R Bar B Que

I understand that being a food joint in Sabinal, TX must be difficult. Wanting to serve authentic southern-style food but lacking the population of a thriving city to make a restaurant really take off... Having any successful business located in this once healthy and populated, now-abandoned, blink-and-you'll-miss-it speed trap on US 90 is difficult these days. But a little effort on R's part would really go a long way. Other than a few select menu items, most of what's served here is prepackaged, frozen, from a can, etc. Hardly any real "homemade" type cooking goes on here.

The lunch special can usually be trusted for a decent meal. And I'd stick to menu items that are based on the barbeque - it's not spectacular by any means, but again, decent. The rest of the menu is just too extensive for what little business this place gets. They really need to condense and just stick to a few things that they do moderately well instead of trying to appeal to every taste bud out there. I've heard reports that their enchiladas and sandwiches are alright. Just stay away from things like the burgers, chicken fried steak, chicken strips... they're all frozen.
