Whatever you are doing, it can wait. Grease coma will follow. more

This has got to be one of the top three bbq's I have ever had.....and I've had a lot. Pros: NO FORKS, FAST SERVICE more

Go here for some great barbecue in an authentic, down-home setting. The ribs here are some of the best I've ever tasted--same for the brisket and sausage. Go here early if you want some prime rib, though: Each time I've come here they were out of it. Sauce and sides are now available, but you still can't get forks. Pros: Great barbecue and old-timey ambiance. Cons: Regularly out of essential items (prime rib). more

I love Smitty's. The ambiance is great if you want to invite out of state guests to have a unique experience. Pros: BBQ, Ambience Cons: 30 minutes from Austin more

No sauce needed, tender, fatty, and smoky ribs! Possibly the best I've ever had. I've heard good things about Smitty's brisket but it may have been an off day when we went, because the brisket was rather dry. Sausage was loose and smokey and the casing was crisp, but could've used a bit of seasoning. Sweet tea was a good companion to wash all the meat down with. Pros: Great ribs, authentic old town atmosphere more

Walking into Smitty's is a treat in itself. Wow, what a place. The ambiance of the entryway is terrific. All old brick and wood. Step up to the old bbq and place an order. The dining area, however, was a let down. Sort of 50's diner style. But the food is what we're here for and they do it right. Just the right amount of seasoning. Know why they don't have sauce...cause they don't need it. Know why the meat is so moist...it's the fat and the fat is where the flavor is. Don't come here on a diet. Ribs were great. Brisket was very moist (extra fatty) and the sausages are to die for. Wish I could comment on the prime rib, but they got a late start cooking it and I couldn't wait another hour. But I'll be back. Pros: ambiance, great meat, cute cashier Cons: ugly dining room, small more
