A & A Bar-B-Que 3404 7th Street, Bay City, TX 77414

"I absolutely felt out of place coming to this area as well as coming to this restaurant. People stared at us as though we didn't belong there. The atmosphere was very cold, and no one greeted us. We felt rushed to order our food. No one thanked us and offered us to come back again. I didn't care for the food...I felt completely ripped off on the quantity of food we received. I didn't want to complain because I didn't want anyone to spit in our food...that's how uncomfortable we felt. Never again will we return to this place."

"It's good, BBQ, no doubt about it. The people of Bay City are blessed to have this restaurant. Would I drive an hour just to eat there and drive an hour back home, No. I just happened to be driving thru Bay City. So if you're in the neighborhood of Bay City, yes, go there."

"Decided to try due to the high review. Highly disappointed! $14.06 for two ribs and a scoop of chopped beef and 3 sides not worth it. Nice service but the food is not worth the price. Will not return."

"The first plate (my plate) is sausage, brisket, and ham with bacon and onion mashed potatoes in the bowl, coleslaw, and potato salad. The second plate (wife's plate) had brisket, ribs, and pork with macaroni and cheese, bacon and onion mashed potatoes, and Texas green beans. The sausage I liked very much, good flavor and the sauce enhanced it although the sausage was good without the sauce. The brisket was hard and dry and without flavor on my plate and the sauce didn't do much for it. I like a brisket that is moist and can stand on its own. This brisket fell far from that. On the second plate it was a little bit moist but still didn't have much flavor if any. The ham was good as ham can be, nothing special that stood out. I did enjoy the sides very much. The mashed potatoes tasted very good with lots of flavor, they did these right. The coleslaw was also very good, it was a vinaigrette which was different for me but I liked them very much. Well done! The potato salad was also different from what I have had, everything was mashed together and a bit creamy. It also had a good taste and was enjoyable. Ribs were good but not amazing, taste was there but they were a little bit cool. The pork was alright, was expecting a pulled pork but it was just sliced. Ate it with the bread and pickles and sauce. Macaroni and cheese was nothing to be happy about, not much taste and wasn't cheesy enough. When I go to a smoke house and get macaroni and cheese I am expecting something with plenty of cheese and also smoked! Wasn't worth getting. The Texas green beans on the other hand was very good with lots of flavor, the best I have had! Price was good for the amount of food that was presented. We spent $20 a plate with a drink. As for the stars I would only give 3.5 if it was possible, A&A is better than average but not by much. So I rounded up to 4 stars. I would go back if asked to go by friends or family but not a place I would be excited about."

"It was our first visit after our soccer game and what a wonderful delight. We tried well all the meet selections and everything was great so I don't think you can go wrong no matter what your taste is. We had a wonderful selection of side and my hands down favorite was the green beans. Though all the sides we equally as great. Stop in and have something wonderful."
