They serve the best beef in Texas. However, after I ordered a rack of ribs, two pounds of sliced beef, two pounds of sausage, a pint of beans, and a pint of potato salad, I inquired about a military or senior discount. The staff member looked at me as if I were out of my mind and didn't say anything—just took my payment. No discount was offered, so I decided not to leave a tip.

The brisket was dry, fries were not available, potato salad and beans were not very good.

Order at the counter, sit down, and enjoy your meal! It's more like a feast! The ribs are delicious, the sausage is great, and the brisket is moist and not greasy—so yummy! And don’t forget the beans; I could easily take a gallon home with me! If you find yourself passing through and feeling hungry, just stop and eat here—you definitely won't regret it!

The food here is consistently delicious, and the service is quick. I ordered a ribs platter accompanied by beans and coleslaw, and it was fantastic. As for parking, there is ample space available on U.S. Highway 80 in Marshall, Texas, especially during non-peak hours.
