You go there because Jordan is one of the best rib chefs for miles. His BBQ sauce is subtle and clever. His ribs are always moist, smoky, and have the gentle hint of his BBQ sauce. I don't even like ribs but his are sublime. Just get ribs. The next best meat is turkey. Very hard for most people to get right - but Jordan gets it right. every. time. If you want something different than "just meat" - then get the BBQ potato - extraordinary. Or get the BBQ frito pie. Not like most of your frito pies and when you see it you think "really?" But it will be love at first bite. So pull up your big-person pants and order the right things and stop trying to talk up the help.

When choosing my meat I let the server know that I wanted my meat lean. I asked for a slice brisket and a slice of sirloin. I also got a cup of green beans and coleslaw, and beans. The sides were very good buttttt.... The brisket was just OK, The sirloin was not good.I got the end cut where all the fat is. It was the long piece of fat that goes along the outside of the meat and that's what he chose to give me when I asked for a lean cut! I hardly got to eat any of the sirloin. Once I took the fat off of it there was not very much meat left, the meat that was left was tough and chewy and had pieces of gristle in it that you couldn't even bite through. I was very disappointed, but my dogs are very happy!

The owner came right up to the window, talked us through what they had and told us about the day's special. Just good old-fashioned hospitality.

You'd have to try real hard to put up a more un-appealing storefront and ordering station than those at Young's BBQ. Crude set-up, lackluster atmosphere with sloppy hand scribbled notes taped or thumbtacked to most of the walls, cheap paper plates, all plastic eating utensils -- just a sad way to see a restaurant being run. A smart investor would build a clean, pleasant, well-run barbecue restaurant in Lampasas... right next door. I had the pork ribs, cold and disappointing. The pinto beans were tasty but room temperature. "Would you like something to drink? Get it yourself!" And half of the drink selections were out of order with handwritten notes stuck to the dispensers. Our order was 2 pork ribs for me and tea to drink; a chopped sandwich and tea for my lunchtime companion... nearly $35 Never, ever again. By the way, the kitchen lady came out wearing a gray tee-shirt with a word across the front -- It said, "BULLS***!" I had to wholeheartedly agree. But that's about all they got right.

Fabulous barbecue! Drove to Llano on SH 29. It's on the right before you get in town…read more Inconspicuous signage says it's only open Saturday and Sunday. Opens at 11. You get to Tumlinson's before you reach the much more popular and more crowded Cooper's in town. Arrived around 1:30 on Saturday and there was only one car in the parking lot. No one else in the restaurant but no matter, the food is incredible! I don't believe there is something as the "best" barbecue. I think that there is a sort of supreme level that has a great smoke ring, a great bark, quality meat and basically melts in your mouth. So tender you can break it up with a fork but I might use a knife so I can create smaller pieces. THIS PLACE IS ALL OF THAT with perfect rendering and a master class in what a brisket should be. 5 out of 5. As good as any I have ever had and what I expect as the top of what barbecue brisket can be. The ribs were cooked perfectly with bountiful meat on the bone. The rub was not noteworthy but they were tasty and led me to use the sauce. The sauce is excellent - thick and vinegarry with a hint of sweetness. Only ordered one side - the potato salad. Much better than most. Not what I would put in the best category but totally worth eating. The pickles and onions? Wow! I wouldn't bother mentioning unless they were amazing. (Or terrible.) These were amazing! What I loved was that they cut up the onions in chunks rather than slices. The pickles were chunks of whole dills and not canned sliced pickles. Finally, I'll get to the ambiance. It's spacious with lots of seating inside. Good a/c. Two small windows that look out across the beautiful Hill Country for miles. Since the wildflowers were in epic form on the drive, the view was amazing this day. But it would be excellent without them. I should have taken a picture but I was too busy eating. We left Tumlinson's SmokyTop and went to Cooper's and as a comparison, I give the edge to Tumlinson's. The briskets were both in the same top echelon of what I expect a smoked brisket to be, but I think Tumlinson's was just slightly better. But where Tumlinson's crushes Cooper's is in the ambiance/atmosphere. Cooper's seating is indoor with no real outdoor tables. So you eat in a confined, windowless room that is not inviting. No music playing. Tumlinson's with no one else in it was memorable. I couldn't wait to get out of Cooper's. Felt a little creepy. Finally, Tumlinson's was selling brisket at $24 per pound while Cooper's was $26.99. This part is insignificant to me for the most part but there is a real price difference. Final verdict - Tumlinson's 5 out of 5. Cooper's 4.8 out of 5.

We were cruising down the road and chilling after eating three edibles. We were on our way to…read moreAustin when we saw this place and thought, "Hell, let's give it a try." The service was good, the food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was perfect. But I judge a place the same way I judge a hotel, by the bathroom. The seat was clean. The seat was dry, which you don't find very often. There was plenty of toilet paper. And the latch on the stall worked perfectly. At that point, I realized I had found a five star bathroom. So I sat there a little longer to enjoy the peace and quiet and ate another gummy. While contemplating life, I noticed some writing on the stall wall. It said. "If you want the job done right, call Martha." I thought, Well, Martha sounds confident. So I decided to give her a call. Turns out it wasn't Martha. It was Bob's Plumbing. So I gave the place four stars. They really need to occasionally verify the phone numbers written on the stall walls. Although, honestly, after that bathroom inspection, I'd trust Bob with the plumbing.
