Yum. Got a smoked loaded baked potato. The potato itself was smoky & well seasoned, making the whole thing delicious. Friendly service at a good venue. Happy!

This place has potential, went to try the ribs (pork) and the flavor was definitely there but my gosh what ever there using to maintain the temp of the ribs dried them out terribly the Mac and cheese tasted like boxed kraft with a HEAVY dash of liquid smoke, as for the service felt like a forced interaction,explained I was a first timer no interest or care taken just ,is that it,is that it,is that it. ♂️ I guess so.

Would give them 10 stars if I could. I recently had my wedding near Best Dam BBQ and we asked if we could bring the whole wedding party over the night before for BBQ and drinks. They served food for nearly 100 people and everything was fresh and hot. Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how good the brisket and ribs were. Thanks to Scott and everyone else at Planet Rock/Best Dam BBQ. Will be back for sure!

We absolutely love everything we try here, seriously. Now we are super excited they are offering more low carb options since that’s how we eat. We just had their chicken crust pizza and it was so delicious!! We have not found anywhere that *actually* serves a keto friendly/low carb pizza (when you dive into the ingredients they usually aren’t keto friendly at all) and they seriously nailed it! The chicken crust is super yummy and they loaded it with tons of the toppings and served it with a side of jalapenos. They even made sure it was exactly how we wanted it with marinara instead of bbq sauce. We ordered two pizzas, but one would have been plenty with everything on it. They also work really well with us as we often have special requests to accommodate our diet. We have tried their brisket quesadilla which is fantastic…we even brought our own low carb tortillas and they were happy to use them for us. Their Texas Twinkie is also delicious and a good size and the portions are always plentiful. We HIGHLY recommend Best Dan BBQ Joint as it is one of our favorite spots- for our low carb days and our cheat days. The atmosphere is also awesome and we love just being able to hang out and relax. (Photo is of our refrigerated leftover second pizza as we were too hungry to get a before photo )

Nice place aesthetically, the outdoorsy, in-the-oaks concept. They have a miniature bull and a burrito! But I came for the food.
