Highly disappointed and very concerned for public safety. Last year this was my go to place for bbq. After tonight my shadow will never cross their threshold .Tonight , my wife and I had planned to cover dinner for my in laws ( who are the sweetest people) ,we decided on barbecue Shack , we called in a pickup order and away we went. Picked up the food on the way .Every thing was perfect so far. We arrive at her sisters house and ya da ya da ya da we set down to eat this food that I’d been smelling and drooling about for 20 or so minutes . But the meat had a strong taste petroleum like charcoal lighter taste , we couldn’t eat it . This business really owes my wife debt of gratitude because she made me go straight home afterwards instead of stopping by the restaurant. They ought to be ashamed of themselves for selling that stuff to the public.I would encourage all bbq lovers to check it for yourselves but at least you have been warned. Lighter fluid flavored pork should not cost 55 bucks eitherJesse Hannah

The best bar-b-que around! We know Texas bar-b-que and they know how to cook it. Best chicken, ribs and pulled pork you will find. The catfish is the best around town too! This is owned by great people that want to make the best food for you!

The food, the familia (owners) and the hospitality is everything and then some that you’d expect from true South Texas BBQ culture. Come hungry, leave happy!

I was very disappointed that they didn't have any ribtips!!?? But he did let me taste a piece of a rib,it was very tender, tasted like it had some kind of Italian herb or something on it,I really didn't like the seasoning, but maybe if I try it with the bbq sauce on it I might like it!But it was very tender I'm going to give it another try with the sauce on it next time, I'm quite sure that will make a big difference in the taste!!

Excellent BBQ! You gotta try this place if you are in the area! The ribs are out of this world and the beans were amazing. The service made me feel right at home. Homemade cookies to top it off!

Went there tonight as a last minute option after plans got cancelled. Was unsure because the previous owners sauce left much to be desired in my households opinion. While I don't like my BBQ drenched in sauce, I do like a little. When I arrived, I specifically asked if they changed the sauce and pointed out that they stated they were keeping it per a FB post. They kindly explained that they did in fact choose to discontinue the old sauce but always had their own as well. They even let me try it. It was delicious. Sweet, tangy, with just a touch of heat that most people can handle.We ordered a lb of sliced brisket (though they were out after my order and let us know that it was going to be slightly more fatty, which we were okay with). We also ordered a lb of pork and a half rack of ribs. We got the BBQ Beans and potato salad as sides. The meats were phenomenal! The brisket was perfectly done, fat rendered deliciously, smoked to perfection. The bark on it was so tasty! The ribs were to die for! Juicy and fall off the bone but still perfectly smoked! The pulled pork I swear is probably the best I've ever had.The BBQ Beans were thick in sauce, somewhat sweet and had a peppery flavor (think some type of 'green' pepper vs black peppercorn). The Potato salad was definitely my least favorite thing. Might be to others tastes, but was somewhat sweet, had smaller chuncks, and somewhat eggy. (unsure if it had actual eggs in it. Did not dig around to find out.)All in all, the two sides we got were what we liked least, though we are quite curious about the smoked mac 'n cheese. The meat is hands down some of if not the best BBQ we've ever had!On top of all that - the experience there while waiting for our order was wonderful. Everyone was kind, caring, and genuinely wanted their customers to enjoy their food.HIGH FIVE YOU GUYS! Keep it up!! We'll be Back!

The food was excellent, plentiful & reasonably priced. Side dishes are amazing, except the chips. I like thin chips and these are thick but that’s just a preference. The owners came by to assure we liked everything! Which we did. The owners are transplanted local business owners and are very personable and family oriented. Love, love this place!Kid-friendliness: Very family oriented
