Cole slaw, Pinto Beans and Chocolate Pie topped it off. I've been to hole-in-the-wall and fancy sit down barbecue places in KC, IN, KY, NC, TN, TX and OH and this ranks among the best! The ambience is just what one might expect in a neighborhood place. Service was friendly and helpful. And there was one sports star on the wall - Roger Staubach - still a hero in TX!

The restaurant is very simple. There is nothing fancy about the ambience at all. It's just downhome country. You order at the register and then grab a table. We got there just before the after church Sunday rush so we were able to find a table easily. Shortly after we got our food, the line was out the door. The food came very quickly. They call your name and bring the food to the table. I had a two meat platter with turkey and brisket. The turkey was tender and just slightly smoky. The brisket was excellent. I forgot to ask for lean like I usually do but the brisket was not overly fatty. The meat was very smoky, very tender, and very flavorful. The portion was generous for $18. I would guess half a pound of each meat (?) The sauce on the table is a bit sweet and tangy. The BBQ beans were excellent. The potato salad was good but needed salt. We all enjoyed our meal. Even the kid, who is super picky, ate a bunch of brisket. It was a good choice and I definitely would eat here again if we came to Jefferson City.

This place looks fun from the outside and a bit dicey on the inside, but the line told me I was in the right place. It was almost back to the door when I walked in, but it moved quickly. Seating is pretty limited, especially for a party of one or two as most tables have 5-6 places. Everybody was so friendly. I think I could've asked to sit down if I wanted to, but I went ahead and got my order to go. The menu seems pretty reasonable with baskets and platters between $10 and $18. A lot of reviews seem to talk about the Swamp Fries, so I had to get a small order of those. I also got the sliced Brisket sandwich with a side of onion rings. The brisket barbecue is served dry but has a good smoke right on it and good flavor by itself, but they give you plenty of barbecue sauce to add to it. That's exactly what I did along with some pickles to make my sandwich taste just right . The Swamp Fries are wonderful with fresh FF, smothered in chopped brisket, shredded cheese, and sliced jalapeños. There's no way I could've eaten a large so I'm glad even though it was just two dollars more I decided to opt for the smaller portion and still had leftovers to take home. Overall, really good food definitely worth a stop in.

We shared the three meat plate (brisket, sausage and pork ribs), with charro beans and potato salad on the side. All meats were fantastic, very moist, especially the brisket, which was a nice surprise. The potato salad was so good I wish I had taken a pint home. My husband had the frito pie and loved it. Doni insisted the ribs were dry (even though my husband devoured them) , so he brought us a plate with pulled pork to our table. About 5 minutes later he brought us another plate with a fresh serving of ribs. All of these were complimentary. Now THAT is hospitality! It was so much food that we got to take a full to-go box for the trip back home. The atmosphere was charming and cozy, and we got to enjoy a great meal while getting some respite from the storm. Next time we are in Marshall, we are definitely having lunch here again!
