Nice place. Good food. The service is great and people are very friendly. I would definitely go back.

First off the little place is clean great atmosphere our server Braxton was very attentive, real humble, and great at recommending food items. portions are perfect, It was good in all categories don't get me started on dessert. do not leave this place without getting yourself the peach cobbler or the banana pudding, It's on another Level. read more

We stopped at the north location which is not far off the interstate. It's a big place with plenty of seating. The server was friendly. We started with chips and queso. The queso is good. We both ordered 2 meat plates. Overall it was ok. The brisket was a little tough. The macaroni salad is very garlicky and needed something creamy added. The cornbread was dry. The potato salad is very whipped with no chunks and not much flavor. Be aware that the pinto beans are spicy full of black pepper. Some people may like that. Also the sauce is a little spicy but tasted pretty good. Fried okra was good. The banana pudding was ok at a fair price. The peach cobbler also was ok and fair priced. We both drank water. So two plates, two small desserts, and an appetizer plus the tip was about $70. We've paid more for less food. It was a good enough place to stop for bbq on a road trip. But nothing really stood out as the best we ever had. read more

Another great experience and meal at Betty Rose's Little Brisket. The brisket was perfectly seasoned and juicy. All our other menu items were also on point. Our server was attentive and kept the sweet tea cups filled. Dining room was spotless and inviting. This place is great for groups and has ample parking. They even cater for events! read more

Was on this side of town to renew my drivers license and stopped in here to grab a quick pulled pork sammich, only found it because I was originally going to the Heffs Burgers next door which is undergoing some sort of change. Betty Rose's is good stuff, first time at this location, I would say they are consistent with their food, it's as good as the one on the south side. Very clean, pulled pork with coleslaw and onion rings hit the spot. And my Wawa's very nice and very quick and attentive. Thumbs up! read more

I really enjoy their food. First time ordering delivery. Was disappointed that they did not put any sauce , drink condiments and utensils in the bag. I diid ask for lemon and sweet n low. Thought it was a given they would put sauce, straw and utensils in the bag. Will be back! Southside on catcall location. read more

Great place, Great service, Great price. Ribs were fabulous. The Jalapeño corn side is great

Betty Rose's Little Brisket - 2 Meat Combo - Barbeque Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Visiting with family we thought BBQ would be a good choice to share a meal. I always taste meat first without sauce. Both brisket and pork ribs were dry and no smokey flavor. It was a Tuesday at noon and only customers at three tables. Service was good but food was forgettable. read more

Cute restaurant with nice staff. The food however was mediocre at best. We had brisket sandwiches (2 sliced and 1 chopped). Good portions of meat on all. However the brisket was VERY dry. We kind of wondered if it was brisket or smoked beef roast. We had to add lots for sauce just not to choke on the dry cuts. I hope they figure out how to properly smoke a brisket and keep the moisture soon. read more

Ordered a 3 meat combo..pork, ham, and brisket. Pork was good.. ham was ok, and brisket was a little dry. Overall, everything was ok but nothing that really stood out. Disappointed for a Texas bbq joint. read more

We ate here Sunday, June 9. The waitstaff was inattentive at best. We were ignored and our orders were not correct. The water or ice tasted like it had chemicals in it. The food was tasteless and the quantity small especially for what they are charging. The air conditioning was either broken or not on as it was cooler outside than in. This is sad to see as we have enjoyed eating here in the past. read more

My wife pick me up a barbeque sandwich. First mistake. Even though it had two small containers of barbeque sauce. All it did was run all over the place. The meat was so dry, I actually choked on it while trying to swallowing it. She payed $ 11 dollars for it and that too much just for a barbeque sandwich. The bun wall all greesy and matched. They really suck !!! The old Betty roses on South 7th was wonderful. They cared enough to ask if you wanted some barbeque sauce poured over the meat before chopping it up. This place doesn't care about the customers. They just want your money and for you to go away. They think their barbeque is the best in town Lol. It's not. Bye bye Betty. Won't be back !!! read more

Service was great guy treated us great food was really good definitely stoping here again the guy even gave us 2 free peach cobblers overall really amazing service and great food read more

I am from out of town and every time I come to Abilene this is a stop for sure. I have not had anything bad from this restaurant from chicken to beef. I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

My coworkers suggested this spot! Man I'm glad they did! I have been wanting some true Texan barbecue! This was it meat wise. First, The hickory smoked aroma hit you at the door! It was not too crowded as I finally decided what I wanted at the end of the night. It was a bit of a wait, but all I have been hearing about this spot I was willing to wait! Worth it!!. Bless the server. She was a solo waitress for the entire restaurant. Not sure what prompt it, but Crystal worked that entire building with a smile on her face!!! So kudos to her! The cooks apologized for the wait time. But I watched sports while waiting so I didn't think of it too much. I over indulged in the 3 meat combo. I had Ribs, smoked Chicken, and Brisket with Slaw and jalapeño cream corn. The meat was to die for! It was cooked to perfection. The brisket had just the right amount of char. The Rib meat was falling off the bone. The sides... eh not so much. The slaw tasted a bit dated. It was sweet and mayo based so I was totally okay with that, but the actual texture and taste was probably not the freshest. The corn was pretty tasty. It was no smoke with jalapeño peppers. The jalapeño cornbread was hard as a brick, I'm not sure if that the norm. Had to submerge it in some sides sauce to soften up! (Old school trick lol)! I had peach cobbler for here/to go. Heavy crust just like I requested and like it! But not the type of crust flavor I like. The vanilla ice cream saved the day with it. All in all Great customer service (thanks again Crystal!) and overall good food! read more

Good ribs and they had no problem with my request for well-done okra. I like it crispy! Good tea. There was a crowd there on my first visit but the staff wasn't overwhelmed. read more

I've eaten here a few times, and every time it's incredibly okay. The sides are really good. The meats are okay. The brisket is mostly flavorless and the barbecue sauce is terrible. The service was great. It falls under the "if someone wants to go eat there, I'll go, but I'm never gonna go on my own" category. read more

Good food!! And relaxing!! I ate the pulled pork, good stuff!! And I was with the family, and was served with a nice new customer!! She did good!! read more

I was staying at one of the hotels next door and it was during a crazy thunderstorm. I needed some food and went to the closest place. Being in Texas I figured I couldn't go wrong with BBQ but sadly this seems like one of the weakest places to get it. The service was good but the food was below average. It wasn't nasty or anything but it wasn't good. I had a two meat combo with brisket and pulled pork. I got fries and jalapeno cream corn for my sides. Both meats were blah, the fries not good and the corn was probably the best thing of the meal. The cornbread that came with my plate was stale. read more

Food was amazing! Quantity of food could use some improvement . The service was kind and friendly but when you ask about if an order has a good quantity of meat and get two slivers... they might need to get their glasses checked.. read more

I had extremely high hopes, I always have brisket when I travel to Texas. I have found they do it best. Not the case with Betty Roses Little Brisket. The server was extremely apologetic but it's not her fault. The brisket was so dry it just crumbled. Not sure how old it was before they reheated it, but I can assure you it was not fresh. The sausage was passable, beans were bland, and the corn was great. I look forward to my next trip to Texas to get this taste out of my mouth. read more

Only giving it one star because the attendant at the drive thru was very friendly and helpful. The food however was TERRIBLE . I had the 4 piece chicken strip for lunch, and I substituted the fries for potato salad. I was hoping to get either the 2 or 3 meat combo, $15.99 and $16.99 respectively (pricey in my opinion) so I settled for the almost $10 chicken strip. The chicken strips were salty, dry, hard and slightly burnt. The potato salad wasn't good either. The cornbread was dry as a bone. I should have taken my money to Raising Cane's- I'd have definitely gotten my money's worth. I doubt I'll get a meal here again. read more

Stopped here on my way home to Greenville after 22 days at work. Had the stuffed baked potato and a Shiner Beer. The food was hot and it was good. It is down past Wal-Mart and behind Wing Stop. It is worth the effort to stop in. The team is friendly and willing to suggest items. The facility is great. Second visit here was as good or better than the first. Give them a try you will like this place. Came here with my wife from the Quinlan area. The team treated her very well. Food was great and we stayed an hour to get off the road for a bit. Friendly bunch of folks here. Make the effort and give them a try. read more

We visited Betty Rose's for our first time. The food in my opinion wasn't the greatest. The potato salad was whipped instead of chunky like a real salad is. Didn't taste good to me. The meat was really dry , all in all was a terrible experience of BBQ. A real disgrace because it cost more than any other place we went to and had delicious meals. read more

This place is terrible.I had just got back to Texas after being up north working and was craving bbq. For 21$ I got the 3 meat plate which will now be referred to as the let's go Brandon plate.I had got bbq in Iowa which they are not famous for and it was bad this place is comparable.I think the smoker outside is a prop to get you in they have to be cooking this dried out dumpster fire in an oven.I can't wait to get back home to south Texas where bbq is still bbq.Let's Go Betty Roses BBQ! read more

service was good place was nice would be a very nice place however the bbq was absolutely horrible ribs seemed like they were 2 days old and re heated every day and brisket was mediocre few sides were ok this place won't make it long read more

Absolutely the most dried out brisket in West Texas. The ice tea container hadn't been cleaned. Mold in the tea. Have they changed ownership? It wasn't like this a few years ago. read more

Oh my snap, I don't know what's happened but this little place has gone down hill in the last four years since I last stalked it in college. The meat was horribly fatty and all the sides tasted bland. Was very disappointed. :( Plus, the place looked a little run down, too. Very sad guys...very sad. read more

We always buy potato salad from Betty Rose, it's delicious and already made fresh. My review today is to point out excellent service at the location. We use the drive thru cause it's so convenient with the call in ordering. They are friendly and quick! read more

We used to love the catfish on Friday nights at Betty Roses. The last few times we ordered it, it was so tough we could not and did not eat it. We will find a new catfish place! read more

This restaurant was a disappointment. Owners who do business without regard for for the health of their customers and the public should be reported to the Department of Health. Employees/Management working behind the counter preparing food for their customers were NOT wearing masks! The majority of their customers were! Hellooooo! The owners/employees must not value their clientele much... The worst part was the brisket was tough and lacking flavor. If a BBQ restaurant can't get brisket right, they are in the wrong business - and we chose the wrong restaurant. read more

Needed something to fill my empty tummy. A native to Abilene recommended coming here. I got the 3 meat platter. It wasn't bad for the price. The pulled pork was good and saucy with some slight heat. The brisket was ok. The jalapeño cheddar sausage had more of a kick than the ones I have had in Missouri. Not that I minded! I tried the jalapeño creamed corn. Very interesting and quite tasty with a hint of heat. read more

So, we had a catered meal from BR's and I was impressed. Dry brisket is so easy to make, but that was not the case. Brisket was very moist and the sausage was plenty juicy. I've always liked their sauce. Potato salad and beans were very good. A good experience in a town that has a lot of mediocre BBQ. The only problem? None of their great banana pudding! I'll speak to my boss about that next time. If your out around 351, give them a shot. read more

Best Lil brisket in west Texas. I use to eat here all the time back in my college days. it was, oh so mouth watering from the times I remember. I would take my family and friends that visited me here all the time. The food melted in your mouth. The food was so good you could not get down your throat quick enough. I usually went with a beef or chicken sandwich. with green beans and cole slaw. They had great desserts as well so I made sure to save room. Enjoy this great Texas taste when visiting Abilene. read more
