The way BBQ should be. Friendly and quick service and a vibe that is typically found in a middle of no where Texas bbq joint. Is it the best BBQ in the Austin area? Probably not but for the price you pay the quality is supreme and I wish there were more spots like this in the Austin area. If you want some quality BBQ without breaking the bank this is the spot. Will definitely be back again read more

I don't get it. It should have been good. Was in Manor this weekend, visiting my mother-in-law and she asked for BBQ. Wife seemed to recall a hole-in-the-wall red building that sold it. When I saw it, I was SO excited. It was old, rickety, paint pealing and should've been condemned. I loved it! Exactly what I'd expect for good barbecue. Ordered two sliced brisket plates and a chopped brisket sandwich plate. Got the food to-go and headed to the house. I was SO disappointed with just about everything. MIL thought the sandwich was good, but she didn't get her coleslaw side. Wife's meat was good, but her coleslaw (and mine) wasn't goof. Very vinegary and not creamy at all like I'm used to for coleslaw. My brisket, however was horrible. It was more fat than meat and I couldn't eat it it was so fatty. In addition to the coleslaw, the green beans I got was in desperate need of salt. Really disappointed overall. Maybe it was an off day or something, but just wasn't worth it imo. read more

I work for the local newspaper, The Manor Journal. We had to put together an ad for them. Since we have no advertising that we could repurpose, I took it as an opportunity to go over there and take a look around to get inspired. I know this little shack. We drive by it every day. It doesn't look like much, but it is certainly a destination. It is the smells of smoked barbecue that gently waft over Manor. It is a reminder that we live in Texas where smoked meat is a thing. I took pictures of signs and their outdoor seating arrangements as well as their drive-through. Then, I went inside and took a look around. I was met by a small crowd and very busy cooks behind the counter. I took some pictures and finally got to meet the staff. They are very polite, and greeted me with a smile and asked me what I wanted to order. I couldn't make up my mind, but I did ask a lot of questions to get an idea how to position their advertising. So much to choose from. It sounds to me that this is the type of place where you order- pick up and go on a picnic or bring to your home to feed the masses. That was my take away; A picnic table, bench, and a broad selection of meats. You can't beat the prices here either. For the same price of going to McDonald's, you can order A better tasting meal. I prefer supporting our local businesses so that they can remain here and serve the loyal customer base. To be honest, I didn't order anything. But I did see the range of food that they do serve and they do very well for the selections. The food here sounds to be very consistent. I plan on coming back and having a sit down with Gary who is the owner there. He's a pretty neat guy from what I hear. read more

Come for lunch when the BBQ is freshest. The meats fall off the bones. Don't let the shed ambiance scare you away. The service was soooo helpful. I came in near closing on a rainy night and they took extra time to make me a perfect plate. I even ordered an extra brisket sandwich to go which they took the time to trim the fat off if you desired. The meats definitely carried a strong unmistakable Smokey taste. The sauce was very peppery so you might want to sample that first before fully committing. read more

Happened upon this BBQ spot when I googled for food near me Manor. While standing in a short line to order, I saw plates of BBQ going by. The generous portions of meat and sides that looked great! I wasn't too hungry so I ordered the Sliced Brisket Sandwich. It was stacked with lean smoked beef. The brisket was slightly dry but the homemade sauce made up for it. I will try a plate next time read more

If you find yourself in Manor, this is probably the best barbecue around. It is also probably the most rustic establishment as well. This establishment looks like a cobbled together shanty with a smoker out back. Once inside you'll notice the interior is much like the exterior. There are six tables to sit at in the small room where the walls are covered in old license plates. I guess you might say this rustic look only adds to the charm of the place, the locals seem to think so. They do have a gravel drive up window, which is what most people use. Barbecue is not the only thing they serve here. There is also fried chicken and catfish along with some daily specials. I do like the fact they offer a three meat combo plate instead of everything being à la cart. The brisket has a pronounced smoke ring, and they serve Meyers sausage which is tender and juicy. They also serve baby back ribs. The pinto beans and slaw are pretty average, but the green beans and corn are out of a can. I also recommend the fried chicken plate, it's something they actually do quite well. All the food here is surprisingly affordable considering what barbecue goes for these days. Be sure to get some of their barbecue sauce to go, it's some of the best around. And lastly, there's no tip screen, but there is a tip jar. The photos featured here will bring it into proper perspective. read more

Texas Traditional Bar-B-Q - Dry terrible food. - Barbeque Near Me - Manor, Texas

This BBQ was super affordable and there were plenty of choices for meats and sides and desserts. Let's start with the meat. Our party of two ordered 4 pork ribs, 1/2lb of brisket and 2 sausages. Let's go from worst to first. The sausage was dry and had zero flavor. We do not recommend. The ribs were decent, although also a bit dry. The brisket was also dry, but decent enough. good. The dryness can often be solved for with sauce, but the BBQ sauce here is seriously bad. If that's an in house recipe, they should go buy sauce commercially. The sides we ordered were mac and cheese, potato salad, and coleslaw. The mac was pretty good. They pepper it up here. Not an issue for us, but if you're not down for it, then avoid that side. The cole slaw was in need of more mayo. It's a theme here - the food is dry. The potato salad was solid. Let's get to the service. Nice guys manning the place and they were super welcoming. The vibe is roadhouse shack. We dig that sort of thing, so it was a plus for us. Price was incredibly inexpensive. For all that food, it was $39 and we left a tip. Bottom line for us is if this BBQ joint were in most any other state, most would dig it. But, we're in Texas, y'all. Gotta up your game. read more

Please please bring back the beef ribs you used to have. I used to call them dinosaur ribs and was okay with getting just 1. My order today was 2 small riblets that were dry and flavorless. The Turkey plate was also dry and bland. Been coming for years and was very disappointed especially because I brought a newcomer with me. read more

My boyfriend and I were on the way to Houston when we saw this little hole in the way bbq joint and decided to check it out. We ordered the today's special which was sausage + brisket plate with your choice of two sides and a fountain drink! I chose the potato salad and kernel corn. I noticed as I got my plate how juicy the brisket and sausage looked and I was right! The brisket was very moist and their tangy bbq sauce was the cherry on top! The sausage was very flavorful. No complaints on the potato salad but the kernel corn tasted like something out of a can. The place itself needs to help, seems like this place needs a foundation lift. The floors were sloping down in the center of the room; this place would use some remodeling! But overall, the food is great and the price is right! read more

My in laws brought some over tonight. The brisket and sausage were really good. The mac n cheese was good too. The beans were fine, I like a more ham hock flavor. The potato salad is good, kind of on the sweet side. My family said that the staff were all very nice. Good place to keep in mind! read more

Had brisket plate with cole slaw and potato salad. I arrived just before closing at 8pm. Brisket was 4/5 bc it was a bit more fatty than I like. Taste and texture were awesome. Cole slaw 4/5 as I like mine with a little more vinegar taste. Light on Mayo which was fine by me. Potato salad 5/5...best potato salad I've ever had (I'm 46). BBQ sauce 1/5...no taste or kick at all and seemed watery so bring your own! read more

Traditional and Manor heritage BBQ! Every bit as good as any where you can travel to, but saves so much time and commuting.

We've lived in Manor for a couple years now and have always wondered about this place. I finally decided to give it a try this evening and ordered a chopped beef sandwich and a brisket/sausage plate with potato salad and coleslaw. I actually ordered beans too, but never got them. First off, their portions are HUGE! Everything tasted okay, except the sauce. It was absolutely awful! It was like watered down ketchup with a bit of pepper and vinegar in it. The sausage was juicy and the brisket was slightly dry, but had a good smoky flavor. The potato salad reminded me of deviled eggs (in a good way) and the coleslaw was standard and vinegar based. The server at the window was super friendly and gave my dog a treat, which was appreciated! It definitely isn't the best bbq I've had, but their prices and portions make up for it. I'd have it again. read more

This is NOT traditional BBQ lol. I was afraid to even sit down, it's dank and has the appearance of being dirty. It's not good. I threw most of it away. read more

Super tender brisket, great flavor and plenty of it. Not a fancy place but the food makes the grade.

I liked the Brisket. I'd go again for the Brisket and try the sausage. They had no ribs when I went. Oh well.

I would give them 5 stars but they are priced a little more even though it is mostly a drive through with a few places to sit and eat on site. The people are nice, the food is really good! Keep local businesses going visit often! read more

Oh my gosh what a GREAT SURPRISE!! The sandwiches at this place were AMAZING, we got 4 for 3 people, so big they fed 2 of us the next meal too! Tastiest brisket EVER!
