4.5 Stars! Based on the type of place it is...diner-like.Hubby & I both had the Brisket platter. His with beans and fries, mine with fried okra and potato salad. We split a peach cobbler because they had no banana pudding. Servings of all were generous. Be sure to ask for extra sauce.1) BBQ Sauce--this is Super important, the Most important ingredient IMHO. I'm 100% Texan, NOT Southern. RJ's BBQ Sauce walks a very fine line between the rangy vinegar based Texas BBQ and the Sweet Memphis style Sauce. It's both. (I'd like it better without the sweet but I could eat it and not be umhappy).2) The Brisket-- just the way Brisket ought to be. Enough smoke flavor. AND a Generous serving (in my picture I ate a slice before I remembered trouble snap it).3) The Sides - Pinto beans were just good ol' plain beans. They had a bit of cumin but not a lot.Crinkle fries really cannot go wrong on these.Potato salad was, IMHO, annhh. Mayonnaise, a bit of mustard for color and potatoes. I saw what seemed to be bits of pickles but didn't taste -em. Luckily hubby gave me his onion.Peach Cobbler was very Cinnomon-y. I'm not crazy about that but Hubby was. Darn good Cobbler.One surprise was the Lemonade Tea. Yummy, on the lemony side. (They do not have plain tea, sweet or unsweet.) Sodas are in plastic bottles, not fountain drinks.4 Service-- friendly, timely, and helpful. He appeared genuinely happy we were there.

Today I learned that it's possible to make objectively bad BBQ ribs . Imagine everything you like about barbecue, then imagine the opposite: chewy, stringy meat that clings to the bone like a man fighting for his life. It's actually depressing to imagine a tourist going to RJs to experience Texas BBQ.

I saw a post on fb advertising shrimp tacos and I instantly got up and headed there to lunch ! They offered me a sauce to add to it and it made it 10xs better than it already was. The atmosphere was great, front service was great and the tea was good!!

The chicken tenders are insanely delicious. Texas gold is my favorite flavor but all the sauces i’ve tried have been great.

Wings were fresh and perfectly sauced and the tots were also nicely seasoned. 10/10! #

I just had dessert, but it was seriously some of the best peach cobbler and banana pudding I've had at a restaurant. I'll definitely be back for everything else on the menu.

I've been a fan of this BBQ since they catered my college graduation in 2005! Since the change in ownership, it seems like the food is just not as good, as much as it pains me to say. The past few times, I have not been satisfied for the price that I pay, but I'm a firm believer in second chances.On my last visit, I order the two meat plate. I asked for dark meat, since the white meat was dry the last time I ordered. Unfortunately, the dark meat was dry too. I ordered brisket as the second meat and it was extremely salty. I'll likely give them a try again, but it'll be awhile.
