Where can I start? Food? Delicious, flavorful, softest bbq I've ever eaten. Brisket sandwich no other sandwich cokes close. Loaded baked potato! Awesome flavor and more than enough for two people. Service? Owners are awesome and very welcoming. This is one place that deserves all the business in the world. Price wise, not expensive at all considering the amount of food that is served. We tried the brisket sandwich, cheese curds, loaded potato, pork ribs, all on point. Best lunch ever! Two dining areas, one with AC, one without and very comfortable either way.

Ace says the bbq sauce is finger-lickin' good

My parents live in Falfurrias & I always make a point to stop and eat here whenever I'm in town visiting! The food is always great & the staff is very friendly! My favorites are the chopped brisket & sausage with a side of potato salad and pinto beans. But I really don't think you could go wrong with anything here! Definitely give it a try! :) My kids also love it too!

Brisket and sausage

Stopped by on our way back to the valley. I have to say, brisket was very good, tender and juicy. My onion rings were crispy and tasty. Service was welcoming and friendly, it took a little to get our food, but we happened to arrive during the lunch rush so it was expected. Definitely worth the wait.

We wanted food on the way home, but not your typical Whataburger or McDonald's. We stopped at this place and WOW! Great food!

I was driving down 281 and saw this place setting off the side of the road I had to do a U turn to go back and am o glad I did. Caitlyn the cashier is super friendly and helpful. She suggested the beef rib it was amazing. This is a must stop place if you are in this area.

When you walk in, there's a clear line leading up to the register, with menus posted along the way and a large menu board up front, which makes ordering pretty easy. They offer a wide variety of options. The day we went, they had a chopped beef sandwich combo with a drink and a side for around $10, which felt like a solid deal. For my sides, I tried the mashed potatoes, potato salad, creamed corn, and okra. The okra was a standout--fresh, crispy, and really well done. The potato salad was also very good and worth getting. The creamed corn was something I hadn't had before--it included bacon and had a really unique flavor. It might not be for everyone, but I personally couldn't stop eating it, so I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. As for the chopped beef sandwich, it wasn't my favorite. It was a bit dry, even after adding extra barbecue sauce, and I didn't find it especially flavorful. That said, others in my group actually thought it leaned on the sweeter side, so your experience may vary. One thing that really stood out was the service. The staff was super friendly, patient, and happy to answer questions and help with recommendations. Overall, I'd say it's worth stopping by if you're in the area. If you're up for comparing, there's another barbecue spot a few miles down the road--Choke Canyon--that I've also enjoyed, especially for their sandwiches. Makes for a fun side-by-side if you're a BBQ fan.

Everything was delicious. I had the chicken fried chicken. My husband had the hamburger steak.read more

I was very disappointed with my experience…read more I ordered the ribeye with a baked potato and a house salad. The first issue was that my house salad didn't arrive until after my entrée was served. I ordered my steak medium, but when I cut into it, it was completely overcooked. The meat was gray throughout, with no pink at all, and it was so tough that I couldn't enjoy it. I almost never send food back, but this was one of those rare times. The waitress was very apologetic and confirmed she had entered the order correctly as medium, so she had the kitchen prepare another steak. While waiting, I started eating my salad. When the replacement steak arrived, it looked better from the outside, but once I cut into it, I found it was just as overcooked as the first one--gray all the way through and again with no hint of pink. On top of that the baked potato was cold and seemed to maybe be reheated in the microwave as it was chewy. The "fresh rolls" had to be 1-2 days old. Stale and flavorless. At that point, I couldn't help but question the quality of the steaks. For a steakhouse, I expected a much higher standard. Based on my experience, the meat seemed to be of poor quality and certainly didn't meet expectations for a properly cooked ribeye. The waitress did her best to make things right, and I appreciate her effort, but unfortunately the kitchen failed twice. I left very disappointed and wouldn't return based on the quality of the food.
