In the same day I visited an empty Michna's which was serving up beautifully smoked meat with genuinely thankful service, I walked into a packed Uncle Dan's at 2:00 in the afternoon. Hoping for the best, I went with the three meat plate of ribs, brisket and hot links.
Simply put, it was awful outside of the nicely balanced pea salad. The brisket was chewy had little flavor of any kind let alone smokiness. The single spare rib was gargantuan, and damn chewy. My jaw got a workout trying to dislodge the few bites that I could stomach. Hot links that tasted like little more than hot dogs did nothing to save the day. Even the mac & cheese was subpar. This was one day when I was jealous of my wife (happy birthday, honey) who ordered a simple cheeseburger. She shared just enough to make me wish I could have reconsidered my order, except that pea salad.

Uncle Dans is the best BBQ EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! You take that back.
What does this baloney (or lake there of in the case of Uncle Dan's) say about the taste of those in Waco that have consistently voted Uncle Dan's NUMBER 1 BBQ the last 15 YEARS? Do everyone a favor and stay in Austin.
I tried the 3 meat dinner and, without a doubt, it was the worst BBQ dinner I have ever had. The chopped BBQ had pieces that were rock hard all through it. The coleslaw was nasty. The corn was bland and overcooked.I literally almost lost my dinner when I tried a bite of their deviled egg. Even their Tea was stale as all get out. The only thing that was tolerable was the dinner roll.
I agree. I have only been in Waco for about a year and everyone raved about this place. I even went there with a coupon for half price. Man was I disappointed. Friends think I'm crazy for never wanting to eat there again. Any other choice in Waco is better than this choice.
