I've been told that this was among Texas' best BBQ joints when award winning pitmaster Ed Dozier was still manning the pits. I wasn't around then, but I can tell you today that they still put out some respectable, just not incredible barbecue.



A three meat plate was served up quickly with ribs, brisket and sausage. The two sides of fresh and still crunchy green beans and creamy baked potato salad were both great. The sausage had good seasoning and pretty good snap to the casing. The meat had been ground a little more fine than I like, but it was a good link. Brisket had good smoke but was left a bit dry after all of the fat was scraped off the meat. A good smoke ring and nice black crust made for pretty slices, but the meat just wasn't as good as it looked. The ribs had a thick rub that hindered a good crust from forming, or they may have just been stored a little too long. Either way, the meat was still tender, moist and enjoyable. If you can't make the drive to some other exceptional choices for barbecue in this area west of Houston (like Vincek's in East Bernard and Austin's in Eagle Lake) then Dozier's is a fine option for smoked meats.
