Read MoreIf you're driving through Waco, PLEASE make a stop here. Start to finish, I loved my experience. The butcher met me at the door and asked what I was eating today, and told me to meet him at the counter with a smile. He knew what he was about serve. I ordered a 2 meat plate, double sliced brisket with beans and potato salad.
I almost ordered it to go, but I'm glad I didn't. There was a lovely lady (I'm so sorry I didn't ask her name) that came to my table, and asked me if I would like gravy with my meal. I said no thank you ma'am. She said "well how about I give you a little bit to try" and of course I said yes ma'am.
Guys it's not just gravy, it's the meat drippings, an "au jus" that any Michelin star restaurant would die for.
It didn't stop there. She had a cart full of bread, pickles, onions, and peppers and served them table side with the biggest smile on her face. She even gave me a history lesson that this establishment has been there since 1915.
Then I had the butcher come check on me, and we talked about other great BBQ places in different areas since he knows I travel for work. I can't remember the last time I had such exceptional service and people skills in a long time. And for about $20 for my plate.
Now as far as the food:
THE. MOST. TENDER. BRISKET.
The BBQ sauce, the spicy sauce, and the "gravy". I'm still drooling at the mouth. The woman that was serving my table insisted she make me some gravy to go, and I'm so happy she did because now I can have my husband taste it. The potato salad was delicious, the beans were saucy, flavorful, and I devoured my meal thinking I would need a to go box, but I didn't. The only things I took home were the extra sauce and peppers.
TLDR: Don't judge a book by it's cover, this is the southern BBQ joint you're looking for. Also, ask about the rat cheese
