Pioneer BBQ

Super tasty!!! Brisket had perfect bounce and bark was amazing! I will remember this place when I drive through again!

This is my second review of Pioneer BBQ. I give the food high ratings; I have never been disappointed in the food.There is one thing I severely dislike about Pioneer BBQ. There are not adequate restrooms for customers. IF, and note I said IF they let you use the restroom you have to walk THROUGH the kitchen to the restoom in the back. It is an awkward situation and feeling to have to walk through the kitchen to use the restroom. It just does not feel right. I'm not sure this situation would meet health codes or not; I think not.The last time I was in Pioneer and asked one of the owners to use the restroom. I had go in a very urgent way. She told me I could not use the restroom. I explained I had to go in an urgent way she suggested I go literally 3 blocks down and use Dairy Queen's restroom; unacceptable...and it is that far. If I were Dairy Queen I would not want another business routing people to my business to use the restroom.And I like to wash my hands before eating and after if need be; to do that you have to walk through the kitchen into the back. I don't like that.I used to eat at Pioneer very often; I have not been back since the above incident. And when I went to Pioneer BBQ I always spent 50-80 bucks because I like to take extra food home for later.I really liked the food at Pioneer, but the restroom situation is unacceptable. Doubt I will ever return to Pioneer BBQ.

Yummy! My SIL and I stopped in for lunch! Made me love white chicken meat again! So juicy and tender! She had ribs and they were awesome: juicy and tender! Best thing here, tho -that sauce!! The bbq sauce was delicious! We also had the firecracker corn, beans and potato salad - all exceptional! We love supporting local, and these folks seem to work hard and epitomize the goodness of the community! When there is a one year old getting fed this food by his momma and all you hear for ten minutes is "mmmmmmm" " mmmmmm" you know it's gotta be good!

I love the food at Pioneer. Shawn and Amy are so welcoming that It's hard to just go in and just get your food to go. The atmosphere in there and the the regulars keep you there talking forever. And Peach Cobbler and the sweet tea are must haves!

Stopped in for lunch. Ordered the chopped beef and spicy slaw. This was a great combo. Well worth the stop. We will be back.

Wonderfull hole in the wall BBQ shack! Great smokey brisket, proper sauce, nice spicy slaw all followed by peach cobbler. If you are passing thru Nixon, stop in.

Giving this place a 1 star for the service.. I have been stopping here for a few years and have never received bad service until this past Thursday. We always stop here to get food for my dad. I asked the young lady behind the counter if she would please wrap the food in foil and she rudely said she was going to put it in a bag. I told her I had a ways to go and asked her again if she could just please put it in foil. Told her there was never an issue before and she again told me she would put the bbq and the sides in a bag.. at that point I told her ring me upI just wanted to continue with my destination.. Pioneer you need to train your staff not to be so rude with your customers!!!

Had the brisket tacos. The brisket was certainly juicy and the taco toppings were a good addition. Next time I may get a side of a sauce. I think that would have been the missing piece for me personally. NOTE: These 2 tacos were packed with brisket on decent sized tortillas. Thanks y'all, see ya soon

My husband and I were driving from Georgetown down to Port Aransas. It was 1:30 pm and were hungry. We were approaching Dixon, TX and I used Yelp to find a place to eat Lunch. We decided to stop at Pioneer BBQ. It was fantastic!! The owners sat down at table next to us and tried to eat their lunch, after serving us. I had a monstrously big, juicy brisket sandwich. The sauce was great! He had a rib plate. He said it was "some of the best ribs" he had ever had. The side of spicy slaw is a must. Unfortunately, I was too full to get the cobbler, but it looked delicious. The building is located along the main drag of a very small town and I guess you could call it a hole in the wall. We call it a treasure of a find and we'll be back on our next trip to Coast.

Brisket tasted like it was boiled. No smoke flavor and dry.Sausage was ok, beans were good, and the firecracker corn was good.
