Drove over from Rockport to try their BBQ. The Sloppy Chop (a mix of Briskit, Sausage and jalapeno) was quite good. Salad bar was unexpected..not the basic iceberg lettuce. Field greens and darn good! I do not eat French Fries as a rule, but these were real tators, and done a perfect deep brown. Best fries I have had in... more

The food was good until we got back to our beach house. That's when the trouble started. Both my daughter and I got sick. If you go there, be sure to have something for indigestion for later. Also, be sure to check your order. Half of our party's were wrong. more

The servings were small for the price. I did not like the potato salad - way too many onions for me - others may love that aspect. Sliced brisket was merely ok. The baked potatoes were excellent - large with great toppings. The fries looked wonderful (we did not eat them but the table next to us did) as did... more

This is one of the places we visit when we're in Port A; we ate there last Sunday after we unpacked at the condo. I had the ribs-great flavor and very tender. My wife had the sloppy-chop potato (chopped bbq, sausage, onions, jalapenos) and a salad. Son had a chopped sandwich. All very good, except the coleslaw is very bland.... more

Best kept secret....this awesome Eats is worth finding on G Street. in this little red cottage. We loved the St. Louis style ribs, turkey and ham with sides of Texas spiced beans, Cowboy coleslaw and real mashed potatoes with dreamy, creamy gravy. It's easy to stay healthy with the salad bar filled with (high end) mixed greens and fixings. We... more

Unlike many places on the island, this restaurant is not a bit overpriced. This little BBQ joint has a varied menu with one of the freshest and yummiest salad bars around. Yes, at a smokehouse! My pulled pork sandwich was moist and flavorful, and my husband loved his sloppy chop! Little Joe's has fresh cut fries which my kids fought... more

This was our first introduction to Texas Barbeque and we were very impressed. In addition to the large barbeque offerings, they have a large salad bar with a variety of soups. The brisket, smoked turkey and ribs were amazing. Loved their table sauce. The beer is kept in several large nostalgic ice coolers so you can reach in and grab... more
