    Rack of ribs...wow mouthwatering!!
    Kristine F.

    Hands down THE BEST BBQ in these parts of Texas!! We were passing through on our way home to Austin when we found this adorable place on Yelp. You are immediately welcomed with the fragrance of yummy BBQ and a friendly smile at the ordering window. My mouth watered anticiapting seeking my teeth in the highly recommended ribs! And once our order arrived I was in heaven with the flavors of the sweet and tantalizing taste of amazing BBQ sauce and the tender meaty ribs literally melted in my mouth. We got the opportunity to meet the owner, Gaylan and he told us they started out as a hobby 19 years ago and his business just grew from there. And not to toot his own horn, but bragged a out his wife's homemade Key Lime pie. And I have to say, Key Lime pie is our most favorite dessert...so we know the best and THIS place has it!! Of course, Boo devoured the pie but not before I could snag a bite or two...and it was heaven. Great way to end our meal with a nice light with a hint of lime citrus key lime pie. So if you're passing through Sweetwater, TX bookmark this place and stop in for a bite!! You'll thank me later!! Happy BBQing!!

    We drove through Sweetwater and stopped at Big Boy's for lunch. They are truly dog-friendly, our big boy golden enjoyed covered patio. The nicest people and great barbecue. You must try their sausage and potato salad. Definitely will be back and highly recommend!

    Texas Monthly and Trip Advisor can't both be wrong - and they're not. Limited phone service = short review. You will love this place if you like TX BBQ. O/w, ymmv. Phone service! Great BBQ ribs, chicken falling off the bone, and - PERFECT BBQ sauce. Of course, the meat is so good that the sauce is completely unnecessary.

    The brisket is moist and well smoked. The potato salad and Cole slaw is just tangy enough and just sweet enough. The jalapeno poppers are wrapped in bacon and grilled to perfection. The buttermilk pie and the key lime pie are...legendary. Put this place on a must stop list!

    Brisket sandwich plate; loved it! Homemade bun for the win

    Thanks to the other great Yelp reviews, we stopped here on our drive between Dallas and Lubbock. (It's just a couple blocks off the interstate) This place is the real deal! Great BBQ, served with a smile. I got a sliced brisket sandwich plate with potato salad and my husband got the rib plate with beans and potato salad. The meat was flavorful and tender and we both loved the potato salad. I really think the bun on my sandwich was home baked. It was a great touch. Definitely give this place a try. *As a side note, this business is very good about sanitation and mask wearing. You can tell that they really care about their employees and customers and we appreciated that.

    everything Gaylon puts out is top notch and just as good as the time before. If you haven't tried their desserts you are missing out
