Bashful Bandit Barbecue

We gave Bashful Bandit a try as I wanted something to go for Superbowl Sunday which happened to fall on my birthday, and it was excellent. We placed a phone order for a pound of sliced prime brisket (half moist and half lean), a pound of green chile pulled pork, a pound of smoked mole chicken, four chili relleno sausage links, a quart of mac-n-cheese, a quart of the dill potato salad, and a pint of the borracho beans. Everything was correct when we arrived for the pickup. The food was flavorful, and my favorites were the mac-n-cheese and the chili relleno sausages. I recommend the Bashful Bandit!

This is a great spot for good Texas style barbecue! Upon entry, you're greeted with a large menu on the wall and a line to order your meats and sides-- Chipotle style! The staff is super friendly and they gave us great recommendations. As for the food, it was all super tasty! The brisket melts in your mouth, and do not miss out on the sausage because it packs a punch. As for the pork rib, it literally fell apart when I picked it up. The sides were solid, and i definitely recommend getting the Mac and Cheese.The only downside is their sauce selection. This is subjective, as I didn't enjoy how sweet all of the BBQ sauces were. But that's just me!

I'm not a big bbq eater, but I enjoyed a meal here. I generally like a white coleslaw, but the sunflower salad slaw was good and interesting. We ordered some brisket and they offer both sliced and chopped, but didn't ask and they immediately chopped it - if you prefer sliced, make sure to say that first thing. I really like the space though with loads of covered outside seating, plenty of inside space, a drink station and a sauce bar. I would love to come again with a group to munch and play cards.

We headed here a couple of hours before the main dinner hour, to enjoy a beer on a sunny Sunday, but couldn't resist digging in for a big meal. Creating a flight of bbq sauce really made my day, and it was nice to be asked about what chicken parts I preferred. Such a fun place to watch the bbq pit in action, nosh the delicious goods (including that famous crack pie), and enjoy live music on the spacious, comfy patio -- a relaxing vibe all the way, with friendly service and great food.

The bbq was just ok- our food was pretty cold and the meats were seasoned fine. Maybe the food would have been better if it was hot. The sides were also just ok. The one thing I really liked was the crack pie- but I also wish it came warm and with some ice cream. The ambiance of the restaurant is cool. Their outdoor space is shaded with twinkle lights. It seems like you can reserve the big tables for parties as well.

Juicy, moist, and delicious brisket and pulled pork. Vinegar slaw which they call sunflower crunch salad (note: make sure to get the toppings added to the salad to give it some great texture). I found the potato salad ok but not my favorite. The dill in it is a nice touch.Plenty of parking available and lots of seating inside or outside front patio. I love their bbq sauce station. Several choices of homemade sauces. I was enjoying the OG sauce.They have a bar as well. Prices are in line for a good bbq joint.I love seeing the smokers when you first walk in.Definitely will recommend this place!

The meat was delicious, we ordered four different meats and also their Cole slaw and potato salad as well as macaroni and cheese. It reminded us of the South Carolina barbecue we use to it. Definitely recommend it

I love bbq and was really excited to try Bashful Bandit. I tried their brisket (fatty option), pork rib, and chile relleno sausage with sides of dill potato salad and mac n cheese. Everything was good and fresh. The sausage and brisket were juicy and tender, but the rib was a little dry. I love potato, but there was too much dill for my liking. The mac n cheese was soft, creamy and cheesy. The sausage had a crisp outer skin, but the meat was too soft for my liking. I prefer to have more chew, but not to the point where the meat is overcooked/well done. I think I would have liked the lean brisket instead, due to the tenderness of the fatty meat. Anyhow, the portions were quite large and I had more than enough bbq meat for the next day. Honestly, I think it all tasted even better the next day. The meats had the perfect consistency for me, not too soft and not well done. The mac n cheese's cheddar flavors were even stronger than the day before. It was all a great meal, the 2nd time around. :)*Although I didn't taste it, my husband said the bbq jackfruit (and mushrooms) was overly smoked which took over any other flavors there might have been.

Bashful Bandit is in my opinion the best BBQ in town. The staff is great, always very helpful. This is a legit BBQ spot!! This building has some stories from when it was a biker bar and sounds like even before that too. They did a nice job remodeling the place and by keeping one wall original, even with the bullet holes

The smoked meat was great the sides and the bbq not so much . The Mac and cheese was processed tasting not homemade and the beans were ok . The food was warm not hot . It was okay
