B-Daddys BBQ on Main — Restaurant in Bandera

HOLD .... THE .... PHONE!!!!! This place is too good to be true !!! I came in and could smell what I know to be that beautiful flavorful white smoke that makes this meat magic! Greeted by Tyler the king of smoke and his gang of immortals. I ordered the Big Daddy , chicken plate with jalapeno creamed corn and Mac and cheese. To my surprise , I got to try a sample of everything as you can see in the pictures. I was throwing my head back and closing my eyes upon the first majestic bite with meat from the perfect charred flavor of the Texas toast, buttery , complimenting the succulent and juicy smoke filled meat with perfect color and consistency in the big daddy !!!! My mouth watered as I was eating 😳. I conversated and was taking my time so the chicken had time to cool and even cool as you can see it was dripping juice tender , silde off the bone with no coaxing at all !!! The Mac and cheese was perfect in every way not too cheesy not too soft or firm just on point !!! The jalapeno creamed corn ..... Muh lawd the creamed corn , was by far the best I've ever had , it even beats my own ! The cream was the nectar straight from the heavens . I would put this creamed corn up against any other person's. Not one single thing was short of stupendous and down right amazing. Your kids wouldn't heaitate to debmvour these green beans and the birracho beans.... well , not to be dramatic but I would die for these beans !!!!! I would almost even say it was orgasmic. I will be back to do the whole menu but for the love of God, please do yourself a favor and come check these guys out , it's not just nourishing, it's not just quality taste , it is a whole soul moving experience!!!!!! When you desire food that brings feelings and happiness .... Well you found it here !!!! Take a bow you beautiful kings , because the service was top tier as well , I left feeling like a new member of the family and that's worth more than money!!! Until my travels bring me back don't change a thing Big Daddy's, you are absolutely incredible !!!!!!

Update from 10/1 to 10/25

Tyler and the immortals have not let one ounce of perfection slip !!! If your mouth doesn't absolutely water at the vids , then you have broken taste buds and desires in the que world!!!! The only problem is I don't know what to do with this bump in the front of pants now 🤷. 😆😆😆 I kid , I kid, but seriously this is one of the best you will have . Id put my own...

When we walked in we felt so welcomed! The guys seemed happy to be there and happy we were there. I love a friendly, welcoming place! I was happy about the choices on the menu, they had banana pudding that was whipped yumminess 😋. My friend loved their beans but it was a bit too spicy for me. Texas has a different way of doing beans at a bbq place, I’m used to getting normal baked beans (not pinto beans). What i like is they didn’t call their beans “baked beans” they called it what it was. I got the brisket plate, the 2 sides that come with it are in a smaller cup. I also ordered 2 additional small sides which are in a bigger cup. The traditional coleslaw was good, it had a different taste from anywhere I’ve eaten but i can’t explain it yet it still tasted like traditional slaw. Mac and cheese was like a velveta, i prefer having actual cheese melting. The creamed corn was very good, whole corn kernels in this thick yummy sauce and i ate all of it first thing because it was so good. Brisket had flavor but it was dry and fell apart too easy, i had to use a spoon and help from my fingers to drag it through the sauce and scoop it up. The price was fair for what i ordered and the quality of the food. I recommend to try...

We were delighted to hear that the new BBQ place was good. We heard the last one wasn't very good.

There are only two of us, so we only tried the turkey and sliced brisket. Both were excellent, especially the turkey. They have the most amazing cheddar and jalapeno bread if you choose to have a sandwich. The pickles, onion and jalapenos are delicious. Very nice. The salt and pepper are local as well.

The cookies were amazing as well. I was surprised that they were peanut butter... didn't ask if there was a choice.

My only complaint, and it isn't a true complaint is that I did not notice any craft beer. Yes, Lone Star and Shiner, but nothing really local. I also only noticed one sauce. Not that it matters, but I sort of expected others. Oh, if I had one disappointment it was the simplicity of the potato salad. It was good, but rather bland. Luckily we had onions and jalapenos and pickles, but I would have liked for the potato salad to have more complexity, something more than skin on potato with relatively no spice.

We will definitely go back. I just may not order potato salad and stick with the delicious coleslaw. I did love the green beans...so...
