Johnny's Bar-B-Que — Restaurant in Seguin

I know that Friday's special is catfish and with the recent rain and me trying to get my own and not being successful I' thought of the next best thing instead of being self sustainable- Johnny's BBQ. I was disappointed but in a good way- I ended up with the dilemma of having to choose between today's special and the catfish. I was pleasantly surprised that today their special was steak fingers and I was not disappointed at all!!! I've never had such tender steak fingers before and their sweet potato fries, MUAH💋 I tried them too did not disappoint. My son had two meet plate, sausage and brisket and for him he was "let down" for lack of a better words with the brisket because it was too tender for his taste. love the kid but he can be a weirdo because the bite I had was perfection. So don't let that deter you from coming here and having the barbecue because it's excellent 🤣 Each of us had the macaroni and cheese and it was good. My son also had their pinto beans which for him were perfect, especially since he said they seemed fresh compared to day old pinto beans, whatever that means lol. Their staff is friendly and don't forget like I do to order that piece of pie. I've ALWAYS wanted to try it, they look so yummy and delicious and even though it's RIGHT THERE in the case at the register I always miss out. Next time, I swear I won't forget because I'm making it a priority to...

Usually my husband and I dine in and we love the food! On Friday I called in a togo order, or should I say tried, when my husband got home from work. He got home and suggested fried catfish from Johnnys. I didn't think about what time it was or checking what time they closed, it honestly didn't cross my mind because it was 6:45 on a Friday evening. The woman answered the phone, "Johnny's BBQ what can I get you?" "Can I get a small catfish plate please?" This woman starts huffing and forming incoherent sentences and is progressively getting louder, talking about, "I'm trying...huffing, what time is it? 6:45? No, 6:50." At this point she's YELLING, I honestly thought she was yelling at someone in the kitchen. And then she finally spits out, "it's 6:50. We close at 7 and we're on a 30 minute wait!!" I was so shocked I literally just hung up without saying anything. It was 6:47 when I checked what time I called. 13 minutes BEFORE closing. I understand better than anyone as I'm a cook also, usually I would never have called had I realized they closed at 7. However, the way that woman YELLED at me makes me never want to return. If she had simply explained they closed in 13 minutes(not 10) and they were on a 30 minute wait, I would have understood and ordered some place else. Unfortunately it upset my so bad I lost...

I was excited to stumble across this place, since normally finding a BBQ shack away from town with a full parking lot is a hidden gem, but not this time. Walking in, the deer heads on the wall, the camouflaged, boot-wearing clientele, old-school white menu board, the pie fridge, complete with an extremely friendly and welcoming cashier who helped me select my sides (there's A LOT!) - what could go wrong? The "BBQ", that's what could go wrong. The pork ribs tasted like they'd been brined for a week too long - salty, too soft, and lacking real smoke flavor. The brisket was like something you'd get from a school cafeteria - no smoke flavor, Ultra-thin slices. The sausage was about as exciting as the ride over from SA. It's sad when the pecan pie, pickled beets and coleslaw were the best parts of the meal. I Should've gotten the hint when I saw everyone eating the fried Catfish special instead of BBQ. oddly enough, I may return for the Catfish. 🤷‍♂️ Definitely would not pay the $30...
