Mikeska's Bar-B-Q

It wasn't bad. I have the feeling it is mostly old people who go there, at least that's how it was when i went. Not really a fan of cafeteria style restaurants, and I am against hunting.

Good solid BBQ, but I would return just because of the owner! Handed the 2yr old in our party a $1 coin. Obviously loves kids and was super friendly and thanked us!

Traveling from Galveston back to San Antonio, we decided to stop by and try the barbecue.  We arrived at approximately 3:00 pm on Sunday afternoon.  There are a lot of taxidermied animals on the walls, to be sure.  My wife, son, and I decided to get the Sunday buffet.  The buffet consisted of a bread dressing of some type, pork, beef brisket, beef ribs, sausage, beans, corn, sweet potatoes, green beans, turnips, English pea salad and several other items.  

The brisket was moist and quite satisfactory as were the beef ribs.  I was not very impressed with the sausage.  It seemed a bit bland to me.  The barbecue sauce was fairly bland as well.  The barbecue beans were a bit salty and lacked the spice and zest one expects in good barbecue beans.  They weren't bad; I guess "mediocre" is the most apt description.  The coleslaw was okay, but in now way remarkable.  The potato salad was equally unremarkable.  If the peach cobbler had not become dried out from hours under a heat lamp, it probably would have been quite good.  

The dining room was dirty, and the teenagers working there seemed very unenthusiastic about working there.  There was trash (discarded paper towels and other items) on the floor that should have been  picked up but wasn't.

I guess if you're really hungry for meat on a Sunday afternoon and want to gorge on it alone, this is a serviceable place to do it.  However, any other day of the week, your time would be better spent going to Luling to the City Market.
