I pay them and walk over to fix my tea where I pass by the pickle onion and sauce bar covered in gnats!! Fortunately I had ordered my food to go, so I turned a blind eye! The block of cheese was TERRIBLE--tasted like old sharp cheese that had been sitting in a bbq joint. Eww. I also was not a fan of the bbq sauce--it was super sweet like ketchup....

The workers are very kind and great!! 1/2 lb beef: The meat is not very juicy or fatty at all. I do prefer more fatty beef but this was more on the lean side. There was a decent smoky flavor to it despite it being more lean. The barbecue sauce is definitely very tangy and not my favorite. Mac and Cheese: This is a pretty standard mac and cheese. It is a little bland but it definitely neutralizes the tangy nature of the bbq sauce. It is similar to many mac and cheeses from BBQ restaurants. It isn't very cheesy though!

Solid BBQ overall, but nothing too spectacular.

They have three different sauces to try, including a mustard-based one that was interesting. (I liked being able to control my sauce mixings) There are free white and wheat bread and a good spread of fixings like pickles, onions, and jalapenos. We came in for a late afternoon lunch, (post-lunch rush) and it was super quiet. This was our first meal back in the College Station/Bryan area so it was a pretty easy, low-stress stop. Staff was efficient, and there's a patio area if the weather's nice. They also run daily specials.

It is a trailer with a smoker in the back and food prep room in the front, flying the US and Texas flags. I tried the three meat plate with brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. For the sides, they were out of potato salad so I had the beans and coleslaw. The meats are clearly cooked low and slow because they fell apart with a spoon. The only real negative with the meat was that the rub was too salty. The sides were good, but the meats were better. The bbq sauce on the side was excellent, with a peppery flavor. As long as Norm's Smokewagon is in Bryan it's going to be playing second fiddle to Fargo's, but if Norm's sets up shop in College Station then it will be the best BBQ in CS. See the facebook page for messages about when it will be where.

The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was welcoming, and there's plenty of seating, making it a great place for groups, families, or friends to gather. We'll definitely be back!

I brought the whole family and we left stuffed, happy, and already planning our next visit. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender with that perfect smoky bark, and the burnt ends were absolute heaven,crispy, and packed with flavor. The sides were just as impressive: creamy, cheesy mac n' cheese that felt like a hug in a bowl, rich twice-baked potatoes loaded with all the good stuff, hearty beans with just the right sweetness and smoke, and everything complemented the meat beautifully. Save room for dessert because they do those right too. The banana pudding was silky, nostalgic perfection, and the cobblers were warm, fruity, and topped with that flaky crust and Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream that makes you want seconds. The service was outstanding and genuinely friendly from the moment we walked in. The staff made us feel welcome and took great care of our large group. The restaurant itself is fantastic , spacious indoor and outdoor seating, plus party rooms that make it ideal for family gatherings, celebrations, rehearsal dinners etc...or just a big Sunday lunch. Cooper's nailed every part of the experience: incredible food, warm hospitality, and a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere. This is Texas BBQ at its finest. We'll be back soon! I highly recommend bringing the whole crew! Rod Gray Cypress, TX

Bottom Line: The finest BBQ experience in the College…read moreStation & Bryan TX area is found on Hwy 21 a few scant miles west (about 5 mi from downtown Bryan). Excellent & inexpensive BBQ and truly exceptional people make C&C BBQ out on Smetana Rd a "Must Do!!!" stop in the area. Your taste buds will be happier and your day will be brighter for it. You can thank me later. Top Line: As is typical on my BBQ road tripping, most eateries in the College Station & Bryan TX got a single visit to check out their vittles & their digs. It takes someplace special to draw a second visit. In the College Station & Bryan area, that place was C&C BBQ. An alternative BBQ joint got slid down the schedule to make time for the second round at C&C on Sunday, since they are currently only open on Sat & Sun. Charles's touch with his smoker is exquisite. The smoke note in the meat is not sharp, edgy, or acrid. His smoke flavor comes out round, balanced, full, velvety, and smooth. His rub has enough peppery snap to give it character, without being harsh or aggressive. Again, balanced and masterful. Ribs on the first visit were meaty, arriving trimmed quite free of fat. This gave the smoke excellent access to the meat, which took it up very nicely. Brisket sandwich on my second trip west was very, very tender and wonderfully juicy. It was a 4-napkin sandwich! That indicates just how tender & moist it was. And it was equally tasty, exhibiting like the ribs Charles's mastery of his craft. Sides are limited to four items: potato salad, whole kernel corn, green beans, pinto beans. Potato salad has a slight hit of pickle juice jumping it up a bit. Corn with diced tomatoes has a bit of bite & snap to it, setting the corn apart from its usual semi-blandness. The green beans were very tender & seemed to have butter dancing in the mix, which made them more flavorful. The pinto beans were rich in flavor due to having some shredded meat added in. Their texture was on the mark as well. Banana pudding was the weakest link in my estimation. The taste was pretty typically sweet banana pudding flavor, which is not a bad thing. The texture, while being smooth & creamy as pudding should be, struck me as being a bit too moist. The vanilla wafers cookies had gotten soggy from the pudding, so there was no crunch or solidity contrast to the creamy pudding. Cost for this Nirvana of BBQ heaven was mondo cheap (see picture), particularly given the extremely tasty food. C&C BBQ is not only some of the very best BBQ in the area, it is also amazingly high value eating due to it's miniscule prices. Also, kudos to them for having a bathroom on premises to clean up in after your (over) indulgence. But to only mention the quality & cost of the food is to tell the lesser part of the story. The greatest part about eating at C&C is the bright, shining, positive, effusive, enthusiastic, sunshiny, uplifting personalities of Charles & Carol. These two folks radiate joy & happiness at an astronomical level. To hang out with this pair while downing such good BBQ makes your visit a jewel among the days of your life. So head west from Bryan TX to the junction of Hwy 21 & Smetana Rd to get your own shot of sunshine from Charles & Carol and a chowdown of their bodacious BBQ. As I said above, you can thank me later.
