Overall, great spot with great BBQ. I am very biased as I love my “off the beaten path” BBQ spots!We had a large group and the Large Family Pack was good but we did end up needing a little extra. They said it could be for 8 people and we had 10 so we knew we were pushing it.We tried a large mix of brisket, chicken, ribs, regular sausage, and turkey. Everyone agreed that the meats were great!For the sides, we tried the green beans, okra, fries, mac-n-cheese, potato salad, and coleslaw. The group favorite were the green beans. I really liked the potato salad and fries too. For me, the mac-n-cheese was too soupy. Still good but probably not a side I would get again.If you choose to visit, I hope you enjoy!Vegetarian options: I mean, I shouldn’t have to say it but if you are a vegetarian do NOT visit a BBQ joint.

Exceptional barbeque, friendly and fast service and seating inside or out. My husband had the two meat plate with pinto beans, Mac and cheese, Jalapeno sausage and brisket. They asked how he wanted the brisket and I believe offered 4 different ways. I had the Baked potato with chopped beef and it was a nice size with plenty of toppings. Yummy and large enough to bring some home. Their barbeque sauce is flavorful and I heard later that you could ask for the hot version. We'll be back!

I love this little restaurant. It has a good, small town feel with friendly service. I have been stopping here for a few years now and I always get the same things. The smoked chicken is delicious! It is always perfectly cooked and in my opinion not over smoked but that’s a personal preference. The jalapeño corn bread is fantastic and it’s a fun Texas shape. Don’t forget to ask for some of their whipped butter to go on top. The mac and cheese is nice and creamy. You might as well buy a bottle of BBQ sauce while you’re there or you’ll be sorry you didn’t. It’s outstanding.

I went to visit my daughter in her new hometown in Texas. They wanted to take me to eat at a local BBQ spot, not a chain restaurant. They did their research, talked with locals, and found this nice little place. It met all the Southern requirements of good BBQ: small location, individually owned, indoor and outdoor seating, cartoon pig on the wall, and great food. I tried the Baker with Meat. A baker is a gigantic potato filled with brisket, green onions, and cheese. It was delicious, filling, and made all my taste buds happy. I'm sad I only had enough room for the baker and none for the pie, they had a lot of great choices. When we go back again, I'll be heading to my new favorite spot.

The best breakfast tacos I have had. Chorizo / beans / bacon cheese on grilled tortilla!! Dipped in homemade hot sauce! Then I had the chopped baker with smoked jalapeño cheddar sausage! Lots of places offer loaded baked potatoes, but this by far is the best one! Homemade bbq sauce completes the baker!

Hill Country Smokehouse catered our wedding in Bertram in April and from start to finish it was a wonderful experience! My husband and I went in for a tasting and we were treated like family by Lino and his wife. Our wedding was almost a month ago and our guests are STILL talking about the barbecue! My husband and I, and our guests, were also very impressed with how smooth, quick and easy the buffet line went. Everything was perfect! Thank you Hill Country Smokehouse for providing a true Texas barbecue experience at our wedding :)

My daughter and I went to the smokehouse for breakfast. We both had the chopped brisket wrap and a breakfast taco. The chopped brisket wrap was amazing, definitely worth the stop. The tacos and wraps were generous in size. The real spotlight for me was their green salsa for the taco. Although all three of their salsas were great, the green had just the right amount of kick and the flavor was amazing! I will definitely be back and will be ordering BBQ for my parties from here. I highly recommend this place. Worth the drive from Liberty Hill.

We love this place and when traveling through town we always stop. I called and ordered tacos this Morning our way through. As we got the bag it smelled amazing and the tacos were super hot. We noticed they were wrong. I am allergic to eggs so told them they were wrong and they were gracious and made new ones. Unfortunately that bag of tacos was not hot and we’re not the wonderful tacos we always get. All the tacos were cold and just not to the previous standard this place always upholds. Super disappointing after an hour drive for tacos.

A gem of a find in Bertram. We ate there before a music performance at the Globe Theatre. Only downside is that they close at 7PM on Saturday nights and the shows at the Globe start at 8PM......They should really consider staying open at least 30 minutes longer if a show is scheduled and perhaps cooperate with the Globe Theatre for some publicity.As for the food.....the side dishes we tried (Cole Slaw and Potato Salad) were both outstanding. Crunchy sweet Cole Slaw and a good mustard potato salad. The Jalapeno sausage was greasy in a good way and very tasty. Only slight disappointment was the brisket which was tender, but a little dry. The sauce was perfect though...so those flaws were hidden. Portions were very adequate. Nice clean tables inside and very nice picnic tables outside. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Lots of other options on the menu as well.
