Texas Barbecue Part II

I was told the best barbecue joints will be found in gas stations. I was a little skeptical about this to say the least, but willing to give it a try. Some of the local guys that work here at Lonestar Jellystone Park told me to try Waller County Line BBQ. Its located at the intersection of US 290 and FM 362. That's right, in a gas station.

We got there about 1:15 in the afternoon and the place was packed. We walked in and saw a very long line that we of course got in. A large area beyond the line was the dining area packed in between the beer coolers and the bakery area. The menu was on a letter board above the deli area where you placed your order.

You then inched your way to the register counter where you could buy candy, cigarettes, pay for your order and pay for gas. All this took about 15 minutes. We made our way to a table, popped the top off of the Styrofoam container and was amazed how large our sliced beef sandwiches were. Barb decided right off a fork was needed, I felt the only way to eat this monster was pick it up and just go for it. Here's a tip. Every table has a whole roll of paper towels on it. You will need them. Trust me on this.

Outside to the side of the building is where the magic happens. Wood is stacked up and the smell is unbelievable. Two guys smoking all kinds of meat were hard at work keeping the deli counter stocked and two ladies inside filling orders just as fast as they were able.

Our sandwiches were hot and juicy, the meat was tender with a nice smoke flavor. the over sized bun was fresh.  Bottom Line on Waller County Line BBQ.  If you leave hungry, It's your own fault.  

I know this is only the second BBQ joint we've been to so far, but even Barb agrees Waller County Line BBQ was the best of the two. We will continue our search for great barbecue places as we get to travel a little while in Texas this summer.

Safe Travels and I Hope To See You Down The Road
