I would eat banana peels and Dixie cups if they had this stuff on them. As for the meats, it's a toss-up if they're actually going to be good quality. Now, when the restaurant had just opened, I feel like they did a better job back then. They're still great! Sometimes, for examy, I'll order a barbeque chicken plate and the chicken will not have a lot of meat and will be chewy. Then, the next time I won't be able to finish the tender chicken breast I ordered. So, it's kind of inconsistent. But like I said, slather that sauce on it and you won't care. Lol! I'm not too fond of the managers or most of the staff, though. I hate to say that, but some of the staff just seems inattentive and rude. I've also heard many stories of the managers mistreating employees or just generally not behaving kindly. However, most of the staff is friendly and kind and can keep up with your needs as a customer. Just be prepared to have a server who comes off as indifferent and slow-moving. The atmosphere is totally where it should be, though! I love the plaster that's left clinging to the bare bricks inside. Perfect aesthetic for a BBQ place! I hope they never plaster over that stuff! And the decorative stuff on the walls is also interesting. I really do hope they never change that.

Just by the number of locals walking in at lunch. The locals know where good food is at for lunch. We weren't disappointed. Very friendly staff and the food was very good. The menu is very diverse with something for everyone. Take time to get off the highway, pass up those fast food chains and check out some local flavor. Love the name on the outside of the building connected to Presley's its the Hinke Dinke building. Looked it up and it was a food store back in the 50's.

I had the ribs and brisket with curly fries and potato salad. Having eaten Texas BBQ in Austin and Lockhart (BBQ capital of Texas), unfortunately, Presley's BBQ falls way short of expectations. The brisket was very dry and the minuscule ribs were not fall off the bone. However, Presley's BBQ sauce was delicious, so it compensated for the lack of moisture and tenderness in the meats. The crispy curly fries were seasoned well and the potato salad was just right not over the top and not too dry. I did end up spending over $15 dollars for below average BBQ and delicious sides, but I will definitely come back and try other things at Presley's.
