    Quickly served and before I got to the register my food was ready. You order at the counter and pay at the end. Your food comes out on a metal tray. I ordered a half pound of brisket and a drink. Total was $16. The brisket had a definite smoky flavor and a good smoke ring. My plate had limited fatty stuff that most people don't eat so serving size was bigger for a half pound than other bar b q places I have eaten. Very tender and flavorful. Sauce at each table was good without being overwhelming sweet. I liked it. Music in the back ground was nice and at an appropriate volume. I know bar b q prices have increased a lot with inflation but I think this was a pretty good deal for the amount of brisket I ate. I would eat here again.

    The ribs and brisket had REALLY solid smoke taste and both were tender. The Mac & cheese had great flavor and consistency. The workers there were really nice as well. Great little find.

    If it's your first time here, you'll notice parking upfront is very limited, but they do have a decent sized lot in the back. This is a pretty small establishment with just over a dozen tables inside this wooden shack like structure. We came in through the back door and were greeted by the friendly folks behind the counter. I got the three meat plate and my wife had the brisket plate. Their sides are pretty typical of what you find at most barbecue places, good, just not memorable. They do not serve baby back ribs, so I went with their St Louis style. I have to give them credit for good moist brisket with a very noticeable smoke ring. However, my wife trimmed away a third of her brisket plate, which was just fat. The jalapeño sausage is very cheesy and it does have some heat which I liked. The ribs also had a great smoke ring and were moist enough where the meat mostly fell off the bone. They do give you a bottle of barbecue sauce if you need it, and it is pretty good, but not really necessary. I have to admit the barbecue here is pretty good and it seems to be a fairly popular place. Although, there was no line when we got here noon on a Friday and the place was less than half full the entire time. They do have soft drinks and tea, but they do not serve any alcoholic beverages. When you run your credit card that tip screen will be waiting or you can use the cash tip jar. We got the five dollar banana pudding, which was good, but a little too sweet and soupy. If you don't wanna dine in, they do have a drive up window. Plenty of pictures below to fill in the details.

    They're not kidding about that sign - the hot water in the restroom is H-O-T!!! You could make instant coffee with this!

    TLDR: Definitely the best BBQ in Hill Country proper, so it's definitely worth a visit! Finally stopped in after passing this place on trips between Llano and Fredericksburg. Tried the brisket, pork spare ribs, and the creamed corn. Brisket's not bad, stick with the moist (fatty) over the lean. Pork ribs were flat-out excellent, and OMG the creamed corn is the best I've had, period. There's a bit of Cajun spicing that gives it a welcome touch of heat at the end, be sure to get it as one of your sides. Location was clean, parking easy, and the staff were super friendly and happy to serve. Highly recommended, BBQ is on a par with anything closer to Austin. This place scores a 5 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

    Yummy!

    Their bbq sandwich and sausage were delicious. The bbq sauce was really good. Definitely will go there again when I'm in town.

    I saw the spot is dog friendly. Is there a patio for dogs?

    Yes ma'am. People bring their fur babies often. Have been for years.

My husband shared his turkey slices with me and I had brisket, sausage and macaroni and cheese. Beans come with every meal, without even asking! They have free bread out for people to grab. Delicious Rye and French bread. Tastes freshly baked. Highly recommend and will go back.

    I moved to this area a few years ago and noticed there was another BBQ place here but from the…read morelooks of it, we could never tell if it was still in operation. But before we could try... they closed permanently. But, shortly after, we read Inman's was going to take it over and within months they transformed a run down shack into a really sharp looking restaurant. I never found out when they were going to open, but it wasn't hard to figure after driving by one day and seeing the parking lot full. And when a place has such a full lot after only being open for a few days... it's something you know you have to check out for yourself! It's small, but really just the right size. When you walk in, they have a large menu above the counter and it's pretty straightforward. We tried a chopped turkey sandwich and a chopped brisket sandwich with a half pound of pork ribs, mac 'n cheese and cole slaw. The indoor dining is very nice and comfortable. It didn't take very long for us to get our order; they have bread, pickles, beans and sauce you can help yourself to. The turkey was okay but it seemed a little dry or overcooked. The brisket is good, but the sandwich is just a little plain. Maybe the brisket is better when you order it sliced. The pork ribs were very interesting. The meat does come right off the rib and for a few of the pieces, it was mostly meat and no bone at all. On the other hand, some of the bones had very little meat on them. The meat was cooked to the point it's almost like jerky. Not in a bad way... the pork ribs are pretty good and just very different from anything I've ever had. Nice spices rubbed into the ribs. The BBQ sauce is pretty watery and not very special. It has some flavor but no punch or spice. The cole slaw is pretty average. I think it needs more vinegar and mayo. But the white cheddar mac 'n cheese is epic! This is not a store bought mac 'n cheese and if you come here, don't miss out! They have pies which we didn't try but I'm sure on our next visit. The BBQ here is good and the people who work here are very nice.
