I told them to pack it to go, but it smells so good that I couldn't wait to try it. How fast do you suspect I'll be driving home now? If you said VERY, you are absolutely correct. What's that? Jalapeño corn pudding. Why did I only order 1? UPDATE: I'm home. Let me just say this--- there's not another BBQ joint that could compete on even their best day. All the way to the takeout packaging and "fancy" cutlery. So smart packing in the brown paper box and bag. I drove home to the island and my food is ready to eat right out of the box. Omg I have not a single negative thing besides where have they been all my life? Would you look at that brisket? JUST LOOK AT IT!

I have to say I didn't expect too much whenever I see high ratings in a small town, but the pictures looked legit and the ambience looked great. Omg. Small town, "big city standard" flavors. I'm originally from Bangkok and I love rich flavors that are well-balanced. The brisket was amazing (I lived in Austin at one point) and the nachos were the best I have ever had. I don't like it when the chips get soggy, but even with all the sauce and toppings - the chips were still crunchy. Nice view of a historic courthouse and large portion as well 👍🏻 Worth a drive out of I-95. So good!

We had the chance to bring our entire office to Hootenany’s today, and it was an incredible experience. We had more than 14 people attending, and we worked with them ahead of time to get our orders set up so everything was ready when we arrived. From start to finish, the food was outstanding. I always judge a barbecue place by whether I need sauce for the ribs, and Hootenany’s absolutely delivered. The meat was moist, packed with flavor, and honestly didn’t need sauce at all. That said, the street corn deserves special mention. The sauce on the corn was so good that it ended up becoming my dipping sauce for everything else on the plate. This is a great spot for lunch or for a group meal. If you’re bringing a large group, a little coordination ahead of time is a good idea, and getting there early helps if you want to make sure you have seating since they don’t take reservations.
