Hey ya'll, I had a chance to go through their drive through the other day. I haven't been there in a while. Things have changed! What I wanted was 2 chopped BBQ sandwiches. But what I got was food good enough for my dogs. I got two plates exactly the same on both. When I placed my order I saw a sign that said white potato salad or something other kind of potato salad. Well, I chose the white potato salad. In WHAT TEXAS UNIVERSE is their version of potato salad, the Texas way of white potato salad. Theirs looked like a cow done been chewing on it for awhile and then spit it back out into that cup. Enough of that. You want to talk dinner rolls, I got 4 of them. 2 on each plate. Now, I know ya'll can't tell but them rolls where some rolls that Ellie Mae made! Hard as a rock!!!!! Really could not eat them. Let's go on from here and get to the star of the show..... the BBQ!! Texas Best! I saw another sign,they had signs every where. I was to busy looking at the signs and trying to obey what the BBQ GOD had spoken through a sign. Man, don't want to piss them off! I saw another sign that read great deal 2 BBQ plates plus 2sides for $9.99. So, I did me some chewing and decided that was a pretty good deal. Let's put a pin in this.... if a farmer selling you that old horse and he keeps on showing you the back end of that horse. Well, chances are there is something wrong with the front end of that horse. And I feel that's just what was going on. When I got home and looked at that meat( they used the word "Blended" meat) and I asked what that that was. And the white hair man told that it meant that the BBQ meat was chopped up and BBQ sauce was added to the meat. Now,that don't sound so bad. He/ They Lied, they all did! To me it looked like the"blended" part was old pork left over from the past week, that hadn't sold. SO, they put a big sign on it and move it one step closer to the trash cans!!!!!!

This is the worst BBQ I've ever had in my life, the place was completely empty and I can see why. They did not have any ribs, I opted for brisket and sausage. I'm appalled at the price I was charged, $17.49 for the portions received, my husband had a 3 meat plate, he got the same portions. The brisket had no seasoning, if it was smoked it was smoked in an oven. The baked beans were pork and beans from the can, no bbq flavor, the white potato salad had the texture of food processed chicken salad, I could taste no potato but something that resembles sour cream and the BBQ sauce, was nothing more than tomato paste with ketchup tendency. The sausage was palatable but it was not smoked either. I could not eat this, it was horrible, I cannot return. I spoke with the cashier who said she was the manager, the young lady did not offer to comp me anything but stated she let someone know. I did not eat even the white bread, left it all on the table, my husband forced his down because we paid. The servers were very polite and the restaurant looked very clean, I don't know, maybe the regular cook took the holiday off.

We came to Waco from Kansas City and the front desk guy at our hotel recommended this place. We ordered a to go order and when the door dash guy got there they were out of two of the things we ordered. Then when the food got back to us, of the two pounds of meat we ordered pulled pork and brisket. The brisket was all fat and oil. Needless to say this was a huge disappointment. I called and complained and was offered a credit for next time we are in town. No thanks. The beans tasted like regular Bushes canned beans. We always see how good Texas brisket is on YouTube and being from Kansas City we thought it would compete. See picture of our “Brisket”.

Stopped in today and left feeling very full and satisfied. We went around 4 p.m. and it was nice and quiet, which was a great option with kids. High chairs were available and didn't seem disgusting. I got the turkey and sausage with mac and cheese, and I loved it. Husband got the plate with 4 meats to try with potato salad, and I heard only good things from him. The meats seemed nice and soft. They offer a choice of 3 sauces, including bbq, spicy bbq, or a white sauce. We liked everything except the white sauce. The people were nice. You can refill your drinks at the fountain station, or they have sweet tea. We both got the banana pudding, and it looked questionable at first but tasted amazing. The only disappointment was that the rolls were hard as a rock. They also stated they no longer sell mashed potatoes. Wish they had macaroni salad. The 4 meat plate with 2 sides and bread, 2 meat plate with 2 sides and bread, and 2 desserts with 2 drinks came to $51. This is expected in our opinion with the rise of costs everywhere, and it seemed cheaper than other BBQ joints we have been to in Waco. All the tables and floors looked clean. Drive-thru available. We...
