Brisket & Rice

Hmmm what can I say. First, this place was super busy, line moved ok and the food came out super fast. Now I would have been excited to review the food, if I had gotten the right food. The girl behind the register was nice but she definitely wasn’t listening to me. She was more involved with the food coming out for the people waiting. I WANTED to order Brisket N Rice with the reg jasmine rice, she decided to put fried rice. I wanted to order second Brisket N Rice with fried rice, she decides to put down bbq fried rice (which does not come with brisket on top, more just chopped in the rice) I asked what is poor man’s Mac, she described what it was, and decided to add it to my order. I had to get her to take that off cause I just wanted to find out what it was. I asked can you take off the green onions from the loaded potato salad, she said yeah! Yet when I got it, they threw a whole handful on top of my potato salad. I’m not one to complain, they were really busy. So I took my food and sat down. The meat was reallyyyy tender, it was amazing how soft it was. I’ll probably come back when it’s not so busy, it was Mother’s Day so who knows. But gotta be after that payday cause dang, it’s a bit pricey, but most bbq places are.

We finally made it out to try the brisket and fried rice and it was worth the drive. We tried a little bit of everything, the brisket was fantastic. Nicely rendered, seasoned well, tender and moist. Ribs were fall off the bone and nicely seasoned. Sausage was juicy with a nice snap. The sides were a little hit or miss. I honestly didn't care for the poor man's mac or the mac and cheese. The first was just meh, i really expected more flavor. The mac and cheese was not very cheesy and just bland. However the corn was great. The baked potato salad was surprisingly good and the chilli was tasty. The fried rice is definitely the standout. Overall very enjoyable and I would say a little more reasonably priced than other BBQ joints.

Michelin star restaurants are known for their creative approach to traditional dishes. Here in Texas, BBQ and Brisket is KING! This place has very decent meat, nothing I tasted was bad, however, I have had way better BBQ at other places without Michelin stars. Where I think this guys knock it out of the park is with their RICE! (And the Banana Pudding). Normally, rice ia not a traditional side dish for Texas BBQ places, but this guys serve their brisket on top of some delicious fried rice (or just steam white rice) and I think that’s the wow factor!!! Overall, it is a great place, with good value for your buck and good atmosphere. It is small, and the line can get long… also, it is first come first serve kinda deal, once they’re out… they’re out.

I had had this place on my must-visit list for several months. It’s a small spot, but thoughtfully laid out. As the name suggests, their specialty is rice and brisket, though they also offer a great variety of sides and main dishes. We tried the fried rice and the brisket, along with the street corn and coleslaw. The brisket was outstanding—I can confidently say it’s among the best I’ve had in Texas. The Asian-style fried rice, with its distinct Texas twist, was something completely new to me and an absolute stroke of genius. Special mention goes to their mustard BBQ sauce, which is simply delicious.

BAAABY!!!! The food here is on point and my parents treat themselves to this establishment fairly regularly. While I'm doing it review, I'm eating the BBQ Fried Rice with no eggs. Ooooweeee! So good, hot, fresh. It's the perfect match between Asian and Texan cuisine!
