Whitfield's

Writing a review for the owner for what it is worth. We miss you. Though at times, it was difficult because sometimes you're open and sometimes you're not. Several times, we arrived and were let down; even on weekends. There's no number to call and the Facebook page is not updated with open/close days. Sometimes when I have the itch for BBQ, I weigh whether to drive over there just to see if it's open and sometimes I don't. I hope you and your family is well as we get to experience your BBQ again.

Every time I drive past Whitfield’s BBQ it looked closed as if I missed out of something big. But after eating at Hacienda Arandinas for lunch I saw smoke and a person walking back to their vehicle carry a bag, so I quickly parked. There were two trailers where one housed the pits and the other were you order from, and a covered picnic tables with pots of cactus giving that Texas vibe. I mentally assumed it is one of this places where they spontaneously decide to open and sell their meat until it is gone, go home and throw the ball around. Hence, I read somewhere an ex-Texas Longhorn football player was the pit master. This was my first experience and even though has a full belly of Mexican food, I still needed something to eat for the next two days where a cold front just arrived and be stuck at home. The guy slid his window open and he quickly told me what was left. The smell that came out from the window memorized me and lifted me in the air. I ordered a half chicken, pork ribs, 1/2 pound of brisket, and potato salad. They seem to be eager to go home and excited I was ordering so much food where they seem to try to push the kolaches on me. I told them perhaps next time where this I would have to eat right away. The whole ordering process went very quickly where soon I was home. I just had to see what they packed and opened it. The chicken smelled very smokey and just had to taste it where it was one of the best chickens I ever had. The meat was so warm and soft. The rest was in a takeout container for opening the lid exposed a super thick slice of brisket and huge pork ribs where the meat had already started to fall off the bone. Pickles and onions were sprinkled on top. Both had excellent flavor and placed all of this meat into the fridge. Over the next two days I just enjoyed it by warming it in the microwave. I was nit a big fane of the potato salad where it had thick potato chunks and seem light on the flavor. On the bright side it did not last long where someone including me ate it up quickly. I definitely will keep an eye out for smoke where will definitely add this place to my BBQ rotation and perhaps try the kolaches.

We got the brisket and pulled pork tacos. They were absolutely delicious and HUGE! I literally danced while I ate mine! I'll definitely go earlier next time for the pickled strawberries and pineapple, which they were out of. BBQ sauce is freaking incredible! Huge portions, super friendly staff, to go wrapped up well, a must visit!

Boy, I sure am glad I gave these guys a second chance. I showed up on one of their "Mondays" (really wed/ thurs, now friday) when they first opened up. I ordered brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and ribs. Everything was dry and tasted like it was leftover from the previous week. Being a diehard BBQ fanatic, I went back the following week with an open mind. This time well into the start of the day. They did not disappoint. Therefore, a 5***** rating has been given. I've been back several times. I'm hoping to snare some boudin and crawfish on my next run. FYI- Their homemade pickles and onions are exceptional. I hope to try their hot pineapple. Their homemade loaded potato salad rates good in my book. Yesterday, Sat 5/21 finally arrived before they ran out of boudin and crawfish. Also available, hot pineapple and pickled strawberry. The boudin was off the chart. The crawfish were well seasoned. The pineapple and strawberry's rocked.

We came here based on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. The food was AMAZING! This meal set the bar really high for the next BBQ experience I will have in the future. Also worth noting that the owner was unbelievably kind and did nothing short of making sure we had an excellent experience. The food industry needs more people like him 🔥

Fantastic BBQ that rivals all the “big names” in town. Brisket is fantastic, ribs are always on point, and pulled pork sandwich is the bomb. Sides are fantastic as well and if you can run into a brisket Kolache on a Saturday morning you’ll never want any other breakfast food. Owner and staff are crazy friendly and will sit and have a beer with you if the joint isn’t too crazy. Definitely a must visit.
