Hammond's B-B-Q

"I have been visiting Hammonds for over a decade (and I'm considered a newcomer) and I absolutely love the quality, quantity and taste of their BBQ. There's a new pit-master at Hammonds (2024) and you can tell that he loves what he does. The ribs are meaty, flavorful and filling. The choice of sides are awesome and every once in a while they surprise their guests with off-the-menu options that are yummy - like the Dillo-bites shown in the picture with spicy ranch sauce. Whether you're driving through town or looking for a cute place for friends and family, this is definitely it."

"Let me start by saying the waitress, Brittany, was fantastic. She was polite and greeted us with a warm smile. The atmosphere was rustic and fun. On to the food. Where are these people getting "melt in your mouth brisket" from? This was the most dry and flavorless brisket I have ever had. I ordered lean as usual and requested specifically that the fat not be cut off, but that's what I got. My coworker ordered moist, guess what, his fat was cut off too. They don't know what they're doing as far as the brisket goes. His moist looked exactly like my lean. Like the cutter didn't know what to do and grabbed both of our orders from the store bought Jack Daniel's brisket you reheat in the microwave. I will not be coming back here, go to Sonic down the street. You will get better food there. The okra was OK, the coleslaw not so much. Do better, be better. That is all...."

"Man what a huge disappointment todays dinner was. We have been coming to hammonds for a very long time and have never ever had a bad bbq plate or service. Today I received both. I ordered the rib basket as always with a baked potato. Ribs were cold to the touch and my potato was not fully cooked. We only saw the waitress 1 time after receiving my food, I told here I was very surprised the ribs were cold as I’ve always had great experience. She explains they have new cooks and would microwave the ribs for me. I made the mistake and told her that’s fine. When she brought the back out they were smoldering hot and way over cooked chewy at this point. Just smiled and said thank you. As I go up to pay for my meal the lady at the cashier desk was sucking on a sucker and never asked me how I was doing or how my food was which they ALWAYS do but not this time. I’m not the one to raise a problem but I would have explained to her my frustration today. $60 we spent and not a soul asked us how we were doing or how the food was. Guess we will not drive 45 minutes Ike way to go to Hammonds anymore. Sad deal I’ve loved this place the last 30 times I’ve been here and 1 bad experience can ruin it for life. So weird not a soul checked on us but 1 time, never even came back to see if the ribs were better."

"Ohhhh where to start... well the brisket was so dry I almost choked trying to get it down and had ZERO bark it's like they cut it off or don't know how to smoke a brisket correctly... the sides were mediocre added salt to the beans and green beans the waitress Britt made the experience manageable but if you're a brisket person like I am I'd say pass on this place check my other reviews I've been to some of the best spots in Texas"

"Bar far the best barbecue we had on our trip to Texas. The walls were decorated with cute signs and memorabilia. The tables are red picnic tables. Our waitress was fabulous. She helped us decide what to order. I had a chopped brisket filled baked potato. My husband had a sample plate. Absolutely everything on the plate was delicious, but we both agreed the chopped brisket was the best. I was stuffed, but my husband ordered the apple cobbler with ice cream. It was served hot and tasted like it was made by my grandma. Best lunch in a long time. So glad we stopped!"
