Stopped at Kolacny's Bar-B-Q House in Halletville yesterday on the way to El Campo.  This is a place listed in the 2021 TM BBQ Honorable mention and receives good reviews throughout those who like obscure, old-school barbecue - like the podcasters on Tales From the Pits.  We got there around 1:00 following quite a rush.  The original owners, Ervin and Carolyn, were manning the shop because the son and daughter-in-law, who now run the joint, were catering for a funeral.  I really wanted to try the pork steak, but unfortunately Ervin said that the only thing they had left was two rings of sausage.  Of course I got those two sausage rings and they were great.  Course ground with a perfect snap.  I'm looking forward to finishing the sausage this afternoon with a stack of saltines.

Although its out of the way for almost anyone, I will go back (probably paired with a trip to Shiner).  If Halletsville is on your way somewhere, its worth the stop.  

Even if all meats were available, I probably would have only bought pork steak, sausage, and a half chicken.  I don't go to places like this for brisket, which many places have perfected.  I go for the simple food cooked in a manner that it has been cooked since the 1800s.  The same reason I grab a sausage ring from Smitty's when I'm in Lockhart.

I heard they pay $2.50 down in Halletsville, $3, maybe more...
