Honkytonk Kid Bbq

We are visiting from Houston. My daughter is 8 years old but already an expert on bbq. In her humble opinion the brisket here outperforms almost all the famous bbq places in Houston. She really likes it! The owner is so friendly. The special comes with free beer too on Saturday. Would definitely recommend this place to folks who visit Waco.

I would have to say that HTBBQ serves some of the best BBQ in Waco. If I was eating just the BBQ I would give them 5 stars right up there with Guess and DeMaria's; however, there are a few things that bug me. They charge you $0.25 for ice. I just can't wrap my head around having to pay for ice. The menu also changes based on the day of the week and the week, so if you have a favorite you may not get it but a few times. The other issue is leaving smelling like a BBQ pit. Went back to work after lunch and Co-workers had lots of comments about the smell. Great food just be prepared for the quirks.

HTK is my absolute favorite spot for BBQ in Waco. The food is outstanding. His weekly features are always delicious as are all of the staples. The smoked Turkey is like nothing I've ever had and the brisket is as good as any you'll ever find. The side items are also excellent. The mac and cheese rivals what you would order in many fine dining restaurants. Do yourself a favor and don't pass this place by!
