Old House BBQ

I enjoyed Old House. It was authentic TX BBQ with good flavor. I had the 2 meat sandwich special w/2 sides. I also added 3 pork ribs and had green beans and Caesar salad for my 2 sides. My favorite meats were the 1) pork ribs followed by the 2) jalapeno sausage. The 2 meats I selected for my sandwich were brisket and jalapeno sausage. The brisket was just OK. Not much of a bark or smoke/seasoning flavor as I prefer for a "craft" BBQ brisket. It seems they maybe rushed the cook a bit and didn't follow the tried and true "low & slow" 225 method? Or give it much rub? But it was still legit and worth checking out! They had 3 different kinds of sauce to try if you wanted. Regular, spicy and smoky. I'm not a huge sauce guy but I still like to check it all out. They were good but honestly, I could not taste much difference between them. They also had a nice condiment station with all of the typical accoutrements which is good! I always like to have some white onions with my Q

Every time we travel this way we make it a point to stop here for this high quality BBQ. And trust me, I am so picky. The brisket is always moist and tender and so are the ribs. The sauce is also delicious and I think they have a ‘hot’ version as well. They have a very large selection of sides (like a dozen) so there is something there for all tastes. I like their peach cobbler a lot but there are about 6 different pies also to choose from. They also have a self-serve ice cream machine. I definitely recommend this small family owned restaurant. They do a lot of takeout too. Enjoy!

Not a fan at all. Looked decent based off reviews and number of vehicles outside during non peak hours. In Texas we can do bbq. Unfortunately so many open a bbq joint with no real bbq skills. Meat was dry. No flavor. All side and all good is very bland. I’m not one for going crazy with simple things like green beans and mac and cheese but this food needs flavor. The Mac made me gag. Gbs are ok. Brisket has no rub or seasoning at all. I like lower sodium for health reasons but this needed salt badly. This place has the potential to be good. It needs help to get there. For those who know how to smoke meats or has legit expectations for bbq you will likely be disappointed. If you’ve never had real good bbq there’s a chance you won’t realize the difference. Dickies is about the level of this place. Rudy’s definitely better. And real bbq places are always the way to go. I hope the owners get it together and learn the skills of bbq!!
