Brisket is very tender. Natural flavor and smokiness you won't need bbq sauce it's delicious by itself. Pulled pork is very juicy. And the ribs is well-cooked and tasty. Their beans is hearty warm. Stopped by on my way home and never regretted the decision. Will surely come back.

By far the best ribs I have had travelling around Texas, good enough in fact for me to buy a large container of his rib rub. The brisket is among the top five in Texas I have had. The sides were homemade and very good. His BBq sauce was excellent. Windthorst TX is very rural, but this BBQ is worth the drive!!!!!

Small town bbq with a big taste.... I've eaten BBQ all over the State of Texas this place tops many high profile BBQ joints I've eaten at, always perfectly cooked and has all the right seasoning that brings out the big taste... the beef brisket is top notch, the smoke sausage is unlike the average smoked sausage... they also have great seasoned fries, I'm not tator guy but these are addictive. I'm Gman in Fort Worth and this is my opinion and I know not everyone's taste is the same, but I smoke alot of meats and try alot of place's these folks have it down when it comes to making BBQ.

Yum! Authentic Texas pit bbq. Excellent flavor. Generous helpings. Sandwich is big. Complimentary pickles, onions, peppers. Just passing through but I'm sure we'll find an excuse to pass through again for the banana pudding.

I just stumbled across Zeke's BBQ while traveling south out of Wichita Falls. The young owners were very friendly and gave me samples to see if I liked the different items. I bought a take-out of chopped beef, potato salad, beans, and coleslaw. The chopped beef was very good. It was fairly lean and had a deep smokey taste. The beans were seasoned pintos and were also very good. I really like the coleslaw. It was lightly seasoned and did not have much mayonnaise (if any) in it. The potato salad was my least favorite. It was made with a mustard-mayo blend. Once home in Austin I added more dill relish and spicy brown mustard, and it was very tasty then. I highly recommend.

Stopped in on way through. Ordered the Spartan at the start of the busy lunch rush. They couldn't have been more polite and helpful with the order. We debated getting some jars of BBQ sauce for home but didn't as we hadn't tasted anything yet. Once at our destination, the family tore in and oh my... The meats were excellent and the potato salad was the closest to Grandma's we have found. And the sauce? We are now placing an order to have some shipped. Great BBQ top to bottom.

This place isn't perfect, but the only imperfection is that it's a couple of hours from my house. Obviously, I need to drive to Lubbock more often, and stop here coming and going! The chopped brisket was excellent, and the fries were crispy, and the nice lady who took our order was delightful. I can't wait to come back!
