    Outdoor seating area
    Cassie C.

    For months I drove past these big, orange signs on the side of the I-81 that promoted Texas BBQ. Today I finally made my way out there to see what all the fuss was about. Let me tell you, the fuss was not fussin' enough! Hands down some of the best BBQ I've had ever. Pulled pork that melts in your mouth, sausage links that have a crisp snap to them, and chicken wings that put all others to shame. Their spicy BBQ sauce? I need bottles of it at home. And when the weathers perfect, enjoy your meal out on their beautiful patio where you can check out their serious smoker setup to see how it's all made. Have I sold you yet?

    Very large outdoor and indoor seating area. You can also take your barbecue to the adjacent bar with their very friendly bartenders. Got the trinity with baked beans and Mac and cheese. The sides were among the best I've had at a barbecue place. The ribs were my favorite although the fatty brisket is the best I've had outside of Texas. The sausage was really good too. You should give it a try!

    This BBQ joint tucked in a corner off route 11 in Lafayette is unassuming but packs a punch. The meat counter and seating area is on the smaller side but they are doing renovations and expanding. Everything I had was truly delicious and flavorful. The meat was smokey and tender like you'd expect. I thought it was a little pricier than other local spots in comparison but honestly it was still worth it. The workers were nice and working quickly to fill all orders. Keep in mind they often sell out, but they do update their Instagram to notify folks. I went shortly after they opened so I was able to try everything I wanted to.

    Brisket, pulled pork and turkey. Jalapeño cornbread and Mac and cheese

    This place is so worth the trip from all points Syracuse. Friendly people, quick service and the food..... oh my. We've had quite a few different meats but in every order is the smoked turkey. It really is the best thing on the menu. The jalapeño cornbread is like a dessert, another must each time. Beans and Mac/cheese are the other go to. We did a take out of 3 meats, cornbread and m&c. This feeds two of us without leftovers. So, so good

    Brisket,, pork ribs, jalapeño cheese sausage, jalapeño cornbread and beans - delicious!

    Had the brisket, pork ribs, jalapeño and cheese sausage (special), jalapeño corn bread and baked beans. Everything was delicious! Love, love, love the brisket - so well executed - 25 years of experience!

    We had been dying to try this BBQ, new restaurants in this area are hard to come by! It is easy to locate and the staff was incredibly and overwhelmingly friendly. We ordered 3 meat platters with sides so we can try a little of everything. All the food besides the wings came out instantaneously. There are a few tables inside and inside the restaurant was a bit cold. The food was good, meat is falling off the bone and wings are juicy. The baked beans and BBQ sauce is thinner than my usual preference but still tasty. I appreciate the sizable portions of the sides! We ended up taking a lot home for leftovers due to the great portions! We would come back for take out

    2 meat combo | brisket & sausage | mac n cheese & beans

    My husband was out in Lafayette and I knew I had to have him pick up takeout from Brickyard for lunch. He said the place small but very friendly service. I got the two meat combo (brisket & sausage w/mac n cheese & beans), he got 2 meat combo as well (wings & brisket), the kids had chicken tenders and fries (shoestring fries fyi). Everything was seasoned very well and smoked well. I loved the sausage, it was flavorful and the bite from the casing. The brisket was delicious. We both loved the wings, tasted everything before added any of their homemade sauces. Those were great as well good accompaniment. The beans and mac n cheese were good for sides. We'll definitely be back.

    Brisket x2, pork belly burnt ends x1 and mac and cheese x2 Brisket sandwich and potato salad in the further.

    Food wasn't bad, I wouldn't write home about it. The meat wasn't very hot but that could be because I got the end of the brisket. The smokehouse itself was freezing inside so maybe that contributed to the food temperature. Service was good and the people were kind. I'd recommend going into the bar versus the smokehouse.

    I was very disappointed with my meal at The View today. I ordered the open-faced steak sandwich…read moremedium-rare, but the steak came out well-done, tough, chewy, and lacking flavor. The mushrooms were barely cooked, and the sandwich was dry. I even requested au jus in an attempt to salvage it, but unfortunately that didn't help. To make matters worse, my side salad was initially forgotten. To the server's credit, she removed the sandwich from my bill and offered to bring me something else. However, by that point I had lost confidence in the meal and declined. I ultimately ended up eating only the side salad. While the service recovery was appreciated, the food itself was a major disappointment. In the end, the only thing I ate was the side salad, which cost $8 on its own. While I appreciate the server's efforts to make things right, the food quality and execution were far below expectations. I left hungry, disappointed, and unlikely to return.

    We stumbled upon this place, leaving 1911, wanted another drink before heading to our destination…read more The parking was easy and the lot was huge! The inside is very nice and big, we took sat at the bar because we were just having a drink and appetizer. They didn't have a drink menu, which I thought was odd. However, the bartender made us a delicious drink she said her version of Bay Breeze was a Sunset Pines, and we got two for $15. They were amazing!! We just went with the mozzarella sticks for $9 for our munchie and they were good.
