MANSFIELD

This place is great. I met a coworker for a business lunch. Our order was taken quickly. Employees were very friendly and professional. The BBQ was out in a reasonable period of time. We split this (picture below): EL JEFE - 1/3 lb each of brisket, pulled pork, spare ribs, turkey, burnt ends and sausage Mac and cheese and Mexican rice for sides). It was hot, very tasty, and the perfect amount of food. Thanks for a great visit!

First off, the service here is TOP NOTCH the staff is friendly and extremely helpful. This place has a lot of social media hype but, not all of the food lives up to the hype. The street corn needed salt to balance the acidity from the lime and could have done with about half of the water. The Brisket was a bit dry and arguably had too much fat cap. This could have been due in part to the time of day we came (2:30p). The Mexican cornbread was interesting. The pork ribs were great, I was worried at the amount of bark for my liking but, it worked! The absolute best thing I had here were the fries. My wife loved the baked potato and the kids liked the brisket sandwiches. My son who had the burger described it as “mid” (who gets a burger at a BBQ joint anyway lol). This is certainly a place we would try again, maybe on a Sunday to get some of their barbacoa (beef cheeks).

Today we had a chance to stop by while we were in town for a wedding. This was mine and my wife’s first visit and here is our take on it. Wow! Wow! The whole experience was amazing, from ordering to enjoying the plate of BBQ served to us at the table. We had the Tostada, the Birria taco, stuffed cornbread, the smoked quail, Texas twinkies, pork belly burnt ends, one of the best briskets I have ever eaten and to top off an already amazing lunch we had the banana pudding. Delicious!! Although the Q was amazing Casey the manager was the star of the show. He took care of us like we were royalty. Thank Y’all for showing us what true hospitality and great food is all about. Definitely one of the best Texas Monthly top 50 we have eaten at if not the best.
