Broken G BBQ — Restaurant in Waco

Moved to Texas a few years ago. When looking for a place to move I stopped in Waco Texas. I did the touristy Magnolia Silos visit but the whole time I kept smelling this amazing smell and on the walk back to the car my friends and I decided to find where the heavenly aroma was coming from. We found Backyard Bar and Grill and saw they had two menus. We looked at the Broken G menu and tried a bunch of things the Black N Gold mac and cheese is to die for. Since then Ive come in to grab that and I have even purchased containers of the Broken G BBQ sauce it is amazing. I think this the best BBQ i have had in the two years I have lived here in Texas and Ihave tried in total 15 different spots (from Dallas to San Antonio to Houston) this is the number one. We now live closer To Dallas but anytime were in Waco or someone mentions it I make sure to tell them about Broken G and the amazing black n gold...

(Updated info below initial review) Rating is solely based on the fact that we drove up on the way through Waco and looked up the location via Google Maps. Hours showed open, but when we arrived it was closed.

Totally understandable, I used to work in local marketing. They offered a chance to swing by and try their food later, so...

This might be the best BBQ I've ever had. That brisket was so tender! The chef was welcoming and had to explain "getchasum potatoes" to my slow-to-the-party self. (I was thinking it was a Korean flavoring until he said it out loud!) They sounded delicious, but they're smothered in cheese, which I just can't tolerate well so I went with the bean dishes, both excellent! The fried chicken was very good too. I'm not a fan of sitting outside, but they did have sunbrellas.

While I'm a big eater, I couldn't finish this plate of food. That's something I basically never say.

Based on what I saw people eating at the silos area and my own dining here, I think this place could be the best. The value alone is worth walking the 3 blocks from...
