We are from Texas and living in a different state it's hard to find good BBQ. This place hits the spot every time. Ordered delivery and ordered take out straight from the owner. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. Takes us back every time we order never disappoints. Ps. The fried okra is AMAZING!!!!!

Yesterday my husband and I had the pleasure of eating at Texas BBQ wagon. We were looking for some tasty ribs and, boy, did we find them. First, the place is actually in a strip mall but you step inside and you're in a cozy BBQ joint. Their menu is quite extensive. Ribs, pulled pork, brisket, catfish, shrimp.... so many choices! But we were there for ribs. We both ordered 5 bones and a side. My husband opted for the spicy sauce with a side of potato salad. I opted for the mild sauce and a side of beans ... plus an additional side of potato salad. This was a mistake. The portions are generous. My husband was fine with his but next time I'll order 3 bones and one side. The food was delicious!! We both loved our sauces. The beans are so good! The potato salad was yummy. Just good food. The service was top notch. They made sure we were happy and had plenty of sauces. And, I'm happy to say, I brought home leftovers so I have another meal. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back.

Chef/Owner Paul has some good stuff here, man! Found this joint randomly whilst out running errands, and boy am I glad I did. Great meats, great flavor, GREAT portions! I'll be back again.

Several customers before and after my arrival all confirmed this was their first here. We all chose the pit master special, I ordered it with ribs tips, brisket, ribs, and chicken. The leftovers were diminished the following day. We each ordered other items on and off the mounted menu on the wall. I would skip the fries and corn bread next visit but definitely ordering the fried Okra again.

SO glad I found this place. I saw this place was near me in the northwest after my search for good BBQ places. I read some reviews and decided to try for a pretty decent sized catering order. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! OMG! Was this food amazing! Plus, the owner's backstory is incredible. Smoking meats over wood slowly makes this food incredible. I never review restaurants, but I had to share this spot with others. Definitely get the brisket and red beans and rice. The baby backs were amazing. The spicy sauce was SO very good. I'm at a loss for words. Our teens are planning a trip soon to try the catfish. You're stuck with us as a customer.

Amazing food! And even at the end of the day it was delicious! Their hours say until 8pm....but if they run out of items, or get very busy, they close slightly earlier than posted hours. We had the gumbo, ribs, tri-tip, brisket, side of beans, red beans and rice. All were delicious and can't wait to go back on a Friday. They have ox tail on Friday! Woot! Thank you, we will bee back.

We’ve been here a few times and have ordered the three-meat combo and the six-piece catfish more than once. Every single time, it’s been spot on! The catfish is always fried perfectly—crispy outside and tender inside. I’m picky about fries, and while they aren’t anything special, they’re never soggy, which I love. The brisket and catfish are my favorites. The brisket is always tender and juicy, full of flavor, and it never disappoints. My husband prefers the ribs, which have a great smoky flavor. The lemonade is really good, too—super refreshing! The customer service has always been consistently great. The staff is friendly and attentive every time we come in, which makes the experience even better. If you’re looking for a place with great brisket, perfectly fried catfish, and excellent service, this spot never misses.

Cool place the hotlinks and sides were FIRE the brisket & pulled pork was mid...the spicy sauce is really good tho. And those greens??? BOMB! I will be back .
