We were driving from Progreso, Texas to Weslaco, Texas and we saw a sign that said: "The Best BBQ restaurant in town, half a mile west". We were hungry and we decided to give this place a try. We arrived at the location that has a large paved parking lot, and we see a grey building built like an old west saloon. Nicely decorated inside and out. We ordered some brisket Panchos to share (large plate of Nachos, topped with cheese, tomato, onions, jalapeños and a very large portion of chopped smoked beef brisket). The chips were not crunchy as we expected, slightly stale for my taste. The star of the plate was the chopped beef brisket, and it had plenty of meat, that was juicy and nicely smoked, it did not disappoint anyone. To better this plate, I would suggest checking your chips are fresh, add more fluid cheese instead of straight cheddar. The next plate was a mushroom and Swiss hamburger, it was a large juicy hamburger, was nicely cooked and delicious. The next plate was a one meat plate: Baby Back Ribs, with a side of potato salad and a side of beans. Comes with two slices of wheat bread and a portion of sliced onions and sliced pickles. The ribs were beautifully smoked and flavorful. The potato salad was fresh and on point. The beans were nicely seasoned (but they had more liquid than beans). The last plate was a two meat plate: Smoked Beef Brisket and sliced sausage, with a side of potato salad and a side of creamy coleslaw. The sliced beef brisket was a flavorful as the one topping the panchos. It had a generous amount of meat, that was smoked to perfection. The potato salad was beautiful. The coleslaw I saved for last, it didn't look like your common coleslaw, it was slight purple in color and smooth (no thick cut cabbage), the cabbage was finely sliced and it looked totally different than any other coleslaw I ever had. When I first put the coleslaw in my mouth, ///////// I COULD NOT STOP EATING IT!!!!!! I realized that the color was from purple cabbage added, but the best part of it, was that it was packed with chunks of fresh apple (I could have eaten a whole bowl of it). If I could improve on this plate, your meats are top notch, but your sausage quality was not there, a good sausage needs to have texture, your sausage was almost like a hotdog texture, and it lacked smokiness and flavor. One more suggestion, add sweet and unsweet brewed tea, we were disappointed you didn't offer it. Now, is this the Best BBQ in town???? You be the judge. read more

This place has been closed for months! Junk cars stored in the parking lot. Wasn't that good when they were open anyway.

Very good new place. Ribs and brisket very good. Wife had chicken. Very geed. Sauce, hot excellent. Didn't try the sweet sauce. Hot is not very hot FYI. Cole slaw excellent too. read more

Stopped for lunch with family. Very nice restaurant. Nicely decorated and clean. Everyone had ribs and enjoyed them. BBQ sauce was excellent. Sides were hit or miss for our Wisconsin tastebuds. The corn was a homemade cream corn (delicious). I would also highly recommend the coleslaw. Did not care for the potato salad (too mustardy for me). If I am in the area I will definitely be back. Good customer service. read more

There couples ate here on Friday at 5:00 pm, March2. No one there but us. We will not be back and we hate it. This restaurant is close and we had hoped it would be good. Small helpings and food as if from HEB or similar. It is ok to buy potato salad but add some celery, onion and egg. No smell of smoked meats. When eating at successful barbeque restaurants you get big slabs of brisket, not small slices. You get enough food to take home! $8.95 is too much for a sandwich! Paying for water? You need to advertise and then follow thru with better food and more of it. Wish you could find Fat Daddy and find out how they made their potato salad and how they ran their restaurant! You would have a line waiting to come in. You have a nice idea, you just do not need to be skimpy and have that smoker we saw outside working bug time. Check out Longhorn South of Harlingen. Good luck and may God help you do good. read more
