TEXAS MONTHLY SAYS: 2003: Our favorite items here are the St. Louis pork spareribs (large, lean, and meaty), the carrot soufflé, and the garlic potatoes. Numerous to-go meals are on display in a freezer. The decor is atypical for a barbecue place: dark, polished woods and floral prints. Beer & wine. Open 7 days 11-9.
2008: This tidy buffet-style cafeteria disguised as a Western saloon does nearly all its meats well. Brisket, after sixteen hours over oak, was tender-firm. St. Louis pork ribs were sweet (a little too sweet), Cajun chicken blackened and juicy. The made-from-scratch sides (gloppy mac and cheese, savory greens, and solid versions of the Big Three) change regularly, but the carrot soufflé is always available. Dull sauce.
