Ed & Toms Bar-B-Que — Restaurant in Odessa

A good little bbq shack on the Southside of Odessa. I entered upon. The tiny dining room me and my brother on a rainy day. We ordered the two meat plate, Brisket and Ribs, because what else is there! I want to taste the good stuff! It comes out about 10 mins later. Came Out with two sides and meat was already smothered in sauce. Well me personally I'd like to see that on the side because not everyone likes sauce on there Brisket. So I dig right into the ribs! The meat was falling off the bone, tender and good smoke flavor. Could have used a little more seasoning but pretty good. The Brisket was tender, probably a little overcooked cause it all came out chopped, but still good. Not the best Brisket I've ever had, but imagine your Uncle Ed cooking a Brisket in the backyard, well that's exactly how it tasted! It was a good meal! Portion. Was not big but not small, filing enough! The star was the Cornbread!@ fantastic!! I'm gonna give em a 3.5 out of 5 for this good backyard Brisket style bbq!...

Okay, this is a long post so here ya go...Today's culinary adventure!! Ed & Tom's Bar-B-Que for lunch. Big Ed is like that big brother you wished you had. We even met Tom today, she had stopped by in her Sherrif's uniform. So we ordered the All-Star 5 meat plate (all the cuts of meat) and there was so much for both of us, we will be making potato bakers tomorrow. I love the decor, the adult version of coloring on the walls, LOL! There is an array of framed plaques and signs splashed with scripture and love, along with a T.V. with the football game of the hour. Now for the highlight...the meat, it was smoked to perfection, the beans were plump and tasty, the Ed's Mac & Cheese was creamy and smooth. The cornbread was...ooh la la, sweet, melt in your mouth, and buttery! You MUST have the Peach cobbler with the Blue Ribbon ice cream, you will be overjoyed once you have that first bite! So go by and say hello to Big Ed tell him Lyzz sent ya!! Peace...

Gonna be honest, I wasn’t impressed at all. I have a platform with 100,000 followers and I try different foods in different places and do reviews. I got a three meat plate with a sweet tea and it rang me about $29 which was fine but when I tell you, I had three little slices of brisket the sausage I don’t know what it was, but it was not good at all. the rib was OK didn’t have much smoke flavor tasted like it was cooked in an oven. What got me was the side of potato salad was literally like taking a table and throwing a scoop on a plate!!! Not to mention, they gave my food to the wrong person that came in after me just wasn’t a very good experience. I literally went down the road to Johnny’s barbecue and I got a three meat plate loaded with Potato salad and greens onions, pickles, drink, and spent $24. I won’t be coming...
