| - I will start off by saying - I REALLY wanted to like this place. I would drive by the restaurant on St. Rose on my way home in anticipation for the opening day every since I read the sign saying "Texas BBQ", but I digress. And I was reading through the reviews and saw at least 2 employees post raving reviews - complete deception.
This was by far the WORST BBQ I have ever had. When you brand yourself as "Texas BBQ" you have better be able to fill your "britches" and bring your A-game.
I had the baby back ribs - they tasted old, gamy, and had thar nasty old pork taste and lacked any flavor whatsoever. When pork is fresh and cooked right, it should taste moist, buttery, and just taste delicious. This was not the case. I ate one rib and it was one rib too much.
My other half had the brisket - it was tough, Chewy, dry and had ZERO flavor.
The Mac and cheese tasted like nothing other than extreme smoke. Tasted burned and flavorless. Tasted nothing but smoke.
The baked beans were overly sweet and had a strong pungent flavor of a concoction I had never tasted before. Canned baked beans were better than this.
The owner or manager circled the floor as I stated to my other half, "I have never had ribs this bad before." I know he heard me because He stated, "if there's something you don't like, I will be happy to bring you something else.
I felt so bad and was far too embarrassed to be a jerk and confront him when clearly he felt so proud of their new business. I nodded and he continued on to the next table.
The atmosphere was far too quiet, the tables were far too big and spread apart. There was no energy. It was dark and lacked that upbeat atmosphere you expect from a BBQ restaurant.
When we first arrived, people would come in and see the food and would walk right out. 7 peolple ahead of us left shortly after we arrived. That should've been our cue to take our leave as well. The food was placed in an assembly line - cafeteria style. You could tell that the food had been sitting there a while on the food warmers. But still, I wanted to give it a chance despite my other half wanting us to leave.
We had a few bites of each of our plates and decided to get a to go box to take to feed a homeless person who was in dire need of food. I felt horrible throwing food away, do I didn't.
The only thing that was good was my blue moon I had before we ran out of the place.
I love BBQ especially with my spouse being from Texas. I wish I had a raving review but for the first time, I have to give the lowest review possible.
If you are a BBQ enthusiast, please beware before wasting your money. This place isn't that cheap and the food was an utter disappointment. :-(
The staff was friendly, but that was the extent to the good about this place.
We settled for raising canes in the same parking lot after wasting a Friday evening out on a horrible experience.
I really do hope they remedy this quickly because it does look like they did put a lot of into it.
