Our go to place for breakfast. Friendly, clean and delicious. We always feel welcomed and enjoy Keese's often. This is a good stopover for families, hunters and motorcyclists as seasons change. I like the hometown Hill Country decor.

Ordered a brisket sandwich and it was delicious. Normally I like plenty of bbq sauce with my brisket, but this brisket tasted great without any sauce at all. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful.

The chop brisket was so good! Just the way it should be, nice and meaty, burnt ends on a bun, unsauced to showcase the flavors of the meat and smoke...yum!

The cucumber salad was AMAZING!! It alone was worth the drive! We had the brisket sandwich and sausage links. The brisket was tender and plentiful, and the links were great also. The sauce had just the right twang. We would definitely recommend.

Small town diner. Owner will stop by chat and tell you history of the town. If you are riding the 3 twisted sisters it’s a must stop for breakfast. The locals will even tell you where speed traps are! Great location, food, atmosphere, and service!

Fairly decent down to earth food when out on the road. Pro-tip—don’t just trust the menus for all your food choices. Ordered a cheeseburger and it was good. But when I finished and went walking around, there were many more options. Foodie friend said chicken fried steak was average. Friendly staff and cute place overall.

Everything was cooked perfectly. Waitress seemed like she just didn't care. No checkbacks and after sitting 20 minutes after eating, we had to call her to get a check. 10 minutes after getting the check we had to call her again so she would pick up payment. Even so, this is a great little place to stop at and enjoy great food

Pretty good food at a good value. Server was a little short but nice. Talking up a local, Jim, was our highlight here.

Nothing to say except the food was mediocre at best. Didn't feel like a very warm and friendly environment. I ate quick and moved on out of town. Well at least the town was neat to pass thru and the old car adds to the charm of the area.

Arriving after 10:59 meant no more breakfast. I was given two options by default: no breakfast or order a meat dish. I had brisket. The brisket was tender and moist but sadly lacked seasoning. The portion was more than adequate. The potato salad was good. The other sides were pickles, onion, beans, and a slice of bread. Tea is only available in unsweet. As the town has no public sewage, be prepared to use the portapotty. Will I go back? Absolutely but before 10:59.

The ribs were horrible. Best thing that can be done is throw away the microwave in the kitchen and cook to order. Ribs were grey and tasted like the microwave. Burgers were good as well as the brisket but ribs were a big no.

Ugh...we were pretty excited to come here on our ride. The service was terrible. The food was edible at best. Just really not up to standards at all. Not too picky on our rides, bit of all places for breakfast I have had...this is one of the least prepared to service customers

The place is quaint and the service friendly However, the food is bad. I got pork ribs, which were greasy and flavorless. The brisket was good, but did not taste like barbecue at all. Sausage not good. My friend had carne guisado , which was white meat with sort of white gravy; turned out to be greasy pork, not beef, because the cook likes pork better. Beans and potato salad good. Don't recommend at all.

Terrible! I've been to so many BBQ business. And this is the worst! I ordered the Meat Loaf Special. And was very under cooked. I asked for a couple of slices of Brisket and it very greasy. I told them would if they eat this crap! Cobbler was the only thing that was fair. Thats why i gave them a 1 star. Never again. And the owner was very prejudice. Never again! The worst!

The bbq was horrible, the sign in the window said fresh pit bbq, it definitely was not fresh. The ribs tasted old and microwaved. The serviced sucked. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

The service was all over the place and the brisket and the ribs tasted liked they baked it in the oven very dry no smoke flavor and bland the brisket was dry and had hard chuncks. But soaked the sandwich buns with what I'm guessing the remaining juices from the glassbottom pan that it was baked in. And to make it even better. The bathroom ... There is no plumbing it's an out house u know the stuff u find at music festivals or in ur great great great great grandmas house or something yeaahhhh not a place to go with family and friends

The bbq was terrible. We were so excited when we saw a bbq place on our way to our vacation. The brisket was pretty much not edible. The food was very over priced. They only had two sides: potato salad and beans. Would definitely keep passing through before you stop here.

I'm sorry to say, but this place is NOT good. This BBQ was not cooked on site, it was so tough and the flavor was gross!!! This Pic is of the chopped beef sandwich. I would NOT recommend. The young lady who served us, was clearly bothered to have to do SO. Do yourself a favor and skip it.

If I could, I wouldn’t even give this place 1 star. First off , you’ll have to wait for the worlds slowest cashier, and btw, she is also the waitress. The food was absolutely bland and the pork ribs were some of the worst I’ve ever had. I didn’t even eat half my plate. No offers for refills on drinks during our meal. The toothpick was literally the best part of the whole experience.
