5 Stars for BBQ at a TRUCK STOP??? You betcha! My daughter and I were driving through Texas on our way back home in San Diego when we happened to stop at this place for gas. We went inside to check out the jerky to take home to my son and that's when things starting going wacky... In my experience you DO NOT eat at truck stops. Oh sure, I know people who swear by breakfast here and there, but a big greasy breakfast is not my thing so I politely nod and don't make any suden moves around people who claim that truck stop food could be anything less than gross.

So! Back to the Twilight Zone in Texas. We walk in and the jerky looks good, if you like that sort of thing. The nice boy behind the counter offered us some tastes, and before you know it I'm spending a small fortune on really good, though incredibly expensive dried meat to take home to my son, who raved over it. All the while, this smokey meaty smell is talking to me real sweet like. MmmmmmMMM! So, I says to my daughter, real cautious like, what do you think about eating here? She looks at me like I just sprouted wings and a pig snout! (I would do the same if it weren't for that smell!) So I checked it out here on Yelp. I read one review from Leslie W. who said, "Texas Barbecue at a truck stop? Absolutely!" and it was a done deal.

She got the beef with some sides, I don't know, maybe dried crickets for all I could tell because on my plate I had the amazing good smokey juiciness that is Texas Best's BBQ turkey. That's Mr. BBQ Turkey to you. If BBQ can get better I don't know how. That turkey was smokey without loosing any of the turkey flavor or a single drop of juice. The spicy (I don't mess with BBQ sauce that doesn't bite me back) BBQ sauce was perfect with a nice bite and not too sweet. And the turkey stood up to that spicy sauce without a problem. I could go on about the awesome BBQ turkey, but I can't forget the sides either. Being from California, I tend to snear at produce from the east. Now I know this is NOT the east, but being that we were on a cross-country trip that started in Northern Massachussetts where green is not a color you put in your mouth, I wasn't too hopeful for my broccoli salad, which I assumed would mostly taste like mayo, or even my tomato and cucumber salad... but I should have known! The broccoli salad was excellent. Not sweet at all, which is usually what stops me in my tracks with this salad. I really thought I would be throwing it away, but I ate every bit. The cucumber and tomato salad was good too. Not much to mess up here, but the tomatos were good and ripe and the cucumbers had taken up enough of the vinegary sauce to make them really tasty.

IF, I ever go back through here (BIG IF, but everything's bigger in Texas, so who knows?) I would definitely make a point of stopping in here again.

Did I mention the very clean bathrooms with the cool trough sink? Always a plus while traveling!
