Still lovin it!

by yogieo

I have been coming here for years and it is still the best bbq I have had here. I love the down home enviorment and the fact that this has always been family owned. I have been to a few of the chain bq places and must say the way to make great bbq is not in a cookie cutter fashion. They actually showed me the ovens nce. It;s amazing what goes into making great bbq, because anyone can make 'good' bbq. Try this place for catering too, they have this huge bbq out front that they will bring to yur party or just wrap it up to go. Two thumbs up on this bbq place. BBQ lovers unite!

• Pros: just plain good bbq
• Cons: only one.

Best BBQ in Texas

by mellyp

Wow, daddy whoever must have been having a bad day or isn't a true Texan. Back Country is my all time favorite restaurant. I eat there at least twice a week. They are consistently good, which isn't easy to find around here. They have the best beef brisket and pork ribs I have ever eaten. Their vegetables are all out of this word especially their cole slaw, potato salad, cream spinach and their famous backed potato casserole. If you are in the mood for some down home Texas style bbq you definitely should give them a try, you wont regret it !!!!

You have got to be kidding me

by daddymigs

Worst dining experience I've ever had. The guy behind the counter was overtly rude - and I mean rude. Seemed like he was offended at his lot in life - which is being a fat ,ugly, bald 50 something cutting meat for a twenty something that obviously knows a ton more about bbq than he does. We should have walked out then, but I wanted to try the bbq - big mistake. The brisket had no flavor whatsoever - I guess these people haven't ever heard of rub...It wasn't seasoned AT ALL. Just meat. What? The sausage actually tasted like Alpo (yes, that's dog food) - I'm not sure how they managed that. The sauce tasted like liquid smoke mixed with ketchup and vinegar. The beens tasted like they were straight out of a can, with a cup of brown sugar added. I love bbq, but couldn't stomach this awful food. At least my dogs got a treat out of this debacle.

This is not bbq, people. Real Texas bbq involves a stack of white bread, some cheddar cheese, pickles, onions, and meat that is actually seasoned and smoked on mesquite.

If you want a rude waiter, go to D's Last Resort. If you want bbq, go to literally any other bbq joint in town - trust me, it will be better.

• Pros: none at all - avoid this place like the plague
• Cons: pretty much everything. worst bbq I've ever tasted, and terrible service to boot!
