Sunday, December 27, 2009: Burnet Feed Store BBQ (Burnet, Texas)

Over the holidays, Todd, Jason, Amir, and John hit up Burnet Feed Store BBQ, after hitting some golf balls. Here are emailed reviews from Todd and Jason and scores from all 4:

Todd: “While Burnet Feed Store may not be the best BBQ in central TX, they are certainly on the right track. The location (right off US-281) can't be missed and is a great looking and rather large building, heck even John Wayne graces the lobby! They have a good selection of meats and sides complimented with 4 types of cobblers, that's right 4 types! I personally think the pricing is a bit high, but that's just one opinion. This place is a solid BBQ place, can't wait to see where it goes. Make sure you visit the outhouse when visiting.”

Jason: “This place is solid! Moistest brisket of 2009!!! No joke! 10 for tenderness of the moist brisket! By far the juiciest, and moist brisket I've had all year! This place is a sleeper. The taste of the brisket was a little bland, but the moistness made up for it! The BBQ sauce they have was nice and tasty, tangy BBQ sauce! Pork ribs were chewy but not in a bad way, gave it character. I enjoyed very much, def rivals any of the other top pork rib places. Turkey was also excellent. Good flavor, and not rubbery. Moist and tender! I will come here again!!!”
