If you’re looking for fast bbq, this is your spot! The staff is super friendly and on top of everything! Pictured is moist brisket, which key word is moist, lean brisket (I personally am not a fan cause I just find lean brisket more on the drier side), half a bird that falls of the bone, link of regular sausage which is really tasty, and turkey which happens to be my favorite! It’s super moist and seasoned well! My kids enjoyed the brisket potato as well! Great atmosphere and good food!

Excellent place to eat at. Very calm and relaxed environment has TV's where you can watch football play. Customer service here is very good and they explain everything to you. Wish I could've taken more photos. Highly recommend if there is one in your area.

Wow- some of the best delicious food I have had delivered since I moved down to the valley almost 2 years ago!!! The sliced turkey was amazing and all the sides were incredible . Keep in mind that the meat and the beans have a pretty Smokey flavor so you will need to appreciate that. Order all of the condiments- delicious, and the bread and buns are very super fresh and soft. Cherry peppers are tasty as well as the other pickles and other items-all packaged in ziplock bags like totally feeling like a family packed them up for you!! Love it and will order again and again for sure!!

Consistently good BBQ. Brisket , pork ribs are my favorite. Service is friendly. Food is sold by the pound. Self service no frills kind of BBQ. Sure there are places that are better but you can't find them all over texas like you can Rudy's.
