We had the 3 meat plate with turkey, brisket and pulled pork. 3 sides - potato salad, cole slaw, and beans. The meat was tender and delicious, but the turkey was a little dry but the sauce made up for that. The sides were delicious. The Cole slaw had small bits of apple and raisins which I could do without but none the less it was great.

This place never disappoints. The food is always good and delicious. The staff is always courteous and polite. This place is way better then Salt Lick. By far.

My wife and I are full time travelers wintering in the LRGV. We drove by here recently and stopped to eat but they had closed early. Luckily we stopped again and got there early on a Thursday, and they were pretty crowded already. We put in our order, and found a table. Food came out pretty quickly. I got the fish 'n shrimp with mac 'n cheese and rice 'n beans. My wife got the brisket plate with mac 'n cheese and sweet potato fries, and we got an order of onion rings to share (we had skipped lunch). Everything was very fresh, hot and delicious. We're glad we stopped back here, and hope we get a chance to eat here again before we leave.
