Hole in the wall. Sauce was better than some others I’ve had in the area. Not super tender but it’s really good for the price. Both the pork and brisket were really good but I’d almost say the pork was better than the brisket even.

Came here with high hopes because my friend swore this was the best barbecue he’s ever had in his life. That being said, he hasn’t been in Bryan for 10 years. The brisket was possibly the worst I’ve ever had, the ribs were almost the worst I’ve ever had. Both overcooked, tough, and cool to the touch. The fries were decent frozen curly fries, the okra was actually great and the sausage was mids. The sausage and the sides saved this place from getting 1star. The ambience was everything you want in a hole in the wall hidden gem. It was smoky from the smoker inside and the decor was as if I stepped into a Time Machine to the 60’s or 70’s. Loved the atmosphere and the staff.

Easily my favorite restaurant to date. Staff is friendly, food is 10/10 and the atmosphere is so intriguing, showing the past 100 years the place has been open. Absolute treat to go there every time and I look forward to my next visit constantly.

This was a place we stopped for brisket on the way home from the Coast. I enjoyed the old diner atmosphere. The food was pretty good. It was priced at a great value. That was very Appreciated.

It is this quaint place that has been up and running since 1925. I can totally imagine it being the hangout place for Aggies once upon a time. The photos on the wall will walk you down the history of Texas A&M. The owners were so friendly and kind enough to show me around the BBQ pits that has been operating since 1939 (I have no idea how they remain there in this Texas heat). If you are in BCS area and want to grab a bite at someplace historic, Martin’s place it is.

Perhaps one of the best kept secrets in Bryan! Martin’s Place has been in business over 100 years. It’s a bit spooky driving up because it’s not obviously a restaurant. Entering doesn’t put your mind at ease since the last time the interior was updated was in the 1970s, and you may not see anyone behind the counter. In short it’s a hole in the wall in all the best ways, and the food is fantastic!

Don’t get in a hurry if you go here to eat. Small mom and pop place with a lot of history. The service is very slow but the sides are fresh so maybe that is what takes a while. I enjoyed the setting and the food decently food overall. The ribs were really good. I’d say better than the brisket. The brisket was good but a little dry. Thankfully they had some good sauce on the brisket to make up for it. Overall the flavor was good but I’ve had better brisket in Texas. I’d recommend taking in the history but just prepare to be here a while.

It’s like tasting BBQ history. Excellent! Pit smoked beef & pork ribs, tangy classic sauce, homemade potato salad, fried okra satisfied.
