Traditional Central Texas
Barbecue

"We ended up driving 27 hours from Chicago, and I can honestly say it was worth every mile. This was, without exaggeration, the best BBQ I've ever had. It felt like we were guests in George's home."

"This is BY FAR the best barbecue I've ever eaten in my whole (56 year) life! This place is in a category all by itself. Yes, it was THAT good!"

"I wish I could give more stars. I got to meet the owner, George — he is truly the master of his craft. The best bbq I've ever had. Try the chicken fried brisket."

"We're big foodies and always seek out the best spots, so we drove out of state just to try it — and this was the best BBQ I've ever had. I'd give them ten stars if I could."

"This is the best barbecue we've ever had. Best fried chicken, too. I've had bbq from all over the US — Georgia, Memphis, the Carolinas — and the brisket here was just ridiculously good."

"The lean brisket alone is better than Goldee's and way better than Leroy and Lewis. I wouldn't be surprised if they become #1 in four years. Worth the travel."

"This is as good as it gets in Texas. I've eaten at a handful of excellent bbq restaurants in Texas, but GW's had the best food AND the best service. Ribs might be the best I've ever had."

"GW's BBQ was absolutely incredible — it may have been the best BBQ I've ever eaten. The Wagyu ribs were quite possibly the single best bite of barbecue I've ever had."

"The brisket is excellent whether sliced or in a sandwich. No sauce required! I've been to Snow's, Black's and others, and would rank GW's right up there with the best."

"Came to GW's to celebrate my mother's birthday and we were amazed. Brisket was super soft, moist and flavorful. This bbq place is not like others — you don't need sauce to get flavor. Will come back again."
