They have two different kinds of sauce, ("If it's good bbq, you don't need sauce") I don't care for either of them so it's a good thing their bbq is good. We mostly stick to the brisket and ribs but we've had the pulled pork as well and it's good. Haven't found a bad side yet and we've tried a lot of them. They always have peach and/or blackberry cobbler and it looks amazing but I do not like either of those. However on Sunday they have apple cobbler and it is just as amazing as it looked. They have the old fashioned long hallway walk to the ordering section that I haven't really seen since I was a kid. It brings back a lot of memories for me. They have a decent sized dining area, and a huge dance area in the back that has a full service bar and picnic tables set up for eating. We normally go into the music hall to eat and don't eat in the dining area. There's a big stage and they have live music and free dance lessons once a week.

The ambience of the place is really nice and with live music on Saturdays I'm sure the place is hopping. However, I honestly feel that the food is overrated. There are other highly rated BBQ places in Lindale that I preferred to eat at but they are only opened on Saturdays or days we weren't in town for. I imagine they are preferred more by locals simply because of the quality of food cooked on fewer days opened.

When we pulled up I was pleased to find a rustic building with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is covered which is nice because it was actually raining that day. There was a large somewhat rowdy group sitting outside as we walked in, so we opted to sit indoors in the AC. It wasn't very crowded and there were plenty of open tables. You order at a counter, and a very polite young man took our orders and said it would be brought out to the table. While we were waiting a very friendly gentleman stopped by the table to welcome us in and see if we needed anything while waiting for our drinks. I was struck by how friendly the staff was and it definitely made a great first impression. I've been pleasantly surprised to find that BBQ places usually have options for vegetarians because of all the delicious sides (which is my favorite part anyway). I was very happy to enjoy a baked potato, mac and cheese, cole slaw etc as my family enjoyed the typical bbq fare. We were given I think one cup of bbq sauce with our plate but were able to get more when we asked the staff. As we were eating, Moma T herself came out and introduced herself, and just like everyone else we met she is one of the nicest people I've met. So super welcoming and even offered us a slice of complimentary cheesecake. It was super generous but we ended up going up to order and pay for two slices of cheesecake. It was very decadent, maybe a little too sweet for me but they had a ton of different flavors that all looked delicious. The customer service definitely earned the 5 stars for me on this one, I would visit again if I was ever back in town.

Their meat was tender and juicy, the sausages are made in house, and they make them gluten free so that was a pleasant surprise. The outdoor area is very nicely laid out, it has a stage for bands that come and play. I will say the pricing is a little insane. $6 for a singular sausage link is pretty pricy. We ended up spending $65 in total after tipping the staff. I would come back if I was in the area and needed a meal that I knew was safe for my allergy. The barbecue sauce was also gluten free!

Minneola has plenty of good places to eat,…read moreand it's a town I pass through often since it's near where my dad loves to fish--but no matter how many options there are, I always find myself coming back here. I'm not even the biggest BBQ person, which says a lot--but their brisket is unbelievable, easily the best I've had and still unmatched anywhere else I've tried. It's tender, flavorful, and consistently excellent. My go-to order is the Frito Q pie with green beans and fried okra. The sides are always packed with flavor, and I love that the okra is fried to order--it's always hot and crisp. But my absolute favorite item on the menu has to be the pork rind nachos. They're indulgent in the best way and completely unforgettable. CowBurners has become such a staple for me that I actually plan a stop whenever I'm driving from Nashville to Dallas, just to make sure I get a fix. That alone should tell you how good it is. This is one of those rare spots that keeps you coming back--not out of habit, but because nothing else quite compares.

There are a few rules when it comes to Texas barbecue. The biggest is "Get there early, or leave…read morehungry." I very rarely make that mistake, but when you have over a three-hour drive to get to a spot, balancing an early arrival with meaningful sleep is no easy task. I left before 9 am and through the lengthy drive, I got to B4 Barbecue a little before noon. B4 is a little different. It's not a food truck. It's not your typical brick and mortar. B4 is housed in Mabank Feed, next to plenty of Ariat products and horse food. I expect most places in Austin to have a line, but I didn't expect B4 to wrap around the entire feed store. As I sat there waiting to order, they were selling out fast. By 12:30, they were down to Texas Twinkies and their house sausage. I ordered one of each plus a side of their Mexican Street Corn (Elote to the ball knowers). The house sausage was very solid. It was extremely juicy and firm with great flavor. However, the star of the show was the Texas Twinkie. A jalapeño stuffed with brisket, wrapped in bacon, and smoked to perfection. It wasn't too spicy, but the jalapeño created a solid base while the brisket inside was shockingly creamy and soft like the inside of a Twinkie. The smoked bacon wrap added a final touch of flavor. It was super unique and incredible. I feel honored to even get to try it. As my only side, the Mexican Street Corn rocked and had a ton of flavor throughout. The bread served on the side was Texas toast that was buttery and crispy. A very welcome change from the typical white bread slices I normally have with my barbecue. For the travelers like me, if they have the stock, the $35 sampler will get you 1 slice of everything on their menu plus 1 side. Worth it if you're riding solo and need to try a little bit of this and that. They also sell boba which I wanted to order but completely forgot to ask for while I was there. I want to go back to B4. I need to go back to B4. If this small sample was a sign, this is another heavy hitter in the world of Texas barbecue. You just have to get there before 11 if you want to try it.

Beware that this BBQ spot is located inside of a country feed store. The sign for the feed is large and visible from the road while the B4 sign is smaller. Parking lots of gravel lot. You enter the feed store walk through all the clothing and look to your left. We arrived at 10:45 and we were first in line. They didn't open till 11:15am as they had computer problems. You order and pay at the counter they prepare the order of food in the back and bring it out to your table. We got the 2 meat plate with 2 sides (1/2) pound of protein and we added a Texas Twinkie, The plate also includes pickles, onions, bread and BBQ sauce. The brisket looked good and tasted ok, it was sliced a bit thinner than what Zi am used to getting. The sausage was very tasty. The Texas Twinkie was a small size Twinkie not worth the price. The street corn looks beautiful and tasted delicious. The potato salad had too much vinegar for my taste. The roll was nice and warm. In my opinion B4 Barbeque is a good place to stop and eat at if you are driving by. Congrats on making the Texas Monthly Top 50 list.
