Baker's Brisket Company 7500 Lohman Ford Road, Lago Vista, TX 78645

"I've been in largo Vista for a month, and I wish I had visited Baker's Brisket earlier! My doodle and I visited them today. Their brisket and pulled pork are to die for! Amazingly soft, moist and flavorful, served by the most friendly and lovely couple I've met in a long time. I moved here from Austin, and I can say with certainty that their brisket - and service - are far better than Rudy's or Franklin's or Stiles Switch."

"The barbecue here is the real deal. I had the 2 meat plate with ribs, brisket, Mexican street corn, and beefy baked beans. The ribs were about as tender as they could be without actually falling of the bone and very juicy. The seasoning is perfect, just a smidge north of mild. The brisket was juicy with lots of flavor. Mexican street corn was really good, the sauce that they put on it explodes with flavor."

"We really, really wanted to love this place based on the reviews and the great customer service we received. The people were lovely and it was easy to place our order and pay. We got the sliced brisket sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, one meat plate (with sliced brisket and potato salad and Mexican street corn on the side, and an extra side of Mac and Cheese. The potato salad is hands down the best I’ve ever had. If I came back, the potato salad would be why. The Mac and Cheese was also quite good. The corn was incredibly disappointing. It was basically corn that looked like it had been grilled and then either steamed or sautéed. There was none of the usual topping (creama or cotija) and just no flavor. The corn itself tasted rubbery. The pulled pork was good, but not a standout. The brisket had a beautiful smoke ring but was very fatty. As someone who loves moist brisket, that’s not a problem for me. The issue is that the fat hadn’t rendered so it was thick and solid, making unpleasant lines between the chunks of lean meat. There was very little bark. I’m really hoping that we just caught them on a off day, because the other reviewers pictures look great and they seem to have had great experiences. Ours just fell flat. Except for the potato salad. That was heaven. It’s worth a trip on its own."
