2 /5 James Ford: Ive eaten at this restaurant several times over the past year and a half, and it is steadily declining. Ive withheld my review because I dont want to damage the reputation local small businesses, but enoughs enough. In short, you’ll pay premium hill country prices for BBQ that isn’t even the best in East Texas.
Don’t get me wrong; it started out great during my first visit. I gave the next four visits the benefit of the doubt based on that initial experience. But during my last visit? The brisket was dry, the beans were nigh tasteless and lukewarm, the Texas Twinkies tasted like they had been made two days before, and the queso was thick and at room temperature. Elotes have a good base, but in the end, youll get canned corn. Corn connoisseurs will be especially disappointed that it tastes as if its made from canned rather than fresh or frozen corn. Initial bite is great, and then the preservative-like aftertaste ruins it. Each time Ive had chips, theyve been rubbery and stale, as if they havent been fried long enough and have been left out too long.
What began as a fantastic addition to East Texas has become some of the worst BBQ I’ve ever had. I was completely embarrassed to recommend this place for lunch to my coworkers, hoping to relive my first experience.
And if your mission is just for the tacos? I mean... handrolled tortillas are decent, but there are better taco options in Marshall. Sure they wont have brisket, but the brisket here lacks enough pepper, salt, bark, and moisture anyway.
