    One of the best I've had in Texas so far. Had the Pork Trio plate and the sliced brisket plate with coleslaw cucumber salad baked beans and potato salad... all of it was top taste and quality.

    This review is because of a phone conversation. First call. I was shopping around for Turkey prices and ask how it works. The lady offered the 89.95 deal for whole turkey but i need to make sure we have some for tomorrow. Ok sweet. She said yes and then I asked about ham pricing and if they had it. They did. Cool. I said Id call back. Probably 15 min later I call back ready for business. I ask for the whole Turkey and the new togo server: do you want the thanksgiving dinner and i said well im mostly looking for the whole turkey. What does the thanksgiving dinner include.. Her: the whole turkey and the sides are extra.. Me: ok, if i say thanksgiving dinner with no sides. Ill get a whole turkey. Yes. Great. Ill take that. Then she puts me on hold. Manager comes on the phone without warning, hi i need to check if we have whole turkeys because we allocate them for different events. Me:Ok cool but i called not too long ago and they said yes. Him: I dont know who you talked to but im the manager and determine that. Me: Ok cool (aye aye rude captain). Im on hold again the togo server takes me off hold. "Yeah so you can move the tables but we cannot move them for you" me: im on hold for something else. Her: oh hahahahhahaha yes youre good to go. Me: oh but the manager said he was checking for me. Her: yes youre good. Me : uh can i talk to the manager( the person that gave me attitude for not checking in with him in the first place) uh......*longest pause ever* .. yeah sure. Puts me on hold again. And I hang up. And scene. Dont call this location unless you feel like getting attitude over freaking turkey.

    Starting with the location.. Outside.. they have car ports similar to those of vintage burger joints. They do have an outdoor patio with 'bbq' 'country' vibes but once you go inside.. it looks like a 50's dinner. But fine.. bit weird, but as long as the food is great.. that's all that matters. Well.. the food is not great. Ribs: Stale. No flavor. And they didn't remove the membrane "silver skin" from the ribs, so you're having to try to remove it yourself in order to eat it. HORRIBLE. Brisket: Best word I can use to describe it is 'SOGGY' The meat looked like like it was boiled and rather than serving it in a full slice.. they were squares. Literally a plate of thin sliced soggy brisket.. ZERO FLAVOR. NO CHAR. Like.. are your briskets cooked, frozen and then thrown in a steamer before having to serve them??? Sides: Big Shell Mac & Cheese, Cream Corn, Greens, Potato Salad.. ALL BLAND!!! This is Texas.. BBQ is what we do. It's what we are known for. I'm embarrassed for you. Won't ever recommend this place to anyone.. I'm guessing people who give ya'll 5 stars are people from California who don't know any better.
