    We love coming here! Worm is so welcoming and chose the perfect staff who are all attentive! Shout out to Pocahontas she is so sweet and such a good boss lady.

    Cute eclectic place

    The service is impeccable! The food is so delicious! We got the rosemary chicken and it was yummy! The "Mac Daddy", Mac 'n cheese is to die for! The BBQ sauce is the best ever! The restaurant is so eclectic and feels like East coast with a Texas twist..the owner is so kind! We will be back for all of it!

    Parking lot. Arrived for a business dinner event.

    My visit was good. There are a couple of caveats to mention. The service was good and the food was good. This visit was w a preselected menu for a Christmas party for work. The steak was great and the mash potato's were very flavorful. The grilled veggies were decent I don't like summer squash. My chicken was cool but I think that was due to the staff having to make a large amount of servings to serve at once. The salad was very fresh and the apple dessert was very different. My friend tried the brownie there was a choice for dessert and liked that. The ice cream was blue bell. A very good first time. I loved all the home touches w decorating and the fact that the bar is on the second floor so it was quiet downstairs for our work party. It was really enjoyable and the staff was very friendly.

    Absolutely the friendliest place we've ever been! Family owned establishment with a LOT of personality. Pure Texas, and definitely a place to bring guests. Omar (co-owner) is a story teller, salesman, and fantastic server. On a later visit, Brandon told us to try the creamy whiskey sauce. OMG, I want to put this sauce on everything. I want to drink this sauce, bathe in it, and maybe even learn to make it. If you order steak or salmon, make sure to ask for the whiskey sauce!

    This was our first time here. We came in during one of the Rangers games. It wasn't busy downstairs but we weren't sure how busy it was upstairs in the bar area. We ordered an order of fried pickles as an appetizer. Those were pretty good but there was a lot of breading crumbs mixed in. Those pieces were hard and difficult to chew. I'll first go into the service before I dig into our main entrees. We ordered our main meals and it took 40 minutes to get our food. By the time we got the food it was all cold. Our drinks were rarely topped off and our server would disappear for way longer than she should have been gone. Then we would occasionally see her in the back BSing with the staff in the kitchen. For our main meal we ordered the Mac Mama and a cheese burger with fries. The burger was dry and barely warm and the fries were stale. The Mac Mama was really delicious but also lukewarm. I will say the flavors were awesome and the menu is good but the service ruined it for us. By the time we got our food it wasn't hot anymore with also ruined the food. Take care of your customers, look out for their food when it's ready, and be diligent in waiting the tables. Atmosphere 3/5 Food (4/5 if hot) 3/5 Service 2/5 Menu options 3/5 Overall 3/5.

    A hidden gem that everyone deserves to know about! In my opinion it is one of the BEST BBQ…read morerestaurants in the McLennan County area. The service is so fast and friendly, they make you feel so welcome and taken care of. I swear each time I go their food gets better and better (or I get more and more obsessed). We usually get the loaded fries, brisket nachos, and brisket sandwich. Portions are huge and you definitely get your moneys worth. They are truly passionate about the food they make and their hard work definitely pays off. The building may not look like much, but it's clean and good enough to sit and enjoy your lunch. Next time you're craving some good quality BBQ, stop in and grab some out of this world lunch!

NOT HERE. This smoked Turkey was JUICY and had a good deep smoke flavor but not overwhelming. And it was piled with turkey. Not just two thin little pieces. It was a mouthful. I couldn't even finish it because I was stuffed. On my to go order I had a half a slab of ribs, smoked Turkey, sliced brisket, potato salad , beans, Mac and cheese, and BANANA PUDDING. The ribs were perfect. Smokey, didn't fall off the bone, but I want to be able to eat my rib without meat coming off in one bite. They were moist and very well seasoned and tender. Of course the turkey was perfect. The sliced brisket was just as good. Not all fatty pieces but lean, moist and just delicious. The mac and cheese was a little dry for my liking. I had to add some milk to it. But everyone has their version of Mac & cheese. I just prefer mine creamier and cheesier. The potato salad was good, as were the beans. Again, my opinion, the beans were a little sweeter than I am used to, but I would get them again. Now, the banana pudding was a MUST. YES, get banana pudding. I was really more impressed with this place than I anticipated I would be. But all of the meat was just so good. I WILL be back

The beef rib was huge. It was well cooked, seasoned well, and without a heavy overpowering smoke taste and smell. The meat was tender and juicy. The pork rib meat was also perfectly cooked, the seasoning was one of the best mix of savory I had in a while. Instead of a special restaurant dinner for anniversary we thought we would eat a couple ribs. The adage @you get what you pay for" holds up well here. But the bill was exurban and this was before the current high price of meat & everything else. My husband said that I would not want to know what he paid which means over $100. I hope they can hang on until their supplies are more affordable. The cost will I am sure be a disadvantage. What we paid would have been or useful in filling my pantry. That being said, it was one of the most enjoyable meals we've brought home. If we could afford it we would definitely be our go-to place. We are looking forward to iur anniversary in a couple months when we won't feel guilty about paying a big price for a meal. I will go for flavor over fancy every time and Helberg fits that shoe.

We finally made it to this one and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is spacious with many picnic tables covered with checkered tablecloths. The ceiling is vaulted adorned with beams. It's a very casual & rustic ambiance. I opted for the brisket sandwich while hubby craved the smoked turkey sandwich. The sides chosen were the creamed corn and potato salad. Our entire order was packed in one of those hefty dishwashing trays. Very clever. Staff were friendly and food came out quickly. We totally savored all the food. The brisket was just as tasty & tender as I remembered and hubby's smoked turkey had his tastebuds singing! Hands down the best creamed corn anywhere and their potato salad was excellent, too. Let's not forget their "sauce!" Everything was so flavorsome. Since we had leftover potato salad & creamed corn, we ordered BBQ sausage to go for dinner at the hotel later that evening. It was delicious, too. We're so happy we came by. Rudy's remains our #1 BBQ destination in Texas.
