I was passing through & used Google to find me a great steak !! Saw all the positive reviews &…read moredecided to drop in I appreciate all the old decor & ambiance as you walk in. Quiet authentic. My go to is always a Filet & don't mind spending money for a great steak. The filet seemed to be a lil higher priced than I've seen but I'm always willing to try it. The filet was cooked perfect ( medium rare) but honestly lacked any flavor. Now I know it's hard to appease everyone however I wish my effort was put into the seasoning. Speaking of flavor, the green beans were bland as can be. I mean how hard is it to cut up some bacon & season them up. I'm sure mgmt is stuck in their ways & "if it's not broken, don't fix it" but it's 2026 & there are lots of options out there. Unfortunately I won't be back simply to the flavor of the food. However I can't bring myself to bash a business, so that is how I came up to my 4 star review. Hopefully mgmt sees this & changes up their flavor / cooking style some, instead of being "average".

This was a pleasant find a little off I-10 and after eating I discovered that Texas 71 provided a…read morenice angled return to I-10 going east. It's 4 lanes, not a lot of traffic and limited access as well. Nice low stress return to I-10 after a tasty lunch. The building obviously used to be a home and the inside just further confirms it. Lots of comfortable seating throughout. Parking is all around the building and much of it is in shade from several large trees on the property. It was lunchtime busy when we arrived but we got seated quickly and the service never faltered. The pimento cheese and sausage appetizer was so good. Picky eater got 2 plain chopped brisket tacos and enjoyed them. I got the brisket plate and was surprised to find sausage on there too. The slaw and beans for sides were good choices. Both were very tasty and definitely all their own recipe. We enjoyed it enough that we shall be hoping that lunchtime timing works out again when we are eastbound on I-10 in this area.

We ran into a couple of signs on our way down the highway and The Back Porch BBQ peaked our interest so we stopped in. Parking and location was super easy to get to and navigate. This is a small town BBQ spot so I for sure was impressed with how many folks were inside dining and how many cars the lot could hold. It was a Saturday afternoon and everyone had tables full of delicious barbecue that we passed in front of as we got sat by the friendly staff. We loved the moist brisket sandwich, fall off the bone pork ribs, plus Later on we ordered 1lb of their jalapeno cheddar sausage to go and had it the very next day while back at home in Austin. The sausage was so juicy and succulent that we didn't regret having leftovers for even another meal - morning breakfast with egg - the next day. Portions were large and there was plenty of food to bring back home with us to enjoy later. Great and wonderful and attentive staff is what makes this spot even that more enjoyable.

He liked the sandwich but the soup was thin and too sweet. The service was super fast. We had our food in about 5 minutes. The place was pretty cute and looked clean.

Service was good, but food was not good this time around... Our onions rings weren't rings, they were pieces cut in half, my hamburger steak was burnt and topped with a light gravy, not the same gravy that I had previously(ordered this for my last visit so I could tell the difference and also have a picture), my husbands farmhouse cheesesteak was wayyyyy too salty, he said it was like biting into a salt rock, he never spits his food out, but this time he did...I wanted to see for myself so I went ahead and tried it as soon as the meat touched my tongue I could taste the salt, it was way over salted!! And our chips for our spinach and artichoke dip were burnt! The kids food turned out ok, they said they didn't taste anything in the Mac and cheese so it was ok to sprinkle a dash of salt on there. Our server Christina was helpful and more than apologetic, and was able to have them remake my hamburger steak, she said something looked off about the gravy, we both agreed and it looks light and like the gravy for the country fried steak... she tried to compensate for the food quality with a sweets item- we chose a slice of chocolate cake which was such a nice gesture. We enjoy coming here, especially considering it's a drive away from us, but we couldn't help but notice that this was the first time we didn't see the owner on the property or premises, don't know if that has anything to do with it and him watching the food come out properly.. but maybe next time we'll call ahead to see if he'll be in before we decide to dine in.. I hope they can improve, like I said maybe just a one off day...
