| Elgin sausage - heaven by the link! |
This homage to Texas Hill Country cuisine always serves
reliably great food. When you walk in the front doors, you’d think you landed
in the
‘Que
Quadrangle. The owner has toured
Texas extensively and tried to evoke a Texican Roadhouse / Smokehouse right
here in Johnson County. Cousins in
Luling and Lockhart won't recognize the elephant ear fans, but the Elgin
sausage will take 'em straight home. In spite of the homage to the Lone Star
State, the barbeque selections are pretty slight. Brisket, Dr Pepper Baby Backs, Elgin sausage,
turkey, and pulled pork comprise the list of 'Q. The rest of the menu is excellent, JoCo
froo-froo fare. I just wish the owner
had committed to a more thorough (and pure) barbeque line-up.
The Ranch House beans may be the only *pinto* beans served
in a BBQ joint north of the Red River (and they're cooked in beer, to boot!).
And as a man who has eaten well more than his share of chicken fried steaks, I
can safely say I’ve never had better.

As far a barbeque
joint, I can only give WilJenny’s THREE piggies.
