Texas Stockyards BBQ

[wendyquat]

Tried this new restaurant tonight after a favorable review on another thread. Having made many trips to Texas and eating a lot of bbq, I gotta say this place comes close. DH had beef brisket, western beans and coleslaw and I tried both wet and dry ribs, twice baked potatoe and slaw. We both really enjoyed everything. Was probably the best ribs I've had anywhere. FYI, there are a lot of "spicy" choices and these do run a bit on the hot side (which pleased DH). The twice baked potatoe seems to be a potatoe casserole made from baked potatoes. Delishous!

Portions are ample and we did bring a box home for lunch tomorrow. Iced tea was good and their yummy bread is homemade!

The place was full but service was good. My fear is they are not going to be big enough to handle the crowd!

Where is it? A google search didn't turn up anything.

we felt the same about the size of the restaurant, will probably out grow this location soon. And yes the texas baked beans were too hot for me! They said soon they will have regular bbq beans

Took my family to dinner at Texas Staockyards BBQ tonight. We arrived at 8:30, the food tasted like it was just made. I think it was....Wonderful, meat was tender, ribs fall off the bone, REAL turkey breast just melted in your mouth. After speaking to the owner found out that all meat is FRESH never frozen, all sides are homemade. Even homemade bread. Delicious...Scrumptous and more than you can eat. 3 out of 4 of us brought home boxes....Much better than any of the "other" so called BBQ places around.

Mr.Mac9 and I had lunch there today. We had wet ribs, dry ribs, brisket and turkey. The meats were delicious, heavily smoked. The sides were roasted corn, fried okra, western beans and mac n cheese. The first 3 were delicious, but the mac was a little too floury for me.
That's the good part. Service was not so good. Waited 20 minutes for waiter to take our drink order...another twenty for the food order. Our waiter was the bartender, took take out orders, and ran the register. There were 3 waitresses, but we were not in their area. Hopefully, it is because they are new. We asked to see the manager to give him a heads up on the service problem. Our waiter was also the manager! Again, the food was superb and very reasonably priced. They are heads over Sonny's, but we still ove the baby backs at Oakwood. Only regular ribs at Stockyards, no baby backs.

I went last night and they were pretty busy. No beers on tap, but plenty of bottled beers. I had the 2 meat platter with 2 sides ($12.99). I got the sliced brisket (excellent) and the wet ribs (pretty good and lots of meat on the bones). For the sides I got the fried sweet corn and the twice baked potato (both were great). I ordered it with their spicy sauce which lived up to it's name. Friendly service, even though they were running around like crazy. I am definitely going back!

They are working the bumps out. Hopefully when they see how buisness is they'll have extra workers on. I understand he has another one in Texas.

Do they have beef ribs? Living in Memphis over 11 years I've been very deprived. :mmmm:

I was told that they would be expanding their menu at the grand opening.

[wendyquat]

I did not see beef ribs on the menu but they sure had some good beef brisket!

[Bill32]

Went there again today, had the sweet wet ribs, very good also the peach cobbler desert was very good. My only disappointment is that I was informed that they will only have their spicy ( HOT!) baked beans and only plain white or wheat braed, not Texas toast :( , unfortunately for us a shame. Also I would think the beans would be too hot for 90% of the " village people" Their reasoning was to keep it just like the other location in Texas. We will go back to Oakwood for now and try Texas again in a few months. Don't get me wrong, it's very good give it a try.

[wendyquat]

Different strokes for different folks Bill! My husband loves the hot beans! Not me but then again I shy away from any beans!

[Carla B]

We had the smoked chicken and the dry spicy ribs. Everything has a deep, smoked flavor. Loved the spicy beans, too, but we're Texans. The cheddar jalapeno bread was great, too. Will definitely go back.

[trichard]

Where on 441 is this place located?

[Carla B]

If you are southbound on 441, pass 466 in Lady Lake. It is at the next light on the right-hand side, southwest corner of the intersection. It used to be the location of the "Silver Cricket."

Went there last night. Service was great! Food was even better. Excellent brisket.
Eight people in our group and zero complaints. No beer on tap so had a bottle of Shiner Bock. Shiner, Texas memories returned! Not as fancy as Lopez but we loved it. Prices were moderate to cheap. (except that NO bottle of beer is worth $3.25)
Located just south of Par Car dealership in Lady Lake.

We ate there and thought it was awful. The beans were so runny. The was just so so and only had four ribs I didn't think the bread was that good

Welcome to TOTV, first time poster.

I see this is your first post. If you're new, go south on 441 a little further and try Oakwood.

Also ate there for the first time. Biggest + is the baked potato. The Brisket was quite dry, the Prime Rib overcooked and no Baby Backs on the menu. Turkey sandwich was totally too smoky tasting. Lots of food for the money but not great. From your comments, glad I didn't try the beans.

Can't tell a whole lot about restaurant from reviews posted on TOTV. Many people here are less than discriminating when it comes to food.

[Finallyfree]

We have eaten there several times and have never been disappointed. It is a family owned business that has excellent food for the money. Their beans are Texas style which is not as dry as most and the spice is great. If you go back try the deviled:duck: eggs, yummm. We will be going back, love it. Maybe it was just an off day when you went.:a040:

[graciegirl]

Thanks Wendy for the good review. We will try it!:coolsmiley:

I think a more accurate description is that people (everywhere) have different tastes.:) It's what makes the world go 'round.

Good barbecue (or any other food for that matter) is a very subjective call. Texas barbecue and Carolina barbecue aren't even close to being the same. Texas barbeque is beef centered while in the South, Pork rules. Texas sauce is a tomato base and Carolina sauce is a mustard base. Texas Stockyard's owners are from Houston near the Louisana border and they have a Cajun kick to their seasonings. When we ate at Texas Stockyards the service was extremely friendly and prompt. The food was good though I didn't love their sauce. I'm sure thr sauce was "good", just not to my taste. Being a Texas girl who has lived in the deep South most of my life, I have enjoyed many different types of barbecue but gotta admit brisket in a tomato brown sugar sauce is my favorite. Now that you have had you barbecue lesson du jour, give Texas Stockyards a try.:icon_hungry::icon_hungry::mmmm:

Yes, Yes, Yes.....Beef ribs wanted. Please tell us where.

:bigbow:

[Finallyfree]

441/27 just south of 466

going away from the villages make a right on 441, it is the second light I believe on the right. Big sign says Texas Stockyards and there is always a full parking lot. Enjoy!

As you can tell from my screen name, I am a BBQ fanatic. As others have noted there are different styles of BBQ in different parts of this country. I grew up in Kansas City and had my first BBQ sandwich at Arthur Bryant's following a Kansas City Blues baseball game. Incidentally, baseball in Kansas City was a lot more fun to watch and much more affordable with the Blues than it ever was with the A's or the Royals. My dad could afford to take the both of us via streetcar to the Blue's games and even have a sandwich afterwards at Bryant's. No way at major league prices.

Kansas City BBQ has long held the position of being the overall best in the nation. It includes pork, chicken and beef. There is a reason why Kansas City BBQ Society judges are both the most respected and the most accepted in the United States.

As to Texas Stockyards BBQ, it is traditional Texas. It is focused on beef and does a great job with brisket. It's pork, chicken and beans leave at lot to be desired. This is OK. The place is Texas BBQ - it does that well.

After all that leaden, I have a question - has anyone had there Saturday night prime rib?

As a Memphis native and MIM BBQ judge I respectfully differ with the first paragraph, but agree completely with the Texas Stockyards review.

Wish we had a good joint from either city here.

Maybe a cook off between BBQ and Ragman is in order. :beer3:

Bump new specials coming out tomorrow in the daily sun.
