We were regulars at Straight off the Road a few years back, but since we moved farther out, we…read morehaven't been here in a while. Today, Momma wanted barbecue, and the places closer to home don't offer indoor dining. Since we were dressed up for Mother's Day, we drove out of the way to come here. I expected a good time. Straight off the Road has always had good vibes, and nothing there has changed. Country music when you come in the door, good service, and authentic feeling decorations. It just feels like home in here-- Texas without all the pretentiousness of fancier places. I was surprised to see the parking lot and the restaurant only half full on Mother's Day, but looking back, I should have known then that something wasn't quite right. Everything went well until I got my plate. I ordered the two meat brisket and sausage, potato salad, and fried okra. The portion was huge-- enough for three people -- but I couldn't enjoy it. The brisket should have been the star, but it tasted like was baked too long in an oven an oven a day or two ago. There was no smoke flavor, and the meat just fell apart. I could have eaten it with a spoon. It was tender, sure, but anybody can do that if you cook it/rest it long enough. The flavor just wasn't there. I'm not sure whether they make their sausage or get it from somewhere outside, but it seemed to be quality stuff before they cooked it. It was coarse ground like I like it with good seasoning. But where was the smoke? The sausage honestly looked and tasted like it was sliced and boiled. I was shocked. The potato salad tasted good, but the texture was all wrong. Everything was chopped up small like it was done in the food processor and there was no love in it. Fried okra is hard to get wrong, but there was nothing particularly right about it either. I was so suspicious about the lack of flavor in my meat that I drove around the back parking lot when we left. There were several racks of neatly stacked firewood, but it was all filled up to the top. Either it had just been delivered, or it's not getting used. I suspect the latter. This is Texas. If you're gonna keep the doors open at a barbecue joint, you have to do better. I love coming to your restaurant, and I hope you get things figured out.

Ordered a loaded potato with brisket, generous sized potato with all the toppings, it was filling and delish!!! Ordered a 3 plate meat including brisket, sausage, and ribs. The ribs are very seasoned and delish, the sausage is a lil spicy but you get a big one and it is also delish as was the brisket which was moist. The 3 plate meat includes (2) 8oz sides, we had the dirty rice, macaroni (16oz), baked beans (8oz) and the cobbler (8oz). The macaroni lacked flavor, the dirty rice was delish, and the peach cobbler...omgeeeee was soooooo yummy. I wish I had gotten the 16oz peach cobbler, maybe even 2 of them.

The BBQ holds its own: big portions, friendly folks, and that chicken? Smoked to perfection and packed with flavor. The surprise MVP for me, though, was the Mexican rice on the side. Who knew BBQ and rice could be such a power couple? Easily one of my favorites so far--fluffy, tasty, and not just an afterthought. If you're looking for a well-plated, decently priced BBQ meal (and maybe a food coma on the side), Johnny is definitely your guy. Just don't expect him to have any apples left... I already took care of those.
