Description

Nestled in a small town, this grill restaurant showcases a mix of experiences that reflect its potential but also its inconsistencies. While some patrons rave about the tender meats, handcrafted baked potatoes, and friendly service, others express disappointment over long waits, unbalanced dishes, and overlooked orders. The extensive menu seems to overwhelm the kitchen, leading to uneven quality. However, loyal customers appreciate the standout sides, like BBQ baked beans and unique salads, while savoring the relaxed atmosphere. Overall, the restaurant could thrive by honing its BBQ focus and streamlining its offerings to better align with its dedicated customer base.

Here, both the woman and I were pleasantly surprised by our order. The BBQ baked beans, green beans, potato salad, ribs, sausage, and brisket were all delicious! Even the tea was perfectly sweetened. I wish I had saved room for dessert. I'm looking forward to our next visit!

This grill restaurant is excellent! I highly recommend the A La Carte option with the brisket and rib. Also, the pulled pork sandwich is fantastic. The service was friendly and efficient, too!

It was a disappointing experience overall. There was a long wait, and they somehow forgot about my order. When the sandwiches finally arrived, they had all the toppings I specifically didn’t request. My baked potato was covered in cheese and ended up being too dry. I expected much better than this.

Of course I love Hinze’s bar-b-que. I grew up living next to the Hinze family. I remember the day in their backyard barbecuing when Mrs. Hinze said to Mr. Hinze “maybe we should open a barbecue place” and the result was the Barbecue Hut behind the Dairy Freeze. When they opened on the highway, I was one of their first cooks while I was in High School. What a great family and nothing tastes as good as Hinze’s Bar-B-Que.

I was in Wharton from Galveston for a birthday party, and we decided to stop here for lunch on the way. All I can say is wow. You can tell a place is great when it's filled with locals right after church, but I was totally unprepared for the barbecue that melts in your mouth and the homemade macaroni that makes you wonder if your grandmother had somehow come back to life just to whip up lunch for you. It's that good!
