I didn't enjoy it very much, but I did find my friend's broccoli salad interesting. I don't really like raw broccoli, but the dressing tasted good.

The Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ list has been a guide and light for me through these past couple of…read moremonths as I have tried so many excellent BBQ joints all over Texas. A joint that has been close to me but regularly out of reach was Rossler's Blue Cord Barbecue. The Harker Heights-based food truck routinely sets up shop outside a dentist's office on Wednesdays and Thursdays for lunch and does a few pop-ups on the weekend as well. Thanks to having to work through the week, the stars have not aligned for me to try Rossler's until today. Rossler's Blue Cord Barbecue set up shop outside the recently opened Porch Light Bar in Salado for the Christmas Stroll off Main Street both Friday and Saturday, and I wasn't gonna miss my chance. I invited my cousin's fiancé to join me, and we made the trek up I-35 to get here. All in the name of stamps and barbecue. For me, this is stamp 20. That is two fifths of the way there. The food truck opened right after 12:30, and I had to order a little bit of everything. For a reasonable 46 dollars, I was able to order a FOUR meat plate with two sides. That is two meals right there. Lunch and dinner. I will share my thoughts on everything I had below: Brisket: A quarter pound slab of dreams. It was really well rounded and the flavors were delightful. I thought the brisket was really savory. Pork Ribs: The bark on those suckers was phenomenal. There is something special in that seasoning that really makes it stand out. Jalapeño and Cheese Sausage: I have tried quite a few sausage variations through my journey, but I think this might be the best straight Jalapeño and Cheese sausage I have had. Most I have had is too cheesy and lacks the jalapeño kick or is just jalapeño with no cheese. I have had a few that feel like the cheese was melted and cooled off, making it stay solid. Here, the cheese melts in your mouth with the rest of the sausage. I was thoroughly impressed. Raspberry Pork Belly Burnt Ends: I do not normally get another meat after the trinity, but a raspberry glaze talks to me. A good burnt end is tender and flavorful, and the best ones I have are sweet as well. The raspberry glaze here really tells that story. I might sound like a broken record, but again, I was thoroughly impressed. Elote Pasta Salad: The best of both worlds. This side combines the fantastic flavors of elote with the noodles in a pasta salad, almost making a faux mac and cheese with corn. It is very sweet and flavorful. Dirty Rice: I love Cajun food, and this dirty rice recommended by the staff really hits those seasoning notes. I could eat something like this with every meal. Spiced Banana Pudding: Sometimes you have to throw in a dessert, and a gingerbread-like Nilla Wafer in banana pudding is next level stuff. It is an upgraded take on a Texas BBQ classic. I also got to try a bite of the Borracho Beans and their mac and cheese. Both were excellent, and I think cohesively, Rossler's has some of the best sides in the game right now. After getting my food, I got to chat with pitmaster Steven Rossler and learn his story from his time in the military. That is where the Blue Cord in their name comes from. I also learned what got him into barbecue. He has created something special here, and I will always celebrate somebody who has roots in West Texas. Both Steven and Kristen Rossler have cracked the code in Texas barbecue, and this is a must try location on the list. Their specialty hours can always be found at the start of each week on social media, and I highly recommend making a trip out to wherever they are stationed to give this a shot because it is worth it. To Rossler's Blue Cord, I salute you. RIYL: Barbecue worth the journey, but sides that make you plan the next trip.

Energetic is the best word to describe her. I should have gotten her name for a shoutout. The business was spotless, the music was comforting and they support local business. The brisket was literally fall apart good. The mac n cheese was just the right amount of creamy with the toasted cheese on top and the candied yams couldn't have been any better. The sausage was flavored like they did the casing themselves. The potato salad was a home run and the seasoned rice was cooked to perfection. My overall rating for this establishment 5/5 would return in a heat heat. Most likely my new BBQ spot way to go

Right off the back the pulled pork was very tender and flavorful and I do not care for pork that much. The brisket was also very tender but lacked seasoning. The yams were awesome, the corn was overcooked and I am sure its because we got the food right before closing, the cabbage lacked salt and pepper, and the mac n cheese needed salt and pepper as well. Overall the meal was good just a few tweaks here or there and the sides would be bomb! My husband insisted that the brisket needed some smokiness and needed a little more seasoning as well. All in all 7.5/10... for now! Service was awesome and the establishment was clean!

The taste of this meat concoction makes Ronald McDonald, Wendy & The King shrink back into a hole so deep you'll ask, what's that? Dare I say it? .... even Whataburger will bow down to this one. This isn't an average patty. This is absolute max on taste, texture, & thoughtful composition. Nothing over the top or overdone. Simple & really, just masterfully put together & toting that perfect smoked flavor. That nice bun holds it all stacked without slipping for the just-right & complete bite. Combos are simple with chips & canned soda. Plenty of room to sit inside the cool A/C out of the wind & heat. That's all you need really because this burger is THE SHOW the tongue & your hunger is dying to get. This ain't fast food & you're going to tell everyone you know, guaranteed. GO get you one, FRIDAYS only at the moment. But one day Pustka Family, this is going to be your daily banger!! I know they put out the 'cue but everyone around me that got something other than this burger was honestly jealous. That sausage y'all ..... there's a reason this joint made the honorable mention Top Texas 100 BBQ (the top 50 is coveted) & this is it. The flavor & oozy cheese just pops outta that juicy, snappy skin eliciting spicy goodness like nothing else ever could. Doesn't even NEED sauce. Just by itself can render your palate wild. I KID YOU NOT. Don't miss that one & it serves as a perfect side to the burger I had. Absolutely, fast, friendly & kind service by gentleman who essentially could be your favorite neighbor. They're definitely pushing out Temple's finest BBQ. I mean I just can't think of anyone else.... wait, sorry Best Quality, they got you beat for now. Even if there were 15 other joints in town, they AIN'T beating this meal right here. Just get here already Friday & get there before they sell out. You can't drool forever. Get satisfied 'Dustin' the bottom of your plate & you'll be dreaming about this one a long time, 'Mark' my words!! Update: Sadly, Yelp can't keep the pictures loaded properly for prior & current review, they lost them and my captions. So I had to add them again all in this one. Dunno!??

Our Review: A Solid Standard BBQ Meal from a Texas Monthly Top 100 Contender…read moreThis food truck, proudly holding a Texas Monthly Top 100 BBQ award, delivers a reliable and satisfying barbecue experience that settles comfortably into the realm of "nice standard BBQ." The operation is traveler-friendly, offering both indoor and outdoor seating to escape the heat. We found the prices to be reasonable, sharing a three-meat plate and a drink for $26.74, which is solid value for the quality. The Meats: Hits and Misses The selection of meats provided a good showcase of the pitmaster's skill, though consistency was the key challenge. The star was the Jalapeño and Cheese Sausage. It featured a nice double grind and boasted a perfect, audible snap on the casing. It was wonderfully cheesy, packed with a flavorful blend of cheddar and jack cheeses that made every bite decadent and satisfying. The Brisket delivered excellent smoke flavor, complete with a prominent smoke ring and a great, peppery bark. However, the texture was a letdown, as the meat was noticeably a little dry and chewy in places, suggesting it either rested too long or was sliced from a less-moist section. The Ribs were juicy but tough. They were nice and juicy in flavor, but the overall texture was a little tough and not consistent across the bone, leaving some parts more enjoyable than others. Creative Sides: The sides attempted to be innovative and added welcome brightness to the heavy meats: * Jalapeño Cole Slaw: The addition of green apple was a brilliant touch, offering a great, refreshing flavor contrast. While the jalapeños gave it a much-needed kick, the heat did not integrate well with the overall mix of flavors, feeling a bit separate from the main slaw profile. * Charred Corn Elote Salad: This side was a hit in flavor, presenting a delicious nice mixture of corn and cream. The only slight drawback was the temperature; serving this side warm would dramatically elevate the richness and texture of the cream and charred corn. Final Takeaway: This award-winning food truck offers a good, affordable, and nice standard BBQ meal. While the sausage is a must-try, the brisket and ribs need minor consistency improvements to truly climb the Texas rankings. Given the reasonable pricing and dual seating options, it's a great stop for a dependable BBQ fix.
