Barbeque Restaurants near Columbus

“I always pass by the sign while heading up to Houston on IH-10 and I finally stopped by to enjoy this barbecue. I stopped by at 1:30 in the afternoon on a rainy Wednesday evening and they're only about three patrons in the restaurant and a couple people in the drive-thru. I enjoyed the quick service and the very reasonable prices. I had a two meat plate with brisket and sausage (which I thought were pretty generous portions) and three sides which consisted of mac and cheese, coleslaw, and green beans. I thought the mac and cheese needed a bit of pepper but otherwise it was pretty commensurate with other barbecue joint mac and cheese's. I thoroughly enjoyed the green beans and the coleslaw and I thought both were very tasty and flavorful. I got a free piece of bread but it was just run of the mill white loaf, nothing special. Now onto the meat! I found the brisket to be a little salty in certain areas where I got pieces of bark, but otherwise I found it to be very tender and succulent. I enjoyed seeing the visible smoke ring on every piece of meat and it tasted nicely when dipped into the homemade barbecue sauce. With my one piece of bread, I made a little brisket sandwich by adding some pickles and onions to the mix. I really enjoyed the sausage which I thought was quite excellent and have no complaints about it whatsoever and will order again when I come back. I also ordered a pecan pie, and as the kids say these days "it was mid".According to prior Google review photos, It seemed that there used to be a multitude of taxidermied animal friends on the walls of this restaurant but they must have remodeled as the number of animal heads on the inside has reduced dramatically and is far more tasteful looking (check out some of the prior photos and you'll agree that it was a lot of eyes staring at you when you take a bite out of that pork rib). Other than the heads on the wall, The interior was a bit barebones in terms of decor and you are served on polystyrene plates and plastic utensils so don't expect Ritz-Carlton level service. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and I rank it in the high average compared to other Texas barbecue joints. I would definitely go back again.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat level entry with a pretty smooth parking lot. All tables are chair height.“

“Very solid ‘Q! Unexpected given that the same spot does 2-minute pizzas, etc. in a travel center setting. Guy said he taught himself to smoke meats on the job over the last 6 years. He’s got the brisket dialed-in! (Great cucumber salad too.)“
