Texas barbecue and barbecue in general has gotten really popular and hence a bit more pricey. But…read moredef not paying crazy inflated prices here. I remember eating bbq in the 4th ward of Houston for super cheap with kool-aid (for free) as a drink. I've also been to a lot the "hip spots" that are run by whomever is a cool smoke pit master. I've had the meat sweats in Lockhart... and this place is representing Central Texas really well! Just an FYI, bbq was meant to make the cuts of meat that weren't the best.... delicious. Hence the amount of time it takes to get it right. This place is run by some of the nicest people I have ever met. There is nothing pretentious about this place (which makes me really happy) and the servings are hefty... and the price is right. I ordered a plate that came with one meat, two sides (potato salad and cole slaw) and a bottled sweet tea for $16.24 before tip. Oh! Obligatory white bread - two slices.. not just one. The ribs were great. Not necessarily fall off the bone... but nicely cooked with great smokey flavor. Potato salad was very close to some of the German potato salad I have had overseas. (But with the name, I can see why). Cole slaw was also good - not too vinegary and not too sweet. This is a really great value. Now, this spot is in between two bars. It has a walk up window and a nice area to eat outside next to it. They do take card and not just cash. There appears to be a port-a-potty for usage. But if you're "thirsty thirsty" for a nice ice cold adult beverage, I recommend you go to the bar to the left with the Marine Corps flag flying and not to the right with all the biker parking. Exceptions can be made if Rachel is working... Get you some meats!

Located in a nail salon parking lot off Sparta Rd in Belton near the Walmart and HEB (next to the Oishii food truck). Outdoor seating available. Tables and chairs so you can enjoy the fresh air while eating your food. Plenty of parking space. Staff is very friendly and inviting. It's evident they care about their customers and want to provide them with some delicious food. I ordered the A La Mexicana sub. Bread was soft, steak was hot with melted cheese. Jalepeños on the side by request. Sub was prepared fresh upon order so it took a few minutes. I recommend eating immediately because the steak juices will make the bread soggy if left to sit awhile. Comes with a pickle. There are three sub sizes, small, medium and large. You have the option to make it a combo with fries or cookie and a drink. Next time you are craving Subway/Jimmy John's/Firehouse/Jersey Mike's, try this place instead and support local businesses!

Had the opportunity of eating at their food truck at a wine tasting event over the weekend. I'm…read morenot from the Killeen area so let me start off by saying I support black-owned businesses 100% and purchased something from every one of them at the event whether I needed what they were selling or not. Food was okay. I thought dessert size was a bit small for the price so I passed on them. As a consumer that loves to shop and eat I wanted to share my input on business transparency. Understand your rights and beware: They are charging 4% (the max for credit card purchases) in addition to adding tax on the 4% and your purchase. I work in finance and can calculated total automatically in my head. When I asked about the higher amount for my food before paying I was told it was the taxes. Not to hold up the line and it was hot as all get out; I asked for receipt and noticed that the 4% was added to the advertised food item and additional taxes added as a result. Businesses have to disclose upfront before closing the transaction that they are charging a processing fee for credit card purchases. My issue is I used a debit card and should not have been charged a fee (illegal under the Texas business statute) at all. Black business education yourself and don't be the victim of fines accessed by the State of Texas for failing to know the laws and statues protecting consumers.

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.
