I pulled up at 10:33 a.m. and was the first in line. After this tray, I’d do it again without hesitation.

MEATS

Brisket: 10/10

Absolute perfection. Moist, tender, bark locked in, fat rendered exactly how it should be.

Pork Ribs: 9/10

Great bite, clean pull from the bone, balanced smoke. Just shy of legendary but still outstanding.

Turkey: 9/10

Juicy. Not dry in the slightest, which is rare. Beautiful smoke profile without overpowering the meat.

Green Onion & Pepper Jack Sausage: 10/10

This one steals the show. The snap, the seasoning, the creamy heat from the pepper jack—unreal. Order it.

SIDES

Pepper Jack Mac & Cheese: 10/10****

Four stars added for emphasis.

Creamy, bold, and indulgent without being heavy. Possibly one of my favorites thus far.

Dirty Rice: 7/10

Solid supporting cast member. Good flavor, just not the headline act on this tray.

Texas Beans: 8/10

Solid. I’m not the biggest bean fan but the added sausage and brisket push it past my expectations.

Cornbread Muffin Stuffed with Brisket and Cheese: 10/10

This is borderline unfair to other sides. Sweet cornbread meets savory brisket, cheese and jalapeños—a handheld masterpiece.

DESSERT

Banana Pudding: 9/10

Creamy, balanced, not overly sweet. The perfect finish to a heavy-hitting tray.

TOTAL DAMAGE

$52. Absolutely worth it.

If you’re chasing great Texas barbecue, this stop belongs on the list.
