Fun if you're a Sox fan as the bartender downstairs is the king of all Sox fans and there's huge TV but if you go there for food beware. Your food is paid for by WEIGHT on a stamp card - seriously, who thought that was a good idea. You're penalized if you lose your food ordering card...you feel terrible about ordering 6lbs of ribs...it's a lose-lose situation. Go to drink, skip the food.
Hill Country is definitely a unique experience, although the food is forgettable. Go (once) with a big, hungry crowd (out-of-towners would surely get a kick out of this place), be prepared to wait, wear your cowboy hat, and don't lose your ordering card.
I wouldn't go back since the food didn't wow me, but I'm glad I checked it out.
This is very authentic Texas Barbecue executed well. The fatty brisket and ribs are worth a special trip for, though the use of commercially raised poultry was obvious.
Got the "recession special" -- on Sundays 4-7 PM, $20 gets you the following:
Two massive ribs (one pork, one beef), 4 huge slices of brisket, 1/4 chicken, white bread, two sides, and dessert. It is an *enormous* amount of food.
I thought the chicken was tasty, with a sticky and crackly skin -- but the brisket and ribs were dry and a little tough for my taste. The sides my friends and I got were all decent, but nothing special: mac 'n cheese, green bean casserole, bourbon sweet potato mash, corn pudding, german potatoes and deviled eggs.
Desserts were good: a tender-crusted pecan pie, and a banana pudding with vanilla wafers.
My favorite thing by far was actually not part of the special. My friend ordered a sausage on the side, which was great -- so moist and flavorful.
