Texas Hold 'Em BBQ

After leaving the gym and in the need of some sustenance I visited Texas Hold 'Em BBQ. As you walk in it's a large room that isn't sectioned off like a lot of restaurants, I didn't see any booths just a 4 tops and one long family/large group table. I was greeted by the waitress and sat at the bar (directly next to the cake display showcasing the most humongous carrot cake.....EVA!!!)

I looked over the menu that was very straightforward; unlike most BBQ joints. I decided on the 1/4 chicken dark meat and rib combo platter with cole slaw and baked beans (with help from the very friendly waitress)

My food arrived quickly and since my hands were washed, napkin tucked into my shirt and paper towels to wipe up any foreseen messes; I dug in. It was over quickly, the food never stood a chance. I must say the food was great but the small amount of food for the price I paid ($16) wasn't really worth it IMO. I'll come back for sure but Texas Hold 'Em isn't going on my list for top value BBQ joints. Only because of the price

Well, I would love to give more than 3 stars.  I have been to this location a number of times and this was the worst of any of those visits.  Not sure what is going on with them.  I just saw that the downtown location was closed.  Arrived on a Saturday night at 7:15 and the place was basically empty.  Wow.

Ordered pulled pork and brisket combo.  The pork was pretty good, but the brisket was pretty dry and not all that tasty.  Side of mac and cheese and fries.  Fries were standard and mac and cheese was decent.

Portions were less than any other visit as well.  

Service was fine, except that she got my friend's order wrong, but ended up bringing his ribs.

Broken urinal in the men's room and it looked like it had been that way for awhile

I wish this place well, the food was excellent when they first opened, but I wonder if this really is a cursed location.

Great pulled pork sandwich! I have been there several times in the last few months...overall good food quality, their staff is really friendly, never had bad service here. Get up to leave and the waitress wanted to know if I wanted her to make me a sweet tea to go, was really nice of her, she already had her tip and bill was paid, just being nice! That goes a long way in a satisfied customer!
