Great Brisket and Sausage! We stopped by here on our way back to Houston and loved it! The brisket was our favorite, we got a combination of the lean and marbled brisket as well as the buttered potatoes. Both of these items are so tasty!...Read More

Dont stop here for moist brisket. Stopped by and asked for fatty and moist brisket asked twice very nicely. She said no problem..When we recieved the food, the Brisket was dry and there wasn't hardly any fat. Very disappointed.Sausage, green beans and burger was good.
