The beef rib was huge. It was well cooked, seasoned well, and without a heavy overpowering smoke taste and smell. The meat was tender and juicy. The pork rib meat was also perfectly cooked, the seasoning was one of the best mix of savory I had in a while. Instead of a special restaurant dinner for anniversary we thought we would eat a couple ribs. The adage @you get what you pay for" holds up well here. But the bill was exurban and this was before the current high price of meat & everything else. My husband said that I would not want to know what he paid which means over $100. I hope they can hang on until their supplies are more affordable. The cost will I am sure be a disadvantage. What we paid would have been or useful in filling my pantry. That being said, it was one of the most enjoyable meals we've brought home. If we could afford it we would definitely be our go-to place. We are looking forward to iur anniversary in a couple months when we won't feel guilty about paying a big price for a meal. I will go for flavor over fancy every time and Helberg fits that shoe.

Is this up there with the great bbq places in the state? No. It's not trying to be. Hint hint daynes. Its a cafeteria style, you pick your meal, you go down the line, pick you sides and sauces..and your done. We had the three meat plate, and brisket sandwich plate. The meats on the plate were brisket, jalapeño sausage, and turkey. The sides on both plates were spicy pinto beans, Mac, and green beans. We had regular and spicy bbq. All the meats were good to great. The brisket was good, but missing that bark we like. The turkey was not dry. The best thing here, is when they say spicy, they mean spicy. Like runny nose spicy. Man it was good. The spicy bbq sauce was especially great. So just be careful because the beans were bordering on too spicy. The sausage was what daynes wished it could be. I know I keep ragging on daynes, but come here first, then go there and tell me if daynes belongs on any top list! I would pick still smoking any day! The Mac was delicious. The green beans were out of this world. Why not a 5? Well let's be honest, once you tried the true best in the state, it's hard to live up to it! As great as this place is, it's not snows or franklins or burnt bean epic. We still will definitely stop by when travel again!

He recommended the two meat plate with sliced beef, sausage, baked beans, and potato salad. It was served with their regular bbq sauce and sweet & spicy. I preferred the sweet & spicy, but they were both delicious on these perfectly cooked meats. The sliced beef literally held together for dipping yet fell apart in your mouth. It was so tender and the flavor was exactly what I came searching for. I ate at one of the three picnic tables they've got outside. Someone overheard me say I was from out of town, asked how I found this local secret, and reaffirmed that it was the best in town. Well it sure was the best I've ever had! Their customer service was outstanding as well.

The place is pretty nice on the outside, as far as BBq places go. It is a little ways north of the downtown area. I went in right at noon and had to stand in line a while. I ordered 1/3 of a pound of moist brisket and 1/3 of jalapeños sausage. The cashier called someone else over cause she couldn't ring up 1/3 of a lbs. The second person told her to enter .33. When she did, it popped up .330. She asked if I'd be fine paying for .330 instead of 1/3 of a lb. Brisket was good, but I didn't get the requested moist end. The sausage was good, but not great. Someone came around and offered a free side of "gravy". I declined, but later regretted it. I really should have learned what bbq gravy tastes like.
