THIS JOINT IS NOW CLOSED
Blue Ox BBQ is open until 2AM and I definitely respect that. I arrived about 8:00PM.
Brisket was thick cut, good not great. It had a perfect tug with a nice crust. Featured a simple salt and pepper rub, with additional pepper was added after the beef was cut. I could've used more smoke. The Brisket was the definite high point.
Pork ribs were fine, not great. Not a ton of flavor and a bit dry on the edges. Beef sausage was pretty unnotable. Herby sauce was almost like a tomato soup.
Hours: Permanently Closed
*All Grades Are Based Solely on the Quality of Texas BBQ Offered at the Joint. We Aren't Looking for Burgers or Catfish!
My Grading Scale:
A = This is some of the finest BBQ you'll find anywhere. It is worth a roadtrip in itself along with any required wait.
B = This is very good BBQ, even if it is over an hour away, consider making the drive.
C = This is just average BBQ but it's worth a stop in a pinch.
D = This is a poor example of Texas BBQ. Even if it's the only place around, skip it. Apologize to any non-Texans that have eaten here.
F = This is not only a bad Texas BBQ, it is probably not suitable for human consumption.
