R&s Barbecue - Waco

Going to R&S was not supposed to be in our plans. I took my family to Waco for the Dr. Pepper museum, and we were supposed to eat BBQ on our way home to the Houston area, but time got away from us. I Google searched the highest rated BBQ in Waco and ended up here. Definitely not the typical Texas BBQ joint but nonetheless was good, just not what I was hoping for. No wood pile, no smokers to look at, food preparation done out of view, and Gospel music in the background. Very good service and helpful with the menu. Our order was slightly messed up, but was corrected. All four of us ordered brisket, but when we started asking for particulars were told to take it up with the chef. We all ended up with lean brisket, which was good, but we normally order moist, ends, with bark, or mixed. A couple of us had ribs, which were very good, but not great. My wife ordered sausage, and it looked and tasted like grocery store sausage that had been overcooked and partially sliced. The Mac and cheese was good, so where the green beans. My daughter let me try her potato salad, it was ok. The price was good, about $16-18 a person. I would have been upset about paying top BBQ prices for this food, because it wasn 't top Texas BBQ. Not every place has to be awesome and expensive, and it was definitely better than going to a chain restaurant like Rudy 's. (Sorry, no pictures this time. When we were served our food it didn 't scream You 'll want to remember this meal!

Girl's trip to Waco and we wanted to try some good Texas BBQ. R&S was the perfect spot. The ribs, and brisket was excellent. All of the workers were friendly and nice. We would highly recommend stopping here. You won't be disappointed!
