    Good food. My daughter is an EXTREMELY picky eater and she loved the smoked turkey. Portions are generous. Quaint environment.

    Awesome food and their baked potatoes are the best I have ever had. The atmosphere is very cool as well. Definitely will be coming back.

    My wife and I come here every other Thursday (80 minute round trip) and have been here 15+…read moretimes...without a doubt, I can say this is easily one of my top 3 burger places in America. First of all, and most importantly, the burgers are fantastic. Flat top grilled burgers are seasoned to perfection. (There's no bigger disappointment than a bland flavorless burger; luckily you don't have to worry about that here) You must order the jalapeño sourdough bun. It is incredible. Slight kick from the jalapeño offsets the slight sweetness from the bun and is the perfect complement to the meat. (My wife doesn't like spicy foods but she loves the jalapeño bun, it's not too spicy for those that prefer mild foods) If you do like a spicier burger (but not so hot that you can't taste anything after the first bite), I get a double pepper jack cheese burger on the jalapeño bun with the cream cheese jalapeño dressing...it's amazing. Their fries are the only disappointing aspect of the meal..in my opinion... They are shoestring fries and while they are cooked perfectly, I think they would be better if they were hand cut fries or at least have a house made seasoning on the fries. The service is wonderful. You're always greeted when you walk in. All the ladies that work the floor are great at their jobs. Walter (the owner) is an awesome guy. The decor of the restaurant is cool. It's in an old 1800's saloon with the creaky floors. Mismatched chairs and tables just add to the ambiance. They have live music on Friday nights. Note - they are only open on Thurs, Fri & Sat. Cash only! (Follow their Facebook page for updates - they post regularly) Please give this place a try. I'm quite sure you won't regret it.

    This was a great little hole in the wall! The place to be if you live in town!! The hamburger was…read moretasty but the fries were overcooked and crunchy. Live music was a terrific perk on the Saturday evening we visited. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you so the service was good for what it was as an order at the counter kinda place.

    I picked up some brisket, sausage and a couple of family size side dishes. The meats were AMAZING!…read more Hands down the best brisket I have had a in a very long time. Those cowboy beans were great! It easily fed the 4 of us for about $60.00. Thats 15 bucks a head....not bad considering a combo meal at a fast food joint can hit you for 12-15 bucks now. 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.

    So, not sure how many times I have been here now, but it's a lot; going back over the prior year…read more Biggest challenge for me is hours of operation. They are currently only open a few days a week for a few hours on those select days. Bummer. I'm not going to get into whether or not this place is good, I've already addressed it in prior reviews and updates; in one word it's 'stellar'. The proprietor; Derek has done a tremendous job moving from very small outlet to a very cool large restaurant facility. I took five people there on Saturday and it was a great experience. Derek personally brought the food out. We chatted for a bit, I congratulated him on his growing his business. He said in one day, he does more revenue than he did in a weeks time at his prior "to go" only location. Good for him, he's a true American success story that clearly busted his butt to build his business. If only we had more of those. He's got a great formula. I can't criticize anything he's done; even the bathrooms are spotless and top notch. Whoever built out the plumbing in his place is truly an artist, you have to look at the details, it's not a budget operation. Kudos to this guy for killing it and putting a great crew together. If you haven't tried it you're doing yourself a disservice. If I'm disappointed about one thing, it's the fact he doesn't have those tallow based salted chocolate chip cookies anymore; at least that I could tell. I forgot to ask him about it. He may have had trouble getting consistent quality from his baker, but they were just absolutely awesome and a hell of a deal in my opinion. Pro Tip: I mentioned that I had a pellet grill and I wasn't able to get enough smoke flavor into the meat. It turns out he started on the same one I have. I've got a Yoder YS 640 competition model. He gave me some solid pointers. I can't wait to try them. It will never be as good as his, but hopefully I can improve.

    Driving around Texas eating BBQ on the Texas Monthly Top 50 so we had to drop by North Texas Smoke…read more I knew that this place was popular and might sell out fast so I started calling and DM this place as we really did want so brisket. The problem occurred when we showed up and were told that they were out of Brisket. After a brief conversation with the lady taking orders and the pit master they were able to find us some chopped and sliced brisket, THANK YOU. The brisket was good as were the ribs but the star of the show was the boudin. We got our order to go. So the process is order and pay out 1 window then wait to hear your name so that you can get your order. When we visited the place was hard to find and we drove past it once as they did not have a sign. It's a nice place and the food was good. My recommendation try hard to order early and call them several times before they run out of brisket.
