-b-que Station #1 Independence

I've been to the other location but drove out here to try the #1. Nice guy working the register, he said the brisket was their best thing which I was extremely skeptical about. Decided to give it a shot and tried 3 meat plate with brisket, ribs and pulled pork. I gotta be honest here, their brisket is trash. By far the worst thing on my plate was the brisket, with the mac and cheese a close second. Their ribs are very good though, almost good enough to redeem the brisket. Pulled pork was super dry, honestly literally anywhere else would have better pulled pork. Maybe I just caught them at a bad time, but don't recommend something to me if that's the case. They have a pretty good house BBQ sauce and baked beans. Macaroni and cheese tasted like buttered pasta, not recommended. They have orange crush on tap which is another redeeming quality. I'm not a brisket expert but I'm fairly certain they're cheating by doing a short smoke time and finishing in an oven or something. Very little pink ring showing, pretty sure they're cheating us. Anyways, I don't think I'd ever drive out here again for a 2nd chance. The ribs are good tho, sorry for the harsh review but this is BBQ and you're way too close to Texas to be calling this brisket. Bathrooms were grimey.

I have been there several times, but today just horrible. My meat dry and beans all in da bottom of my bag. $25

Independence location is turning into a joke! Ordered $40 worth of food got home and missing a quarter of what we ordered! Called to see if a partial refund could be given due to the drive from our home and was treated very rudely by the ill mannered kids they’ve got working the place!

Amazing hole in the wall BBQ place. Everything not only was perfect but right off the highway. Worth the stop. Try them and review. You'll

Very good BBQ and that is not easy to find.I learned of this place some years back and they alway serve up great BBQ.
