that's OK. Was it worth the trip, not really but was hungry.

Kelly's catered our party for 50 people at a friend's house about 20 miles out of town. The food was delivered on time, even early, and was set up very quickly for a very reasonable delivery and setup fee. We had brisket, turkey, sausage with three sides, all hot and delicious. All of our guests wanted to know where it came from as it was the best BBQ they had ever tasted. One of the best decisions we made for the party was to go with Kelly's. We will definitely use them again.
