Great BBQ, get there right when they open. Take-away, not dine onsite. I am a BBQ addict. I have driven multiple hours, to wait in line multiple hours, for a plate of BBQ, just to drive right back. I have eaten at most of Texas Monthly's top 50, and have been making pilgrimages to BBQ spots all over Texas since around 2010. The crust and ring on the brisket was excellent. A generous rub that lets the tender beef flavor still take center stage. The sauce cooked down on the ribs was something special. A hint of sweet that complements the smokey. Any BBQ aficionado will tell you to show up right when a place opens to get the best product. There can be a narrow window when the food is safe for consumption and at the perfect texture. Even though I showed up two hours after opening, the brisket and ribs were both still 90% tender and juicy. That tells me right at opening it will be even better. There are some techniques for the hold, like full emersion in liquified beef tallow, that might help trap that last little bit of moisture, but everything comes with trade-offs. I'm in the area so I'll be coming back. My complements to the pit master. Cheers.
This place by far is the best barbecue I have had in a long time. Not to mention the green beans are amazing the macaroni cheese delicious and they’re Twinkies, which is HUGE jalapeños wrapped in bacon stuffed with cream cheese and brisket SMOKED on the pit is to die for. Lastly, the owners/staff are extremely nice and accommodating. West has been blessed with good people and incredible food. Worth every stop and every penny.
AMAZING Place + amazing people! The brisket bbq quesadillas were 20/10. Also the Texas twinkies !! The best quesadillas I’ve had near Waco, definitely a place to try!!
Top quality BBQ. It’s not fancy, buts legit. Got the 2 meat plate, Brisket and Sausage. 2 sides, Green beans and baked beans. The price is great for the amount of food you get, and the food is awesome. I wanted to ask for a tub of the baked beans to take home. If you have the chance just go. Staff was great, food was awesome. Very satisfied.
Holy Moly!! Fall off the bone ribs and melt in your mouth brisket!!!! So dang good!!!
The best bbq and sides I’ve had. The street taco on corn tortillas were very good and gluten friendly.
Was looking for a stop on the drive up to Dallas and found this independent bbq place right off the highway. Its mexican and texas bbq food. The interior has about 6 tables to sit at. We tried the brisket, jalapeno sausage, potato salad, beans, texas twinkie and brisket taco. Very kindly the owner gave us a carne asada to try too. Our favourites were the Texas twinkie, potato salad and the carne asada taco. Super good price for the amount of food. My very hungry husband couldn't finish his plate.
Amazing experience! The customer service was outstanding from start to finish—friendly, fast, and super helpful. The overall experience could not have been better. And the Texas BBQ? Absolutely delicious! Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and easily some of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great BBQ and great service!
