Sides included, smoked corn, smoked mac and cheese, and horseradish-forward cole slaw. We liked all of it very much... with one exception, and it may not be typical. My "The Pretzle is the Goat" burger was not seasoned. I think they just forgot to hit the patty with salt and pepper, so all I tasted was the sweetness of the locally-baked (Tough Cookie) pretzle bun (which was not coated with salt like a pretzle but was still fresh and tasty), the sweetness of the carmelized onions and the sweetness ofv the goat cheese. So it wasn't very savory. Still... I expect that's not the norm for them and everyone else said at our table great things about their burgers. The menu varies a bit, depending on the day, but there are always great options here, until they start running out of things, like any good BBQ place, so get there early!

Also you should know that parking area is small so do as I did and ask a neighbor if you can park in front of their house don't block mailboxes or driveway. As you enter inside you will notice that the place is small inside so place your order then find a place to sit. Lots of picnic tables outside. You walk inside are greeted by nice people smiling and ready to take your order. You place your order pay and when food tray is ready they call your name out. On the Friday we went they had FREE BEER. Eat and enjoy the delicious food made by hard working people. Husband and I got a tray with brisket, sausage, pork ribs, turkey and burnt ends along with a small potato salad, bread and all the fixings. I must tell you that EVERY THING was delicious with the brisket being the star of the meal. The family that owns and runs this BBQ restaurant are lovely people and you can feel the love in the food that they make. Go and enjoy

My family enjoys hunting for great Texas BBQ. We have completed the 2017 and 2021 TX Monthly Top 50…read moreBBQ list. We started the 2025 list and we are more than half-way through the list as of August 2026. On our recent weekend trip to Austin, TX, my wife and I stopped at Bubby's BBQ in Smithville based on recommendations from the BBQ enthusiasts community. Though Bubby's isn't on the current TXM Top 50 list, my spidey sense tells me they are a good candidate for the next release. We always order the brisket, ribs, and sausage. But we were really looking forward to the Texas Twinkies. Unfortunately, we arrived a little after 12:30pm and the lunch rush had already sold out of the twinkies, regular sausage, and a few of the sides. Kailee and Jay were so gracious hearing it was our first trip. We ordered a half pound of brisket, jalapeno sausage, habanero honey ribs and decided to have the tater salad. We got all of that and Jay set us up with a sampling of the burnt ends, turkey, pulled pork, and triple mac too! The brisket was out of this world good- great bark, nice smoke ring, well seasoned, very moist. It must of been a perfect day for low and slow BBQ because the brisket had the perfect level of sweet oak smoke. I am not exaggerating! The spare ribs were equally excellent - smokey sweet and moist, tender. The jalapeno cheese sausage was deliciously juicy with a nice snap to the casing. Honestly, we couldn't stop eating - it was all so good. The sleeper surprise was the turkey which has to be the best we've had in a very long time - moist, tender, and simply seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic. Pro-tip, if you are having the pulled pork don't skip the "sweet-heat" bbq sauce. The restaurant is quaint, warm, and inviting. We anticipated a line when we arrived but there were only a few people in front of us. Next time we'll plan to get there earlier because they sell out fast. Indoor seating is limited to two long, family style tables which seats about 16 people per table. Lots of outdoor picnic tables. Jay and Kailee Johnson were fun and patient with us and appreciated sharing stories and answering our questions. Halston aka "Bubby" (Jay and Kailee's son) also checked on us to see if we liked the food. Parking was easy with a few spots in front of the restaurant and plenty of street parking nearby. Hat's off to Bubby's BBQ. We love supporting small businesses and wish more had their sense of hospitality. We think they are in the running for a spot on the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joints in the near future. We can't wait to go back and try the Texas Twinkies.

It came with corn, potatoes, and mild cajun seasoning in a lot of butter (they had 3 or so other seasoning options such as spicy). When I opened the styrofoam container I could immediately smell that strong distinct seafood boil/bay seasoning--a good thing. The shrimp were medium. Didn't count them, but at least 8. The chunks of sausage were large, fatty. Lots of butter and seasoning to go with the boiled potatoes. The food truck plaza has covered dining (picnic benches), clean concrete floors, and a nice, clean outdoor restroom with hands-free sink (soap, hands-free dryer).

We were originally planning on a different place, but I recently found out that this spot opened up in Bastrop. The place is smaller and a bit less fancy than the Brazilian steakhouses in Austin, but the food is just as good. I'd even argue that some of it were even better. I'm a huge fan of the parmesan pork, even though most people find it too dry, and it was better here than at any other place I've tried. The salad bar was smaller than what I'm used to, but the selection was great. Everything that I tried was delicious, and the others in my group who tried other things were very pleased, too. Everyone in our party had their own personal favorite. My four-year-old granddaughter couldn't get enough of the sausage, which was quite good. The service was outstanding, which I've found to be typical of these types of restaurants. The service staff (and I'm assuming the managers) were on top of everything, keeping our drinks filled and frequently asking if we needed anything else, but managed to also be unobtrusive at the same time Towards the end of the meal, they began asking if there was any particular cuts that anyone wanted, and they filled our last requests. I'll admit that I had more Caipirinhas than I should have, which likely made my experience even more enjoyable, but we all had a great time. We all enjoyed the experience very much, and while it was indeed pricy, it was still considerably less expensive than I would have paid in Austin. I'm super-happy that this is an option in Bastrop. I'll absolutely be visiting again, and I really hope that it does well enough to be a permanent fixture.

One big salad bar table initially struck me as "too small," when compared to larger Brazilian steakhouses we've visited. But I was wrong!! It was packed full of small bites and breakfast favorites -- and as we sat, more bowls and dishes kept getting added or refilled. All was fresh and delicious! The meats were delightful, especially the picanha (beef or lamb--both were yummy!). And the Brazilian lemonade served at brunch was so luxurious!! Don't miss the churros for dessert!! They're stuffed (as were we, but I never turn down a churro!). Hubby wants to buy those for take-out! Best of all, was the service. This is a small venue, so attentive service is pretty much guaranteed, but they do it so well! If you want it, they bring it! Chimichurri, more sides, more drinks, special doneness on your meat. Quickly, and with the most gracious smile! Haven't seen the fellow with the meat you want? Ask!! He'll show up at your table in a blink!
