We got here at about 530 on a Saturday and there wasn’t anyone here. I got the half chicken with potato salad and coleslaw. The chicken is so moist and flavorful, love the seasoning they used. The sausage was tasty. The potato salad is more mayo based. The coleslaw is mayo based as well both are pretty good. Will totally come back when we travel this way.

We were on route to Lagrange and stopped with the family to eat. This place is managed by 2 really nice girls that helped us decide what to eat with some tries of brisket and ribs. The food was amazing. I recommend the Brisket, BBQ Ribs and the potatoes salad. The vibe is so chill and nice

Smithville BBQ was good. Brisket was moist. $25 lb. Flavors could improve. Coleslaw was okay. We will wait and see.

Just visited here for dinner and WOW! Wonderful food & exceptional service! I got the brisket plate with coleslaw & potato salad – YUM!! Husband had the loaded baked potato with brisket – also delicious. Both worth the price. I’m picky about tea & theirs is great. Loved that there were plenty of pickles & onions to grab & the sauce area was very clean. 5-star experience for sure. We will definitely be back!

We have visited this BBQ location for years, through name and ownership changes. In my opinion, the brisket was better today, than the last time we visited in 2020. The crusty bark and oak flavor were just right. The drive- through window is an excellent addition. We went back here today and it was good again. We enjoyed a quick lunch of lean sliced brisket sandwiches today. They were delicious.

Last time we were here, it was still Zimmerhanzel and of course, very good. But we were NOT disappointed with the new place. In fact, we liked it better. For one thing, it is MUCH cleaner. My brother had the ribs which were falling off the bone. I had moist brisket which was delicious. They could have a few more side dishes but the potato salad and cole slaw were tasty. And the staff was wonderful. We don’t live in Smithville but will be eating here whenever we are in town.

We called in an order and went to retrieve it. They were polite and responsive over the phone, professional and courteous when I went to collect the order, and very generous in terms of the “fixins” like bread, sauce, onions, and pickles. The food was delicious. My favorite were the smoked chicken thighs, which more BBQ restaurants should offer. My wife’s favorite was the potato salad, which was clearly homemade.

Missed Zimmerhanzel’s Cole slaw recipe as well as their Mac-Salad recipe! Husband missed the fountain drinks. But the BBQ Beef was Awesome! Like the new table setup. The outdoor tables will b great but Not n Texas summer heat. Also the drive thru is a great plus! It was clean & the staff were very pleasant & helpful!! Wish them All the Best!

It’s ok. The brisket desperately needs more seasoning. Texas is thick, crusty rub country… so more flavor would be great. The sausage is yummy. The bbq needs to be big thicker and not as watery.
I’ll eat there again but it has room for improvement!

Order was brisket, pork butt, sausage, pork rib, green beans, and potato salad. Brisket was nicely cooked, not incredible. Pork butt was great, moist and tender. Sausage was the standout. Nice casing, course ground beef and pork mixture. Rib was dry and underwhelming. Green beans were pro, and potato salad was creamy. Great stop if you’re coming through.
