Yes, it IS a tourist joint - with special parking for tour buses and the whole bit. But the meat is good. I haven't been there enough times to give them an all around recommendation, but I regularly note their presence on "Best BBQ in Texas" lists. And I *can* vouch for the smoked mutton ribs, which are amazingly good. I had an out-of-body experience. David Throop
