Came out to Red Wagon BBQ to try it out and process why someone having a wonderful time "just dating" would not speak to me for a week. Actually, less of that. This food was too good! I had the BBQ bowl which was the best way to sample their best offerings. Brisket was wonderful. Sausage was amazing. Sauce was simultaneously sweet and vinegary which I like. Banana pudding was delightful. "Not too sweet" which he said and I saw in lots of reviews. I only had a couple of bites and I only ate about half the BBQ bowl. I also enjoyed the Jarritos Pineapple soda. It's decorated for Christmas and is totally adorable. There a room off to the right. Looks like it needs a party. Has a spot for a band. It was busy for a Saturday to my eyes. Usually a BBQ place is practically empty. At least five cars of people came in before I even walked in. The man I'm assuming is the owner was super sweet and very welcoming. This is a wonderful place. I'll definitely be back.

First time in Waco and I’m happy that we discovered this local BBQ restaurant right next to the Homestead Market! Red Wagon BBQ shares the same parking lot with the Homestead Market and the Quilt Shop, so parking is easy and the location is great. The BBQ food truck is pretty cute and they also have plenty of outdoor (shaded) seatings right next to their food trucks. I love the fact that they make so much efforts on decorating their dining space, and I recommend taking a cute pic of/with your BBQ right in front of the RW welcome wall. A very Texan vibe sure 🤠 Our plan was to order a brisket + sausage combo but the sausage was sold out by the time we ordered, so the server offered us all briskets. The owners are all very friendly and sweet. They’re very yummy, juicy and tender. Will definitely coming back to try their sausage 😋

BEST BBQ IN WACO - WORTH THE DRIVE. (There is plenty of indoor seating.) Red Wagon is just a little past Homestead Heritage and has everything a great BBQ joint should have. The owner, Michael, is excited to greet his customers after spending all day making tender and flavor- infused meats. The sides are on-point. It’s obvious everything is scratch made since each side is like its own flavor bomb. The mac and cheese is made with real cheese. The beans are by far the best pinto beans I’ve had in years. The coleslaw is crisp with hints of cilantro and without globs of mayo. The coleslaw is made with dill and pairs well with the salty, savory meats. And, the banana pudding is made with real whipped cream. The hospitality is so good that you’ll not want to leave!

So i brought my wife to waco for her Birthday. So we wentto Terry Blacks..."best bbq right"...WRONG had the dog with us and i got mest to go so we ate in the parking lot. Sausage was meh, Briskit was not tender...was dry...best thing was the fat.... spent $70....sorry WASTED $70....GOT back to our cabin and saw a sign for Red Wagon BBQ ....we really wanted some good BBQ and had our fingers crossed. so ordered and took it out to the car and ...WOW...Id eat that briskit all day everyday if i could Turkey breat i recommend too ..we got cole slaw, Mac-N-Cheese to LIVE FOR. And Thank you Lord....a place that knows how to make REAL HONEST TO GOODNESS HOME MADE "NANNER PUDDIN"....AND TASTED like home made cookies too in it.

Guys keep it up....You're doin it right. Great BBq and not near as expensive Good BBQ takes allot of work ...Great BBQ is almost impossible ...these guys are doing the Impossible. If youre staying in downtown Waco, dont fall for the Name, may be a famous name, But if you want Real BBQ and Real GREAT BBQ...take a 20 min drive and you wont waste your time.

By the way, true story, our dog wouldnt eat Terry Blacks.... Devoured Red Wagon right...

We went and had no problems. We watched the lady slice it right then and there from the larger part. The pricing seemed fair especially paying more at other local spots. They did offer tips when paying and I really don't like that practice. You order at the counter they prep it right there and you grab a drink and seat where you want. You clean up after yourself. The service was great and the ladies working the days we went were super nice. She spoke to us and extremely friendly. She remember us from visiting other locations they are tied to over the years. Food tasted good. My husband liked the potato salad and said it tasted fresh. I don't eat it so I don't know if that is helpful or not. We went just before dinner rush and it wasn't too busy yet. The building has a good amount of seating, parking is also ample. It seems clean and there is an ice cream freezer for...
