    Boilerman Barbecue
    Garry H.

    I found Boilerman BBQ by accident. I was headed to Metal Mart in Merkel, Texas, and I needed a pit stop NOW! I stopped at the Iron Horse Travel Center, which was new to me. Iron Horse was extremely nice and clean. At one end is Boilerman Barbecue, a small restaurant with a decent menu. Breakfast tacos in the morning, and specials at noon and dinner. Prices were decent, so I went back for supper that night. The brisket loaded potato was such a good seller they ran out, so I tried my favorite, ribs! They have all the normal BBQ meats, about 8 different sides, and 4 or 5 different desserts. I got ribs, roasted veggies, and broccoli casserole. A pretty decent meal. The ribs get 3.5/5, roasted veggies 3.0/5, and the broccoli casserole gets 4.5/5! That was some good broccoli casserole! I was too full for dessert, and took home leftovers. I think it's worth stopping for a quick meal. Give Boilerman a try!

    Absolutely some of the best BBQ I've had in ages - and I'm a bbq snob from Kansas City!…read more We had the sampler (brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and one each of the mild and spicy sausages). I fully expected that one or two of the meats would be good and the rest just passable. I was wrong. Every single bite was spectacular. We also had the brisket and queso chips and pig candy - both were really tasty; the chips especially were very fresh and sprinkled with just a touch of bbq rub. We arrived a few minutes before they opened on a warm Saturday and the wait was about 75 minutes or so. Definitely worth standing in line for. There's ample outdoor (but covered) seating and plenty of good music playing, plus cornhole games if you're feeling competitive. Jays will be our go-to for BBQ the next time we're in Abilene! PS - if it's still available when you go, be sure to try the cherry chipotle sauce - it's amazing!

    Driving around Texas eating BBQ that made the Texas Monthly Top 50 list so we had to stop at Jay's…read moreBBQ Shack. This is a food truck so all sitting is outside. They do have restrooms so that's nice. The line gets long and they are slow in taking orders and getting the food out. We arrived around 11:15 on a Friday and the line was already long so we decided we would order to go as we need to get to Lubbock before 3:00pm. We ordered the Texas Trinity to go. This place has charm and lots of stuff to look at while waiting in the long slow line. You can go up and order beer to drink in line but my thought is that the beer is over price. Some places have free beer or free water while you wait outside in the Texas heat, not here. So the food we got made it all the way back to eat in Houston on Sunday when we got back. The true test of good BBQ is how it taste when you reheat it, all the food was good but the brisket was a bit dry 8/10, the sausage was nice 9/10 and the pork rib was good 9/10. I recommend you try Jays BBQ when in the city of Abilene, Texas
