Boomtown Bbq Company - College Station

The food here is honestly fantastic, but I felt it was a bit of a rip-off considering the portion sizes and prices. I spent $50 on three sides and a smoked meat dish, but I didn’t feel like I got my money’s worth.

The restaurant is located about half a mile from the on-ramp for Hwy 6, but by the time I reached the bridge, I found that 80% of my meal had gone out the window. What I had left consisted mainly of bread, onions, and pickles. The brisket sandwich I ordered felt more like a fat sandwich with a hint of brisket on it. I’m sure the meat itself might be decent, but I have to give this place a poor review because the person who served me clearly didn’t have the decency to provide actual meat. If he prefers fat, he should keep it to himself! Instead of a brisket sandwich, I ended up with a fat sandwich. While the staff was friendly, they really need to pay more attention to what they are serving.

Overall, I had a great experience – it was on par with, if not slightly better than, C&J. My only complaint was that the brisket was served cold. Perhaps it was due to our late arrival, but I really dislike cold food. The flavor was excellent; I had the spicy sausage, and my wife couldn’t stop praising the pulled pork sandwich. The temperature of my brisket was the only thing that prevented this from being a five-star experience. On the plus side, everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming.

The chopped brisket was flavorful and juicy, and the kind of wet mess that makes you feel good about yourself while eating it. The mac and cheese had a rich silky sauce that included stone ground pepper... That was a bonus.Unfortunately, it isn't a perfect world in B-BBQ. Their BBQ sauce was weak, tasting much like a thinned out sweet balsamic vinegar instead of a savory sauce. Similarly, their coleslaw tasted like it was literally only chopped cabbage with a touch of sugar water.I went there because the first time was a stellar experience. The ball was dropped on this one. Do better, you're supposed to be the good guys.

Best BBQ chicken I have had!! I don't know what the glaze was but it was so good! BBQ sauce was good not sweet and not spicy just the right balance. Fairly priced and service was great! Will come again!
