I am a life time residence of Smithvile and this is some of the best BBQ in the area. But the line is too long. Customer's in line have to wait on only ONE person cutting meat. There needs to be separate line or a "to go" line or pick up window. Customer's dropping by sometime are turned off by... more

Some of the best BBQ in the state. Sausage and Brisket are the best choices. Nice texas style sauce. Get here early as they run out quick. The sides are great too, especially the potato salad. Don't forget the banana pudding for dessert. Never had a bad experience at this restaurant, eating there or taking home. more

Ribs go fast, so call ahead if you want some saved back, but you can't lose on the brisket either. No sweet tea, but the tea is refreshing nonetheless. Sides are avergae, as is the sauce, but good meat requires nothing but tastebuds to complement the crispy exterior and the tender meat inside the ribs at this easy to access... more
