    All the fat picked off the brisket and the not so good sausage.
    Ivan J.

    The luck we've had in Seguin when it comes to food is amazing. This place has its faults , but the four was because overall it was good! We had the famous brisket on brisket burger, and the trio plate. First the burger...wow! One of the best I've had in a while! Amazing flavor! It was perfect...EXCEPT...the actual brisket. It's a theme here that brisket honestly seems like they make zero attempts to trim it. It's not dry, and it is flavorful. We had a COMICAL side of macaroni. It was the absolutely smallest side I think I've ever had and I grew up with churches chicken calling a McDonald's small fries a family order. For three plus dollars too! To the plate, the brisket same thing...half fat and half meat. Still delicious, but had to pick off a lot of the fat which seems like sacrilege. The turkey was great! The fries were adequate. The onion rings are pretty good! The sausage on the other hand...just no. Had the texture of cornmeal. Didn't finish it. It looked pretty too what a-shame! The bbq sauce was AMAZING! Especially the spicier one! The menu has some crazy items! We want to come back with the whole crew to try all the items. Like lamb barbacoa and lamb ribs! We also had tres leches and banana pudding to go. The tres leches was just ok, and skip the banana pudding...trust me.

    This was a great find! I got the fried catfish plate and which was hot and delicious. The mac&cheese is the best I have had since moving to the area 6 years ago, and the cream corn was delicious. I love the vibe of the place. It has an old backyard BBQ feel with a family atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and the service was fast. I will add this place as a favorite.

    Ordered trio plate of chicken, turkey breast and pork ribs with a side of creamed corn and mac & cheese. And a catfish plate with cole slaw and green beans.

    My assorted meats order. So so good.

    I stopped in and got a variety of meats to go. I believe I may have met and spoken to the owner himself. Great guy! GREAT food. They've been around as long as me! If you're ever in Seguin, please stop in. They have burgers, catfish, shrimp, and a variety of family recipe sides - possibly the best potato salad I've ever had! Plus yummy looking desserts.

    Mom saw Davila's on TV and wanted try it. She loved it but me and hubby felt it was ok compared to other bbq places in the San Marcos & surrounding areas. We had the ribs, Turkey leg, and brisket Grill cheese sandwich.

    Must try! Papa Davila - smoked potato, with brisket, cheese and sour cream! It's enough for 2 meals! As we were eating, a lady says this peach cobbler is amazing! Y'all check out Davilas BBQ!

    1 meat plate - (smoked Turkey, macaroni and cheese, and fries)
    Amanda S.

    YUM!! I like everything I have tried here so far! My lunch today was the 1 meat plate with 2 sides. It is a great value, very big portion that I split up to enjoy for my 2nd lunch later in the day The turkey is smoked perfectly and very juicy and flavorful. I think their macaroni and cheese might be my favorite anywhere. I could eat a whole plate of just that!! The food is served quickly and I love how friendly everyone is. The owner makes it a point to check in on his customers and greet everyone as you come in! I like that they have a drive thru too for when I'm in a rush. 10/10!

    Nice folks. The smoked chicken was good. The brisket on a cold bun killed my experience. This place has potential but the dry brisket with large chunks of fat needs attention.

All the spots in houston and Schulze's bbq is up there with any of them if not the best! I'm starting to wonder if Texas monthly is even a legit thing. Because this place could easily be number one. I'm surprised I've never heard of them because this is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Some of the best customer service too! I'm so glad I stopped in. This will be my go to every single time when I'm in Seguin, Texas. Food: everything was phenomenal! The brisket was made to perfection absolutely some of the best brisket I've ever had. The jalapeño sausage, I've never had a jalapeño sausage that good! The cheese was bursting out of the seam! The tater salad oh my God! Talk about a blast from the past if you're from Houston Texas, and remember the old Heights camp house BBQ, you will remember they had Camp house potatoes. They tasted exactly the same wow I was so happy to try that because I never thought I'd have a dish like that again in my life. The brisket rice was OK. I probably would get something else. The banana pudding was phenomenal. This is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Easy five star review! The customer service was great. The line moved quickly and everyone was extremely nice. I will go out of my way to come here and get barbecue every single time when I'm at Seguin, Texas. This should be on Texas monthly, this should be on everyone's radar if you love barbecue!

I saw some white lady that just looked angry behind the counter I'm assuming is the owner. Now, I did have VERY high expectations for this place because I have been a long time follower of 90 West barbecue since they first began. I know Jesus and Robin moved to this location. With that said I had high hopes the food would have came along with them, which by visual plating, and taste it absolutely did not. I honestly felt them two would have easily been brought this place on the top 50 bbq list and that got me so excited to make the drive out to try it. I did ask for Jesus but they said he was off when we went by. That surprised me they always work! Haha I don't know if he will see this review since he is a manager but Jesus your very talented man with a heart of craft bbq we know your worth, your bbq was killer. I pray someone will give you a partnership to begin your own restaurant location you will do just fine back in San Antonio and we will be right there with you and Robin.

The brisket was mediocre at best -- slightly under seasoned and the smoke flavor tasted a little off to me. The pork ribs were lacking flavor, and the bacon ranch potatoes were pretty much flavorless and definitely needed salt. The street corn pudding was okay, but it also felt bland somehow -- not really sweet or savory, just kind of there. I also tried the beef ribs, and they were just okay. They weren't nearly as tender as I expected, especially considering the reputation this place has. The highlights for me were definitely the beef cheek pastrami and the sticky ribs. The beef cheeks were melt-in-your-mouth tender and perfectly seasoned, and the sticky ribs had great flavor. For the amount of hype, long wait times, and "best in Texas" reputation, I left pretty disappointed. I honestly don't understand why this place is considered number one in the state.

Parking is little limited but on the side of the establishment is an auxiliary parking. As you walk inside you see the old power station.

If the tip wasn't already included in the gratuity , he wouldn't have made a dime. He was rude and not attentive. I'm sure there are other places in the area to enjoy.
