Randy's Smokehouse Bbq - New Boston

We were drawn in by the excellent reviews and overall the food was very good lovely soft sweet pork rib, crispy freshly fried okra and great potato salad. However, the highly praised burnt ends are not burnt ends at all just dry brisket off cuts which we didn’t enjoy as they were so overcooked with no juicy fat and do not merit the $3 upcharge on a two meat plate. Wish we’d saved our money and just got hot links on the plate.

I had the chopped brisket sandwich and it was so tender and delicious, especially the sweet sauce. My husband got the burnt end plate and he enjoyed it with the hot sauce. We dined in and the service was good, very prompt and polite. The peach cobbler was good too. Definitely recommend when in the area!

Stopped here for lunch on our way out of Texas on a cross country road trip. Food was amazing and staff was extremely friendly. The owner Chris, came out and spoke with up. Offered us some recommendations for few other stops along our way. Also gave us some advice on places to avoid. Thank you Chris and staff for an amazing lunch.

Friday Night Foodies unite!!! This week we are hitting Randys Smokehouse BBQ! I was thinking what type of Texan foodie would I be and don't even have any of our local BBQ spots?! Plus, I got to run into Makenzie Plunkett and get a pic!!! ?? I got the rib plate. That's 5 full size ribs, two sides, and a drink with bread and veggies like pickles, jalapenos, etc. Firstly, I put BBQ sauce on one bite just to know what it tastes like and it was really good. I'm loving the spicy one in the red bottle. But, I am a firm believer that you don't need BBQ sauce for really good BBQ and this did not need it. The ribs actually melted in my mouth and fell right one the bone but, were firm enough to eat with falling apart in your hands. I really loved the seasonings. I had one rib that was thin on the top and the flavoring reminded me of peppercorn beef jerky. The okra was fresh and came out crispy with no slimey texture! I'm a huge okra fan so, this was exciting actually lol. The beans were loaded with flavor too. They are kind of hard to explain. It has their signature sauce flavor for sure but, they were sweet with that BBQ aftertaste. They also made fresh double chocolate cake and cookies but, I was full before I figured out lol. I know it was amazing though so I may stop in again and specifically eat a whole chocolate cake! Send help! The owners are our locals. I love that! I know there was a comment on one of my post saying that good things and character weren't important in these but, that's one of the biggest parts. I'm always authentic but, there are some places with amazing food that I will not make these posts for because I don't believe in the way they treat their employees, management style making an uncomfortable place for our people, funds being used in ways I don't believe are good for our community, etc. This is the beautiful thing about capitalism. We can support businesses or not. Its an ecosystem and we can control where the money goes. If I don't agree with stuff, I don't attack them though. I allow others to make their own mind up. With that being said, it's one reason I chose Randy's for this week. I've had multiple people message or catch me out in public and tell me about how loved they are by our people and how they are active in giving back and helping others. I've had the workers tell me how much they love being a part of it. Also, it's family owned and they use to have 3. It's an amazing thing to start a legacy and then, get your family involved to teach them and give them opportunities that the previous generation/s may not have started with. Overall, I loved the experience. Amazing people making delicious food. I sat there for quite awhile and you could tell a lot of the customers had a personal relationship with the staff. The ones that didn't were made to feel welcome and even though everything is laid out where you can get it yourself, they still asked everyone if they needed anything and made sure they were noticed. I def will be back! Also, I want to note the burnt ends were highly recommended. They have a unique way of making them so, if you like burnt ends then, def give them a try. I will probably try those next time I visit. Have a safe weekend, go out and live life and as always, Be good to each other! ????? #FridayNightFoodies #BBQ
