Brisket is flavorful, moist and tender. Turkey is moist even after sitting for almost an hour. Sides are great which unfortunately are not very good at most bbq joints. Better than Heim, Panther City BBQ, Angelos. It’s worth the drive from FW.

This place has the best barbeque you can get. My favorite is the gobbler sandwich...thick sliced, slow smoked turkey breast, mozzarella, fried onion tanglers and chipotle mayo on a soft, buttery jalapeno sourdough bun. We eat there once a week. Next time, I will get a pic.

Best brisket I have ever had. Juicy, thick cut, with a perfect crust on it! The fresh buns were also perfect, fluffy, buttered, and toasted! Love it!

Craig Johnson

Very Good BBQ....I have never had anything I disliked. Just tried the BBQ tacos with brisket meat, Very Good. Beans, Potato Salad, Cob Corn are all great. Will be a customer for a long time.

You cannot miss out on this hidden gem. Set right next to a track where on most days you can watch a Ferrari or Porsche take a pass or two is the best bbq in Texas. Breakfast burritos are enormous and the salsa is homemade. The brisket is my favorite at any time of day but you cannot go wrong. The street tacos have homemade Pico and an avacado salsa that will change your life. Love this place.

J
John Herbold

Very underrated BBQ. Far better than anything to be had in Granbury, and up in the same category as the upper echelon Fort Worth area joints, in my opinion. I have never had a meal here that wasn't excellent.

Ryan Minyard

Ate here for the first time today. We had the gobble sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Cornbread salad and corn side were excellent. Definitley reccomend. Will be back.

Best BBQ on the planet. I fly from DC to get it. The brisket is out of this world and you need to try the Shanghai sandwich. Get there early, they close when they run out of food. Love it.

I’ve eaten at a lot of places across the country, and this was by FAR the best bbq I have ever eaten. I got the gobbler. The turkey was so flavorful and moist, every part about it was delicious.

Excellent BBQ. Great sides - gotta try the cornbread salad and the colesaw! Awesome sweet tea! Unique little place in a gas station. Looking for something out of the ordinary, you gotta check it out!

The breakfast burritos are amazing. They make each order with love. They have amazing food.

The best prime brisket I have ever laid my lips on. Wanted ribs but they were already sold out. John assured me he has a plan so that won't happen in the future. True love.

My favorite brisket in North Texas. Pepper rubbed. Definitely some oak in the smoke. It's always perfectly cooked. Tender. Sliced correctly. Don't need sauce for this one. His pulled pork is very similar rub. Moist and flavorful. Haven't tried his ribs yet. Great veggie side selection. Baked potatoes are wonderful.

Candi V. Reyes

Loved their loaded baked potato with the brisket!!!!! The brisket was seasoned great and was chopped up perfect for my 1 yr old to eat as well. This bbq restaurant is a must try!!! I will be returning soon!!! ;)

After reading a few negative replies (mostly on price) I thought I would throw out a review. I've been here no less than 10 times and yes, ALL good BBQ is on the pricey side. Go to Dickie's if you want a chopped beef with some fat for a reasonable price. If you want GREAT BBQ then stop here at BBQOTB. Good luck finding better in the state. I've tried almost everything on the menu and never been disappointed. As far as the folks who work there.....hard working and very friendly. My first time in there I ordered a beer and was told they didn't serve it but you could grab it from the convenient store (shares a common door) next door and bring it in. I was after the BBQ anyway so I ordered tea. As I was eating the owner came by and had purchased 2 six packs next door and gave me 2 beers...no charge. Yeah....I just hate rude service like that myself too :) Seriously extremely friendly staff. Some people just think the world owes them a butt smooch when they are the ones with the issue. Keep doing what you do BBQOTB. You rock and so does your world class BBQ....

OH M GEEE soooooo yummy! Had the Quesidillo that was made with the best tasting Brisket I have ever had!! Wasn't a huge fan of the cornbread salad but wasn't expecting an actual salad. Let it be me to make an A$$ of myself for assuming it was suppose to be like a corn casserole type dish.

The brisket is exceptional. The sausage is dang good. The pulled pork melted in my mouth. The only thing that would change is less pepper throughout the pulled pork. I'd rather sprinkle it on if I need more. Just good ol' simple pulled pork is my thang. We ate it all gone. I will go back for sure. 🐷

Best BBQ brisket, smoked turkey, sausage & ribs served in no frills with indoor and outdoor seating. Casual delisciousness!

Just on the south edge of Cresson on US-377 they're smoking some wonderful barbecue in a gas station/convenience store location. So far I've tried brisket, smoked sausage, and ribs, and have always been impressed. Especially if you live on the west side of Fort Worth, this place is well worth the short drive.

J

The ribs are fabulous. The baked beans are full of meat - burnt ends. Everything tasted great and the ribs were tender. Staff is super friendly. Highly recommend this stop if you’re near cresson.

Brisket, potato, egg and cheese breakfast burrito is awesome! Mild salsa is a nice addition. If I'm ever back this way, that's my spot! Thank you for the great breakfast!

Absolutely solid place for a BBQ sandwich. I go here every opportunity I get. Favorite sandwich has been the Gobble.

As you drive by, don't let the gas station with BBQ joint off to the side fool you. This place has first class brisket. The cole slaw is spicy and different than any you've ever tried. The prices are fair and there's plenty of seating inside as well a small porch which makes for a lot of fun watching the cars on the race track next to it.

Grew up in the Texas Hill Country eating texas dry rub bbq my whole life --- these folks have perfected the art! The smoked turkey sandwich was absolutely incredible. Everything was so full of flavor AND they make their chopped beef on the block in front of you --- SO Fresh and delicious! Even if it's out of the way, this place is a must try. We'll definitely be back when we come to the area again.

K
Kristi Johnson

The best chopped brisket sandwich in the Fort Worth area. It's worth the 20+ minute drive out there. Don't fret if there is a pickup parted in the drive thru. If it's windy they don't use the drive thru because it creates a wind tunnel effect and blows the kitchen stuff around. Just head inside and they'll fix ya right up with some of the best eatin' around.

I seen this place in Texas monthly so I figured I would give it a try. I have almost given up on finding some good bbq. Well I found it here. I have been to over 200 bbq restaurants and this place is high on my list. First thing the people were friendly. That's kind of rare these days unfortunately. After getting my food I ask for extra sauce. He told me it's on the table but he said try a bite without sauce. I was like yeah yeah yeah. I love bbq sauce. The brisket was so good I didn't touch the sauce. Amazing flavor. The sausage was good to. My girlfriend had ribs which were also very good. If I could have it would have given them 10 stars. Truly a good old fashion bbq restaurant. Can't wait to go back

J
Joe Cates

I’ve only had the brisket because it’s so damn good I can’t get past it to order anything else. I’ve eaten a lot of brisket over my 65 years and this is the best! It’s got great flavor, tenderness and perfect amount of smoke. The brisket burnt end baked beans are also a great treat. Keep up the good work John!

Barbara Menard

Great barbecue....sliced brisket sandwich. Piled high, very favorful and super tender.

Probably one of the 3 best BBQ places I have ever been too. The brisket is absolutely the best I have ever had. They make a turkey sandwich on jalapeno cheese bread that is crazy good. Get the jalapeno cheese bread instead if white bread no matter what you order. The ribs and pulled pork are also really good. The sauce is excellent.

Great food, came here many times during husband’s track events. Moist brisket, delicious jalapeño sausage. 2nd floor seating has a nice view facing the track.

Ray Sharradh

Had the brisket quesadilla and it was delicious! And they don't just use one tortilla and fold it over - it was TWO tortillas, cut into quarters. Small place tucked into a gas station with ample seating and a HUGE menu. Highly recommend!

M
Mario Arroyave

Atmosphere for 3 stars because it's attached to a gas station...but if you eat on the patio as we did then it overlooks a car race track which is pretty neat. This is the best BBQ I've ever had. And yes I've been to Salt Lick near Austin. A gem in a small town near Ft Worth.

This place was delicious! I had the shanghai and it was perfect. Jalapeno sausage brisket pickles and onions on a really good bun. I also got a jar of their bread and butter jalapenos that looked amazing. Their house bbq sauce was also really good- it seemed to be more of a vinegar based sauce and not super sweet and disgusting like most bbq sauces. Loved it- wonderful food to top off some first time flying.

Classic family owned and operated delicious BBQ! You can tell these people pour their heart and soul into the business and the owner walks around to check on customers. The food is amazing so come hungry. Gotta get the brisket and jalapeño sausage!

The gobbler is 100% the GOAT! Literally the best sandwich I have ever had in my 36 years of life! And yall I've never even had one fresh (cuz our neighbor is the one who drives down there and brings them back so I always eat it 2 hours after made lol) and STILL no argument, the best sandwich of all time!

B
B Caruthers

This place by far has the best BBQ around. The meat is flavorful, tender and NOT greasy. If you are REALLY hungry, try the Shanghi, it has LOTS of food with amazing flavor. The sides are wonderful with lots of variety. Give it a try, you will be glad you did.

David Hitchings

One of the best ribs I have eaten in thirty years, moist, flavorful and just a down right pleasure eating. The meat pulled away from bone with little effort. Was not as keen on the brisket, cannot understand why the cut with the grain. I will say their Jalapeño cheese grits were the bomb. Overall very good experience and very social and friendly staff.

G
Greg Stevens

I was in the area for the first time in many years. I stopped in to the adjacent store to use the restroom and grab a drink. I ventured over to buy a sliced beef sandwich. It was one of the best ever. I'm not sure what kind of bun they use, but it was great. The meat was plentiful and juicy. Great job!

J
Jerry Henderson

Best smoked turkey breast in town. The brisket is good. It seems to have a pecan flavor which I like alot. The brisket is not the best I have ever had, but in the top 3.

Justin Lane and I went here today as part of our monthly trip. The staff was very friendly and wanted to hear about out Barbque trips. John, the owner, came over and talked to us. The ribs are great. Moist, thick and tasty. Highly recommend this place. God bless you John and all your staff. You will do great at this location.

BBQ on the Brazos was selected to cater my husband’s birthday party. They provided sliced brisket, sausage, turkey, potato salad, beans and all the trimmings for 35 people. We chose BBQ on the Brazos because they have always had the best BBQ around. Our guests raved about how good the food was. Most said it was the best BBQ they have had. In addition, they loved the turkey which was flavorful and not dry. Thanks, BBQ on the Brazos for being a part of making our party a success!

J
Juan V

The ribs were on point. The brisket is legit. Missed it on the jalapeño grits. Apparently the cook only cooks them when she's in the mood for it. My loss I guess. Lol. The staff was really friendly and helpful. I'll swing back if I'm ever thru this way. Stop by and maybe you'll get to enjoy them grits.

Hands down the best pulled pork and jalapeño sausage sandwich I've ever had! Sauce is delicious as well. Nice work Brazos! Great staff clean place. Also the potato salad is now also my favorite ever! 😍

Talk about excellent. Your mouth will start watering from the first smell. Then when you take your first bite, your mouth will thank you. Can cut the brisket with a spork. The potato salad, ribs, jalapeño sausage and bread are excellent. Very, very good. If you are a BBQ fan, heck if you are a meat enthusiast, this is up there with the best. Definitely worth a trip. I recently got delivery for the office to Corpus Christi, Texas. Very well packed, easy to heat, fresh and delicious. Thank you Kathryn and John for a wonderful experience!

Amazing food and great staff! The brisket was moist and had a great flavor. A bonus is being able to sit on the balcony and watch the DriveXotic cars race the track! Would definitely eat here again.

I tried to go there yesterday to eat lunch but the parking lot was full and so is the restaurant. I went by this afternoon to get enough beef and a couple sides so my wife and I could have a sandwich for dinner and we didn’t have to cook. They were almost sold out of everything at 1:30 . The owner heard what I was saying and ended up chopping me up the little bit of brisket that they had left and I got turkey and beans. Oh my God if you don’t try this place you are missing out on the best barbecue around here! By the way, there was so much food, that I will be eating that on the road on my way to Austin tomorrow in a burrito!😋😋😋

Don't let the fact that it's attached to a gas station deter you. This is some of the best BBQ in North Texas. I know this sounds crazy, but the (smoked turkey) Gobbler sandwich is a sleeper knockout!

I have eaten many times at this restaurant. I have tender slice beef that is pull apart tender and excellent chop beef sandwiches. They have a jalapeno coleslaw that is the bomb. They have the normal side that you would expect in any barbecue place.

The Turkey gobbler sandwich they make ( I think that's what its called) is THE best sandwich I've ever had anywhere! The other food is excellent too and they are just the sweetest people. I highly recommend Brazos BBQ!

I am hesitant to post this review about BBQ on the Brazos. Hear me out, I selfishly want you people to coast down the road and not stop in at this joint in Cresson, but I realize I would be doing a huge INJUSTICE to my fellow human beings. This place is a hole in the wall that has award winning BBQ. I personally believe they have the best Breakfast Tacos that rival anything in DFW. The atmosphere is laid back, and the owner and staff are friendly. Get anything on the menu... I promise you, you will be back when you're in the neighborhood. BBQ on the Brazos is a treasure.

I read almost all the reviews and came to the conclusion. It’s no different than our national election. You can’t please all the people. Perhaps they might take on the task of providing the world with the Greatest BB-Q ever? My experience, food, atmosphere was more than adequate. Actually I will choose to eat here again because I can. Only in America do you have so many choices where to dine. In conclusion take the doubters with a grain of salt. They were probably not having a GREAT DAY, and can’t find positive things in anything.

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical because it is located in a gas station but this is some of the best BBQ I have ever had here in Texas or anywhere else. Also, the staff was welcoming and very attentive. I ordered the Chop Sandwich and Fries. It was $11 for the sandwich but it was loaded with meat and on a high quality bun. Worth every penny. My only regret was not tipping the staff more as I was on the road and took my meal to go. Highly recommend

Whoa this food is AMAZING! Pulling up, you’re like really? But this little whole is some of the best food I had in a LONG time! I ordered the special- Chicken Bomb. Chicken breast stuffed with asparagus, jalapeños, mushrooms, cream cheese, and wrapped in bacon. It’s smoked to perfection! Juicy and flavorful but not too salty. Cheeses jalapeño grits and green beans for the side. The horsy sauce is so goood! Can’t wait to come back!!

We all know this is the best BBQ spot. They draw you in with breakfast tacos. Woo you with the best okra I’ve ever had, and Keep you there with all the best brisket you’ve ever had. That said, y’all really outdid yourselves with this Brisket Torta. Tire was a special item but it should definitely become part of the regular items. That’s my vote! I love it.

This place has some of the best BBQ within a 100 mile range. This brisket is the best with ribs coming in at a close 2nd. Get there before 2 pm if you can. It goes fast!!!

I stop in for the brisket, best I've had around dfw. Relaxed place to sit and watch cars on the track next door while enjoying bbq or quick pick up when just passing by. The sides and other stuff are OK, but the prize is definitely the brisket!!

C
CLeeG

The brisket is amazing, whether you get a sandwich or the brisket tacos.... One great highlight of the brisket is it's so moist that it really doesn't need much bbq sauce. Also, consider trying the slaw. It's uniquely delicious--no mayo or Miracle Whip in it at all.

J
James Johns

BBQ was ok. A friend (who is a BBQ fanatic) read about it in the Texas Monthly for the Top 50 BBQ places, so he wanted to try it while in town. None of us were impressed with the food. It was pretty good but, it really was like any other BBQ you can get at a local chain restaurant. Not worth the hour round trip drive.

J
Johnny Jobe

I had the breakfast burrito, does not disappoint. Won't leave hungry, usually I cut in half some now some later. Not that burrito it disappeared. My girlfriend had the chopped BBQ sandwich, couldn't finish it so I really doubled up. Put it on your list if you're driving through.

3 stars? 4 stars? 5 stars? I'm struggling to rate this restaurant because the food was so flavorful, tender, and absolutely delicious. However, the older woman at the register taking orders wasn't the nicest person nor did she make us feel welcome. She's the 1st face a customer sees, a welcoming smile or a polite greeting goes a long way. I had no idea this establishment was in the Texas Monthly Top 50 list, until I logged in to leave this review. The young man & young lady chopping/prepping the food were kind and had smiles on their faces. Because of them and the outstanding food I decided to rate this restaurant 4 stars...had the older woman taking our order been kind or at the very least smiled I'd given this place 5 stars. So if you're looking for good BBQ (or the best turkey sandwich) this place is worth the drive, if you're looking for a polite greeting and welcoming experience you'll be disappointed. I spent approx. $70, a simple hello would have been nice. With that being said, I will most definitely be back and will revise my review accordingly.

I was a little disappointed, but it was marginally better than most bbq in the area. I tried the brisket and ribs, and they were clearly reheated from the day before. Still good, but a little offputting to pay $17 for yesterday's leftovers and mediocre sides. I'd hoped to try a little more, but they only sell 1/2 pound minimums, so it's not easy to try more than a couple things. Overall, not bad but not great. Doubt I'll go back to see if it's any better on the days they do cook.

Good above average bbq, many different variations not just brisket and ribs. Great lunch options. Usually enough seating plus they have a drive-thru

I recommend this close establishment definitely. The cost is a little up but for the taste, well worth it. Brisket did have some fat and almost a little to much pepper for someone that doesn't like pepper, yet I ate the slices and the regular sausage. The okra was good on taste but a little soggy. I had to use air fryer to. make a bit crunchy for me, my liking. Chopped brisket is just as good and worked well going on bread with BBQ sauce.

The chicken bomb was great after the first bite being a little dry. It was later for lunch than usual, and chicken dries quickly, so it was not a surprise. The slaw tossed in the tomatilla sauce was quite tasty. The brisket and pork tacos were top notch. Rib meat quesadilla had a great taste and pecan cobbler was on point. Great breeze upstairs watching the track below with several supercars going by.

Very simple and cozy BBQ spot. Inside a gas station and beside a race track - very iconic place to visit. I had the famous globber sandwich - an extra terrestrial delicious 😋😋😋😋 turkey sandwich. Made with unique buns and succulent turkey - undescribable delicious.

Tried BBQ on the Brazos for the first time while in town for a track day at MSR Cresson, after seeing them on the Texas Monthly Top 50 list. The BBQ was good and definitely worth the stop if you are in town. My brisket was tasty if not slightly dry and the sides were good as well.

Chris Olsen

Brisket was good. Cornbread salad and potato salad. Not so much. Sweet tea was also good. It was pretty expensive for what you got. They where not busy.

Keith Carnley

My friends and I consider ourselves connoisseurs of Texas BBQ and any new restaurant immediately gets added to our lunch list. I have long heard the praises of BBQ on the Brazos since it was in Cresson and was disappointed it closed before I got to try it. When we heard the Ft. Worth location had opened they were moved to the top of the list. We arrived at 11:30 Saturday morning and found a short line and a dining room about 25% filled. I noticed the menu had all of the standards and was not too bloated. Up by the register was a board displaying the daily specials and the Loaded Baked Potato caught my eye. I saw a few people ahead of me getting the potato and it looked too good not to get. A Loaded Baked Potato with brisket and an extra side of jalapeno sausage (I get it anywhere it's on the menu) was the plan. Before I reached the counter the Specials board was updated - no longer did it show the Loaded Baked Potato, in its place was Brisket Tacos. Oh, and I heard them telling another customer "we are out of the jalapeno sausage". WHAT!? At 11:30 in the morning, in an unbusy restaurant, you are ALREADY running out of items!? Not a good first impression and I was left scrambling to decide on a different entree before reaching the counter. Not in the mood to drop $20 on the 3-meat plate, my usual order at most BBQ joints, I opted for the Shanghai Sandwich, chopped beef and smoked sausage. With an iced tea, the total came to a little over $14. Better be a big, filling sandwich for that price. Well, upon claiming my order I was again met with disappointment. The sandwich was not big at all. I don't typically sauce my bbq, reserving the sauce strictly for meat that needs help to make it more palatable, but since the sandwich came undressed I had no choice. Overall, the brisket and the sausage had good flavor but I had difficulty keeping the ingredients between the bread. As much meat went onto the tray as went into my mouth. My suggestion would be a different bread that could better contain the contents. My dining companions, who had eaten at the Cresson location, said the food wasn't as good. They both had ordered sides and felt the flavor and quality were not up to what they had before. Everybody's portions seemed small for the price paid. The meat fell short of their expectations. Based upon past experience with the old location, we're chalking it up to the challenges of a new facility and new equipment. We plan to come back in 6 months hoping the bugs are worked out. Until then, considering the other options in the area, my money is still on Billy's Oak Acres BBQ down the road.

Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ joint. Very nice owner who loves BBQ. Worth a drive; might choose a different place of top notch brisket is whT you crave. Some tell us you should try the turkey sandwich. We'll go back to try that.

There are a lot of options. Pork ribs were good. You can sit on the balcony outside and watch the track.

Enjoyed the brisket taco (even though the tortilla was very stiff); ribs and cornbread salad were good. I felt the staff could have been more friendly (to be clear, they were not rude, but there is a difference between "not rude" and friendly). Charging for water cups, wouldn't give me a piece of brown paper so I could wrap up my food to go (though in fairness, they did part with a piece of foil) - the experience felt a bit "inflexible".

Ashley Odom

We tried this place for the first time today... it was ok. I must say that the staff was super friendly and the place was very clean! As for the food, eh, just ok. We tried the chopped brisket, the pulled pork, regular sausage, sliced brisket, and the ribs. Everything was very dry. Like it was leftover or had been sitting there under a heat lamp. The potato salad is more like sour cream and onion chips and their Mac n cheese is more like a runny casserole. The only thing that was good was their Banana Pudding! Wasn’t awful but wasn’t the best. Sorry, BBQ on the Brazos!

Good brisket and sausage was so so. After driving more than an hour to try their BBQ it would be nice to try a little of everything. They only sell by the half pound (most sell by the quarter pound) and you must buy ribs by the half rack (most sell ribs simply by weight allowing you to buy individual ribs).

The food and staff were amazing! It was the only home cooked meal I had on our time away from home. The staff were so friendly, lots of tables (even some outside upstairs if you want to sit out). It’s a simple restaurant seating, would be easy to have a party or large group upstairs (think it’s only stairs, not sure but also a washroom located up there). Some tables are on the main floor which would be wheel chair accessible. It’s not fancy. It smells like 100% bbq the moment you walk in, which is amazing and how you tell it’s all fresh. Loved it. I was skeptical since it’s behind the gas station but it’s amazing. Will go back. The hours and prices are the reason for the 3 stars and not 5. It’s a bbq house yet only open till 2 pm and only on some days. This is the kind of meal I’d more want for a dinner but not an option I guess unless you planned ahead and did take out. I’d love to see evening hours. Will try to stop by next time we are in the area as it’s absolutely worth the trip in. We got the 3 meat platter for one person and shared it between 2 of us as it was lunch time (the only time they are open). Our cost with a $5 tip ended up being $50.17 Canadian for 2 drinks and one meal. It was overpriced for what we got for sure.

I sat at the window for 8 minutes she looked out the window twice the finally came to the window to ask what in wanted. I got the ribs they were pretty and tender and that’s where it stopped there was no smoke no notable seasoning on them. Why people are raving about their ribs is beyond me.

So, at 11:30 on a Saturday I arrive at barbecue on the Brazos. No pit smoke in the air and only 2 people sitting down. I got a $9 brisket sandwich and a 1/2 cup of potato salad for$3. The sandwich was edible but the buns were a funky sweet. The potato salad was bland. This joint won't be around long.

This BBQ joint is attached to a gas station on Hwy 377 in Cresson, TX. I ordered the two meat plate, sliced brisket and ribs, with sides of potato salad and cornbead casserole. The ribs had a nice glaze and weren’t too chewy. The flavor was good, but nothing special. The sliced brisket had a deliciously peppery & salty bark, but unfortunately the meat was very dry and made for a disappointing experience. The scoop potato salad was about the size of a tennis ball and flavorless. I added plenty of salt, pepper, and even BBQ sauce to make it edible. It looked like they put their potato salad in a blender and then use an ice scream scoop to dish it out. I couldn’t figure out what the cornbread casserole was supposed to be. When I first got it, it was swimming in a milky white sauce. I stirred it all together before trying it. One bite was all I could stand. I don’t blame thIS BBQ joint, I blame myself. With so many GREAT BBQ joints in Texas and the DFW area, I have no idea why I stopped at a gas station and expected great BBQ.

Worst BBQ I have ever eaten. The ribs were dry and overcooked not to mention they were cold. The coleslaw and potato salad were nasty too. The price is outrageously high as well. If there was a way to give it less than 1 star I would.

My husband & I have eaten here on multiple occasions and continue to come back because the food is awesome. However, on our visit today, we were severely disappointed. We used the drive-thru and ordered 2 chopped brisket sandwiches, a 6 oz side of slaw & a 6 oz side of potato salad...for a grand total of $21.06. We thought it seemed a little steep considering the sign said $7 per sandwich & $1.50 per side. We calculated everything and realized it should have been $18.40 with taxes. My husband took the food & receipt inside to question this confusion. Apparently the sandwiches inside are $7.25 each and the sides $2.50 each. My husband calmly explained that the prices on the menu outside were different & that he didn't think it was fair to pay extra. The lady was very rude & quickly said there was no way he would be reimbursed the difference. So he proceeded to ask for all of our money back. She once again was extremely rude & said, "Well give me back the food". He gave her the food & was given the money back. Zero customer service. We will not be back despite living only 5 minutes away & the food being delicious. Ultimately the few bucks wouldn't have kept us away, but the way they treat customers is unforgivable.

No bark set on brisket, the fried okra was greasy and chewy (not crispy). The macaroni and cheese was awful. The noodles were mushy and the cheese sauce wasn’t any good. Disappointed that they were on the Texas Monthly as an honorable mention. And it is not on the river.

We came in about 1:45, Tuesday, 11/26. This restaurant does not value their customers - we were not welcomed with a hello or “glad you’re here”. The cashier rudely said “there’s the menu and there are today’s specials”. Not having ever been here before, we were not quite sure what to do, it was a rather confusing, and the woman at the cash register was off-hand and not helpful. Perhaps training in customer service and graciousness would help her attitude. Thank goodness the woman behind her (doing all the work), gave us the information we needed. The food was expensive, sides a bit bland, but the brisket was good.

The 2 women working have No business in customer service, rude, make you feel like it's a bother to help you also extremely over priced. However the convenience store side was great.

Drive all over Texas, this is not BBQ, it's a glorified Beef Jerky stand that sells side items. I never thought I would find a worse BBQ restaurant than Bill Miller's BBQ. Any real Texas BBQ lover would understand that reference. On a good note, I broke my belt later in the day, I have stapled 4 pieces of their sliced brisket together, it's holding up nicely.

Came in and ordered a quesadilla with Fries. And when I got home the fries were were soggy and couldn’t get them out of the paper bag and the tortillas were soaked from the grease from the fries. When I tried to pull the quesadillas out they were stuck to each other and just came apart. I only got to eat 1 and was so disappointed! Sure the rest of the food is good but the quesadillas are impossible to eat if you get them to go.
