    Regular menu soul food Sunday menu
    Amber K.

    Stopped here on my way back to Dallas, lured in by reviews. The customer service was top-notch--I ordered banana pudding, they ran out, and they promised me a free dessert next time. I changed my side last minute, and they threw in an extra one for free. Then I met the brisket. Dry doesn't even begin to cover it--I thought I was going to have a medical emergency.The green beans were just ok. But the peach cobbler? It was the Beyonce of the meal--absolute perfection. Outside seating, music playing, lots of flies, 10/15 minute wait. Luckily it was a breezy day so it wasn't a bad vibe but I'm sure mid summer it can be brutal. I pass by here a lot so I'll be back to try something else, though. The customer service was a vibe.

    Stopped though here on way home. So glad we did. Soul food Sunday Loaded macaroni (pulled pork) Loaded potato (brisket) Meat plate: brisket, Mac, green beans The wait was well worth it. We sat on a porch and none of us could finish. The meat was so tender, probably the most tender I've had.

    Gooood stuff and just what I needed after 6 months in new york. Brisket was tender and had a good bark. The chicken, my mother in law's order, was something we talked about all day. It was so juicy and flavorful. Plus it was like a half a chicken for 12.50. The sides were also all good. Between 3 of us, we had green beans, ranch beans, potato salad (mustard for the win!). It was hard to pass up the Mac and cheese but new years resolutions and all that stupid stuff. I could have gone for a thinner, spicier sauce but I'm nit picking here. The service was very hospitable and accommodating. The daily specials looked really intriguing (but I needed brisket).

    I love a good country feeling bbq place! The BBQ is amazing!! I got chopped beef sandwiches and peach cobbler. The brisket was so tender and the flavor was that good ole smoked brisket taste! My family recommended me to this place because they stay in the area. I set on the porch with the heaters listening to music relaxing! Customer service was amazing. Parking you just pull right in. Wait time is great for fresh food!

    Bottom Line: *NOT* where Google maps shows them to be (North…read moreLaSalle St north of Navasota TX, which is their kitchen location). Their vending location is south of Navasota on South LaSalle St just across a double set of railroad tracks. Circle 4 is a diamond in the rustic rough serving very very tender BBQ and generous portions of flavorful, though fairly typical, sides at "can't be beat" prices. Seriously, their prices are almost 50% off of what is usually charged in the College Station & Bryan TX area. These folks are easily the value champs for BBQ. This is the kind of place you dream of finding as you pound out the thousands of miles the road demands of you before rewarding you with such hidden gems. Save yourself the miles and take my recommend to visit this Mom & Pop joint if you're ever in the area. Top Line: I hit up this delightful duo for a sliced beef sandwich, 3 pork ribs, and 8 oz each of potato salad & beans. While they do have picnic table seating, it was too windy that day to sit outside. I and my lunch would have wound up a couple counties over in no time! So I knoshed in my car and watched a couple hawks wheel around the windy sky. The sandwich was built on white Wonder bread style slices. Sauce was very tomatoey in taste with a solid pepper snap to it. Beef was, as noted, very very tender. Smoke taste was less distinct & punchy than many other briskets I've had in the past. Smoke note was softer & more subtle. Still a mighty tasty sandwich. Ribs were literally "fall off the bone" tender. I had to be careful eating them or gravity would strip the meat off the bone onto my lap, which I'd judiciously napkined up as a precaution. The rib meat was super tender on the tongue. The 3 bones came in a cup pre-drenched with plenty of the aforementioned peppery tomato sauce. You can bet plenty of finger lickin' ensued after the bones were chewed clean. The sides were not at the same level as the meats. The beans tasted okay, as if a can of grocery store beans had been doctored a bit. I seemed to get turmeric spicing notes, a touch of smoke, and a touch of heat at the back end. The potato salad also tasted like pretty standard fare, with a hint of pickle juice flavor shining through. Bonus points for them providing a functioning bathroom, complete with hot water, for cleanup in such a rustic setting. The couple who are Circle 4 BBQ are delightful examples of Texas cordiality, so it was fun to meet them. As a testament to the quality level of their fare, while I hung out eating my way through what proved to be just a touch too much food, there was a steady stream of burly guys picking up to-go orders & piling back into their pickups & semi big rigs before pulling back out onto the road. These guys obviously know a smokin' deal for BBQ when it comes their way.

    Best BBQ in town as far as I am concerned. Also does great catering of many other entrees!read more

Annie's from the outside looks like a decent place to make a pit stop. It's really a gas station with a steam table set up of some fast food. FYI this is Not real BBQ like you find at authentic BBQ places in Austin. The BBQ here is stewy like in sauce yet dries out quickly because of no proper covers on it. First off if you stop early they do have a hot fast food section of food like breakfast burritos and meats. I've been in there at 8:30 am and still wasn't impressed enough to purchase any of the breakfast food. It dries out real quick (no covers) and I don't like crusty looking food. By afternoon their food looks even more petrified. I think if you purchase something from that section it's best to get something as soon as the lady brings in a fresh pan of it. I'd rather go to the Sonic across the street for fresh fast food. Actually I've found most items higher priced over their competition south of them on hwy 105 on the east and west sides of the freeway. I got ticked off when I bought hostess marshmallow sno balls and they charged me $2.37 plus tax and I found them at Walmart for $1.00 no tax an hour later. Prices are noticeably higher on items I purchase all the time. Last visit....not impressed with anything! Yelp Review #320
