Dry Dry Dry. I usually come through midland early, back through pretty late. Finally hit it around lunch and decided to give it a shot. Ribs were tough, Dry and flavorless. Brisket was Dry, tasted a but like lighter fluid and zero seasoning. Sausage was decent - hard to screw up ben e Keith heat & eat links. Grossly overpriced, Ive definitely had better bbq at gas stations. Do yourself a favor and stay on the interstate. Podys in pecos or bucks in Sweetwater are not that far, and you'll get a good meal with good service at a reasonable price.

I did read the reviews but my husband and in-laws said it was one of the best years ago, and we all wanted some BBQ (Saturday evening 10/19/24). It was a little on the pricey side but I don't know if it was anymore than any other BBQ joint. All of the meat was cooked well and tender. However, that doesn't matter when there is 0 taste to it. It's like they completely forgot to season any of it. You can't salt and pepper BBQ after the fact, it just doesn't work. And BBQ sauce shouldn't need to be used if you know how to cook good bbq, it should be something extra only if you want it. The BBQ sauces (I tried them all) all tasted the same, same flavor but spicy had heat, sweet had extra sugar and so on, and none were great. Potato salad, coleslaw and beans were not great either. The cobbler was good but tasted like any other frozen cobbler you can buy the store. Non of the people working were very friendly either, not rude but just not friendly or welcoming. The only thing they did well was the cook on the meat and their iced tea was good. Definitely won't be going back. 4 of us ate and it was about $100. If it was good, I wouldn't mind paying that. But for that kind of money it better have some seasoning.

Ok I should have read the reviews I would not have went here came through Midland on my truck and "hey look"!!!! A texas bbq place !!! Parked the truck down the road a block or so walked in didn't know what to order or how so yeah just pointing at meat so yeah got some brisket , sweet ribs, and hot links and coleslaw the bill was 35 ish $ ....I about soiled my britches right there!! Good lands that's high priced ...then I see tip jars all over the place 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...put you tips in folks we sodomized your wallet so just put your tips in yet to we sure need more yes more money 💰...so the ribs were good the brisket was good but almost to much smoke on it the outside crust was a little bitter the hot links were real good...I would come back for the food but to pay that much it better be the best bbq I've ever had and it just wasn't the best of the best .

KEEP DRIVING! This place is highway robbery at its finest. The brisket was dry as dirt, the chicken was dry. And me and my buddy for 2 slices of brisket and a piece of chicken and 5 sides, and 2 small drinks it was $71. Jesus Christ I hate this place! $71!?!

August 28, 2024

Definitely not worth the money. Look at photos for reference. I will not be back!! Once I taste the meat instant regret. Only grabbed one slice of brisket one piece of chicken and some chopped brisket for 15 dollars is crazy. I should have asked for my money back!

I can't believe I hadn't given this place a review! It is definitely not my first time here. Usually come eat here at least once a year ot when ever we travel thru Midland. The food is delish. Can't go wrong with whatever you pick from the menu. The beans are top notch, as is all the food. They have veteran/military discount too!! The brisket and ribs are always my choices. The potato salad is always a great compliment to what ever meat you choose. I'll be stopping by next time I'm in the Permian Basin!

Barbecue brisket and spicy sausage is good. Ribs, dry brisket ar ok. Could be better, lacking flavor. BBQ sauce nothing special, extra sugar on one, extra spicy on the other. Smoked Baked potato not my favorite. Sweet BBQ Sauce to cover up the lack of flavor. Customer service is poor. Its one of those places owned by asians that want you to buy and get out.

★★
November 22, 2024

The price doesn t reflect quality at all. $35 for 2 pieces of brisket and a little sausage and 2 sides. Dry flavor less brisket and over cooked greasy sausage. Someone needs to show these people how to bbq. Hands down worst I ve had I don t know how this place stays so busy

Had brisket, ribs, and sausage. The brisket and ribs tasted like their fire died and was restarted mid-cook, or they fed it some green wood. Legitimately reminded me of some of my early errors when learning to smoke meat. The service was prompt, and the staff minding the dining areas were admirably diligent.

We stopped here on our way from Kansas City to Big Bend National Park! We love KC BBQ so we were excited to finally try Texas BBQ. KD BBQ did not disappoint. My husband and I shared chicken, turkey, jalapeño cheddar sausage, brisket, beans, and coleslaw. The meat was AMAZING - the turkey and chicken were literally the most tender pieces of meat I ve ever had.

This is definitely the weirdest place Ive ever eaten at, especially for a BBQ place. Its not really a restaurant, its more like a place to get your cooked meat for a party/gathering. While the meat we had was good, the sides were limited and bland. They have it set up like a broken up, multi set cafeteria/buffet stations. The website says they have plates with sides and sandwiches. However when we got there they only asked if it was to go or eating in and then you pick out your meat and pay by the weight of the meat and the sides are an extra charge. On another station you have bread and a couple topping (pickles, onions, etc) and bbq sauce. Their sandwhich bread is on this station and its plain, cheap white bread. No buns or even toasted bread. It is way over priced and I was not impressed with the service either, they acted annoyed that we didnt know how to go through the weird set up. The only reason I gave them 2 stars is because the meat was very good. Everything else just sucked.

We ordered brisket and potato salad. Sadly it was hard to order as we were unfortunately unable to communicate well with the staff. When we tried to ask questions it was clear there was a language barrier and against all my best attempts to learn, I just can not seem to grasp a second language. The brisket had a distinct smoky flavor. I do not prefer that taste and the potato salad seemed like it had chopped pickles in it. It also had a strong vinegar aftertaste and smell. It was also a little pricey as well for what felt like was an overall let down, we had never heard of KDs but decided to try it as we were passing through on our drive down to the border. Overall, I didnt enjoy the food or the experience.

The sausage was good. I had fun. Mostly all of the customers were first-time customers I didnt see any repeat business. The roadside billboard is effective at bringing them in. The brisket had a good smoke ring, tender; however, the taste signified dirty smoke-- not that sweet smoke from low and slow Probably from the highway traffic turnover. Better wood means better smoke. Overall Im satisfied for a great lunch. Definitely a tourist trap I spent $100.00 on 2plates desert and drinks. Bought 4 tshirts for 30 bucks a nice deal on souvenirs.

The bbq was ok. The smoke flavor blah, the spicy bbq sauce very spicy but good! The bean nice and spicy. The potato salad overly salty and blah. Good Cole slaw. Over all the food wasn t worth the $30 each with a drink. The meats charged per pound and 2 ribs with some brisket was almost $17. If the food had been a little better the price would have been fine

Corn wrapped in the foil no taste at all goes for the chicken also. Potato salad more like mashed potatoes. Turkey had to dip in the spicy bbque for it to have some taste. Sliced brisket I give it a 5 out of 10. Never again will I spend 36.00 here. GO TO DIXIES instead no way they call this bbque. -1 Star oh cashier not friendly at all.

February 22, 2024

Ive been hearing a lot of good things about this place and I happen to get a load coming through town so I thought well, Ill stop and give them a try. Yes its a cute little place but it is way way overpriced. It was over $75 for three people to eat. For a chopped beef sandwich, two slices of brisket and some sausage. It wasnt worth it. I realize it takes a lot to barbecue and people are probably in this area expecting to pay more than what they should because of the oil field and everything here is so overpriced Its not even funny. But I will not be coming back to this place. Who cant afford it? I cant.

I really wanted to like this place but there were too many negatives that did it for me. Starting off with the good, they are very nice people. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was very good. The ribs I got had good flavor but were just a bit dry. Now the brisket is what I judge a Texas Bbq joint on. And this one was a 0/5. Dryer than a flip flop. Would have likely failed a tender test if it wasn t so dry either. It had good flavor but nothing could overcome the dryness. I f I m spending these really high prices I can t get on board when the brisket comes out like that. All in all it was a bit of a rough one.

Food and atmosphere are great!! The only reason for 4 stars is the price. I m not by any means cheap and I appreciate good food and all that it takes to provide good food and service. However, this takes it to an extreme for BBQ in Midland, TX. So be ware the way it works bc i was not and got rudely awakened by the price shortly after you grab your tray, and then somebody asks what meats you want and they slice or put it on your tray, then you move to the buffet type area where they weigh your meat on butcher paper, then they right the price on the butcher paper (just the meat price), then you select desserts, any other sides, and your drink as you move toward the register. At this point you lose the family cow and your first born child. Very good BBQ and brisket beans though.

First time here, the young lady that showed us where to go and what to do was very nice. It was just my husband and I and we paid $65 for us two which generally would not be a problem BUT the sliced brisket was dry, the chopped brisket in bbq sauce was cold as if it had been pulled out of the fridge and put in the warmer but didn t warm all the way through. The Jalapeño cheddar sausage was really good but again it was cold. I m not talking cooled down, they were fridge cold. The outside of the sausage was warm to the touch but the inside was cold. This was our first time so we may consider trying it again but might be unlikely since first impressions are pretty important. The sweet tea was good and the peach cobbler was great. They need more side options though, mac n cheese and green beans maybe.

Expensive, but I wouldnt mind paying if the food was better. If I cooked a brisket like the one I had today I would have thrown it right out and pray nobody ever found out I desecrated a good piece of beef like that. Fortunately I had a piece of sausage to go with it but even that was just so-so. The beans were just blah, but the coleslaw was decent. I tried their vinegar sauce but it may as well have been water, nothing like a vinegar sauce at all. The peach cobbler was pretty good, but maybe I was just happy to get that brisket washed down with something that had flavor. Probably wont return, I could do as well or better at Dickeys and I dont consider that a compliment.

I didnt know you can have a negative review text removed, so heres another edit to let people know the food is far overpriced for a very minimal amount of food. And was nowhere near quality BBQ. Sausage was dry, brisket lacked any smoke ring and extremely greasy (not in a good way, but like artificially added). And 2 tough ribs. Not sure about the other +reviews, maybe they mistakenly ate somewhere else, paid marketing, or the locale is so remote they never had the real thing? Getting my previously detailed review somehow removed makes me think paid marketing.

December 22, 2023

I stopped by after a day of ATV riding. I hadn t been there in about 7 yrs. The Decor is Antique Stellar. Back then it was Sub Par at best. However, on 4/29/2023, I thought that the price of $21 per lbs on all meat was Pricey. I chose turkey and Ribs. I also got the potato salad and the Free beans. Total was around $26. The Staff was Super Nice and Friendly. I ask the meat carver if the sausage was house maid. After several repeated questions about the them being house made, another person told me they were outsourced. I passed on the sausage. The turkey kinda looked like it might have gotten some smoke but it was warming in water and still dry and Tasteless. The ribs looked to have some seasoning on them and had the taste of week old left over ribs from Dickies. The mashed potato salad needed Everything. The Free Pinto Beans tasted like beans and water. Probably the Worst I ve Ever had at at a place of business. I really should ve turned around when I walked in. There were around two tables that had full trays of partial eaten meat left on the table. I will say that KD s meats is the number 1 place for the Worst alleged BBQ in Texas that I ve EVER had!! KD s should stand for Keep Driving. FYI. I hope that KD s could real listen to the Customers and put more effort into the meat there passing off as BBQ . If not, be the First to have robots making the meat because that what it taste like. Good luck. Always stay 1st!!!

**READ THIS IF YOU WANT A DETAILED DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE FOOD AND EXPERIENCE** First things first, just know this place is pretty pricey BUT you definitely get what your paying for. When you enter, someone who works there will direct you to grab a tray with parchment paper. There you will be introduced to a lady or gentleman who will ask what cuts of meat you would like. It s priced by the pound so don t go over board. If your looking for flavor and a little heat. This will definitely be your go too place. I ll put it this way; If I lived here, this would definitely be my go to place for some BBQ with some family or friends. Brisket was so tender I could cut it with a fork, rib meat fell right off the bone and the spicy sausage I had was both juicy and flavorful. They had a wide verity of options to choose from but these were my 3 choices. We also had a side of brisket beans with our order which does cost extra. 3.50$ for a large or 1.79 for a small. Once your done paying you get to choose a table that suits you and your families space. They have an island in the middle where you get to pick your sauce, bread and some additional sides. There is a waiter who consistently checks on you and make sure your cup is always full which was great. As I stated, will you pay a lot? Yes, but will you get your worth? I certainly thought so. If your looking for cheap with no flavor. Try McDonald s or other fast food restaurants. If you want homemade, slow cooked and smoked meats. I encourage you to stop by.

I enjoyed my time here!! Cute and country. The staff were very helpful with it being my first time here. The corn and ribs were yummy. The chopped brisket unfortunately wasnt hot, just a lil warm, and my bottle fanta had zero carbonation for some reason.

I had a great experience. Brisket was smoked perfect, i got a tray of a little bit of everything just to taste. Entrance is on the side of the building, I walked in the exit. Pay by the pound of food on your tray. It is a little pricey, but I expect that being in Midland.

December 22, 2023

This was one of the worst barbecue I have ever tried, the smoked meats were absolutely disgusting. My wife and I only could stand one bite and we had to spit it out. The only thing we could stomach to eat was the corn on the cob and the baked potato. Way overpriced for barbecue, $79 for 2 was ridiculous! It may have been just a fluke, but I m not willing to pay that kind of money to try it again!!!

Very popular BBQ place in Midland. BBQ is priced per half pound buy sides drinks and condiments are included. Some BBQ was great, except chicken breast that was extremely dry. If you dont watch it, it gets quite expensive.

December 22, 2023

Was told this place was good but pricey, decided to try it anyways since I ve been craving bbq. Driest brisket I have ever ate. Ribs i don t know how to describe them. But the point is I will not spend another dollar here, definitely not worth the cost even at half price.

Peach cobbler was pretty good. Ribs were a little tough. Who has tough ribs? Beans were hard Regular barbecue sauce was too sweet. For $70 for two I expect better.

December 22, 2023

Definitely the worst bbq I ve ever had in my life. Hands down. Brisket was BURNT and had no flavor at all! The cole slaw literally taste like cleaning supplies!! Not to mention how expensive and packed this place is for absolutely no reason at all. Is this really voted the best bbq place in midland? I wouldn t spend my last dollar here. But I will say my lays potato chips were spot on. Not even the sweet tea was good! Never again. My 2 and 4 year old wouldn t even eat the brisket, they spit it right out. And they don t know the damn difference in what s good and what s not. But they knew this was not good

Well- I was really hungry for ribs and I come from a bbq family! The pork ribs were pressure cooked with no smoke taste. Beans were dry and not taken care of. The ribs cost $7. A piece!! No taste. Hate to give them a thumbs down but that was what it is!! Service was great and friendly. Not going back !! Sorry

Walking in takes you back in time a little. Cozy atmosphere with lots to look at. Enter and met by someone who serves you the meat portion of your choice. Meat is sold by the pound so you get what you want. Brisket was tender and juicy, hotlink was full of flavor. Sides - beans were fantastic potatoes sald - great taste. I didnt get desert but it looked delicious. For the price you get what you pay for. Highly recommend.

Walking in took me back to good old fashion barn style dining. The hospitality was great. When it came to the food uhhh not to write to write mamma about. The ribs were bland an cold no taste. The barbecue was probably made in the oven with no spicing, the pinto beans were not tasty, also potato salad was too runny. I call it the way I see and taste it. Again atmosphere great. Food not great. Price overly charged.

My order and feedback for each item: 1.) Brisket- super fatty, bland flavor 2.) Jalapeño sausage- cold and greasy, not spicy 3.) Ribs- Lukewarm, lots of fat, little flavor 4.) Coleslaw- decent 5.) Beans-the only thing that was remotely flavorful Staff was friendly but the food was below average .

Went here for my 41st birthday, and was expecting top notch BBQ. What I got was mediocre at best. For $21 a pound, I really expect every piece of meat to be cooked properly. The brisket while having a decent smoked taste, was extremely dry. The ribs were the same way. Good taste but dry. The sausage was probably the best part of the meal. Ive had worse, but Ive also had much much better.

I would like to recommend this place because the food is not bad, and the people were friendly, but... The price. Wow. I had half a slab of ribs, beans, and potato salad. Not even a drink. 40 bucks. The ribs were good, meaty, and tender although slightly overcooked which made the heel kind of tough. The flavor was very good. The brisket beans were delicious and I recommend them if youre going to eat here despite the price. The potato salad was not very good. About like you would get from pre-made at the grocery store. For the price, which is probably the most expensive BBQ Ive ever eaten, I expect the barbecue to be the best. It was good, but far from the best.

Came with my husband and our son, my son got a small slice of ham no sides&a drink,I got chopped brisket (equivalent to a sandwich size) 2 small sides& a drink. My husband got 2 meats ,2 large sides and a drink- it was $70 the meat was good but honestly for the price I feel ripped off!!! So the meats all together was around $40 but the sides and drinks are too expensive and not all that great! Wish they had more side dish options, we left disappointed , while it was busy-I expected so much better,wont be back,not worth it. Side note/the dine in atmosphere was very cool

Portions of meat are priced $10.60 a pound nice variety of meat choices then side of cherry or peach cobbler and Cole slaw or potato salad and drink are charged then to go to table you can get two different styles of beans salsa barbque sauce and rolls. I was very surprised at the quality of the brisket and kielbasa Very good flavor very tender ribs could have had a bit more meat on them skimpy compared to rest of the meats but flavor was good on the small amount of meat on the bone. I WILL BE BACK AGAIN. IT WAS VERY DELICIOUS!! The Service was better than most Resturaunts you go to today.

Where to start I love Texas BBQ. Was in the area for a flight. Decided to stop with my kiddo. They showed Brisket and ribs dinner on the online menu. Once I was there that was not an option. Had to order by the cut. There is a string language barrier. Mostly pointing. Pressed forward and ordered a slice brisket and 3 ribs. My kid did the same brisket 2 ribs plus a sausage. With beans a s coleslaw my total was $86. The brisket was fine. Nothing spectacular something I would expect at like Dickeys (re heated). The ribs were not eatable. I had to use my pocket knife to cut the meat off. The beans were lackluster/ just beans. Coleslaw was fine reminded me of KFC style. BBQ sauce was probably homemade as I had not tasted anything similar I attempted to tell the waitress about the ribs. Again language barrier. I love to pay good money for good bbq. I wish I would have gotten a bbq sandwich from McDonald s!

I was lucky to drive by this place for work on the road. Came back to it and was not disappointed. Interesting way you come in get your food cut it up or to go can you pick up some soda and vittles on the side. Decided to get some pulled pork sandwiches and a little bit of brisket and links eight time took some with me. I was very impressed with this barbecue place been around for 25 years. Found out it was also before a ice box store and a grain feed plus it sold fireplaces I believe. Thing that caught my attention was that big old windmill hanging up over the biggest room. On and run by a local family and love all the old timey decorations. Its barbecue and its going to be somewhat pricey but hey youll pay anything for good tasty food. If you drive by hangry just the place to get your grub on and get your toes twinkling lol. Parking: This place looks like it can get full really fast so I can imagine parking will fill up quick but there seems to be more on the other side of the fence to park open space. Kid-friendliness: Yes it is. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp especially built for handicap
