Baker Boys BBQ

I went through the drive thru on my way out of town during lunch.. Zero wait so that was good.. while I was on a BUDGET.. I splurged and I ordered a half of lb of brisket and was very disappointed. 3/4ths of it was squishy FAT. It wasn't "tasty bits" it was just FAT. I also ordered chop beef sandwich.. It was so dry I immediately got the hiccups Coleslaw and potato salad seemed like they were from a tub at a grocery store. Banana pudding seemed to be legit- It was really good. Needless to say- I will NOT be returning.

Was passing through Gonzales and decided to stop for bbq. Arrived about 230p and place was empty, must have just missed the lunch rush. The bbq smell when walking in was mesmerizing. Staff greeted us as we walked in. I got the 2 meat plate with brisket and pork loin with 2 sides of potato salad and green beans. Brisket was cooked perfectly, fork tender and juicy. Pork loin was just okay, as were green beans. Potato salad was creamy with a great mayo and dill pickle flavor. When in area will definitely stop again and try the sausage and ribs.

In my pursuit of visiting all of the Top 50, our travels led us to Baker Boys BBQ in Gonzalez, TX! Upon walking in, the ambiance was giving me old school mess hall military vibes which was perfect. I also want to comment on how friendly all the staff was too.Smoked sausage had very good flavor but something to note is it's the kind of smoked sausage that's in that tight kinda chewy casing and the meat inside was a little crumbly, not really emulsified all the way. The brisket was above average. Definitely worth a taste. The real stars of the show were the smoked chicken with its super crispy skin and moist meaty interior and the pork loin which was absolutely divine - damn near perfect. The only thing that was disappointing was the potato salad. Not saying it's Walmart potato salad, but it kind of tasted like it. Either way come and see for yourselves!

We've been coming to Gonzales for years for the Texas State Junior High Rodeo Finals and finally tried this place. Being from Llano (home of Coopers BBQ), we honestly don't try BBQ at many places when we travel. This place was REALLY GOOD. Nice restaurant, great service, huge portions, low price and most importantly- EXCELLENT TEXAS BBQ.You won't be disappointed!! Eat here now!

Come and taste it! You're instantly greeted with Texas history. The warehouse looking dining room is surprisingly cozy. The staff is attentive and very friendly. Great bbq, you won't regret a visit!

This used to be one of our favorite Texas BBQ places. The place is still clean and service is friendly. Unfortunately, the sausage was dry and the bread was stale. The banana pudding just isn't what it used to be. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and give it 4 stars. My previous visits were all 5 stars, but today was probably 2 or 3. Sadly, after this experience it's not worth driving out of my way for. There are too many other exceptional BBQ places nearby.

Eating BBQ in Texas. Once again Baker Boys BBQ in Gonzales Texas made the list!Went to Baker Boys BBQ on a Monday. Great day to drive and get some great BBQ. When driving to Baker Boys BBQ make sure to look for the white sign and the cannon. This place has a drive thru, eat inside dining room & eat outside also. Had a bit there and got some to bring home. Had some moist & lean brisket, some sausage along with some cheesy potatoes & 2 jalapeños. Arrived around 1pm and the place was a bit busy at drive thru but inside the line was short and fast. You order your brisket first then your sides then your others, onions, pickles, jalapeños. Please note they do charge for the jalapeños but the pickles and onions are complimentary. The place has a large dining room. And plenty of parking when you get there just follow the great smell of BBQ up to the front to place your order. Enjoy.

Unbelievable! The food was fantastic, so flavorful and cooked to perfection. Classic bbq set up long tables for big groups. I will be coming back!

I always think you should rate a place according to it's class. If you rate a fast food restaurant, I compare it to other fast foods. Not to fine dining. Similarly, when I rate a Texas Monthly Top-50, it should be the best of the best in Texas. Sadly, this place didn't come close.Don't get me wrong. The food was good. If I just pulled up or lived local, I would likely enjoy it. But my experience, it was definitely out of its league. I arrived at 1:30pm and there was no line. So perhaps I was there too late. Whatever, I call 'em as I see 'em.The place was ginormous and quite the operation. It was a huge metal building that had been turned into a BBQ joint. Even had a well defined drive in. When I came thru, more folks were doing the drive thru than coming in.I went with the two meat platter in order to surf around the options. For the first meat, I went with the brisket. NOT a Top anything there. I sadly didn't pick up any bbq sauce. Likely it would have helped a lot. The brisket was mildly smoky with way too much texture. The pork loin was almost unappetizing. It was very rubbery, chewy and was all I could do to gnaw it down. I tried one of the slices and then just quit.The sides started to redeem the place. I started with the green beans. Those are an all time favorite of mine. Always reminds me of home. This was almost like the ending of Ratatouille. Where the mouse brought the curmudgeon to his mom's cooking. I was instantly transported to Mom. Loved it and love her.The second side was the potato salad. Again, the sides kicked butt on the meats. Most potato salad is an amorphous mass of sameness. This was literally little cubes of potatoes, soft, wonderful starch surrounded by the normal potato salad mixings. It was truly unique that everything had it's own place in harmony rather than one same taste. You just have to trust me on this and go with it. It worked rather well.I finished off with a bit of pecan pie. I always joke that I've never met a pecan pie that I didn't like. This continued the trend of pecan pies that hit me just right. It wasn't anything to rave about, but if you want a solid pecan pie - this is it.Overall, if I lived local, I'd give it a shot again. However, definitely not a destination meal of the Texas Top-50's.

Texas BBQ served with a smile. A plate of Baker Boys brisket and sides will fill you up for the day. The meat was super-tender with great flavor. No need for sauce. The sides did not disappoint- Mac n cheese and green beans were a hit. If you're in Gonzales and in the mood for awesome Texas barbecue, Baker Boys is a great place to stop and feed the whole family.
