Texas BBQ

Brisket and Rice moving, 6166 Highway 6 North.

Hong Tran said the decision came after disputes with its landlord about leasing agreements and decided to move its location which is known for being attached to a Phillips 66 gas station.

. “We got two new pits being built for that location an addition to what we currently have. The quantity will be much more, so we won’t sell out as early. So, we will be ramping up as far as quantity for sure.”

Tran said this new location is about the same size but will be better for customers due to it featuring a ‘massive’ covered patio for dine-in seating and ‘unlimited’ parking for customers.

Somehow, it won't be as good, right?  Wish I could have tried the original location . . . just in case.

 

Either that, or it'll be fine.

Hey Gents,

So I am taking a foreign female down to Fredericksburg from Dallas and taking the back way via 67 and then 16. I know there is Cooper's on the way but no idea if it has become a name brand or is still worth hitting. 

I would love any recommendations on places to stop along the way. Thank you!

Many here will disagree, but I've found Cooper's in Llano to still be putting out quality food.
Ordering from the pit and the ambiance inside are both classic Texas BBQ that should be a cool experience for a non-Texan.

I agree with this. Just get the pork chop and be happy. The beans are good, too. Beware of salt.

I haven't had a good experience there in 8 years. There's a reason locals go to Inmans now.

Eaker is top 50 and run by awesome people. They return from vacation on tomorrow I believe.

If you go down 183 Youngs BBQ is in Lampasas and I've heard good things, but haven't been since they moved from San Saba

If you want or need Fredericksburg recs, shoot me a PM. I lm a local and have a list.

I can remember eating at Inman's when it was on the other side of 16 before the fire.

We used to haul loads of smoked turkey, turkey sausage, and fresh bread back home as xmas gifts for clients and friends.

Current spot was the Ramblin' Rose (RIP the "Hunter's Ball" - that was a throwback.)  I still go regularly.  It's all still the same and I enjoy it.

I'll tolerate Coopers and like the pork chop and smoked sirloin if I go, but it isn't somewhere I'll go for brisket.  That's not to say others don't like it.  Too salty and often with a pot roast consistency for my taste.

There's a new spot in town right on 16 just north of the bridge that is interesting to pop in.  Brett's Biltong (South African air dried beef).  Really good and sort of a butcher shop/deli combo.  I think you can even sit for a beer or wine.

Inmans turkey sausage is fantastic.

Haven't been to H-town in over a year, have a minute and pop into Corkscrew. Line was from the counter to the door at noon.  Not bad at all.
Ordered a rib plate with mac & cheese with 1/2 pound of moist brisket.  The ribs were great.  I ate everything on the plate except the biggest rib.  I was solo and just didn't want to feel bad all afternoon, LOL.  The mac & cheese was better than most in that was creamy and cheesy, not that goopy shit that is just stuck together like noodles and paste. I dipped the bread in the sauce.  It was fine.  I'm not picky there.  I view sauce basically as a parachute for bad meat.  That was not needed today.

The brisket was the best I can remember having.  I know sometimes you just luck out on the cut, but it was a tender chew, with the fat rendered perfectly.  I was eating alone and took my time and was soooo grateful not to have to rush.  Cutter threw in a burnt end at my request.

Plate was $48 with a 15% gratuity- fuck it, they are a mom and pop, so let's go.  My meal was a 10 out of 10 and I'm a grumpy sumbeech.  That's indeed pricy, but if I had had a buddy with me we probably would have only added some sausage and another side.

2 things that were interesting/ funny to me:

1) no knives available.  That's putting your money where your meat is.  I didn't need one, once I got going.

2) those sliced jalapenoes were like playing Russian roulette.  First one was damned near bell pepper.  2nd slice was about a 6 out of 10.  they kept going like that.
