“ BBQ Frito pie everyday. Catfish on Fridays! ”
“ Absolutely the best dried sausage sticks in Texas and therefore the U.S.A. Grab some if you are on the way to the beach or a fishing trip. Best protein on a boat! If you are smoking beers then I recommend the jalepeno sausage. ”
“ It's been awhile but didn't disappoint. BBQ was tender and hot. ”
“ 2 stars? what are you trying to hide the place? everything is smoked the sausage links are the best in the state (trust me been all over) and well.. the portions seemed just fine to me.. except the potato salad i can't ever get enough of that stuff ”
“ I drove through so I didn't experience the atmosphere. The chopped beef sandwich was great with bite sized pieces of brisket instead of overly minced brisket as some other BBQ joints serve. I didn't like the Diet Coke fountain drink though. The taste seemed off. I'll be back! ”
