Excellent—we weren’t expecting much since Madrid doesn’t have a ton of great options but a friend of our recommend we give it a try. We’re glad that we did. The pulled pork was outstanding! The kids grilled cheese was a bit too. I loved the poppers and am looking forward to trying the other flavors soon!

Living in Madrid, options are few and far between. The meat here is on point, but if you get a “Family Pack”, expect your biscuits to be cold. Like, just pulled out of the fridge cold. It isnt a fluke, its how they serve them. God forbid you are taking this stuff anywhere but home to eat (where you can heat the biscuits).
Knowing that they do not like to give you enough BBQ sauce, I always ask for a lot. I got a couple extra containers this last time, but most were only filled 1/4 of the way. Seriously, I got about 6 tablespoons of sauce for 2lbs of smoked meat.
Yesterday I went in and the lady in front of me ordered 2lbs of pulled pork, and was told that they didnt even have a pound. Instead of making things right and giving the lady whatever they had left, and 2lbs of a different meat, they wouldnt budge on the 2lb order. Lame.
I dont know if they are still serving breakfast, but when we went there the only option for eggs was scrambled (made to order…) and everything was mediocre. I asked for fried eggs and was met with the response “Have you ever tried to make fried eggs on a commercial stovetop?” We went twice and decided a 3rd time isn’t worth our time or money.
The mac and cheese is pretty flavorless and the noodles are so soft (because its prepared like school food, 1 giant batch made once a day) that you cannot tell the difference in texture between them and the watered down cheese. I kinda like the pasta salad, but it could use a couple tweaks.
The poppers are pretty good, the meat is pretty good, but nothing here is really special. At this point I have had everything on the menu (like I said, not many choices for food in Madrid) and think this place is just good enough to stay in business serving everyone on the Trestle trail.
Trust this review. Im a fat guy.

Visited for the first time for breakfast Sunday morning 7/20/2014.
Arrived at 5 minutes to the 10am opening time to try the breakfast. Tried the front door and it was open. Immediately upon opening the door, we were “greeted” by an OBNOXIOUS guy who yelled “WE’RE NOT OPEN YET” in an extremely rude tone. At that moment, he LOST MY BUSINESS FOR GOOD.
If you’re not open yet, keep the door locked until you are. Or, since it was literally less than 5 minutes before your posted opening time, you could opt to invite patrons in and tell them you’re not quite ready yet and it will be a few minutes.
Don’t know if we walked in on a fight amongst the owners/workers or what, but this was COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR. I don’t normally post reviews but this guy really irritated me with his attitude. Could be the best place in town (oh sorry, the ONLY place in town other than Casey’s?) but I certainly won’t give it a second chance.

Great BBQ only blocks from the High Trestle Trail. Pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches were very good. The cost per person includes an appetizer and a beer.

Walked in and there was nobody in there. A guy comes out and tells me he is working on an order…which whatever…but then tells me it’ll be 30 minutes before he can take my order…no other staff in there…not a really well run establishment.
