I live down the road from the BBQ center of the universe, Lockhart, Texas and believe I know something about good tasting BBQ. I got a 3 meat plate of moist brisket, ribs and jalapeño cheese...

History
Bare Bones opened its doors in February 2015 with a desire to serve the community and our military with the best Texas Style Barbeque possible. Being near the Ft. Hood Military reservation, we have made it our goal to make regular customers out of folk who may not have been to Texas before. Much less, taste our great way of cooking beef, pork, and chicken.
Specialties
Here at Bare Bones Barbeque, we specialize in fresh smoked meats and handmade sides. All of our meat is covered with our house-made seasoning, and slow-smoked with local Pecan wood. We also specialize in homemade, grandma style desserts (made with LOVE), such as cobblers and candy bar cakes. Another practice we have mastered is the art of making sausage. Our mild, garlic,jalapeno cheese, and jalapeno sausage is all cut, ground, stuffed and rolled by hand, in house.

They don know what spice is. more watered down than creamy. probably not actually barbecued because there was no smoke ring. overpriced and over rated. do not recommend for anyone with taste buds!

At 22 dollars a pound bare bones bar b q is the most expensive kibble in the land for a so called brisket that smells like heated up pedigree dog food. Potato salad was great,pickles were great...

If the owner spent more time at his restaurant than defending his reviews, he might have a better restaurant. The food is bland at best. Mac and cheese is watery, cole slaw isn't seasoned at all....
See a problem?
