Open M-Sat 10-9, Sun 11-8
About an hour earlier, I was at the Tyler location of Bodacious Bar-B-Q. They kept me from my daily brisket, so as I was driving through Henderson, Texas, I decided to stop at the Bodacious along Highway 79 to get a brisket sandwich and see if this was the holy grail of Bodacious. After a bite of the brisket, I realized I should've gotten a combo plate (which was $4 cheaper than the Tyler location), but our destination for the day was still far off, and we had a party to get to.
As the photo shows, this was some good looking brisket. A thick black crust enveloping a deep beautiful smokering was making my mouth water. While all the fat had been unfortunately trimmed away, the slices were very moist with a nice texture. A robust flavor from the rub really rounded out the flavor. All told, this was some very good brisket. I wish I'd tried the ribs. This may just be the holy grail of Bodacious, and I'll verify on my next trip that way.

Quit searching at Bodacious - you'll never find it. Try ShackDaddy's Bar-B-Que at 2718 Gilmer Road, Longview, 75604. Vastly superior!
ReplyDeleteShackDaddy's was terrible the time I went.
ReplyDeleteI'd be willing to bet "Ben" owns shackdaddy's.
ReplyDeleteDont think you were at ShackDaddys because the food I had there was AWESOME! Best ribs I have ever had.
ReplyDeleteShackDaddy's closed. A good burger joint called Big O Burger opened in its location, and it has since closed down, too.
