JZ Smokehouse BBQ - Runge (TX)

4 /5 Patrick Pratt: So far the best eating experience in the area. Had the ribs and jalapeño sausage. Ribs were fall off the bone tender, sausage was really good. Sides were also good. Waitress was super friendly and attentive.

1 /5 toby cochran: Worst BBQ ever. I got a to-go plate that had turkey and brisket. Two pieces of brisket one was all fat and the other was old. It was cut days earlier. It was dry and hard as a rock. The potato salad was a little blan. The beans tasted like they came out of a can. The turkey was actually good. Im guessing it was store bought. I dont see how this place is even allowed to be business..

5 /5 Lauren Smith: I’ve wanted to try this place every time I come through Runge but it was always closed because it was morning. I finally had the chance to go and it didn’t disappoint. They have a big menu and big sandwiches. I ordered a chopped brisket sandwich (comes with no sides), potato salad, coleslaw, ice tea and some brownies (because you always need dessert) and it was $24. It’s a little pricey, but the portions are good size and thankfully it was good. I will definitely go back when I have more time.

5 /5 Danny D: Great spot for bbq. Love the brisket sandwich. They dont have long hours but if you happen to be passing by when theyre open its worth stopping. I wish they had fries to go with it but only chips and a few other sides I still need to try. If you havent been you might be missing out.

5 /5 Vanessa Reyna: I may be a little biased cause I’m from Runge but I have had a lot of bbq! Today was the half chicken and it was cooked perfectly! The flavor and the juiciness of the meat (no blood) was just amazing! The sides were delish as well. The price was reasonable considering the size of the chicken and the great sides! Always my favorite
