A Taste of Texas

"Being from Texas, was excited to try this place out, Not even close, tasted more like bad camping left overs..potato salad should of been called mustard salad, straight mustard, no mayo, no spices, it was reallly aweful, cole slaw was just cabbage chooped up with no oils, seasoning, nothing...Brisket mostly sliced fatty cuts, dry, overcooked the flavor right out of it, pulled pork was extremely dry and tough, the bbq sause that came on the side was the only option I was giving, that should of been called orange sause...took 45 minutes to get that order 2 go.. that was the worst bbq place i have ever eaten, $54, $59 with tip... Save Your Time and money.."

"Wanted to try something new in Mountain Home. My Bf and I are both from Texas, so A aTaste of Texas off 5th ave in Mountain Home, Idaho sounded yummy, but boy were we disappointed… After a confusing menu and having to repeat ourselves when ordering, we ordered the pulled pork basket with two sides and brisket plate with two sides. We watched a guy who came 15 minutes after us get his food that was also to-go 10 minutes before us. Our food finally came 45 minutes after ordering it to-go and was warm at best and was pretty much cold after our short 5 minute drive home. The Mac n cheese came hardly cheesy and with bacon on it when we only asked for Mac n cheese as our side (not a deal breaker) and was very spicy and hardly cheesy, the potato salad was all mustard basically, coleslaw had no flavor, okra was softly battered and not crispy, the brisket was flaky but still good, and pulled pork was also good but the bbq or house sauce that it came with was not worth raving over at all. For a $40 plus meal for two we expected more. For the wait and the cost the food should have been worth it and was not. I don’t often leave bad reviews but this deserves to be called out. I do not recommend."

"The food here was phenomenal. Best Brisket I've had this side of Texas for sure. Mac n Cheese was moist, mildly hot but bursting with flavor. Beans also had a mild hot as well as amazing flavor. Catfish was amazingly soft and melt in your mouth tender full of that Cajun spice flavor. Fried Okra was amazing as well."

"The catfish is my favorite. Such a perfect crunch to the thin Cajun seasoned batter. The fish was moist, but not soggy at all. I really like catfish and this might be the best I've ever had. I can't wait to have it again soon!"

"Truly awesome food. The brisket falls apart it's so tender and tastes amazing. The dirty rice was perfect. Mac n cheese had just enough mild heat to just add to the flavor, not detract."
