My wife and I stopped in for lunch today (2/22/20). There is an area out front with corn hole boards, large Jinga blocks, and three of the games where you try to land a ring on a hook, the ring is tied to a string. The string is long and you have to spin it just right. The only bummer was that only one of the three had the actual string and ring, the other two had the strings cut. None the less we gave it a few tries, and gave up since we obviously are no good at that game, and some kids were waiting to give it a go. We sat down to eat and everyone we encountered here was amazing and so nice! It was a beautiful day to eat outside, so we did. They have an indoor and outdoor option. My wife had a bbq baked potato, and I tried a three meat plate with brisket, ribs, and burnt ends. The brisket was amazing, perfect smoke rings and perfect pull to it. Not too hard to pull and not falling apart. Plus I always seem to get brisket pieces from the fatty side and not the flat, here I got the delicious flat that was cut in perfect portions. I did only get one rib where normally with a plate you would receive at least two. I also got burnt ends that were amazing in taste! While we were eating our waitress brought over a side of mac and cheese, said when the cook gave me mine, it was from the bottom of an older batch and this one was fresh. Although I thought it tasted great I really appreciated it. It was very good. We had a very nice experience and will be returning, I know I have seen and heard a few bad reviews myself from this place, but I always like to make my own mind up. I think you would be pleased if you came in and gave it a try.

Cute and small BBQ joint with live music and a relaxed atmosphere. Food was tasty, variety was nice, and the prices were all pretty low. The giant chess set kept my kids entertained for quite a while. Keep in mind there's very little air-conditioned seating, but they do have fans outside.

Great BBQ and sides in a fun, open environment. The menu is small but everything they put on it is great. The burnt ends were flavorful and the pulled pork tender. Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious and the cole slaw had just the right bite to it. Service was fast and friendly. They have drinks available and lawn games to play including cornhole, giant Jenga, and the washers on a string game. We went for lunch but would have loved to be there in the evening to hang out. My only real complaint would be that they only offer one BBQ sauce which was good, but I personally like to have multiple options to try out. A definite recommendation for anyone in the area looking for good BBQ.

The food was kind of average, but I'm not much if a barbecue person. But the atmosphere and service were great!

This establishment has a great atmosphere, showcasing advertisements from old fuel shops. The appetizers were delicious, but the main course items leave a little to be desired. Overall, it is a great place to hang out with friends or a quick bite.

No bark or smoke ring on the fatty brisket my husband got which made the flavor it could have had non existent. The (mashed) potato salad had a chemical taste to it and the sausage skin was so thick and dry it was like plastic. Iam guessing it was collagen skins they used, but not sure. Hubby said they were like survival sticks. The ribs were ok but were a bit dry and lacked a smoky taste like they were really barbecued. The small hot wing dip should be listed as a sample size and it was so dry I don't think it should be called dip. We had to break it up into peices and place it on the chips, then mash it down a lil to get it to stick . Even then the flavor was just not there. I got a loaded potato with brisket and it was also lacking flavor, salt helped some but Iam not sure what was going on. There was a lot of liquid in the bottom of the potato and I was thinking melted butter but if that's what it was it was not real butter. They drizzled sour cream over the potato instead of a scoop or two. Looked pretty in a fancy way but wasn't that much. It could have used more but it was hard to tell with the way it was applied. It cost additional for chives which were actually chopped green onions , not chives. And who charges extra for green onions on a loaded potato? The Watermelon crawl cocktail, tortilla chips that came with the so called dip and the green beans that needed a lil more seasoning were the best part of the meal. In total it was not worth the price, at all. Service was great, decor super cute. I had scoped this place out on google maps/reviews and was looking forward to it. But we have so many more better barbecue places around here, sadly I don't see any reason we would go back to the fill station.

Update 3/3/23: Nicked a star for the Bernie Mac. The protein on the sandwich was pitiful. Looked good. Was not the case. Leaving hungry after a $12 sandwich. Blackberry cider was solid. Worth the try once. 3/15/21: don’t know how they came across it- but they Served up some pappy!! 20, 15, 12, and 10 year flight. Was amazing. Little bit pricey, but worth it for the rarity. Clean. Well done.

First time going got a stuffed baked potato, and one Moscow mule (prickly pear) the drink was really good but the baked potato needed salt, pepper and all the dressings. It mainly had brisket, sour cream and cheese. The brisket was good. I asked the waitress for an appetizer and she forgot. She wasn't really checking up on us as regularly checks so I had to flag her down for the check. The atmosphere of the place is nice especially outdoors on a sunny day. But I'm not sure I'll make another stop unless it's just for a drink.

Lost 2 stars for dry bbq and bad pork belly. 3 stars given for their Excellent whiskey selection. The Mexican old fashioned is on point. Also enjoyed the strawberry lemonade and pain killer cocktail. As far as bbq- stick with the burnt ends, only thing I've had that was enjoyable each time. The potatoes are also big n tasty. We happened to be in town on a Wednesday, ordered the pork belly special, it was bland and overcooked, more reminiscent of jerky, worst pork belly I've ever eaten. My husband's chicken was also overcooked and dry. Recap: yes to cocktails, potatoes and burnt ends. No to pork belly and chicken

We use to live here in Lake Jackson and LOVED this place…each time we visit here (we still have grandkids here) we have to eat here! BUT WE DON’T feel this way any longer. I (we) was so disappointed when my husband brought back brisket…half of this order was nothing but fat with a small amount of real brisket…seeing that my husband bought only a 1/4 of a pound for me that left only 3 pieces that were something that you could eat…we will definitely take our business somewhere else (sadly). Has the management here changed?

It's fine. More theme then hearty good food. There's better places for BBQ and alcohol, but there's plenty worse as well. Edit: since they asked their reply, Brian's BBQ in Clute has far better food. Even the alcohol at the fill station is mostly gimmick. Try Growlers or wayside pub for that. Portion size is small here and appetizers seemed like someone just made a grocery store run and stuck it on a plate. Servers were super attentive and helpful. Was really helpful. Really the bright spot better than other places nearby. So at least I'll give them that?

Trash service Good food and drink. Only could get one drink because they didn't check on me. I liked my meal and my drink but wow was the service bad. The place was not busy. There was one large table and maybe 3 other couples but there were 3 servers and it just sucks to get no check in whatsoever.

Could barely find the meat on a 2-meat sandwich. Got it to go, the service was amazing and order filled quickly. The bag they handed me felt like it had a napkin in it - I seriously thought they forgot to put the sandwich in it. There were 3 thin slices of brisket and 4 even thinner slices of sausage. For $13, I would expect to at least be able to taste the meat over the bread. If you want a decent portion of bbq and aren't looking for a bar, I highly suggest driving a little farther to Smokin Mike's in Clute. Three times the meat for the money (wish I had a photo to show the comparison).
