BBQ on the Brazos, Cresson 4/24/24

sampled around 11:45 am

This was the second spot on our mini-daytrip and another good spot.  We have had their food many times at Red Dirt, Smoked Dallas, and the Texas Monthly BBQ festival, but this was the first time we have visited their location in Cresson.  It is attached to a Sunoco gas station which is easier to spot than the BBQ signs.  We got there about 11:30 am and found just a couple of folks in line ahead of us.  I ordered my usual Texas trinity and added the baked beans and mac and cheese as sides.

The food came out quickly and the brisket had some nice smoke flavor.  The ribs were of the dry rub variety and fell off the bone, literally.  I picked one up and half the meat fell off.  The sausage was pretty average and didn't have much spice for a jalapeno sausage.  The sides were pretty average, too.

About noon the line started to snake across the room and pretty soon it was a full house.  There was a lot of olive green clothing and ATF and Dallas Bomb Squad logos.  I suspect there is a training ground nearby and the guys were taking time off from their training to grab some Q.  I think they picked a good spot but I'm glad we got there just before they did!
