Holy Smoke Texas Style BBQ

Having lived in Texas for four years, I know what good barbecue tastes like, and this place is close. Pork, Tri-Tip, and salad were all great. Brisket was overdone and sliced too thickly. Brisket is hard to do right- maybe it was just bad timing. The interior of the restaurant is very authentic and I'd go back again!

If your running through Bishop, ya need to stop here for some great BBQ. Prices about average. Great pulled pork and brisket southern style. Great sides as well. Can sit inside or out in the patio. Staff is very helpful and friendly. right next to Carl's jr and across the street from Schat's bakery .

After going for a hike and visiting the train museum we decided to stop here to get some barbecue. The meat was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The bread on the sandwich was fresh and soft. The cornbread was one of the best cornbreads I have ever had. There really is no complaints about this place.

We stopped here on the way back from Mammoth instead of getting take out from McDonald's or something. Timing was perfect because it was just a few minutes before 11 when they opened (it was a Wednesday). I got the Spud Bud and, based on my choice of mac n cheese and potato salad, the server recommended the brisket. So, big baked potato stuffed with brisket and mac n cheese. To make eating this in the car easier, I opened it up in the restaurant and cut it up into easy chunks before we left, hence the photos. It smelled and looked amazing. And it was... SO GOOD!! Our group also got the cornbread, pulled pork sandwich, and the pigs in a blanket sausage sandwich with baked beans. Everyone loved their meals and we will definitely be back! Had tried other BBQ in the area that was super hyped up but enjoyed this a lot more. Definitely recommend! Bonus points for super clean bathroom, and for our to-go package being wonderfully packed up including plenty of napkins, extra sauce and the exact amount of cutlery needed (no more). Plus, I felt the prices were reasonable considering the portion sizes and effort involved. Thank you Holy Smoke! Edited post original review: Steve, Gentry says hi! :)

Was told the food is good here, unfortunately I stopped by at the end of the day during a festival weekend so they were out of chicken, ribs, tri tip, potatoes and something else I can't remember. Looked good, staff were great, despite it being a crazy day they were nice. I wanted to get the 3 item combo but they only had 1 item I wanted. I will be stopping by next time I go by. Restrooms are nice, told the sauce is good. Decent parking, easy to find, right on the 395. Parking, entrance, counter and seating are accessible.
