I actually like TX roadhouse

Gaido's in Galveston is the most overrated restaurant I have been to.

I have to say The Big Fisherman in Rockport may be one of the most over rated restaurants in all of Texas. After reading the hype, I was shocked at how bad it was.

I just don't get Gaido's either. Very mediocre and very over priced.

In the late 80's-90's the Big Fisherman was pretty good from what I remember. The place burned down since I was there last and I have heard that its not near as good as it was...

I second The Big Fisherman, all the hype for nothing. The name is appropriate though, eat there a few times and you too can be a BIG Fisherman. Just about everything was fried, and what wasn't was barely edible.

At the risk of inciting a riot, To me, Sonny Bryan's is overrated now that it is owned by a conglomerate! Back in the Day, when Sonny Bryan(the late great Red Bryan's son)was standing back there slicing that succulent to die for brisket himself, he had no equal.

Today, for my money, at least here in Dallas, give me Hickory House on Riverfront, nee-Industrial,under the Houston Street Viaduct! That, gentlemen, is a barbecue sandwich!

I found the Kruze Market in Welder to be truly lacking, highly overrated! After all the hype i had heard from friends, and read about in such illustrious publications as Texas Monthly, man, what a letdown! The joint is as authentic a texas bbq joint as it gets but the cuisine--no thank you!

Give me the Southside Market in Elgin any day!

Rudy

Really don't think you will get much flak here about Sonny Bryan's. Just another restaurant that thinks past performance will assure current success. I seems to me the best Texas bar-b-cue is found where you least expect it.

Whataburger - blah

BUT.........they have good ketchup.

+1 on the Hickory House Rudy!

+1 Gives me the squirts when I eat there!

Buh..buh...buh...buhh..but they got good KETCHUP there!!!

Green Frog- Jacksboro
Herd's- Jacksboro
Carrabba's

Shouldn't even be in this thread.

It's f'n fast food! Of COURSE it's overrated. Fast Food by it's very nature, can't be very good.

most places I can think of are over-rated. When you think about it, it's hard to find a good place. I'm happy usually with a decent place at a fair price.
