BBQ on the Brazos

Great food little bit of attitude behind the counter.

I was a little disappointed, but it was marginally better than most bbq in the area. I tried the brisket and ribs, and they were clearly reheated from the day before. Still good, but a little offputting to pay $17 for yesterday's leftovers and mediocre sides. I'd hoped to try a little more, but they only sell 1/2 pound minimums, so it's not easy to try more than a couple things. Overall, not bad but not great. Doubt I'll go back to see if it's any better on the days they do cook.

This place by far has the best BBQ around. The meat is flavorful, tender and NOT greasy. If you are REALLY hungry, try the Shanghi, it has LOTS of food with amazing flavor. The sides are not wonderful but, who goes to a BBQ looking for vegetables. Give it a try, you will be glad you did.

Good brisket and sausage was so so. After driving more than an hour to try their BBQ it would be nice to try a little of everything. They only sell by the half pound (most sell by the quarter pound) and you must buy ribs by the half rack (most sell ribs simply by weight allowing you to buy individual ribs).

By far the best around, John knows what he's doing and takes his BBQ serious. Don't waste your time with anything else. I've been eating here for years and am impressed every time.
