"While we were deciding what to order, we knew we had to try the brisket, and they kindly offered us a sample, which was delightful. We usually order sausage as well, but after reading some reviews, we opted for the pork ribs instead. Meats are sold by the pound, so we ordered a pound of brisket but were happy to learn that we could get just one rib per person. For sides, we chose a personal-sized pinto bean and potato salad based on previous reviews. When asked if we wanted all the trimmings, we gladly said yes.
The drink selection is somewhat limited, consisting mainly of bottled drinks and water, but I was pleased to find that their Dr. Pepper is the cane sugar/glass bottle version. Everything we tried was delicious, and the price was much better than many other BBQ spots—we spent just over $20 each, including a tip.
The brisket was wonderfully tender and smoky, and the ribs might have even stolen the show—they were incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I started my meal with one of their pickles because they looked so appetizing. I was pleasantly surprised that it had a sweet and spicy flavor, and I wished I had known how good they were beforehand so I could have asked for extras (though I’m sure I could have just gone to the counter to request more).
The potato salad was creamy and well-seasoned, arguably the best I’ve had with BBQ. The pinto beans were even better. Typically, pinto beans can be quite bland, but these were anything but. They were nicely spiced, without being overwhelming, and had a great blend of spices and bacon.
At first glance, this place may not seem like a top-notch BBQ joint when you drive by, and it might feel like it's in the wrong direction from Houston, but if you’re looking for some excellent barbecue at a great price, I highly recommend heading south on Highway 6.
Parking is plentiful, far exceeding the number of seats inside, and they also offer drive-through service."
