We got there about 5:30pm (they close at 7pm), and they were out of ribeye, chicken fried steak, shrimp and hamburgers. BBQ was OK. Hickory smoked I believe. No dry rub. Beef ribs. Homemade sausage. Moist sliced brisket. Catfish OK as well. Sides are self-serve during all you can eat. Typical BBQ sides - green beans, pinto beans, potato salad, coleslaw, fried okra, mashed potatoes and gravy (white and brown gravies) and chopped lettuce for salad. All sides were sampled by our group and were OK. The service was OK as well as there wasn't a waitstaff since it was mostly serve yourself. The owner was at the register and was friendly enough. Overall, an average BBQ restaurant. Not bad, but not great either. Just OK.

My sides were Cajun fries and gumbo, neither was very flavorful. Staff were all smiles and interacting with guests. Decor was typical of what I've found here in Texas. I wanted to try the rubs as those are what was suggested but they only do ribs on Fridays. So I didn't get a chance to have those. I was passing through and saw bbq so I gave it a shot. Next time I stop hopefully they have ribs. Then I'll get to try those and see but I would not recommend the brisket at all. I ended up tossing this meal.

My Brisket was exactly what I thought OK Barbecue was advertised to be; tender, great smoke flavor, and moist, with the visible sign that it was successfully smoked with the pink-colored ring indicating the meat was cooked "slow and low".

I live in Washington but I'm from Sunset....I must say...we do not get this caliber of brisket up here on Whidbey Island. I could eat this everyday!!. Thanks Juan. Incredible meal!

After an early morning flight to DFW, we were halfway through the two-hour drive to the north-Texas…read moretown of Wichita Falls when lunch sounded like a good idea. Initially, I said that I was in the mood for a lighter lunch, but when we read some of the many 5-star reviews for Juan and Allie's BBQ that said things like "I will always come here whenever I am within a six hour drive", I changed my mind. So we pulled off the highway and about a half-mile into the small town of Sunset. I realized we were at the spot when the faint smell of wood smoke trickled to my nose from the side of a weatherbeaten building with a "Backyard BBQ" banner tacked to the front. Walking inside, we were greeted by nods from a table of men in work boots and jeans, and then promptly welcomed by Allie herself. She indicated the day's menu on the board and helpfully answered our questions. The inside dining area was comfortable and homey, even if like the outside it had seen better days. Sagging ceiling tiles and duct tape repairs told the story of getting by and focusing on the important things. It is a real family-run operation, with Juan smoking the meats and Allie making the sides, along with waiting tables. On the day we visited at least, it was just the two of them working. Of course I had to order brisket since it was Texas, but the sides presented a more challenging decision. After hearing Allie's description of their cowboy beans, I chose those and the potato salad. She disappeared into the back room, and soon returned with a large metal tray containing slices of brisket and Texas-sized portions of sides. The brisket was beautifully smoked and sliced, and flavor was perfect. The only deduction I have to make was due to it being a little less tender than I would expect from a great brisket. It went down easily despite having said I was not in the mood for a pile of meat, but I did have to make use of my knife a little more than usual. The sides were big on home-cooked flavor. In both, I noticed a big difference from typical southern or big-name barbecue joints in that they were not overly sweet but relied on more earthy seasonings for their taste. They were excellent complements to the beef, and deserve some recognition of their own. After our meal was done, we chatted with Juan outside for a minute, where we learned some of the details mentioned above. It would have been cool to hear more about their story, but they had work to do and we had to get back on the road. So we pulled back onto the highway, having experienced a friendly welcome to Texas and a satisfying first meal in the Lone Star State.
