    Two meat plate two meat plate
    Chris C.

    Two meat plate with a drink and THREE sides for $17.29! What's not to like! I had brisk and sausage with coleslaw, green beans, and mixed vegetables. The meats and the sides were very good. It was not crowded and I am not sure why? Good food at a good price with good service . I would go back here .

    10/20/21 This is a knock your socks off kind of BBQ House! I was driving. Hubby had fallen asleep, so I quickly pulled off and went through the Drive through. We each ordered the 3 meat plate with 3 sides. BBQ CHICKEN, BRISKET & PORK RIBS. We got buttered potatoes, corn and banana pudding as our sides. Let me tell you! We BBQ all day long and get many compliments but this place wins. There's a huge parking lot that wraps around the restaurant for cars, and a dirt lot for Truckers and RV'ers. I really love this little restaurant. I don't think we have anything like it in California. We have about 1500 miles left of this road trip and enough leftovers for both me and my Husband. 5 Stars for this place. All the people involved in getting our meals together were efficient and kind. We paid $35 for 2-3 meat plates. Considering it will feed each of us twice.... That's a bargain. We will return some day. This is off the I-10 in or around Columbus, Tx. Great Place! Don't pass on the banana pudding!!!

    A great stop for local and fresh BBQ right off I-10. It was our second time visiting and the staff was as friendly as ever, and food was great! I wouldn't recommend the peas in particular, but everything else was awesome and the bbq sauce complements the meat well, which was super tender and flavorful. Great establishment!

    Ok guys. Why? Why have I been driving to Houston once, twice a month and I've never stopped at this place? Good grief I'm slacking big time! The service thru the line is quick. Friendly even. They slice and plate your food as you order it. We tried the 3 meat plate with the ribs, sausage, beef, double potato salad and beans. Those ribs... literally fall off the bone yummy. I'm a sausage kind of girl and the flavor of their sausage is magnificent. The beef (brisket) was delish as well. The potato salad looks and tastes different but don't be discouraged. It's really good the beans were a bit too peppery for me but the hubs liked them so we are good there. I would definitely give this place an easy 10* out of 5*...

    I feel honored to have met the legendary Jerry Mikeskas himself! He gave the kids and me silver dollars.

    A Texas original...and legend, Jerry Mikeskas cannot not be duplicated. The BBQ and ambiance is 100% authentic and original. Found this treasure on way back to San Antonio from Houston, right on I-10 in Columbus, Texas. The restaurant has over 200+/- taxidermy'd animals on the paneled walls which makes for lively conversation. We asked Jerry where he got all of them and he told us that he shot a few, but mostly he had bought them. There are also a ton of pictures of Jerry with miscellaneous famous people from Presidents, actors, astronauts and locals. After spending an hour in there, you feel like you really know the man. Imagine how surprised we were when he walked right out of the kitchen. The family got the Sunday buffet which was vast. There were 3-4 various salad items, 5-6 meats, starches, and 2-3 desserts all for just $10.95.

    Brisket, turkey, a rib, and sausage

    We came from Baton Rouge, LA for a wedding in Praha, TX. Never been out that way. I saw a sign on the interstate for a lunch buffet and decided to pop in on the way home. Great decision. I wish I had more room in my stomach so I could've tried everything. Brisket- on point. I could've eaten just brisket and been happy. Great bark and smoke ring. Really moist. Sausage- great flavor. Really good. Ribs- tender and flavorful. Turkey- thick cut breast, really good. Greens- soft and tasty. I just wanted too much bbq. Potato Salad- I enjoyed it, but I'm not a huge potato salad guy so that's a big compliment from me. Peach cobbler- phenomenal. Banana pudding- very very good. Most of these I only took one bite of off my fiancé's plate, or got just small portion because I wanted to try everything. If I went back, I'd load up on brisket and sausage and save room for more peach cobbler than the one bite I took. I've been on a diet for 7 weeks and went crazy for my cheat meal. Worth it. And only $12.95 on Sunday!

    Stopped by at Mikeska's BBQ Restaurant when driving from Austin to Houston. Amazing BBQ! Absolutely loved it. Sides were freshly made and really good. Great food and nice atmosphere, highly recommended!

    On the way back from seeing my father in Schulenberg, Texas...my son and I really wanted to try some country cooking BBQ, so we found this place before heading off I-10 towards Houston because it was the weekend, and everyone and their dog is headed back from San Antonio or something! lol we decided on the All-You-Can-Eat because is there any other way to try road-side BBQ? lol - needless to say, I was a bit taken aback on the price for two people and soft drinks because it came out to almost around $40!! I'm not going to delve much into any of the foods or sides because I didn't think much of this place, but the brisket is definitely a great addition to their food bar, but if you hate your brisket being very fatty...you're not going to like it.

    Beef brisket sandwich

    Our favorite Texas bbq for nearly twenty years. Columbus is a gateway to the Hill Country. No better introduction to real bbq than this. Our faves are ribs, sausage, brisket sandwich, & chicken-fried steak. Don't forget the sides. Thank you, Mikeska's.

    2 meat plate with 3 sides. Brisket and pork ribs w/butter onion potatoes, green beans and coleslaw.
    Jim B.

    Maybe the best brisket I've ever had! The ribs and sides were all fantastic also. I'm so glad I pulled off the 10 on my journey to Alabama for this great Texas BBQ! They are open for drive through and dinning room eating!

    Another trip to Prasek's, another great meal. This time it was the breakfast burrito. Oh this was…read moreso good. Cheesy eggs and ham and grilled onions n peppers n bacon. And big. I got half down. Took the rest home and finished the rest off for dinner. They have great dishes. If you've never had lunch or breakfast here, place an order, shop around, collect your meal and enjoy.

    Been here at least 20 plus times over the years. So hear me out. My family detests buccees. We all…read morehate the food at buccees, and everything is overrated. We cringe everytime we see any streamer say how great the food is at buccees. This place, could blow them away...but 1.) the staff sucks. Every single time we've come, it feels like NO ONE wants to be working there. Except for the wonderful older woman working the bakery early mornings. She does the basics. "Good morning", "have a great day", "let me get you a warm kolache", "have a safe trip". You know simple,polite,no extra small talk. Stuff that no one ever, like never besides her has done. The girls at check out are the worst. I'm going to leave it at that. At this point it's a management problem. 2.) it's not open 24 hours. The only reason we stop at buccees is to use the bathroom if we know we will get here before it opens. We will still keep coming. The toasted cinnamon coffee and pecan is AMAZING!!!! I've bought bags several times just to have it. The bakery goods, and jerky blow anything buccees has. I've bought steaks here to make back home and they were great. I've bought salsas, rubs, honey, cakes, etc.... The bathrooms even though they aren't as big, are just as clean as buccees. Never tried the restaurant here but maybe one day....
