This is definately not your typical city barbecue place. No, it’s more like a down-a-country-road barbecue place located in rural Somervell County Texas, and just close enough to Glen Rose to call it home. Started by a family with a long history in the barbecue business; cold beer, great barbecue, irregular business hours; a true classic among eclectic Texas barbecue joints.

Don’t let appearances or the location fool you, this place is a popular road trip destination for folks out riding the country roads of Somervell County.

Big Rocks Park in Glen Rose Texas has been a popular hangout for a long time. As the name says, there are big rocks, result of some geologic event thousands of years ago, that I completely don’t understand.
