Couple friends and I decided to try Salt Pepper Oak BBQ. The staff a super friendly, and want to make sure you have a great experience. The brisket had a good smoker to it. The ribs are falling off the bone. Cornbread was good and had a little bit of a spicy kick to it. I really enjoyed a street corn and the cheesy grits were really good. Also found out they make all the desserts fresh every day. The chocolate chip cookie was really good and really rich. If you like barbecue and in the area? Definitely give a try.

All I can say is WOW. The brisket they serve is by far the best and most perfectly tender I’ve ever had. A definite stand out from other places. The ribs were tender but not fall off the bone, which is how I prefer them. Seasoning on the ribs was very good, not the biggest fan of St. Louis style ribs but quality outshines type of rib every day. Mac-n-cheese was good but way to cheesy, grits were great, cornbread was excellent, loaded fries were unique play on what I thought it would be. I enjoyed them though. Strawberry banana cheesecake was delicious with one of the best crusts period. Even with all that positivity the staff was by far the true ingredient in this recipe for success. Best staff experience hands down I’ve had in BR. Well done SPO, well done.

Overall theme: overcooked and dry.
This is my second time eating here and the theme has been the same.
I ordered 1/4 pound fatty/moist brisket, 1/4 pound lean brisket, 3 bones of the spare ribs, one link of their house sausage, and a side of the corn elote. In total the cost was 51.00.
The brisket had a decent bark and good fat render, but it was so overcooked that it overpowered what good it had going for it. If I had to guess, their temps on the pit average 300+ because the end of the moist brisket was crispy.
The ribs had good flavor, but again, they were overcooked and dry.
The sausage had good flavor, but they need to upgrade their binder as it’s crumbly and (you guessed it) dry.
The corn elote is NINE dollars and was very average.
If you’re going to charge Central Texas BBQ prices (34/lb) for your brisket, then you need to at least be in the ballpark in quality like a Leroy and Lewis, Interstellar, and Burnt Bean. This spot just simply isn’t there.
If they pulled their meats off the smoker an hour to two earlier(or cut the temps down) then they might have a good product.

This is an amazing place to get a really good BBQ! I had the Mac n cheese on the side which was THE best I’ve ever had. I also got the pulled pork sandwich with fries and the whole thing was phenomenal! Everything was so fresh, Highly recommend!! Will be coming back for sure!

We have lived around KC BBQ and Texas BBQ for years. This hidden gem does it right if not better! The brisket was amazing and the pork belly burnt ends were a very close second. These people know BBQ!!

Very good brisket… smoked just right and tender.
They have counter service, a kiosk with ticket/numbers and a to-go counter… very confusing. even the servers were confused on whose order belonged to. The dining room is open and loud.
We only order brisket to-go. The sides and huge desserts looked good. May try them next time, but definitely to-go.

New BBQ joint that just opened in BR. This is some serious BBQ and not your average run of the mill. I mainly review on Yelp, but decided to leave a review here. I visited here on April 25th.
Service:
It’s day 2 of this place being open and they were very busy and crushing it!! Be patient with them and give yourself time becauset it isn’t hyper fast pace but it’s not slow. It’s a new spot and staff will find its rhythm and will get better over time. Tthe staff is doing a great job turning food over in the kitchen. Very friendly staff, the energy and vibe of this place is great. Owner is very present and serving food to the tables. They are limited on the days open and hours are 11am-5pm I believe Thurs, Fri, & Sat to get started.
Food:
Not sure where to start….flavor profiles are amazing! This is not your standard backyard smoked brisket, pulled pork and ribs, this place is set apart! I added pics, but it was after we started picking off of the trays of food. I went with my wife and one of my sons. We ordered the 2 of the 2 meat w/2 sides combo and we got brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork, & pork belly burnt ends. I lived in Texas for a decade and love the bbq there and Texas brisket is top notch. SPO brisket is ridiculous and amazing, right amount of smokiness with a perfect rub to give it great flavor. The pulled pork was excellent too. If you want to be daring, get the pork belly burnt ends…life changing!! The pork belly burnt ends is like a fireworks of flavor! I didn’t try the pork ribs, but my son sure did enjoy them. He said the meat had good flavor and they were fall off the bone tender. The four sides we had was the slaw, beans, street corn & mac n cheese. Beans are savory and not sweet great flavors for a side. Nice change of your standard sweet baked beans. The street corn was excellent and probably my favorite, mac n cheese was great too and the slaw was good, needed a little more salt, but tasted good and had a nice crunch to it. We also got the tallow fries which were good but not a fan of the shoe string type french fries. Both BBQ sauces were good, but only item I used most of the sauce was for the pulled pork. The spicy pickle ketchup is a nice twist to dip the fries in. I can’t say enough about this place and the flavors of all the meats I tried were excellent!!! The portions are perfect, your not going to be overserved but you will be satisfied with the portions with amazing flavor profiles! In conclusion of the food, I think BBQ is my love language and this spot is my new go to for BBQ.
Atmosphere:
Really cool vibe inside and they put some nice work into the aesthetics with a lot of wood. Great energy from the entire staff, you can tell they enjoy working there even with how crazy busy it was on day 2.

Let me start by saying this — the ribs and chopped brisket? Straight-up fire! So tender, so juicy, seasoned just right. I was ready to give a full 5 stars just off the strength of that meat alone!
But let’s talk about the full experience… because baby, it had some bumps.
First off, no one greeted me when I walked in. I stood there like a confused cousin at the wrong cookout. Ended up ordering from the kiosk because, well, nobody said a word. Cool — not the end of the world, but a simple “Hey! Welcome in!” would’ve set a better vibe.
Now let’s talk sides. The mac and cheese — listen, if you’re gonna call it that, make sure it comes with elbow noodles, not these random shell/scallop pasta imposters. And sadly… it was bland. Looked funny, tasted like air. Corn? Whew. I love a dressed-up corn, but whatever wet mixture was added made it confusing — like the corn couldn’t decide if it was a salad or a soup.
And the meat? Again, top-tier. BUT — why are y’all throwing it in the box like I’m feeding it to my dog?! That grease was sliding everywhere. A little parchment paper, a tray, something would’ve shown more care. The meat deserves better, and so do the customers.
Now to end on a high note — the place looks amazing, inside and out. Clean, fresh, and good vibes once you’re seated.
Final word: I’ll be back for that brisket and ribs, but please tighten up the sides and the packaging for the meat entrees. We’re not animals, we’re hungry humans with taste.
