Firstly, the location is a bit off the beaten path and if you’re not used to country life this may not be the place for you. After arriving the parking lot had several empty spaces but plenty of parked cars too. After exiting my nose was delightfully greeted by sweet Barbecue smoke. The restaurant has been open for 50 years and it seems like they have stayed true to the old school recipes. I got the 3 meat plate with Ribs, Sausage, and Brisket. The ribs were tender and flavorful, the Sausage had a great snap and was packed with flavor. The brisket was not quite as tender as I prefer but good when combined with the bbq sauce. The coleslaw seemed underwhelming at first but when I stirred it up it was excellent. The ranch style beans were deeply smoky and packed with meaty flavor. The toast was great- buttery, crisp on the outside but soft in the middle. The restaurant itself had plenty of seating and was on the quiter side. The staff was beyond warm and welcoming, could not reccomended them enough. The price was great, truly an amazing value. I highly recommend this bbq joint to anyone near Fort Worth (Everman) TX. Truly as advertised – a country bbq family owned and operated.

10/10 would recommend!! 11:30-1145;Thursday, take out-Double meat plate. Had Moist brisket plate with potatoe salad and corn. Came with BBQ sauce, a slice of texas toast; toasted, onions and pickles. The moist brisket was absolutely the best part and the bbq sauce complimented the meat. It was flavorful without losing the taste of the brisket. The price was decent. Over all best bbq I have had in a while. Fast and great service

I love old establishments. This place has been around for 50-years. The staff was friendly and helpful. Their margaritas and cold beers are perfect for the hot summer days. The food was INCREDIBLE. We had a little bit of everything. Our favorite were the ribs. All the sides, desserts, and bbq sauce were on point. It felt like I was eating at grandmas house. Everything was delicious. I’d definitely come back.
Restrooms were clean, decor was very Texan, and there is plenty of dining space.

This is a place you have to try. Has the best bbq around where we stayed. A great amount of food for your money. Nice family owned place that has been around for over 49 years. Almost their 50th anniversary. Stop by, you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been a few times and have only ever been impressed by the turkey sandwich. Definitely delicious.
Tried the brisket sandwich (once chopped and also the sliced version) wasn’t really wowed by either.
Would love to see them add French fries to the menu.

Good solid barbecue nothing special about the place or how they serve the food but a good choice, and they’re wearing too much weight unlike some other barbecue places around

Amazing! Traveling from Georgia to Arizona and my husband wanted true Texas BBQ. I picked this place picked on reviews, and they weren’t wrong. We had chopped brisket and black pepper sausage. Also, the ranch style beans were on point! If you’re looking for authentic Texan bbq, this is the place!

If you like good Texas barbecue, this is the kind of place you wish was right around the corner. Not only is the food some of the best barbecue in the state, the joint is a perfect neighborhood hangout. If you like beer, they have some of the coldest around. The owner will come chat with you and tell you about the history of the restaurant and his dad who started it.
Seriously, one of the coolest little joints I’ve been to in a very long time. Plus, I got to try it out with my daughter!

First experience having Texas BBQ and it did not not disappoint. Customer service was excellent and they took the time to help explain the menu. The brisket here is the star of the menu. It was moist, tender and brittle when touched by my fork. I’ve had brisket like this but this was by far the most most I’ve had. The sauce was also extremely great… Flavorful but not too thick.
