Hill Country Smokehouse - Bertram (TX)

3 /5 Elizabeth Parrish-Lorcy: This place was really hyped up by my friend and Im sad to say it was a disappointing experience. The restaurant itself is really charming with that local smokehouse decor we know and love in Texas. The staff is very friendly and the guy ringing us up was very patient with our indecisiveness. We really appreciated that. However, the brisket was extremely dry. The ribs were dry and a bit hard as well. Not falling off the bone like I would expect. The mac ncheese was pretty lackluster. It tasted like it was from a box. Now I must say - the fried okra was awesome. Made fresh and tasted great. Green beans were fresh as well. Kudos there. Im hoping we just came on a bad week and got unlucky. Thanks for the good service though. If I come again and its as good as my friend said it usually is, Ill happily change my review. Also, theres a lot of styrofoam and plastic in use. Please use real cups and plates! Its better for the environment.

5 /5 Eric A: Bbq is great we both had potatos and they were perfect bbq is a tiny bit spicy too which we loved. Will be going back again. We had the pulled pork potato and a chopped brisket.peach cobbler and banana pudding is a must have.

5 /5 Covenant AD33: Great little Texas BBQ spot! Ribs, brisket, and chopped brisket were all legit, and the sides were tasty. Fast, very friendly service, and cozy little dining area. Also a very clean patio area with picnic tables and shade.

5 /5 Vic Bailey: I came in with my wife for a last minute order for my Christmas Eve dinner and as I walked in I saw how busy they were with a big line and didn’t think I’d get out fast but once I got to the register Carlos changed all of that for me and my wife. He was the most polite cashier and they way he gave direction to the other workers while they were slammed and not letting them get flustered was very impressive. He made sure everyone before me got their orders out fast and I was surprised with how smooth my ordering process was with him and how he made me and my wife feel comfortable the whole time we had to wait since there were a few big orders before us. . I had family come in last minute and needed to find something quick to feed them. Thank you Hill Country Smokehouse for being open and providing great BBQ for my family’s Christmas Eve dinner. I will be back again, definitely!

5 /5 Traci Kay: Stopped by the first time today to eat here. Im super picky about my BBQ and thought I would give it a shot. Im so glad I did! That was one of the BEST brisket sandwiches Ive ever had! The service was superb and super friendly!
