SMOKEHOUSE BBQ — Restaurant in Alpine

Horrible customer service. They do not take credit cards. They told me there was was an ATM next door store in the gas station. I told them I would be right back. The ATM was out of service so I had to drive around town to find another ATM. Returned in about 10 minutes to find the staff closing up a half hour before the restaurant was scheduled to close. Said he couldn't cut anything because he already put away the cutting boards, but offered to sell a pound of uncut brisket to take back to my hotel room and "pick at." I could not believe it. This guy was refusing to cut up the brisket and make me a sandwich because he was too lazy to unpack the cutting boards he had already put away! Horrible customer service. There are plenty of good barbecue places in town and near by in Marfa and Marathon that will be happy to make me a sandwich and they take credit cards. ...

Well I really wanna like this place so I will start with the positive. The baked potato was amazing, The jalapeño sausage is very tasty, the Brisket just seemed normal nothing great but good. The Not so positive, potato salad was pretty bad and I really like mustard based tatter salad, the Coleslaw was very dry and no taste at all. Also they were all out of all the other side menu items. but what bothered me the most was the incompetence of Randy, Although being very friendly he just does not listen at all. I asked for sausage links NOT Sliced so I could make sausage wraps. I told him multiple times NOT to slice the sausage. well as you can see from photos he did not listen at all. we were the only customers in entire place as well. to many other food options in Alpine to try than this place...

Just had lunch here and the barbeque was great and staff very friendly! I got half a rack of ribs (taking two with me) that were very flavorful and tender enough to be falling off the bone. My side of potato salad was good and not sweet which is the way I like it. My husband had brisket and jalapeno sausage. He likes his brisket a little juicier though it was good and the sausage was yummy and did have some spice to it. He said his sides of Mac& cheese and pinto beans were very good. We'll be back when passing...
