Texas Prime Bbq & Catering - Pleasanton (TX)

3 /5 Cody Gonzales: Texas Prime BBQ has some solid offerings, but it left me feeling a bit underwhelmed overall. The service was great—friendly and quick, which definitely made the experience better. I also really enjoyed the spicy sausage, which had a decent kick and was well-seasoned. The cheesecake at the end was pleasant—creamy and flavorful. That said, the main event—the BBQ meats and sauce—fell short. The flavor just wasn’t there. Both the meat and the sauce were pretty bland, lacking the smoky depth or bold seasoning I expect from Texas BBQ. On top of that, the temperature of the food was a bit off—it just wasn’t hot enough, which took away from the overall experience. Not a bad spot, but not quite the BBQ standout I was hoping for.

5 /5 Manuel Rios: Had the turkey plate with cowboy beans, and Spanish rice. I was skeptical thinking that the turkey breast might be dry, but to my surprise, it has been the best turkey breast I’ve had. It is juicy, and has a mild sweet smoky flavor; put that between two slices of bread and top it off with their bbq sauce(which is also really good), and it made my day. The beans and rice also have great flavor, and good texture—not hard, but also not overcooked to pudding. @memerios1020

5 /5 Zippy: Great bbq with killers sides ( Green Beans Excellent) and some very tasty homemade desserts.

5 /5 Jonathan Schalchlin: Texas Prime BBQ is an absolute gem in small-town Texas! From the moment we walked in, the place was spotless and impeccably organized. The staff made us feel right at home, especially the owner, Rick, who was as welcoming as they come. The food was out of this world. We started with the stuffed jalapeños—these things are Texas-sized bites of Heaven! Imagine a homemade cream cheese concoction wrapped in perfectly crispy bacon. It’s like a Texas version of a Twinkie, but better! The brisket was incredibly moist, and the sausage? Juiciest I’ve ever had. The spicy barbecue sauce had just the right kick, complementing everything perfectly. And don’t get me started on the sides—the cowboy-style beans were full of flavor, and the green beans were so juicy and fresh. A special shoutout to the pit master, David, who took us on a tour of the pit. It was fascinating to see where the magic happens. We capped off the meal with some homemade banana pudding, and it was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. If you’re looking for authentic, family-owned Texas BBQ, you’ve got to check out Texas Prime BBQ. This place is the real deal!

4 /5 Rudy Trevino: First of all, the brisket here is tender and delicious. Cant go wrong with the brisket. The potato salad and cowboy beans were good as well. The bbq sauce they have is decent. Price-wise..theyre a bit steep but nothing too overwhelming. Comparable to Bill Miller prices. The atmosphere though is where they struggle. If you plan to eat in, be prepared to sweat because they have no air conditioning. They have fans blowing but theyre circulating air from the outside so you know what that means? Texas heat blowing right in. If you can deal with the heat, then give this place a try.
