    Too to bottom: Sauces, pulled pork, original sausage, turkey, ribs, and brisket.
    Josh W.

    We decided to try this new addition to Princeton and we were pleasantly surprised! From the friendliness of the owner to the taste of the food, this really is a place you need to try. We didn't get any sides, since we have three kids who don't like normal bbq sides, but we got a 1/2 pound of 5 different meats and I will break them down one by one. Pulled pork: maybe the best pulled pork I have had since moving down to Texas. It was pulled to perfection and it really packed some good flavor. Paired with either the sweet or original sauce, it didn't lose its flavor and made a super good bite. Sausage: this sausage was my wife's favorite of the bunch. It has a kielbasa flair to it, and was super good on its own or paired with their sauces. We really got a lot of it. My kids really liked it as well (which is saying something if you know them). Turkey: My only complaint was that it was dry. Flavor was on point and paired with the sauces you could barely tell. Ribs: we were split on these but my son and I both agree these were pretty dang good. I loved the rub they put on them (way better than the Traeger rub I used on mine last week). My wife didn't like the texture, as they were not fall off the bone. These definitely had a tug on them, but were really meaty, and the flavor was SO good. I am a big stickler for ribs as so many big chains can't seem to get them right. These were done right. I am also jealous of their rub. Brisket: this was my sons favorite. I will omit my thoughts here as I am not a fan of brisket (at all) so it isn't super fair for me to judge. Everyone else loved it. My son REALLY loved it. Most of that half pound is in that 6 year old stomach right now. Overall, they had something for everyone. They were friendly, relatively quick (since it is one guy in there and we ordered a bunch) and best of all DELICIOUS! Not to mention we spent half of what we would a couple miles down the street (you all know who I am talking about). Thank you for bringing your talents to Princeton. We will be back!

    Pretty sure the great reviews are the result of small town small business support. I've never had a spud from a BBQ joint that wasn't stuffed to the brim with meat and only enough sauce to drizzle on top. Lackluster. Also, I watched the guy chopping the brisket to prep the potato and he discarded the fatty ends BBQ blasphemy. If you're gonna get a potato with meat just order the spud alone and order the .5lb of meat on the side, you'll make out better in the long run. And get extra sauce because the bland potato to topping ratio gets really boring after a few bites. Also tried the jalapeño sausage... again, not terrible, not great. Springy and tender, but salty and not much spice. They didn't give me enough sauce to have with it, only the potato drizzle one ounce (cup holds 2oz) cup. Not sure if the spicy sauce is really even spicy, gets too drown out in the potato. Prefer Redwines just a couple more miles down 380.

    The menu

    For a nice price that won break the bank you will enjoy wonderful Food that's delicious and filling. The $5 pull pork sandwich sounds like a grab and go snack but you will want to sit this one down enjoy this packed sandwich fully.

    The food was good. The people are nice. It definitely looks like you got sucked back to an island…read morein the Philippines for mirienda back home. Food is super legit by all means. The cooks know what they are doing. But just keep in mind that this is on a farm in the middle of Princeton Texas. And there were flies EVERYWHERE. You will see them fly and land and walk around all over the uncovered food. All of them. And nobody cared. So note to self. Lechon is $20 a pound. When I was there they maxed at 2 lbs per person. Some people called ahead. But be informed with their process on their Facebook page. Grilled squid was my favorite. It was $20. Not all options they pictured on their Facebook page that they stated were available actually are. I was looking forward to some pork blood stew and some barbecue pork on a stick and they didn't have any even tho it was mentioned that it would be there. Their process is not efficient as of yet so it takes a while to actually order and then pay for your food. So if you are in a rush- this is not a good idea. There is a little karaoke stage next to the open kitchen. A little stall with desserts being sold. Which were delicious!!! The Ube Leche flan was legit.

    This place has amazing food! I hate that it's only open on the weekends because they're always…read morepacked. I've been a few times now and I only go back because of the food! Even if you're the first customer that arrives ( which I have been ) you wait a really long time. I was there for almost 3 hours my first time there. The price is a tad on the high side, but you really can't find food like this anywhere. I love that they sell plants and I love the flan vendor next to them.
