Barbecue Station Restaurant

I was done with an appointment in the area right before 11 AM so I decided to pick up food at The Barbeque Station, located at 410 and Harry Wurzbach. It has been there forever and the character of the building shows it. You can smell the smoke of all these years permeate the walls. Not a fancy glass and stainless-steel kind of place.There was already a line at 11 AM and by the time I placed my order there were nearly 20 people queued up.I ordered a two-meat plate with lean brisket and turkey. I should add that the menu has different prices for the combo plate, depending on the two meats you choose. I like that. My combo plate came with two sides for $12.99 plus tax and tip. One of the more affordable places in the city. My two sides were potato salad and jalapeño Mac and Cheese. Portion sizes rival other places charging nearly $20 for a plate.You can see in the photo that both the brisket and turkey were moist and not dried out. Both had a nicely seasoned bark. One of the few places where I could honestly skip the sauce because the meat is so flavorful. But the sauce is so good. Runnier than most, served warm, with a nice balance of acidity from the vinegar and sweetness from brown sugar probably.The potato salad had good flavor, but was too much like mashed potatoes to be my favorite. The jalapeño mac and cheese was the star. The macaroni was perfectly cooked and not much like other places. The cheese sauce was creamy and had a little kick from the jalapeños.

Lack of food last 3 visits! No chicken, man-n-cheese. Only dry brisket.... Seriously??!?!?!? Peacocks need to get better, staff is great owners are not!! Have enough food for your customers!!!!

Staff at counter were rude, food was OK. Brisket was dry , the sausage and Mac were good. Beans had no flavor

Just arrived here from California. I was excited to taste some Texas BBQ. Unfortunately I was disappointed as the meat was so salty. Everything we had ordered was so salty keep in mind I like salty food but this guys here be doing too much.

I’ve had just about all the meats, except for the beef ribs. Pork is awesome brisket, chicken, turkey sausage I’m not really too fond of the sides. I kind of wish it was more soul food like greens that type of thing. And I did not care for the potato salad too mushy and odd tasting. You can tell it’s pure love being put on the grill they may not do greens because people always have an opinion about the greens. My mom did it this way my grandmother did that way all I know the southern way with barbecue potato salad and greens
