The brisket is decent but it is WAY OVER PRICED!!! The sandwich is about $6 and can be eaten in 2-3 bites. Don't waste your money, just go down the road to J&M. more

This is the place to go if, and only if, you really like smoked brisket. It is outstanding. Flavorful and tender, it melts in your mouth and it's much better than what I got at a local pretentious steakhouse. It's close to the best brisket I have ever had, and it holds its own-which is a good thing, because I... more

When I was a kid my dad owned a jewelry story in downtown Lubbock, Kennedy Jewelers. He used to send me over to Tom's Hickory pit a couple... more

This was my dad's favorite bbq shack. This is my favorite bbq shack. And it will be my sons' favorite...and their children's...and so forth and so on. Sitting here in NYC, I can taste the brisket sandwich. ----! more
