Get the beef ribs and the jalapeño grits, they are amazing! Also pictured: three meat plate and two sides - brisket (yummy), pork ribs (okay), pork shoulder with chimichurri (yum!), jalapeno grits (amazing!), and beets (good but not the best).

Great BBQ from a food truck. They have mostly outdoor dining and where you get your drinks (separate building) a small area for indoor dining. Got the two meat plates, one with brisket and turkey and the 2nd one with sausage and brisket. You get to select 2 sides and each plate comes with bread, onions, and pickles. Each table has tasty BBQ sauce bottles and napkins. The area outside has heaters for when it cold and fans when it is hot. The background music they played is progressive. Meats and sides were excellent and very much enjoyed eating here.

Epic Brisket! Has to be some of the best in Texas. Ribs as well. We enjoyed the pulled lamb and some of the creative sides. A must stop on any bbq tour.

Good BBQ, I enjoyed a 3 meat plate with 2 sides. I'd have to say my favourite was the Turkey and the mac-n-cheese but it was all very tasty. Plenty of food, I didn't go hungry.
When I visited it wasn't too busy but it was lightly raining and I believe it can get very busy in good weather.

There's a small parking lot. The line is shorter than Franklin's. I recommend meat by the pound rather than the three meat plate. I recommend two pounds two men with appetites. A bar next door serves beer and sodas and desserts. I got there at 11:00 on a Saturday, waited in line for about thirty minutes, got my food a little before noon.

Extraordinary BBQ (especially the brisket) experience. Folks, this place is truly excellent and it's not crowded!! The brisket was moist, but with great texture and smoke flavor - tasty salt and pepper bark - generous portion on the BBQ sandwich. The sides were interesting, I went with the cheesy grits and I'm glad I did - not as overpowering as mac&cheese, but still very much *comfort* food. Solid homemade tomato-based sauce, comfortable picnic table/shade tree vibe. This place is a wonderful option for folks looking to experience top notch Central Texas BBQ

Some of the best barbecue I've ever had. I had the pulled lamb, pork ribs, brisket, sausage, jalapeño cheese grits, beet salad and lemon poppyseed slaw. All of the meats were exceptional, pulled lamb is a bit unique and I'm so glad that I got it. It's honestly really hard to say which meats I liked best because they were all great.
The cheddar jalapeño grits were exceptionally good, one of the best bbq sides I've ever had. The beets were pretty good and the coleslaw was alright, I would try something different next time.

This was a pleasant surprise! All of the food was good. We arrived at about 11:20am on a Sunday. It's kind of a food truck where you order, they give you a puck and then they buzz it when your food is ready. No long line due to this. We got our food 5 minutes after ordering.
We had a couple of their 3meat plates and some tacos. Brisket=😋 Pork ribs=😋 Turkey=juicy and delicious, Lamb=ok, Beans side=excellent, better than Franklins, Mac and cheese side= yummy.....but the best thing we had their was the Beef Cheek Tacos, highley recommended!
They are flanked by a place called Saddle Up and seem to share seating and parking. Saddle Up serves every type of drink you may need making it convenient because Micklethwait's only had water.

In town for a wedding from New Yok (I know i know Booooo) not those New Yorkers. We love BBq and can't get the good stuff up there. Been to 3 different places so far and by far they take the cake here. Brisket was unbelievable. Frito pie is genius and the Brisket burger had the wife praising it. She is a new England Irish girl so that means a lot. Thank you so much for great atmosphere, amazing BBq and good beer on a 102 degree day.

If you were deciding between waiting in line for Franklin or trying out Terry’s, don't. Go here. The special taco was unreal and the meat was so tender and amazing. The jalapeño grits and beet salad was terrific and the banana pudding was a perfect ending. The wait was almost nonexistent even though it might be better than Franklin just next door. Maybe the best barbecue, hands down.
