The Brother that had the Cottons in Portland was better than Calallen but he closed the doors and joined the brother in Calallen. i think his rent may have been to high. I knew the original Joe Cotton and ate at his first place in Robstown before moving out to the highway. That was in the 60's. All of the restaurants are having employee problems. The Back Street in Sinton has sold to new owners. Our waiter had been a waiter there for like 40 years or something. I can't remember the exact amount of time. I know he played for Robstown because he was telling us stories of remembering playing against Pete Vargas from Alice. Vargas is an Alice legend.

From Austin, SA, to Lockhart, Gonzales to Corpus. He makes that 80 mile drive to Sequin at least once a week to the Burnt Bean. Great food and lots of it.

You know a place I miss down there that also was lost to fire... The Big Red Barn!!! Man that was good food. For BBQ places, all you gents should make the trip to Lexington, Texas. There is a place there, Snow's BBQ, only open on Saturdays, and it opens at like 7 am and closes when they run out of meat (usually about noon or so). That place has the best Brisket in the country!!! They've even been in Texas Monthly as Rated #1 in Texas. I prefer Franklins in Austin. That's a dang good place too... they were #2 in Texas Monthly. Coopers was 3 and 4 (Llano then New Braunfels).

Same sauce they’ve always used. They were pretty damn successful before the fire I don't know I'm just saying I didn't like the sauce. Not for a place as locally famous as them. But everything else was very good. Most BBQ joints have some pretty good meat but it is all the fixings that are usually 'blah' to me. Burnt Bean in Seguin is ridiculous top to bottom but you will wait in line there every time! Ernest Servantes can flat out cook some food now!!! www.burntbeanco.com/

The fact that you said it was good makes me question everything about you.

The fact that you said it was good makes me question everything about you. On the BBQ side you are correct. Everything is "smoked" and shipped from a central kitchen in Downtown San Antonio. When I had an office close by to the one here in Calallen, I'd get their salads and they were decent. They do have good fried chicken and tenders which they make in house. Learned this during the height of the pandemic shutdowns and the local Popeyes and KFC would have wait times forever on Sundays for Chicken. My favorite though for Chicken in Calallen is definitely the Chicken Shack off I-37, but they are closed on Sunday.

Place is full of FB folks on those stops.
