5 days in texas. on a trip all around texas and everywhere we go our group has been treated to meals and many of them have been bbq. by day 5 i was dreading doing bbq (there can be to much of a good thing). so we pulled up to smokey's bbq and was less then excited. i had heard that we were not in the best area and there were 2 police cars in the parking lot. well what they say about what's in the inside is what counts about people the same can be said for smokey's. if i hadn't been told by a local guy i would have drove right by it, but there i was. turns out the police were there by choice to eat and i had one of the best meals i can remember. a great taste of local flavor all around and the staff made me feel like family. if and when i pass by this way again or even if i have to go out of my way, i will eat at smokey's again! - ps - it was hard to do but it was worth saving a little room for desert! nick kraus - wwp soldier ride
