Some of the best Texas bbq I've had - with the nicest people. Larry and Marlene were so kind & accommodating to our group while we were in Llano for the solar eclipse. They let us picnic in the side grassy area where we were able to catch the entire eclipse eating some awesome bbq. Thank you again to them for the hospitality and great food.

Wonderful people who make the best chopped bbq sandwich in the world. Melt in your mouth smokey deliciousness. Sides of potato salad and cole slaw were also delicious. Perfect pit stop on a long days drive. Wish we lived closer, but will now think about swinging by whenever we’re even remotely close. No pictures of food because after the first bite it disappeared quickly. But I did take a picture of the outside.

Brisket and chicken were on point! Potato salad had just the right amount of pickles to pop. Kids were fully engaged and on board with compliments to pitmaster Larry!

My husband and I stopped here on the way back home to Dallas. The gentleman who greeted us was such a kind man. As for the food, the brisket was delicious, and we loved the pickles too. My husband also enjoyed the ribs. We’d recommend.

I am very picky when it comes to bbq. I heard a lot about this place and have since stopped a few times to give it a chance. I'm not impressed at all. Everyone has their own opinions.

BEST BRISKET IN TEXAS! This was my first visit and I know Tumlinson's will become a regular on my hill country road trips. Their soft tacos are magnificent too!

Driving from Austin back to San Diego and we hadn't had BBQ yet. Girlfriend found this spot on maps and we thought we'd give it a go.Brisket: incredibly moist. We normally hit up Franklins, but this place was definitely as tender. Great flavor as well. Not overly salty. Bark was well set.Ribs: I thought the ribs were great. Very tender. The seasoning wasn't overpowering, very complimentary to the pork. Tasted great with the BBQ sauce.Sausage: probably my least favorite. Nothing wowed me. Good flavor, just nothing to write home about.Coleslaw: girlfriend was indifferent with the coleslawPotato salad: good!Service: we came in just after 1130. Two people ahead of us in line. Took about 20 minutes for us to order. By the time we finished, there were 10 people in line and we laughed that it would be like an hour and half wait for the person in the back. Incredibly kind people, but a little slow.Parking: Just an open little dirt lot. Not hard to park
