As a Texan
I'm going to review each item individually because I feel like that's the only fair thing to do here:
Texas Double Decker: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The carolina pulled pork and brisket were both amazing! The meat was cooked to perfection, and exactly how it should be.
Brisket Sandwich on Texas toast: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (not pictured) The bread was amazing, the meat was juicy and warm, despite getting it as take out! The barbecue sauce, my husband got for me was phenomenal and only made it better!
COWBOY BURGER: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So the Cowboy Burger's beef patty was decently flavored but was over done. While I did ask for it to be well done I do think it is possible to make a burger safe to eat without being dry. The bacon was literally perfect. The rest of the burger; ham, cheddar, lettuce were perfectly adequate.
Hush Puppies: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️crunchy on the outside, moist and chewy on the inside, everything a hush puppy should be! My husband and I ended up fighting over them!
Texas Tater Skins: NEGATIVE 1000 stars!!!! These were both disgusting and an insult to everyone from Texas. For those wondering what "Texas tater skins" are (because there's no description) essentially a half of a baked potato covered in non-Texas chili, cheese, bacon bits and more. … my biggest complaint with these is that they had the audacity to name them Texas tater skins while covering them with aggressively anti-Texas chili. Everyone knows that Texans do not like beans on their chili! Not only were there beans in this chili, but it was more bean than chili! In Texas we have a saying "If you know beans about chili, you know chili ain't got no beans." In Texas, "chili" is shorthand for chile con carne, which translates to "chile peppers with meat." and it is an insult to us to put beans in our chili. Change the name or change the dish! Sincerely, I freaking...
Read moreThis is a really chill mom and pop place. Everyone was super nice and the food was pretty good. We had the hush puppies, ribs, and steak. We had an issue with our order and let the food delivery chick know just so she could sort it out in the back, but she ended up comping the entire plate. Totally unnecessary and she didn't have to at all, she volunteered and was adamant about doing something to make it right. Our waitress was really sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. The ribs were some of the better ones we've had this far north and the steak was alright but nothing to write home about. The mac and cheese was alright to me but had a hint of mustard or something to it, so it didn't taste like classic mac and cheese and my husband wasn't a huge fan so if youre picky there, consider a different side. Id get the ribs again but hubs is interested in trying a different plate. The hush puppies are really good, if they got a like honey butter going with them they'd be amazing. Overall a good experience and pretty good food, we'd come back (just sans the kid, who is pretty much made of mac and cheese and wouldn't be thrilled over the taste change up). We had 2 cleanliness issues that were immediately corrected but were avoidable with a little attention, we'd give them another chance for...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of dining at a local BBQ spot in Clinton, MD called "Texas Ribs & BBQ". This BBQ spot can be found off of Old Branch Ave. They serve your standard BBQ items such as collard greens, corn on the cob, pulled pork, ribs etc. Unfortunately the collard greens were out when I went.
I tried two appetizers onion rings and loaded potato skins. The onion rings were decent and the potato skins were loaded with bacon bit, chilli and cheese which tasted GREAT.
My main meal was a sliced brisket sandwich with sides of potato salad and corn on the cob. The Brisket sandwich had decent flavor with a good smoke ring ;however, the meat was dry and not juicy. The potato salad was on the bland side as it needed more seasoning to have a more southern authentic taste. The corn on the cob was spot on and tasted fabulous with a little butter. A worthy mention was the two homemade BBQ sauces which had one spicy and the other one more sweet. I would definitely come back here for BBQ as the place had good service, decent food and it was very clean. I rate this...
