| - Unlike most of the folks who wrote real reviews down below, I'm not from TX and I've never tried TX BBQ. I can't compare it to any place in Austin, Dallas or Lubbock. But I have taste buds. And they liked it. They liked it a lot.
I love BBQ. Sure, there's better and worse BBQ around town based on where ya go, but generally speaking if I go to a BBQ place, I'm going to enjoy myself. But that doesn't mean I'm going to recommend the place, or come back again, and it really doesn't mean that I'm going to write a review on it. But as I sit here wondering how I ate that whole freaking sandwich, I know that I have just had one of the best BBQ nights in a long, long time. And once my stomach isn't full (say, tomorrow afternoon?) I'll be calling friends to plan our next trip there.
OM-frickin-G it is awesome! As has been mentioned in other reviews they hooked us up with some samples when we said we hadn't been there before. Sure, their brisket leaves this taste of buttery meat in your mouth (if you don't understand that, I'm sorry for you) and makes you want much much more - but why has no one mentioned the turkey? We only got a sample of it, but DANG I could eat a lot of that! One day when I'm trying to be "healthy" I'll get that but today was not that day.
I got what I believe was called the Big ol' Boy sandwich. When he called back for the guys to make it he said to make a BIg ol' Girl. Nice touch dude. So the sandwich is 1/3 pound each of BBQ chopped pork, brisket and hot links. I am not a fan of hot links, but figured I'd give it a shot as I liked the general concept (It actually comes out as a sandwich vs. it being a make your own thing...). I LOVED the hotlinks. That casing had an awesome "pop" as you bit into it, had a black pepper-y hint that I loved, and was good enough that I would almost contemplate trying one solo. And I have NEVER felt that way about a hot link before.
Between our samples and our meals I got to try all 3 kinds of brisket and I don't know that I'll be able to tell you my favorite. Like picking a favorite child. Sure, Bobby is the juiciest, but Jimmy tastes intense and smokey...well, you know what I mean...
Not sure how new this is - but they now have 2 BBQ sauces for your eating pleasure. Normal and HOT. Hot won't burn your lip, but definitely makes the tongue to a double take.
And the service. Clap... Clap... Clap..Clap..Clap.Clap.Clap.Clap!!! Right on point. By the end of the end of our introduction to the food we knew what things were made fresh that day, what things were made every other day or weekly, and which ones came from his Grandma's kitchen. Thank you Grandma - for both the recipes and raising folks right. Folks were just as sweet as that tea.
I was also happy to see that even though we got there around 6:20pm and they close at 7pm, there were 3 big parties and 1 to go order that came after us. Please folks - keep these people busy! Don't you dare let this place go out of business because I have found my new BBQ heaven.
Review done. Tummy still full. Texting friends to make our next trip...
