Food Highlights
- Texas Trinity: A meat-lover’s holy grail—succulent brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and snappy sausage. Fans call it a “symphony of smoky bites” worth the drive.
- El Flaco Sandwich: Pulled pork piled high on fresh bread, crowned with tangy slaw. Reviewers rave it’s a “flavor explosion” with backyard vibes.
- 1/2 Slab Spare Ribs: Glazed with award-winning sauce and smoked low-and-slow. “Best ribs in Texas,” declares one road-tripper.
- Mac and Cheese: Creamy shells jazzed up with bell peppers and optional pulled pork. A side so good, it’s practically the main event.
- Pineapple Slaw: Sweet, crunchy, and unexpectedly addictive. Skeptics become believers after one bite.
