Brisket on the block, that Texas/korean gold drip
Bark so black, got the smoke ring lit
Juice runnin’ down, yeah the slice don’t quit
Every bite slow jam, that low and slow hit. Fat cap shimmer like a chain in the sun
Meat so tender that the fibers come undone
Pit been workin’ like it’s ‘bout to outrun
Every other plate, this the number one .
Come down and get something great,
Get your girl make it a date,
Leave early so you won’t be late
This is your BBQ fate.

Eaker Barbecue in Fredericksburg is a must-try if you’re craving bold flavors! First visit blew me away-brisket so smoky and tender it melted, with that Korean-Texas twist stealing the show. Loved the sides so much, I went back a second time, loaded up on more mac and kimchi. The meat was just as good as first time but the sides weren’t great this round-mac was soggy, kimchi too bland, and they didn’t hold up for leftovers. Kinda bummed, but the meat’s still top-tier. For now, I’m sticking with Junebugs bbq, but I will give them a third shot at Eaker since sometimes businesses have off days and that’s okay! Worth a visit! Owners are good people & staff are nice! Recommend this place

The dry rub pork ribs pulled off the bone. Delicious!
Pork belly burnt ends had a fantastic seasoning and flavor was slightly sweet. No need for bbq sauce! Tender and satisfying.
Korean cucumber salad was a perfect side with the burnt ends.
Maybe I’ll recreate it?
The bbq sauce had a good flavor and consistency but didn’t need it because of the high quality meat.
We will be back!

Babbbbyyyyy, if you’re thinking about going, GO NOW! It was delicious. The brisket was so tender and literally falling apart. We tried so many different things. I loved the dry rub ribs and sausage, my favorite side was the creamed corn. I didn’t get photos of the sides, but we had beans, Mac and cheese, and rice! My husband and I ended up getting 2 sides of that corn though. lol the banana pudding was fire too! Will definitely return next time we visit.

The best place for BBQ in Fredricksburg. It’s soft, moist and taste so good. I also had the Pork Belly Burnt Ends and it was sooo good! This place will be my new favorite BBQ place in Fredricksburg, I highly recommend to go to this place.

Bar B Q SO GOOD YOU WILL CRY! These cuts of meats and sides are a masterclass in preperation. The brisket was marbled with perfect amounts of fat that was juicy yet didnt overpower the taste of the meat which was top layered with the crispiest skin. The kimchi rice and potato salad was so delicate and flavorful. Delicious! The bar b q sauce could be eaten on its own it is so good. I have celiacs disease so the gluten free menu and prep of food was done in front of you with top standards.

This was our first time to Eaker, and it did not disappoint! The excellent – moist brisket, bulgogi sausage, the Mac and cheese. Honestly, one of my top 5 Mac and cheeses ever… and I’m a Mac and cheese snob! Super cheesy and creamy. The brisket is traditional Texas style, but it was executed well.
The great- kimchi fried rice, Korean marinated cucumbers, gochujang ribs. The fried rice is definitely good, but I don’t quite understand the hype. Good side, not exceptionally noteworthy.
TLDR: get the brisket, bulgogi sausage, and Mac and cheese. Can’t go wrong with anything else, but those are the must haves!

We loved this place! Excellent BBQ, including some with a Korean twist. We tried the brisket, the gochujang ribs, and the bulgogi sausage. All were terrific. The “moist” brisket was smoked perfectly, nice smoke flavor and smoke ring, and oh so juicy. The Korean ribs and sausage were different, but in a good way. We’re not huge fans of thick sauces on meat, but the ribs worked, super tender, fall off the bone! Grateful for the ample supply of napkins at the table!
We had beans and slaw for side, both delicious! Even the garnishes of pickles and pickled onions were first-class. Very good homemade BBQ sauce too. Super friendly owners and staff. Great meal. Highly recommend!

The highlight is the Korean-style side dishes (banchan) and the kimchi fried rice(김치볶음밥). The gochujang-glazed ribs were especially delicious. As for the Texas barbecue, it’s solid, but pretty much standard Texas BBQ.

They had just sold out of their wagyu brisket I was disappointed.
This was at 1: 30p I got the bulgogi sausage and the jalapeno cheddar sausage. The jalapeno is good, the bulgogi sausage has a fine ground texture but I was expecting more. There parking is horrible,we nearly got ran over
