Pure Country BBQ & Grill - Boerne (TX)

2 /5 M Flores: The cheeseburger was good, fries were too salty. The sausage looks like it was boiled. And the brisket was wait to fatty and greasy. Baked potatoe was delicious and the Texas twinkies were good too.

5 /5 Brendan Alvarado: Pure Country BBQ & Grill is a fantastic spot for anyone craving real, down-home barbecue. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a true country-style vibe that makes you feel right at home. The BBQ is outstanding—tender, smoky, and full of flavor. From brisket and ribs to pulled pork and classic sides, everything is cooked to perfection and served in generous portions. The sauces complement the meats perfectly without overpowering them.

3 /5 M B: Update 6 months after initial review: Still cant give them more than a 3 star...Came back to give them a second chance on the food. Party of 4 on a Sunday at noon. Food is still not up to par with the previous establishment (D&P). The basic burger was rated as good, but not special. The club was good (but the bacon well overdone), but the mashed potatos were bland. The 2x meat sandwich had good/moist brisket, but the sausage was average at best. Their sauce is very sweet and was not liked by 3x of the four at our table when tasted. The fries and okra were basic (they still dont have tater tots). The breakfast plate was below average...bacon way overdone, eggs (omlet style) came out luke warm. The french toast was ok, but not great. Atmosphere is still nice and what they have done outside is great, but they are definitely a step down in food. First review: Been waiting to try the replacement for D&P in order to let them get the kinks out of opening. Party of 5 on a Thursday for dinner. From time of order to delivery was still pretty slow (just under 30 minutes). First the good: The atmosphere has not changed. It is family friendly and fun. We like that they moved the bingo outside since it was always distracting and loud inside. Food-wise there were some good points. Sweet potato fries were rated as excellent, the chopped brisket was moist (more on that later though) and had good flavor. The fries are standard as were the chips. The wrap was rated as good. Unfortunately, none of the food was considered by our group to be exceptional. Now the not so good: They eliminated the first set of menus when you enter, thereby causing a backup at the ordering counter. Put the menus back on the screen so people can make their decisions before entering the line. The chopped brisket (though it had good flavor) was very greasy. After the first couple bites, the bun fell apart. The BLT seemed more like a grilled cheese with the BLT ingredients added as an afterthought. This is the first place weve ever eaten that has cheese on a BLT. They were out of sausage (even though the menu did not indicate so), so that reduced some of the offerings. The burger was on the dry side. Overall, not very impressed. Well give them another try, but...

2 /5 Eric V Seemann: My first visit, likely my only visit. Met a friend for a business lunch and we were excited to give Pure country a try. (Side note; my first visit was a few weeks ago, but by 4:30 pm, they were out of brisket, ribs and sausage. They were making there sandwiches) I ordered the brisket plate with a side of sausage. Service was quick but food was bland and unexciting. The brisket was very moist and tender, but essentially flavorless. No rub. No Smoke (or even a smoke ring). Bland dry sausage. The potato salad was good, as was the cream corn. Good but not Great or WOW! And while it is convenient, I don’t like the sliced bread in a bag or the pickles and onions. May be sanitary, but also feels institutionalized, which in my mind is not the ‘vibe’ you want. Even the potato salad seemed to have machine processed potatoes in very small clean cut chunks (bits may be more appropriate). Sorry to say, that with so many texas BBQ joints to choose from, why settle?
